A herbicidal composition comprises an aqueous solution of a plurality of salts of glyphosate wherein said glyphosate is in anionic form accompanied by low molecular weight non-amphiphilic cations, wherein a major amount but less than 100% of the low molecular weight non-amphiphilic cations are potassium cations, and wherein the composition has a measured pH of at least about 4.8.

Herbicide compatibility improvement

The present invention relates generally low volatility herbicidal compositions comprising at least one auxin herbicide and at least one monocarboxylic acid, or monocarboxylate thereof. The invention further relates generally to methods for preparing and using such low volatility herbicidal compositions, including methods for controlling auxin-susceptible plant growth on agricultural and non-agricultural lands.

Low volatility herbicidal compositions

Compositions for improving plant health, the compositions comprising at least one water-soluble pesticide and at least one non-herbicidal water-insoluble agrochemical, are described. Also described are processes for preparing the compositions and methods of improving agronomic crop plant health using the compositions.

Plant health compositions comprising a water-soluble pesticide and a water-insoluble agrochemical

An herbicidal composition comprising (a) glyphosate or a derivative thereof, (b) an amidoalkylamine surfactants having the general structure: wherein Ris a hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms, and R, R, and Rare each independently hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atom to about 6 carbon atoms; and (c) at least one co-surfactant.

Glyphosate formulations containing amidoalkylamine surfactants

Low volatility dicamba herbicide formulations are described. In some embodiments, concentrate formulations comprising dicamba monoethanolamine salt, dicamba potassium salt, or mixed dicamba salts are provided. In other embodiments, a dicamba salt is combined with a polybasic polymer.

Low volatility auxin herbicide formulations

Herbicidal mixtures comprising an auxin herbicide and an adjuvant comprising a salt having a quaternary ammonium cation and/or a phosphonium cation are described. The adjuvant reduces the volatility of the auxin herbicide and/or counteracts the negative impact on the volatility of the auxin herbicide caused by the addition of a co-herbicide. Methods of preparing the herbicidal mixtures are also described.

Auxin herbicidal mixtures

Improved aqueous herbicidal compositions comprising at least one water-soluble herbicide and a gel forming agent are provided. The compositions are generally characterized as pseudoplastic, elastic and having a relatively high stationary viscosity. The compositions provide enhanced foliar retention and resistance to drying thereby allowing for improved uptake of the herbicide into the plants and/or translocation within the plant in order to more effectively kill the plants at reduced application rates in kilograms of herbicide per hectare, even in the absence of a surfactant. Methods for confined application of the compositions of the invention to control the growth of unwanted plants are also provided.

Agrochemical gel compositions

A herbicidal composition is provided comprising an aqueous solution of N-phosphonomethylglycine, predominantly in the form of the potassium salt thereof, at a concentration of at least 300 g a.e./l of the composition; and a surfactant component in solution or stable suspension, emulsion, or dispersion in the water, comprising one or more surfactants in a total amount of about 20 to about 300 g/l of the composition, wherein the composition has a viscosity of less than about 250 centipoise at 0&#xb0; C. or a Gardner color value less than 10.

Surfactants and formulations

Amine salts of certain herbicides that in free acid form include at least one carboxylic acid moiety are described. Herbicide salts comprising the cation of various imidazole, piperazine, piperidine, and morpholine compounds are provided. The herbicide amine salts described are suitable for formulation into herbicidal application mixtures and/or stable concentration compositions that exhibit acceptable volatility characteristics upon application.
