Stabilized oil-in-water emulsions including agriculturally active ingredients

An oil-in-water emulsion composition having an oil phase present as oily globules having a mean diameter about 200 nanometers or less suspended in a water phase, the oil phase comprising:

• a polymeric modifier being compatible with the oil phase, wherein the polymeric modifier is ethyl cellulose;
• at least one agriculturally active compound;
• at least one non-ionic lipophilic surface-active agent;
• at least one non-ionic hydrophilic surface-active agent;
• and
• at least one ionic surface-active agent;
• wherein the at least one agriculturally active compound exhibits decreased crystallization in the oil phase.
