Abstract:
1. An agricultural composition comprising: a) a silicone having the formula: where M=R M′=R with R 1 selected from the group consisting of branched monovalent hydrocarbon radical of from 3 to 6 carbon atoms and R 7 , where R 7 is selected from the group consisting of R with R 8 , R 9 , and R 10 each independently selected from the group of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms and monovalent aryl or alkaryl hydrocarbon radicals having from 6 to 13 carbon atoms and R 12 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms, R where R 13 is a divalent linear or branched hydrocarbon radical having the structure: —CH where R 15 is H or methyl; R 16 is a divalent alkyl radical of 1 to 6 carbons where the subscript d may be 0 or 1; R and R 5 and R 6 are each independently selected from the group of monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms or R 4 ; and b) an agriculturally active component selected from the group consisting of pesticides, fungicides, insecticides, herbicides and fertilizers wherein said agricultural composition has an enhanced resistance to hydrolysis.
