Abstract: Aerial spray or discharge drift is controlled in aqueous compositions via the use of selected non-visco-elastic amounts of guar, one or more derivatives of guar, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Aerial spray or discharge drift is reduced, deposition improved and bioefficacy enhanced in aqueous compositions via the use of selected non-visco-elastic amounts of guar, one or more derivatives of guar or combinations thereof.

Abstract: Stable, concentrated nonaqueous suspensions of water-soluble solids are prepared by using water-miscible organic liquid carriers, preferably lower alkadiols in conjunction with a specific three component surfactant system, i.e., a system comprising a nonionic polymeric viscosity improver surfactant; an anionic surfactant; and a nonionic surfactant having a bulky hydrophobic substituent group.
