Claims12
A solid herbicidal composition comprising:
- i) mesotrione as the only active ingredient;
- and ii) a base;
- wherein the composition does not comprise an acidifying agent;
- the base is present in the composition in an amount sufficient to provide a pH of from 7.5 to 12 at a dilution factor of 100 in water;
- the base is present in the composition in an amount of from 0.5 to 10% by weight;
- the base is selected from sodium acetate, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium phosphate, potassium hydrogen carbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydrogen phosphate and potassium phosphate;
- and
- the solid herbicidal composition further comprises one or more other components selected from wetting agent, dispersing agent, antifoaming agent and inert filler.
