Claims17
A formulation for a pesticide, comprising:
- at least one surfactant of Formula I,
- wherein R′ and R2 may be the same or different, and may be selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-C6 alkyl, wherein the C1-C6 alkyl may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, amino, amido, sulfonyl, sulfonate, carbonyl, carboxyl, and carboxylate;
- n is 5;
- m is 11;
- the terminal nitrogen is optionally further substituted with R3, wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, hydroxyl, and C1-C6 alkyl, wherein the C1-C6 alkyl may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, amino, amido, sulfonyl, sulfonate, carbonyl, carboxyl, and carboxylate;
- an optional counterion associated with the compound which, if present, is hydroxide;
- and
- a pesticide.

- an optional counterion associated with the compound which, if present, is hydroxide;
- and
- a fungicide.

- n is 5;
- m is 11;
- the terminal nitrogen is optionally further substituted with R3, wherein R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, oxygen, hydroxyl, and C1-C6 alkyl, wherein the C1-C6 alkyl may optionally be substituted with one or more substituents selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, amino, amido, sulfonyl, sulfonate, carbonyl, carboxyl, and carboxylate;
- an optional counterion associated with the compound which, if present, is hydroxide;
- and
- an herbicide.
