Abstract:
A herbicide composition that comprises:a. a herbicidally effective amount of a herbicidal active ingredient; and b. a sufficient amount of a surfactant component that enhances the effectiveness of the herbicidal active ingredient, wherein the surfactant component comprises either alkoxylated polyether diamines (I), esterified alkoxylated polyether diamines (IIa) or (IIb) , or mixtures thereof, with the following general structure: where R1, R2, R3, and R4 are each independently hydrogen, CH3, or CH2CH3; a, b, and c each vary from zero to about forty, subject to the proviso that at least one of a, b, or c is not zero; R5 and R6 are each independently a straight or branched chain alkenyl group with from about two to about six carbon atoms; d, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k each vary from zero to about twenty-two, subject to the proviso that at least one of d, e, f, g, h, i, j, and k is not zero; each R7 is independently either a hydrogen or has the following general structure: where each R8 is independently a linear or branched alkyl or alkenyl with less than about twenty-two carbon atoms; and, R9 is a bridging alkyl or alkenyl with less than about twenty-two carbon atoms.
