Benefits of technology

The present invention is a solution to enhance the performance of fungicides and insecticides on living plants by using a synergistic combination of buffered amine oxide and either an insecticide or fungicide. This results in improved resistance of the plant to deterioration caused by fungi and insects while using a smaller quantity of the insecticide or fungicide. This solution is economical and provides effective means for protecting plants from harmful organisms.

Problems solved by technology

Fungi, insects and other pests cause significant economic losses in food crop production as well as losses in forestry, tree plantations, pastures, flowers and other agricultural products.
This can interfere with desired functionality, the health of plants, as well as the aesthetics of an area containing vegetation.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]As employed herein, the term “living plant” is used in its ordinary sense, and is to be distinguished from both (a) plants which have died and (b) products or items which once were, but are no longer living or part of a living plant such as, for example, lumber. This definition will include living plant food products such as fruits or vegetables which have been removed from a plant.

[0021]As employed herein, a “buffer system” is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or a weak base with its conjugate acid. A buffer system may also be obtained by adding a weak acid / conjugate base or a weak base / conjugate acid or by adding the weak acid / weak base and a strong acid / strong base in sufficient amount to form the conjugate acid / conjugate base.

[0022]The present invention involves creating a synergistic effect by applying to the plant a solution which includes of either an insecticide or a fungicide or both which will achieve a synergistically ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a solution for resisting destruction of living plants and a related method. A solution including a buffered amine oxide admixed with at least one material selected from the group consisting of insecticides and fungicides is applied to the living plant and provides a synergistically effective greater resistance to living plant deterioration than any of the individual buffered amine oxide, insecticides and fungicide achieve considered individually. A related method is disclosed.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to an improved solution for enhancing protection of living plants through synergistic effects between buffered amine oxides and insecticides and fungicides and related methods.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]Fungi, insects and other pests cause significant economic losses in food crop production as well as losses in forestry, tree plantations, pastures, flowers and other agricultural products. In addition, fungicide and insecticides have been employed in a wide variety of locations and types of uses to inhibit plant destruction due to fungus and insect pests. Problems created by insects and fungi have long existed in many environments including, but not limited to agriculture, parks, golf courses, residential environments, highways, vegetable gardens, railroad tracks, recreational facilities, floral gardens, forests, pastures, waterways and in many other environments. This can in...
