Method for improving the resistance of plant protection agents to rain

Abstract

A process for decreasing the amount of an agricultural chemical composition deposited on the surface of a plant that is removed by exposure to rain comprising adding to the agricultural chemical composition from 0.5% to 5% by weight of a compound of formula (I): RO—(C2H4O)n(C3H6O)m—R′  (I) wherein RO is an alcohol residue selected from the group consisting of a branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated monohydric alcohol having 1 to 6 carbon atoms or a polyol having from 2 to 12 carbon atoms and from 2 to 6 hydroxyl groups; R′ is hydrogen or —CO—R″, wherein R″ is a branched or linear, saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having from 5 to 29 carbon atoms; n is a number from 1 to 50 and m is 0 or a number from 1 to 20.
