An agricultural chemical composition comprises a solvent having the general formula CO(OR)(R), wherein Ris a linear or branched alkyl group of one to eight carbon atoms and Ris an aromatic group. Active agricultural components are dissolved in the solvent to produce a solution usable for distributing the active components.

Low toxicity, low odor, low volatility solvent for agricultural chemical formulations

New stabilizers for solutions of choline hydroxide and related quaternary trialkylalkanolamines are disclosed. The stabilizers are alkyl hydroxylamines, hydrazines, hydrazides, or derivates thereof, including compounds containing more than one such functionality. The new stabilizers are effective at concentrations less than about 1000 ppm, and choline hydroxide solutions stabilized with the compounds described herein typically have Gardner Color change less than about 2.0 after six months at reasonable temperatures.
