| abstract |
The present invention relates to a plant treatment composition comprising (a) an exogenous chemicalnother than glyphosate, salts, adducts or esters thereof or compounds which in plant tissue are convertedninto glyphosate, and (b) an alkylether surfactant or mixture of such surfactants having the formula R 12 -O-(CH 2 CH 2 O) n (CH(CH 3 )CH 2 O) m -R 13 nwherein R 12 is an alkyl or alkenyl group having 16 to 22 carbonnatoms, n is an average number of 20 to 100, m is an average number of 0 to 5, and R 13 is hydrogen or C 1-4 nalkyl, present in an amount such that the weight/weight ratio of said alkylether surfactant or mixture ofnsuch surfactants to the exogenous chemical is 1:3 to 1:100. The invention further relates to methods ofnuse of such compositions on plants to generate a desired biological response. |
