The invention relates to the use of compositions which contain A) one or more copolymers, said copolymers containing one or more structural units resulting from a) 19.9 to 75.9 wt.-% of glycerin, b) 0.1 to 30 wt.-% of at least one dicarboxylic acid, and c) 24 to 80 wt.-% of at least one monocarboxylic acid according to formula (I): R&#x2014;COOH, wherein Ris (C-C) alkyl; (C-C) alkenyl; phenyl or naphthyl, and B) water for reducing drift during the application of a spray emulsion that contains one or more pesticides.

Use of aqueous drift-reducing compositions

Alkyl ether sulfates having 1 to 9 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain and 1 to 20 alkyleneoxy units in the ether moiety are suitable for use as low-foam additives for enhancing the activity of water-soluble or partially water-soluble agrochemicals. They can be used to produce low-foam preparations for crop protection.
