Herbicide preparation, a process for producing it and an activating additive for application therewith
First Claim
1. A concentrated herbicide suspension composition comprising:
- 5-58% by weight of a t least one herbicide, said herbicide being in particulate form suspended in a liquid aqueous phase and comprising at least one amino group, at least one carboxylic acid group and at least one phosphor containing acid group, and at least 5% by weight of an electrolyte, which is dissolved in the liquid, aqueous phase and which is not a surfactant, and 1-5% by weight of one or more surfactants being emulsified, suspended and/or dissolved in the liquid, aqueous electrolyte solution.

Abstract
Stable, concentrated herbicide preparation comprising at least one herbicide with at least one amino group, at least one carboxylic acid group and at least one phosphor containing acid group suspended in finegrained form in a liquid phase, and at least 5% a by weight of a dissolved electrolyte; a process for producing said herbicide preparation and an activating additive (adjuvant) for combination with said herbicide preparation. Preferred suspensions comprise the herbicides glyphosate and glufosinate and the electrolyte ammonium sulphate, acting synergistically. It has not hitherto been possible to incorporate high concentrations of synergistic electrolytes in liquid concentrates of said herbicides.

(a) producing a concentrated herbicide solution comprising a herbicide in the form of a salt and water, (b) adding to said concentrated herbicide solution an acid or a base thereby resulting in precipitation of the herbicide in its completely or partly free acid form and formation of an electrolyte solution, which solution comprises the salt initially formed with the herbicide and the acid or base added.

25. An activating additive (adjuvant) in concentrated form for admixture with compositions containing glyphosate- and/or glufosinate for combating weeds, said additive comprising at least one surfactant in an amount of 4-58% by weight being emulsified, suspended and/or dissolved in a liquid, aqueous phase, and at least one undissolved, fine-grained, not biologically active, viscosity regulating filler, said filler acting to prevent the separation of the surfactant and being present in an amount of at least 0.3% by weight, characterized by comprising an electrolyte, which is dissolved in the liquid, aqueous phase and, which is not a surfactant, in an amount of at least 5% by weight.
