Abstract:
A method of maximizing storage efficiency for glyphosate herbicide comprising the steps of(1) selecting an aqueous solution of monobasic potassium or monoethanolammonium salt of glyphosate having a viscosity less than a similarly formulated composition of the IPA salt of glyphosate, and having a specific gravity greater than a similarly formulated composition of the IPA salt of glyphosate; (2) adjusting said solution if necessary with water and/or other ingredients to form an adjusted solution having a glyphosate acid equivalent concentration between about 40 percent by weight and a maximum percentage by weight dictated by the solubility of said salt; (3) substantially filling a container having a capacity of about 0.1 to about 100,000 liters or more with said adjusted solution; and (4) placing said container after filling in a suitable storage location.
