Abstract
This invention relates to a herbicidal foam composition comprising, on the basis of the total weight of the composition, (a) a herbicide selected from the group consisting of Bialaphos, Glufosinate, Glyphosate and a mixture thereof, (b) an anionic and/or nonionic surfactant(s), (c) a solvent, (d) a foam controlling agent selected from the group consisting of silicone oil, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.10 alcohol and a mixture thereof, (e) water as a diluent and (f) liquefied petroleum gas as a propellant, the pH of said composition being adjusted to within about 3-11.
Claims8
