Patent Images
1. A composition for treating a plant comprising(a) an exogenous chemical;
- (b) a first adjuvant;
(b) a second adjuvant; and
(c) an aqueous-based diluent,wherein the exogenous chemical is from about 35% to about 45% by weight glyphosate isopropylamine salt;
the first adjuvant comprises at least two fatty acids, at least two fatty-acid esters, hydroacrylic acid, a phospholipid, a phospholipid derivative, a glycol, and a polyoxyethylene; and
the second adjuvant comprises an amine ethoxylate, further wherein the at least two fatty acids and at least two fatty-acid esters have a saturated alkyl or acyl chain from about 8 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms.

Abstract
The present invention relates to exogenous compositions and methods of their use, wherein the exogenous chemicals are applied to one or more surface layers of plants to generate a herbicidal biological response and in particular to a glyphosate-based herbicidal composition for spray application to a plant having superior properties of herbicidal cuticle layer coating and penetration, herbicidal uptake, and herbicidal translocation, without cuticle layer damage.

4. A method of spraying a composition comprising
(a) an exogenous chemical; -
(b) a first adjuvant; (b) a second adjuvant; and (c) an aqueous-based diluent, wherein the exogenous chemical is from about 35% to about 45% by weight glyphosate isopropylamine salt the first adjuvant comprises at least two fatty acids, at least two fatty-acid esters, hydroacrylic acid, a phospholipid, a phospholipid derivative, a glycol, and a polyoxyethylene; and
the second adjuvant comprises an amine ethoxylate, further wherein the at least two fatty acids and at least two fatty-acid esters have a saturated alkyl or acyl chain from about 8 carbon atoms to about 22 carbon atoms, the method of spraying comprising the steps of(a) providing a pressure-based spraying apparatus comprising a container that holds the composition to be sprayed and an orientable spray nozzle in fluid communication with the composition in the container that provides a flow rate and a spray angle of the composition to be sprayed and a dispersion of suitable, sprayed-droplet sizes; (b) placing an amount of the composition into the container; (c) providing pressure to the composition to be sprayed; and (d) producing a sprayed dispersion of suitable droplet sizes of the composition. - View Dependent Claims (5)
