Abstract

The use of formulations comprising
(A) one or more aminocarboxylates, selected from among methylglycine diacetate (MGDA) and its alkali metal salts, glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA) and its alkali metal salts, iminodisuccinate, hydroxyethylimine diacetate and ethyleneiminodisuccinate and the corresponding alkali metal salts, (B) at least one organic compound selected from among organic phosphates, organic phosphonates and organic phosphites and salts of the abovementioned organic compounds, and (C) optionally water,

for application to plants or the ground.

First claim

We claim:

1. A formulation, comprising:
(A) at least one aminocarboxylate selected from the group consisting of an alkali metal salt of MGDA and an alkali metal salt of GLDA;
(B) at least one organic compound selected from the group consisting of glyphosate and glyphosate monoisopropylammonium salt; and
(C) optionally water.

2. The formulation according to claim 1 , further comprising a polyaminocarboxylate.

3. The formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the aminocarboxylate (A) is an alkali metal salt of MGDA.

4. The formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the aminocarboxylate (A) is an alkali metal salt of GLDA.

5. The formulation according to claim 1 , wherein a solids content weight ratio of the aminocarboxylate (A) to the organic compound (B) is in a range of 1.97:1 to 6.00:1.

6. The formulation according to claim 1 , wherein a solids content weight ratio of the aminocarboxylate (A) to the organic compound (B) is in a range of 1.97:1 to 2.32:1.

7. The formulation according to claim 5 , further comprising an ethoxylated tallow fatty amine.

8. The formulation according to claim 5 , wherein application of the formulation to soil results in less mineralization of the glyphosate than does application of a formulation comprising the same amount of glyphosate but comprising ammonium sulfate instead of the aminocarboxylate.

9. A method, comprising:
applying the formulation of claim 1 to a plant or the ground.

10. The method according to claim 9 ,
wherein the formulation further comprises a wetter.

11. The method according to claim 9 ,
wherein the formulation comprises water.

12. A method of growing a plant, the method comprising:
treating a ground or the plant at least once with the formulation according to claim 1 before the plant is harvested.

13. A method, comprising:
storing, transporting, or both storing and transporting glyphosate and/or glyphosate monoisopropylammonium salt in form of the formulation according to claim 1 .
