Abstract
An easily handled, flowable, pesticide composition contains as essential components in water as the sole liquid medium, from 10 to 60%, by weight, of at least one solid, substantially water-insoluble pesticidally-active ingredient; from 1 to 10%, by weight, of a water-soluble nonionic surfactant; and from 0.02 to 1% by weight of a heteropolysaccharide gum. Optional ingredients of the composition include, for example, antifoam agents, anticaking agents, and freeze-point depressants. This composition is an extremely stable suspension. It is totally dispersible in water, providing agglomerate-free pesticidal spray compositions.
