611143 Disclosed is a composition comprising from 0.005 to 0.4 % (w/w) of a non-ionic, water-soluble, hydrophobically modified lower alkyl hydroxyalkyl linear polysaccharide ether and from 0.005 to 0.5 % (w/w) of one or more agriculturally active ingredients wherein the hydrophobic group comprises a longchain C10-18 alkyl or alkenyl group, and wherein the hydrophobic group is derived from a reaction of the polysaccharide ether with a glycidyl ether or a chloroglyceryl ether of a C10-18 alcohol that is optionally ethoxylated, a C10-18 alkyl halide or a C12-20 -olefin epoxide, and wherein the lower alkyl group has 1-4 carbon atoms, and the hydroxyalkyl groups are hydroxyethyl and/or hydroxypropyl groups. Further disclosed is a method for improving the deposition on a plant of an aqueous composition comprising from 0.005 to 0.5 % (w/w) of at least one agriculturally active ingredient, said improvement comprising adding to said composition from 0.005 to 0.4 % (w/w) of a non-ionic, water-soluble, hydrophobically modified lower alkyl hydroxyalkyl linear polysaccharide ether, wherein the hydrophobic group comprises a long-chain C10-C18 alkyl or alkenyl group, and wherein the hydrophobic group is derived from a reaction of the polysaccharide ether with a glycidyl ether or a chloroglyceryl ether of a C10 to C18 alcohol that is optionally ethoxylated, a C10 to C18 alkyl halide or a C12 to C20 alpha-olefin epoxide the lower alkyl group has 1-4 carbon atoms, and the hydroxyalkyl groups are hydroxyethyl and/or hydroxypropyl.
