Disclosed are arthropodicidal solutions for application to plants comprising, as an active ingredient, arthropodicidally active mono alpha carboxylic acids, of hydrocarbons having 8 to 20 carbon atoms, and/or monovalent metal salts thereof. The arthropodicidal activity of these fatty acids is potentiated by including in the solution an agent capable of sequestering metal ions such as one or a mixture of chelateing agents, sequestering agents, and surfactants. |
