Various aspects disclosed herein disclose mesocapsules that include active ingredients such as agriculturally active ingredients including various fungicides, insecticides, miticides, herbicides, safeners and modifiers of plant physiology or structure. These mesocapsules are comprised of a polyurea shell and include hydrophilic groups on their surfaces. These mesocapsules have a volume-average diameter of about 500 nm or less and some of them have a volume-average diameter on the order of about 300 nm or less. These mesocapsules are especially well suited for delivering active ingredients that are not very soluble in water, many of these compounds have solubility values in the range of 1,000 ppm or less. Methods for making these mesocapsules include interfacial polycondensation reactions carried out in the presence of surfactants such as sodium dodecyl sulfate and another method in which all or most of the surfactant is replaced by adding amino acids to the aqueous phase of the interfacial reaction mixture before forming the final emulsion.

The present disclosure relates to pesticide compositions consisting of meso-sized particles in combination with certain adjuvants such as built-in adjuvants which are added directly to the formulation or to an aqueous dilution of the formulation such as tank-mix adjuvants, to provide enhanced effectiveness for the control of agricultural pests. Mesoparticle compositions containing such adjuvants have been found to provide improved effectiveness compared to mesoparticle compositions not containing such adjuvants or to conventional formulations.

Complexes of herbicidal carboxylic acids and amine-containing polymers or oligomers are provided. These herbicidal complexes are useful for controlling unwanted plant growth. The herbicidal complexes have low solubility in water, low volatility relative to commercial compositions of the corresponding herbicidal carboxylic acids, and offer similar or improved herbicidal performance when compared to existing salts of the herbicidal carboxylic acids.

A pesticidal composition comprises at least one anionic surfactant and an active ingredient group alpha (AIGA) compound at the weight ratio of anionic surfactant to AIGA compound of at least about 20:1. The pesticidal composition shows an enhanced residue activity of the AIGA compound in soil. A method of controlling a sap-feeding insect on a top part of the plant comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of such pesticidal composition to soil around a root system of the plant. A method of controlling pests comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of such pesticidal composition to at least one of: soil, seed of a plant, a portion of a plant, and locus where control of pests is desired.
