Herbicidal mixtures comprising an auxin herbicide and an adjuvant comprising a salt having a quaternary ammonium cation and/or a phosphonium cation are described. The adjuvant reduces the volatility of the auxin herbicide and/or counteracts the negative impact on the volatility of the auxin herbicide caused by the addition of a co-herbicide. Methods of preparing the herbicidal mixtures are also described.
