Agricultural concentrates, particularly emulsifiable concentrates, are disclosed. The agricultural concentrates comprise a 3-alkoxy-4-aryl-5-oxopyrazoline compound, an emulsifier, and an adjuvant comprising one or more C6-C14 triglycerides. The adjuvants surprisingly enhance herbicidal efficacy of the oxopyrazoline compound while limiting its decomposition in the concentrates. Water-diluted formulations resist phase separation and control grassy weeds well without harming crops such as winter barley or winter wheat. The triglycerides are an efficacious, non-irritating, sustainable alternative to the phosphate esters now used as pinoxaden adjuvants. |
