Claims9
A method to reduce spray drift during the application of an aqueous pesticidal spray mixture which comprises incorporating into the aqueous pesticidal spray mixture from about 0.01 to about 5 percent vol/vol of a microencapsulated oil.
An in-can premix aqueous composition which comprises from about 5 to about 70 weight percent of at least one pesticide and from about 0.05 to about 10 weight percent of a microencapsulated oil suspended in the composition.
