ABSTRACT:
A clove oil formulation which inhibits soil-borne fungal diseases is disclosed. The formulation includes about 70-90% by weight rectified clove oil, and about 2-30% by weight surfactant. The surfactant includes about 15-95% by weight nonionic compounds such as ethoxylated monoglycerides, ethoxylated diglycerides, ethoxylated alcohols, silicone glycol copolymers, sorbitan fatty acid esters, ethoxylated alkyl phenols, ethylene oxide block copolymers, and propylene oxide block copolymers. The surfactant further includes about 5-85% by weight anionic compounds such as amine alkylaryl sulfonate, calcium alkylaryl sulfonate and phosphate esters. The formulation may also include up to about 30% by weight of a solvent such as alcohol, esters, glycol ethers, mineral oil, methyl esters and hydrocarbon solvents.
