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.
