AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Existing tobacco sucker control compositions have stability issues in aqueous emulsions, which affect their effectiveness in inhibiting sucker growth in tobacco plants.
Method used
A tobacco sucker control composition comprising 75 wt% to 95 wt% of a fatty alcohol and 25 wt% to 5 wt% of an emulsifier, where the emulsifier includes a vegetable oil alkoxylate and optionally an alkyl glycol ester, is used to form a stable aqueous emulsion.
Benefits of technology
The composition forms emulsions that are more stable than traditional compositions, effectively inhibiting sucker growth in tobacco plants without causing phytotoxicity or affecting leaf yield and quality.

Abstract
The invention relates to a tobacco sucker control composition comprising 75 wt% to 90 wt% of a fatty alcohol and 25 wt% to 10 wt% of an emulsifier, wherein the emulsifier comprises a vegetable oil alkoxylate and optionally an alkyl glycol ester. The invention further extends to a tobacco sucker control aqueous emulsion comprising the tobacco sucker control composition, and to a method and use of the tobacco sucker control composition and the tobacco sucker control aqueous emulsion for inhibiting sucker growth in tobacco plants.
