Patent ID: 7700797

Claim:
An agricultural composition comprising: (a) a silicon containing compound having the formula: (R 1 )(R 2 )(R 3 )Si—R 4 —Si(R 5 )(R 6 )(R 7 ) wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 5 , and R 6 are each independently selected from the group consisting of 1 to 6 monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, aryl, and a hydrocarbon group of 7 to 10 carbons containing an aryl group; R 4 is a hydrocarbon group of 1 to 3 carbons; R 7 is an alkyleneoxide group of the general formula: R 8 (C 2 H 4 O) d (C 3 H 6 O) c (C 4 H 8 O) f R 9 where R 8 is a divalent linear or branched hydrocarbon radical having the structure: —CH 2 —CH(R 10 )(R 11 ) g O— where R 10 is H or methyl; R 11 is a divalent alkyl radical of 1 to 6 carbons where the subscript g is 0 or 1; R 9 is selected from the group consisting of H, monovalent hydrocarbon radicals of 1 to 6 carbon atoms and acetyl, subject to the limitation that the subscripts d, e and f are zero or positive and satisfy the following relationships: 2≦ d+e+f≦ 20 with d≧2 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.
