Patent ID: 8575065

Claim:
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 star copolymer component having a water solubility of at least 5% by weight at 20° C., a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of at least or about 5, and an average molecular weight ranging from about 1,500 to about 150,000 Daltons; wherein component (a) comprises at least one compound selected from anthranilic diamides of Formula 1, N-oxides, and salts thereof, herein X is N; R1 is CH 3 , Cl, Br or F; 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 3 ; R5 is H, F, Cl or Br; R6 is H, F, Cl or Br; wherein component (b) is selected from acrylate/methacrylate-based star copolymers of Formula 2, wherein: 5≦q≦600; 5≦y≦600; each R 7 is independently selected from H and CH 3 ; 2≦S≦10; Q is selected from the group consisting of benzyl, glycidyl, C 1 -C 20 straight chain alkyl, C 3 -C 20 branched alkyl, 2-phenoxyethyl; Y is hydroxyethyl or 3-hydroxy propyl, or Y is a functional group derived from the reaction of a glycidyl group with, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, or 1,6-hexanediol, or Y is methoxy ethylene glycol polymers or ethylene glycol polymers with a degree of polymerization of 1 to 113; and T is a functional group selected from the group consisting of T 1 -T 4 : wherein the ratio of component (b) to component (a) is about 1:10 to about 10:1 by weight.
