Abstract:
1. An insecticidal composition comprising by weight based on the total weight of the composition: (a) from about 9 to about 91% of one or more anthranilic diamide insecticides; and (b) from about 9 to about 91% of an acrylate/methacrylate-based diblock copolymer component having a water solubility of at least 5% by weight at 20° C., a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of at least 3 and not more than 35, and an average molecular weight ranging from about 1,500 to about 50,000 Daltons; wherein X is N; R1 is CH R2 is H, F, Cl, Br or —CN; R3 is F, Cl, Br, C1-C4 haloalkyl or C1-C4 haloalkoxy; R4a is H, C1-C4 alkyl, cyclopropylmethyl or 1-cyclopropylethyl; R4b is H or CH R5 is H, F, Cl or Br; and R6 is H, F, Cl or Br, wherein component (b) is selected from acrylate/methacrylate-based diblock copolymers of Formula 2, where each R 7 is independently selected from H and CH 3 ; 5≦q≦600; 5≦y≦600; Q is C 1 -C 20 straight chain alkyl or C 3 -C 20 branched alkyl; and Y is hydroxyethyl or 3-hydroxy propyl, or Y is —(CH wherein the ratio of component (b) to component (a) is about 1:10 to about 10:1 by weight.
