SPRAY SPREAD REDUCTION ADJUVANCE

Abstract

The present invention relates to a sprayable agrochemical formulation containing an agrochemical active ingredient and / or nutrient and / or biostimulant, and a method for providing spray spread control while maintaining stability and reducing incompatibilities in the formulation. The invention also includes a method for treating crops with said formulation. The agrochemical formulation includes at least one spray spread reducer, namely polyethylene glycol or polyacrylamide having a molecular weight in the range of from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 Daltons; a compatibilizer selected from ethoxylated polyethylene imine, ethoxylated quaternary alkyl amine, or fatty amine ethoxylate; at least one inorganic mineral solid; and optionally at least one agrochemical active ingredient, nutrient, or biostimulant.The formulation is characterized by the presence of a compatibilizer that reduces the incompatibility between the high molecular weight spray spread reducing agent and the inorganic mineral solids used as rheology modifiers for the end-use tank mix.
