Pesticide composition and method

摘要

Application-ready pesticide compositions having enhanced pesticidal efficacy and methods for formulating such compositions are described. Pesticide concentrates are diluted with water purified to have a total dissolved solids content of 1 to about 100 ppm. The resulting application-ready pesticide compositions can be formulated at less than label-specified concentrations and/or applied at less than label-specified volume per area rates without loss of pesticidal efficacy. The application-ready compositions can be substantially free of adjuvants, or they can be optimized using polymer or ammonia based adjuvants to improve dosage transfer. Novel aqueous diluents comprising such adjuvants and low TDS water are also described.
