Claims40
A microemulsion-forming-concentrate comprising herbicide compound in acid form and surfactant, wherein the concentrate can be combined with water to form a microemulsion.
A microemulsion comprising herbicide compound in acid form, surfactant, and water.
A microemulsion comprising a microemulsion-forming-concentrate comprising herbicide compound in acid form, surfactant, and water.
A method of applying a herbicide composition, the method comprising:
- preparing a herbicide composition comprising a microemulsion, the microemulsion comprising herbicide compound in acid form,
- applying the herbicide composition to a plant to control plant growth.
A method of applying a herbicide, the method comprising:
- preparing a microemulsion-forming-concentrate comprising herbicide compound in acid form and surfactant,
- preparing a microemulsion from the microemulsion-forming-concentrate by diluting the microemulsion with an aqueous solution, the microemulsion comprising herbicide compound in acid form.
A method of preparing a microemulsion-forming-concentrate, the method comprising combining herbicide compound in acid form with surfactant, with optional heat and optional agitation, to produce a microemulsion-forming-concentrate that can be combined with water to form a microemulsion.
A method of preparing a microemulsion, the method comprising:
- preparing a microemulsion-forming-concentrate by a method comprising combining herbicide compound in acid form with surfactant to produce a microemulsion-forming-concentrate that can be combined with water to form a microemulsion, and
- combining the microemulsion-forming-concentrate with water to form a microemulsion.
