Patent ID: 7927616

Claim:
An aqueous pesticide composition for applying to a plant, the composition consisting of: (a) a phytotoxicity-inducing amount of about 0.01% to about 15% w/w of a phytotoxicity-inducing synthetic pesticide selected from a sodium aluminofluoride pesticide, a copper hydroxide pesticide, a chlorothalonil pesticide, and a propiconazole pesticide; and (b) a pesticide-induced phytotoxicity reducing component comprising: (i) about 0.1% to about 20% w/w of an assimilable carbon-skeleton energy component comprising corn syrup; (ii) about 0.0001% to about 0.5% w/w of a water soluble macronutrient component comprising N, K, Ca and Mg; (iii) about 0.00000001% to about 0.1% w/w of a water soluble micronutrient component comprising Zn, Fe and Mn; (iv) about 0.0000001% to about 0.1% w/w of a vitamin/cofactor component comprising three or more vitamin/cofactors selected from the group consisting of pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, thiamine, pyrophosphate, riboflavin, biotin, pantothenic acid, phosphatidylcholine, inositol, para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), nicotinic acid and folic acid; and (v) an organosilicone surfactant; wherein components (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) are present in amounts sufficient to reduce pesticide-induced phytotoxicity of the plant.
