International Classification:

A01N057/00

US Classification:

504/127000

Abstract:

A process for preparing a dry pesticidal composition including a glyphosate component comprising a water-soluble salt of glyphosate acid, a dicarboxylate component and optionally an adjuvant component. According to the process of the present invention, a glyphosate component is combined with a dicarboxylate component and optionally an adjuvant component to form an enhanced pesticidal composition. The glyphosate component and/or the dicarboxylate component may be combined in their salt form or either or both may be combined in acid form and reacted in the mixture with a base component to form the corresponding salt.
