  • Particularly useful auxinic herbicides to which this method applies include clopyralid, triclopyr, 2,4-D, 2,4-DB, MCPA, MCPB, dicamba, aminopyralid, and picloram.
  • the methods described herein are most particularly useful for the application of herbicides that are subject to restricted applications around sensitive crops such as spray mixtures containing glyphosate and 2,4-D, triclopyr or dicamba.
  • Suitable cations contained in the water soluble salt of glyphosate and the water soluble salt of the auxinic herbicide used in the spray mixtures described herein include isopropyl ammonium, dimethyl ammonium, triethyl ammonium, monoethanol ammonium, diethanol ammonium, triethanol ammonium, dimethylethanol ammonium, diethyleneglycol ammonium, triisopropanol ammonium, tetramethyl ammonium, tetraethyl ammonium, and choline.

  • the tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactant, and mixtures thereof can be incorporated into the aqueous herbicidal spray mixture, for example, by being tank-mixed directly with the diluted herbicidal formulation.
  • the tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactant, and mixtures thereof may be incorporated into the aqueous spray mixture at a concentration from about 0.02 to about 2 weight percent of the final spray mixture, preferably from about 0.05 to about 1.0 weight percent of the final spray mixture, and most preferably from about 0.05 to about 0.2 weight percent of the final spray mixture.
  • the optimum spray droplet size depends on the application for which the composition is used. If droplets are too large, there will be less coverage by the spray; i.e, large droplets will land in certain areas while areas in between will receive little or no spray coverage.
  • the maximum acceptable droplet size may depend on the amount of composition being applied per unit area and the need for uniformity in spray coverage. Smaller droplets provide more even coverage, but are more prone to drift during spraying. Thus, application parameters such as uniformity in spray coverage must be balanced against the tendency for smaller droplets to drift. For example, if it is particularly windy during spraying, larger droplets may be needed to reduce drift, whereas on a calmer day smaller droplets may be acceptable.
  • spray droplet size may also depend on the spray apparatus, e.g., nozzle size and configuration.
  • the reduction in spray drift may result from a variety of factors including a reduction in the production of fine spray droplets ( ⁇ 150 ⁇ m minimum diameter) and an increase in the volume median diameter (VMD) of the spray droplets.
  • the median diameter of the plurality of spray droplets created using the compositions and methods described herein is increased above that of a spray composition that does not include the tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactants as described herein.

  • the aqueous concentrate compositions are preferably solutions containing the one or more tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactant, or mixtures thereof, dissolved or dispersed in the formulation containing the auxinic herbicide and glyphosate.
  • the aqueous concentrate compositions contain about 10 to about 40 weight percent of the water soluble glyphosate salt; about 10 to about 40 weight percent of the one or more water soluble auxinic herbicide salts; and about 1 to about 18, about 1 to about 16, about 1 to about 14, about 1 to about 12, about 1 to about 10, about 1 to about 9, about 1 to about 8, about 1 to about 7, about 1 to about 6, about 1 to about 5, about 1 to about 4, about 1 to about 3, about 1 to about 2, or about 1 to about 1.5 weight percent of the one or more tertiary amine or tertiary amine oxide surfactants.

  • Incompatibility in concentrate compositions is minimized by the use of very small amounts of 2,4-D, such as less than about 3 wt % ae (acid equivalent) relative to the total composition.
  • compositions described herein may contain surfactants in addition to the tertiary amine and tertiary amine oxide surfactants mentioned herein.
  • the additional surfactants may be anionic, cationic, or nonionic in character.
