Reducing fines from an agricultural spray dispensed from a nozzle is provided in the disclosed methods. The agricultural spray comprises water, an agricultural composition such as a pesticide, at least one oil emulsion drift reduction adjuvant, and at least one spontaneous emulsion drift reduction adjuvant. The agricultural spray exhibits fewer fine droplets having a diameter less than about 105 μm, about 150 μm, and/or about 210 μm compared to an agricultural spray neither or only one of the oil emulsion drift reduction adjuvant and the spontaneous emulsion drift reduction adjuvant.

The present invention provides methods of reducing injury to rice and achieving weed control by treating the rice with both a safener and a microencapsulated Group 15 herbicide. Herein, the inventors demonstrate that the tolerance of fenclorim-safened rice to the Group 15 herbicide acetochlor is substantially enhanced when this herbicide is applied as a microencapsulated formulation, particularly when it is applied preemergence or delayed preemergence. Rice plants produced by these methods and seeds produced by said rice plants are also provided.

The present invention generally relates to herbicidal compositions such as aqueous herbicidal concentrate compositions and application mixtures. For example, the present invention relates to aqueous herbicidal concentrate compositions comprising an encapsulated acetamide herbicide and a second, unencapsulated herbicide. The present invention also relates to various processes for preparing and using these herbicidal compositions. The present invention further relates to herbicidal concentrate compositions having a high loading of an auxin herbicide and methods of preparing these concentrate compositions.
