Abstract: Water-dispersible powder formulations used in connection with seed treatment and foliar treatment of plants provide excellent dust and rub-off control. The powder formulations comprise an active ingredient, a wetting agent, a dispersant, an anticaking agent, and an adhesion ingredient selected from the group consisting of a sodium salt of a polyacrylic acid, a sodium salt of maleic acid/acrylic acid copolymer, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, an alkylated polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof. The wetting agent is present in an amount that is effective for enabling the powder formulation to be wettable by cold water. The dispersant is present in an amount that is effective for enabling the powder formulation to be dispersible in cold water. The anticaking agent is present in an amount that is effective for enabling the powder formulation to be re-suspendable in water. The adhesion ingredient is present in an amount that is effective for enabling the powder formulation to adhere to a plant leaf or seed.
