Abstract
An environmentally compatible, selective herbicidal composition is provided that includes an activator adjuvant for enhancing the efficacy of the composition. While the activator adjuvant can be used in combination with a variety of herbicides, in an exemplary embodiment the herbicidal composition includes a metal chelate that is formed from a transition metal component and at least one chelating agent. The activator adjuvant can enhance, even synergistically effect the efficacy of the composition, while maintaining the selectivity of the herbicide.
