Pesticide compositions including polymeric adjuvants

Abstract

Pesticidal composition of improved effectiveness is provided, including a pesticide (e.g., an insecticide or herbicide) together with a copolymer adjuvant or additive selected from the group consisting of acid or salt copolymers containing individual quantities of maleic and itaconic moieties. The composition of the invention provides multiple-fold increases in effectiveness, as compared with an equal amount of the pesticide in the absence of the copolymer.
