Herbicidal formulation in the form of microemulsion, which has a greater agronomic efficiency, allows a lower use of active substance with a lower environmental impact, the active substance being in its acid form and not being it necessary to chemically modify it for being solubilized in the water of the application broth, having synergies of effectiveness in tank mixtures with other active ingredients. The active substance comprises Glyphosate, Imazapir, Imazapic, Picloram, and mixtures of active substances consisting of Glyphosate and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, Glyphosate and Dicamba, and Picloram and 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid, said active ingredients being dissolved in an adjuvant having a characteristic design generated by a particular combination of surfactants and solvents. Tank mixtures of products formulated with the design adjuvant for the active ingredients Imazapir and Imazapic on the one hand, and Picloram and 2,4-D on the other hand, are also included within the scope of the invention.

The invention provides a soluble liquid herbicide formulation comprising 2, 4-D, in the form of two amine salts, an effective amount of an alkoxylate surfactant and an effective amount of ethylene glycol. The formulations of the invention are crystallisation tolerant at low temperatures.
