Abstract
This invention provides a dry pulverulent composition which is comprised of (1) a particulated agrochemical ingredient such as a herbicide; and (2) an inorganic salt ingredient such as sodium, potassium or ammonium bicarbonate or a mixture thereof, which is adsorbed on the surface of the agrochemical particles. The agrochemical ingredient can be a mixture of two or more biologically active organic compounds. The adsorbed inorganic salt ingredient also can be in a blend with a water-soluble or water-dispersible organic polymer ingredient as a film coating, and the coating of ingredients can function as a slow-release medium in the presence of moisture.
Claims5
A dry pulverulent composition which has a combination of ingredients comprising (1) a particulated fungicidal ingredient wherein the average particle size diameter is in the range between about 10-600 microns;
- (2) a fungicidal inorganic salt ingredient selected from the group consisting of alkali metal bicarbonates, ammonium bicarbonate and mixtures thereof, which is adsorbed on the surface of the particulated fungitidal ingredient;
- and (3) a compatibility enhancing ingredient selected from the group consisting of water-soluble organic . compounds which are in solid form at a temperature below about 10.degree. C.
