The present invention relates to herbicidal compositions comprising an aminophosphate or aminophosphonate salt, for example to herbicidal compositions comprising an aminophosphate or aminophosphonate potassium salt. Preferred compositions of the invention have a high amount and the aminophosphate or aminophosphonate salt. The invention also relates to compositions of matter (or blend) that are especially useful ingredients for preparing the compositions comprising the aminophosphate or aminophosphonate salt. In particular, these ingredients are a surfactant such as an amine oxide surfactant, and an organic solvent comprising an N-alkylpyrrolidone wherein the alkyl group comprises at least 2 carbon atoms.
