Fecha de publicación: -- Fuente: WIPO "tomato" The present disclosure relates to a method of preparing a sustained release formulation, the method comprises, mixing of a carrier composition with a volatile organic substance to form a blend; the carrier composition comprises: (i) a hydrophobic organic carrier; and (ii) a quaternary amine, as well as to methods of preparing the sustained release formulation. Also forming part of the present disclosure is a sustained release formulation comprising a blend of: (i) a hydrophobic organic carrier; (ii) a quaternary amine and (iii) a volatile organic substance; wherein the sustained release formulation is essentially water free; and wherein the quaternary amine is of a source different from the source of the hydrophobic organic carrier, as well as to the uses of the sustained release formulation for controlling a target organism. Finally, there is a disclosed carrier composition comprising a blend of: (i) a hydrophobic organic carrier; and (ii) a quaternary amine.
