A stable aqueous composition comprising from about 0.5% to about 2% w/w epyrifenacil, from about 10% to about 12% w/w mesotrione, and from about 4% to about 6% w/w pyroxasulfone, a xanthan gum having a bulk density of 750 to 850 kg/m3, and a surfactant consisting of an acrylic graft copolymer and an alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package, wherein the surfactant is at a concentration of from about 9% to about 12% w/w and has a weight ratio of the acrylic graft copolymer to the alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package of from 10:1 to 2:1 or from 1:3.5 to 1:4.5 and wherein the acrylic graft copolymer is a hydrophilic methyl methacrylate graft copolymer and wherein w/w denotes weight by total weight of the composition.
A stable aqueous composition comprising from about 0.5% to about 2% w/w epyrifenacil, from about 10% to about 12% w/w mesotrione, and from about 4% to about 6% w/w pyroxasulfone, one or more solvents, one or more surfactants consisting of an acrylic graft copolymer and an alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package and a xanthan gum having a bulk density of 750 to 850 kg/m3, wherein the one or more surfactants is at a concentration of from about 9% to about 12% w/w and has a weight ratio of the acrylic graft copolymer to the alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package of from 10:1 to 2:1 or from 1:3.5 to 1:4.5 and wherein the acrylic graft copolymer is a hydrophilic methyl methacrylate graft copolymer and wherein w/w denotes weight by total weight of the composition.
A stable aqueous composition comprising from about 0.5% to about 2% w/w epyrifenacil, from about 10% to about 12% w/w mesotrione, and from about 4% to about 6% w/w pyroxasulfone, an alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package, an acrylic graft copolymer, heavy aromatic naphtha, a poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) block copolymer having an average molecular weight of 3650 and a hydrophile weight percentage of 20%, a xanthan gum having a bulk density of 750 to 850 kg/m3 and water, wherein the acrylic graft copolymer to the alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package are at a total concentration of from about 9% to about 12% w/w and have a weight ratio of the acrylic graft copolymer to the alkylphenol ethoxylate free nonionic wetter and dispersant package of from 10:1 to 2:1 or from 1:3.5 to 1:4.5 and wherein the acrylic graft copolymer is a hydrophilic methyl methacrylate graft copolymer and wherein w/w denotes weight by total weight of the composition.
