Abstract: The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising A) one or more sulfonylureas of the formula (I) and/or their salts in which R1 is C2-C4-alkoxy or CO—Ra, where Ra is OH, C1-C6-alkoxy or NRbRc, where Rb and Rc independently of one another are identical or different and are H or C1-C6-alkyl, R2 is halogen or (A)n—NRdRe, where n is zero or 1, A is a group CRfRg, where Rf and Rg independently of one another are identical or different and are H or C1-C6-alkyl, Rd is H or C1-C6-alkyl and Re is H, C1-C6-alkyl or an acyl radical, where Rd and Re may also form a heterocyclic ring and where, if R1 is C2-C4-alkoxy, R2 may also be H, R3 is H or C1-C6-alkyl, m is zero or 1, X and Y independently of one another are identical or different and are C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy or C1-C6-alkylthio, where each of the three radicals mentioned is unsubstituted or substituted by one or more radicals selected from the group consisting of halogen, C1-C4-alkoxy and C1-C4-alkylthio,

Abstract: The invention relates to surfactant systems for liquid aqueous or aqueous-organic formulations comprising a mixture of one or more basic cosurfactants and one or more surfactants from the group of the acidic phosphoric esters. The surfactant system makes possible the preparation of stable liquid formulations for active compounds, the formulations comprising (a) one or more water-soluble active compounds (type (a)) and (b) optionally one or more water-insoluble active compounds (type (b)), (c) optionally organic solvents, (d) the abovementioned surfactant system and water. The formulations are either single-phase aqueous or aqueous-organic formulations of type-(a) active compounds, for example glufosinate-ammonium or glyphosate(salts), or they are microemulsions of type-(a) and type-(b) active compounds, for example diphenyl ether herbicides.
