| abstract |
The present invention relates to an agrochemical composition comprising a pesticide and an alkoxylate of the formula (I): R 1 −[AO] n −O−C(R 3 )(R 4 )−O−[CH 2 −CH 2 −O] m -R 2 where R 1 is a C 6 -C 32 aliphatic hydrocarbon group, R 2 is a C 1 -C 18 aliphatic hydrocarbon group, R 3 and R 4 are independently form another H or C 1 -C 12 aliphatic hydrocarbon groups, AO is C 2 -C 6 alkyleneoxy group, n is from 1 to 100, and m is from 0 to 10. The invention further relates to said alkoxylate. The invention further relates to a method of preparing said composition by bringing the alkoxylate and the pesticide into contact. Finally, the invention relates to a method of controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, wherein said composition is allowed to act on the respective pests, their environment or the crop plants to be protected from the respective pest, on the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or on the crop plants and/or on their environment; and to seed containing said composition. |
