Abstract
Abstract The disclosure describes a method for improved plant pest control comprising contacting a plant or plant pest with a composition comprising an effective amount of a plant pesticide and an effective delivery enhancing amount of compound having the structural formula ##STR1## wherein R' is H or a lower alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms, m is 3-7, n is 0-17 and R is --CH 3 , ##STR2## where R" is H or halogen, with the proviso that if m is 3 and R is CH 3 , then n is 5-17. Typical plant pesticides include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, rodenticides, nematicides molluscicides and acaricides. The preferred penetration enhancing compound is 1-n-dodecylaza cycloheptan-2-one.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
An improved method for plant pest control, comprising the steps of: delivering, as a first ingredient, an effective amount of a plant pesticide to a plant; and enhancing penetration of the plant pesticide into a target organism associated with the plant, namely a plant, an insect, a fungus, a mollusk, an arachnid, or a nematode, by simultaneously delivering, as a different, second ingredient, a penetration enhancing amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR31## where R 1 is H or a lower alkyl having 1-4 carbon atoms, m is 5-7, n is 6-17, and R is --CH 3 or ##STR32##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
