Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of forming a sprayable pesticide or herbicide formulation having improved spray drift properties comprising the steps of, i) providing an aqueous concentrate containing pesticide or herbicide, ii) providing an aqueous concentrate containing pesticidal or herbicidal adjuvant or fertiliser, iii) forming the sprayable pesticide or herbicide formulation by combining water, the pesticide or herbicide and the pesticidal or herbicidal adjuvant or fertiliser, wherein the aqueous concentrate of pesticide or herbicide and the aqueous concentrates of the pesticidal or herbicidal adjuvant or fertiliser both contain one or more polymers capable of enhancing spray drift control. The sprayable formulation may be prepared in a spray tank into which is metered water, the concentrate containing herbicide or pesticide and the concentrate containing the pesticidal or herbicidal adjuvant or fertiliser.

Abstract: A pesticide or herbicide composition that is either a sprayable formulation or an aqueous concentrate which is dilutable to form a sprayable formulation comprising, water containing therein, i) at least one pesticide or herbicide active and ii) a spray drift control agent comprising at least one water-soluble cationic polymer that has been formed from ethylenically unsaturated monomers and iii) at least one cationic surfactant. The composition can be used to treat a crop area or an area of land.

Abstract: An emulsion comprising an organic discontinous phase which is distributed through a continuous aqueous phase, wherein the organic phase comprises a light sensitive active ingredient, and the emulsion is stabilised by a water soluble stabilising material in the aqueous phase, wherein the water-soluble stabilising material is a water-soluble stabilising polymer which has a plurality of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups and is selected from partially hydrolysed polyvinyl acetate and addition copolymers formed from (i) at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid esters and (ii) at least one ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid or ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, and wherein the organic phase further comprises, a) an organic solvent which is a liquid at 25° C. and/or b) an organic phase stabilising material comprises hydrophobic moieties and is a material which is more soluble in the organic phase than the aqueous phase.

Abstract: The invention provides aqueous soil treatment compositions comprising water and dissolved ionic water-soluble fertiliser in an amount of at least 10 wt. % and dissolved water-soluble anionic polymer having IV at least 60 l/g and ionic content at least 40 wt. %. Such concentrates can have low viscosity and be pourable and be used as concentrates for dilution in irrigation processes.

Abstract: A composition (1) comprising water, in solution, a) an inorganic water-soluble compound in an amount of at least 10%, b) an anti-drift agent which is a water soluble anionic polymer of intrinsic viscosity at least 6 dl/g which is formed from water soluble monomer or monomer blend, characterized in that the water-soluble polymer (b) is present in an amount up to 1.9 wt. % based on weight of composition. Said composition (1) can be a liquid fertilizer concentrate that can conveniently be applied through conventional spray distribution equipment without the need for additional dosing of anti-drift control chemicals. Said composition (1) can be a low viscosity liquid anti-drift agent that can be combined with a herbicide or pesticide in conventional spray distribution equipment.
