A formulated composition suitable for combating or preventing pathogen damage in a plant containing (A) at least one solid active ingredient having a water solubility of at most 100 µg / liter at 25 ° C in neutral pH, in an amount of at least 1 % by weight, based on the total weight of the formed composition, (B) at least one non-ionic surfactant having a hydrophilic-lipophilic equilibrium (HLB) between 10 and 18, one or more conventional formulations, and water, wherein active ingredient (A) is suspended or dispersed in water, the weight ratio of surfactant (B) to active ingredient (A) being in the range of 1.5 to 15.0, provided that the minimum amount of surfactant (B) is at least 6% by weight , based on the total weight of the formed composition. Also, a method of improving the levels of pesticide residues in agriculture. |
