Abstract

DC60 (07/03/43) A plant treatment mixture for the application of anionic external chemical, such as glyphosate, to plant leaves is prepared. In addition to the external chemical, the mixture contains one or more amine compounds, each with the formula (I) (chemical formula) (I), where R1 is the hydrocarbyl group with 6 to approximately 22 carbon atoms and at least approximately 30% of the total R1 groups have 14 to approximately 22 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 are the free C1-5 hydrocarbyl groups. The amine compounds (several) with the formula (I) are present in the mixture in a molar ratio to the external chemical of approximately 0.01:1 to approximately 0.8:1. The external chemical and the amine compounds (several) with the formula (I) are dissolved or dispersed in an agriculturally acceptable liquid carrier, preferably water. A solid or liquid concentrate of the mixture is also available, which, when dissolved or dispersed in or diluted, With water, a plant treatment mixture of the invention is formed. This plant treatment mixture is useful for the extraction of biological activity, such as herbicide activity in plants. A plant treatment mixture for the application of anionic externally occurring chemicals, such as glyphosate, to plant leaves is prepared. In addition to the externally occurring chemicals, the mixture contains one or more amine compounds, each with the formula (I) (chemical formula) (I), where R1 is a hydrocarbyl group with 6 to approximately 22 carbon atoms and at least approximately 30% of all R1 groups have 14 to approximately 22 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 are free C1-5 hydrocarbyl groups. The amine compounds (several) with the formula (I) are present in the mixture in molar ratios to chemicals. Externally occurring chemical compounds and amine compounds (many types) with the formula (I) are dissolved or dispersed in an agriculturally acceptable liquid carrier, preferably water. This also provides a concentrated solid or liquid mixture which, when dissolved or dispersed in or diluted with water, forms the invented plant treatment mixture. This invented plant treatment mixture is useful for the extraction of biological activity, such as herbicide activity in plants.
