Process for the Preparation of a Plant Treatment Agent and Process for the Treatment of Plants

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a method for making a plant treatment agent by mixing a self-drying and/or oxidatively curing oil with water to create an emulsion. This emulsion can be applied directly to plants, where after water evaporates, the oil forms a durable, dry film on the plant surfaces. This film acts mainly as a physical or mechanical barrier to protect the plant from various environmental threats and can be adjusted by dilution to serve different purposes (herbicidal, protective, or pest/fungus control effects).

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Agricultural crop protection against pests (e.g., insects, mites, fungal pathogens).
• Reducing water loss and increasing drought tolerance for crops by forming a protective barrier on leaves.
• Herbicidal treatment for controlling unwanted plants by applying a thicker oil layer that blocks gas/water exchange.
• Improving the longevity and durability of plant protection agents, making them more rain-resistant.
• Delivering additional treatment agents (e.g., biologicals, chemicals) with enhanced resistance to being washed off by rain.
• Protecting crops from environmental stresses such as UV light or pollution.
• Application on food crops, since edible oils can be used, ensuring safety for human consumption.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Improved durability and wash-off resistance compared to traditional oil-based plant treatments, especially after rain.
• Minimized environmental and human health risks by using edible oils or natural substances.
• Adjustable film thickness and effects, allowing customization for different crops and environmental needs.
• Physical protection without relying on potentially harmful chemicals; mechanical barrier reduces pathogen and pest colonization.
• Ease of use; the emulsion can be prepared and applied with standard spraying equipment.
• Flexible formulation to accommodate additional functionalities (e.g., insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal) as needed.
• Reduced need for reapplication due to longevity and rain resistance of the protective film.

Patent Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a plant treatment agent by means of at least one oil agent, wherein a self-drying and/or oxidatively curing oil agent is mixed with water to form an emulsion, which, in particular, forms the plant treatment agent directly or forms a precursor therefor.
