Aqueous pesticide concentrates containing a pesticide (such as an auxinic herbicide), a surfactant, and a naturally or petroleum derived oil and the use of aqueous pesticide spray mixtures incorporating such concentrates are described. The aqueous pesticide concentrates described herein include from 5 to 90 weight percent of a pesticide (such as an auxinic herbicide), from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a surfactant, and from 0.1 to 20 weight percent of a naturally or petroleum derived oil. The aqueous pesticide concentrates are stable oil-in-water emulsions that form a stable emulsion upon dilution into a spray solution.

Pesticide emulsion concentrates containing natural or petroleum derived oils and methods of use

Spray drift during the application of an aqueous mixture of glyphosate and an auxinic herbicide is reduced by incorporating certain tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactants into the aqueous solution or mixture to be sprayed.

Amine and amine oxide surfactants for controlling herbicide spray drift

The present disclosure provides for an agrochemical emulsion with reduced spray drift that includes an emulsion pre-mix concentrate, an acrylate-based copolymer, and an aqueous based agrochemical composition. The agrochemical emulsion includes 0.05 to 5 weight percent (wt %) of the emulsion pre-mix concentrate, 0.05 to 5 wt. % of the acrylate-based copolymer and 90 to 99.9 wt. % of the aqueous based agrochemical composition. The emulsion pre-mix concentrate includes 40 to 70 wt. % of an alkylene glycol ether, 10 to 40 wt. % of a vegetable-oil, and a surfactant, where the wt. % of the surfactant is 0.5 to 2 times the wt. % of the vegetable-oil wt. %, where the wt. % values are based on the total weight of the emulsion pre-mix concentrate and the wt. % of the alkylene glycol ether, the vegetable-oil and the surfactant total 100 wt. % of the emulsion pre-mix concentrate. The acrylate-based copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 0.5 to 1.5 million.

Rheological modifiers for spray drift control in agrochemical emulsions

Methods and compositions for improving the compatibility of aqueous herbicide solutions containing at least one of a water soluble salt of an aryloxyalkanoic acid, a water soluble salt of a pyridyloxyalkanoic acid, and a water soluble salt of glyphosate, and optionally &#x2264;16% of one or more fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, by adding certain polymeric crystallization inhibitors are provided.

Compositions and methods for improving the compatibility of water soluble herbicide salts

The mixture of certain amine salts of glyphosate and 2,4-D allows the preparation of high-strength liquid compositions containing up to greater than 450 gae/L of total active ingredient loading if the pH is adjusted to about 6.0 to about 8.0. Compositions are particularly well-suited for application to crops that are resistant or tolerant to both glyphosate and 2,4-D.

High-strength, herbicidal compositions of glyphosate and 2,4-D salts

Spray drift during the application of agricultural chemicals is reduced by incorporating a self-emulsifiable ester into the liquid to be sprayed.

Controlling spray drift of pesticides with self-emulsifiable esters

Novel high-strength herbicidal oil-in-water emulsions containing a water soluble salt of glyphosate and an oil soluble herbicide active ingredient show enhanced stability to oil phase coalescence and active ingredient crystallization by the use of specific surfactants and water immiscible organic solvents.

Stable high strength oil-in-water emulsions

Embodiments of the invention include stable compositions comprising: an active ingredient, a dispersant, a latex, and water, wherein the active ingredient and the latex in the composition remain substantially separate. Further embodiments include methods of applying the compositions to an area to control undesirable plant growth, fungal pathogens or insects.

High load aqueous suspension concentrate of an active ingredient

Half salts of certain synthetic auxin herbicides are provided. These half salts are useful for controlling unwanted plant growth. The half salts have low solubility in water, low volatility relative to commercial compositions of the corresponding synthetic auxin herbicides, and offer comparable herbicidal performance when compared to existing salts of the synthetic auxin herbicides.

Compositions and methods related to half salts of herbicidal carboxylic acids

Compounds formed by combining a carboxylic acid herbicide with N&#x2014;((C-C) alkyl or arylalkyl) tri((C-C) alkyl)ammonium hydroxide have herbicidal activity on an acid equivalent basis at least as active as the commercially used carboxylic acid herbicide salts, but are less volatile.

Compounds derived from herbicidal carboxylic acids and tetraalkylammonium or (arylalkyl)trialkylammonium hydroxides

The present invention relates to stable, agricultural oil-in-water emulsion compositions.

Stabilized oil-in-water emulsions including agriculturally active ingredients

The mixture of potassium or certain amine salts of glyphosate and dicamba allows the preparation of high-strength liquid compositions containing greater than 300 gae/L of total active ingredient loading if the pH is adjusted between about 6.0 and about 8.0. Compositions are particularly well-suited for herbicidal applications on crops that are resistant or tolerant to both glyphosate and dicamba.
