ADJUVANT COMPOSITION FOR USE IN GLYPHOSATE-CONTAINING HERBICIDE FORMULATIONS, USE OF THE ADJUVANT COMPOSITION, GLYPHOSATE-CONTAINING HERBICIDE FORMULATIONS AND USE OF THE HERBICIDE FORMULATIONS
The present invention relates to a novel adjuvant composition for use in herbicide formulations containing high concentrations of glyphosate salts, as well as herbicide formulations containing a novel adjuvant composition. The adjuvant composition of the present invention comprises one or more urea alkoxylated derivatives and can also contain further surfactants. The novel adjuvant composition described in the present invention can be incorporated in herbicide formulations which contain glyphosate salts, such as MIPA, potassium, MEA, TEA or mixtures thereof. These herbicide formulations may also contain additional herbicides in their composition. These glyphosate containing herbicide formulations can be used in liquid sprays for controlling weeds. In addition to being compatible with various glyphosate salts at different concentrations, the adjuvant composition of the present invention has shown to be capable of improving stability and agronomic effectiveness of these formulations.
