AI Technical Summary
Benzoic acid herbicides in acid form have poor solubility and stability in emulsifiable concentrates, leading to crystal formation and reduced effectiveness due to poor storage stability and volatility, which affects their application and efficacy.
An emulsifiable concentrate composition comprising dicamba in acid form dissolved in an amide solvent with an amine, such as monoethanolamine or methoxypropylamine, and a hydrocarbon co-solvent, which stabilizes the herbicide and forms a stable emulsion upon dilution, reducing volatility and improving application efficiency.
The composition provides enhanced storage stability and effective emulsion formation, reducing volatility and improving the gram-for-gram efficacy of benzoic acid herbicides compared to existing formulations, with lower drift propensity and increased stability during application.
