Herbicidal concentrate compositions containing glyphosate salts and tank mix compositions containing a combination of glyphosate salt and dicamba salt herbicides are described. A method of preparing a tank mix composition comprising a glyphosate component and a dicamba component is also described. The method includes combining a glyphosate concentrate composition, a dicamba composition comprising one or more salts of dicamba and dilution water to form the tank mix composition. The glyphosate concentrate composition comprises a glyphosate salt selected from the group consisting of the monoethanolamine salt, the potassium salt, and mixtures thereof at a glyphosate loading of at least about 240 grams acid equivalent per liter (g a.e./l), and the pH of a 5 wt. % acid equivalent dilution of the glyphosate concentrate composition is from about 5 to about 6.5.

Glyphosate composition for dicamba tank mixtures with improved volatility

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

The present invention relates to various pesticidal compositions including non-water-continuous herbicidal dispersion compositions and processes for preparing these compositions. The present invention further relates to herbicidal application mixtures including water continuous dispersion compositions, processes for preparing these application mixtures, and various methods of use. Further, the present invention relates to various herbicidal compositions having improved application properties.

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

Herbicidal microcapsules containing a combination of herbicides are described. In particular, the herbicidal microcapsules include a core material comprising an acetamide herbicide and a second herbicide and a shell wall encapsulating the core material. Also described are processes for preparing the microcapsules, various herbicidal compositions containing the microcapsules, and methods of preparing and using the herbicidal compositions.

Microencapsulated herbicides

An herbicidal composition comprising (a) glyphosate or a derivative thereof, (b) an amidoalkylamine surfactant of formula (1): wherein Ris a hydrocarbyl having from about 1 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms, Rand Rare each independently hydrocarbyl or substituted hydrocarbyl having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and Ris hydrocarbylene or substituted hydrocarbylene having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and (c) a co-surfactant component comprising at least one co-surfactant selected from, for example, alkoxylated tertiary amine oxides, amidoamine alkoxylates, and betaines.

Glyphosate formulations containing amidoalkylamine surfactants

Non-water-continuous pesticidal microemulsions are described as well as methods of preparing these microemulsions and methods of using these microemulsions to prepare pesticidal application mixtures that are oil-in-water (O/W) macroemulsions. Herbicidal concentrate compositions having a high loading of an auxin herbicide are also described along with methods of preparing these concentrate compositions, and methods of using these concentrate compositions in preparing certain non-water-continuous herbicidal microemulsion compositions. Further, various herbicidal compositions having improved chemical stability and extended residual weed control are described.

Pesticidal compositions

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.
