Abstract
Agricultural compositions having reduced aquatic toxicity are disclosed. The compositions comprise an agricultural active, a monounsaturated C-Cfatty amine ethoxylate, and optionally water. The compositions may further comprise an auxiliary surfactant, a solvent, or both. In certain preferred aspects, the agricultural active is a glyphosate salt. Agricultural compositions comprising a monounsaturated C-Cfatty amine ethoxylate have good herbicidal efficacy. Unexpectedly, the monounsaturated C-Cfatty amine ethoxylates have reduced aquatic toxicity when compared with their saturated analogs.
