The present invention discloses a process for the preparation of an aqueous pesticide dispersion comprising the steps of: a) dissolving a pesticidal active ingredient in a water miscible organic solvent to obtain a pesticide solution; b) mixing the pesticide solution with water in the presence of surface active agents to form aqueous pesticide dispersion. This invention further discloses a method for controlling pests comprising of diluting the aqueous pesticide dispersion of the present invention in water to obtain diluted aqueous pesticide dispersions and applying an effective amount of said diluted dispersion to a site.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to solvents for agricultural applications and pesticide formulations. In one aspect, a solvent for agricultural applications comprises (a) a first component consisting of a polar solvent wherein the polar solvent is a sulfoxide, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, γ-butyrolactone, or a combination thereof; (b) a second component consisting of a glycol ether, and (c) a third component consisting of an ether ester of Formula 1: ##STR00001##
wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently one of an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms or an aryl group, wherein R.sup.3 is hydrogen, methyl, or ethyl, and wherein n is 1 to 6.
