Claim:
A herbicide composition that comprises: a. a herbicidally effective amount of a herbicidal active ingredient; and b. a surfactant component comprising an amine-based surfactant and a sulfosuccinate or sulfosuccinamate-based surfactant, wherein the surfactant component is present in an amount sufficient to enhance the effectiveness of the herbicidal active ingredient, and wherein the sulfosuccinate-based surfactant comprises a sulfosuccinate with the following general structure: a mixture of (a) and (b); where R 1 is hydrogen, or a straight or branched chain, unsaturated or saturated alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl group with from zero to about thirty carbon atoms; R 2 is an alkylene group with from about two to about six carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof; R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 are each independently hydrogen, or a straight or branched chain, unsaturated or saturated alkyl or alkyloxy group with from zero to about twenty-five carbon atoms; and, x is the same or different and may vary from zero to about sixty, and wherein the sulfosuccinamate-based surfactant comprises a sulfosuccinamate with following general structure: a mixture of (a) and (b); where R 1 is a straight or branched chain, unsaturated or saturated alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl group or mixtures thereof with from about one to about thirty carbon atoms; R 2 is either an alkylene group with from about two to about six carbon atoms, or a saturated or unsaturated alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl group with from about one to about thirty carbon atoms; R 3 , R 4 , and R 5 are each independently hydrogen, or a straight or branched chain, unsaturated or saturated alkyl or alkyloxy group with from zero to about twenty-five carbon atoms; and, x is the is the same or different and may vary from zero to about sixty.
