EPOXIDIZED OIL-BASED SURFACTANT AND COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING THE SAME
An epoxidized oil-based surfactant is the reaction product of an epoxidized compound and a primary and/or secondary alkanolamine, wherein the epoxidized compound is chosen from an epoxidized oil, an epoxidized fatty acid, an epoxidized fatty acid ester, and combinations thereof. An herbicidal composition includes glyphosate or a salt thereof and at least one epoxidized oil-based surfactant. The herbicidal composition is used in a method of controlling unwanted vegetation wherein the method includes the step of applying to the unwanted vegetation a herbicidally effective amount of the aforementioned herbicidal composition. The epoxidized oil-based surfactant is prepared using a method that includes reacting the epoxidized compound and the primary and/or secondary alkanolamine. The epoxidized oil-based surfactant is also utilized in a cleaning composition for the cleaning of hard surfaces, wherein the cleaning composition includes the epoxidized oil-based surfactant and an additional component chosen from an additional surfactant and/or a chelating agent.

CEREAL BASED ADJUVANT FOR AGROCHEMICAL PERFORMANCE
The present invention is an adjuvant for use as an isolate suspension that is used to enhance various agrochemicals such as fertilizers, plant growth formulae, fungicides, insecticides, and herbicides. The adjuvant is derived from a cereal or legume and enhances active ingredients in the agrochemical by creating more absorption surface area per droplet, and increases optimum chemical penetration into the leaf stoma due to the complex protein relationship upon deposition.

METHODS OF CROP RESIDUAL MANAGEMENT WITH MICROALGAE COMPOSITIONS
The present disclosure provides methods of decreasing a crop residue of a plant, enhancing the availability of a nutrient in a crop residue of a plant, increasing soil organic matter (SOM) with a crop residue of a plant, and reducing erosion with a crop residue of a plant by applying a composition comprising a culture of microalgae to the crop residue.

Drift reduction adjuvant compositions and methods of using same
Drift reduction adjuvant composition and agricultural sprays containing such agricultural compositions contain water, a Newtonian responding polymer such as guar gum, an emulsifier such as a polyoxyethylene sorbitan emulsifier, and an oil. When the agricultural spray containing the drift reduction adjuvant composition and a pesticide is delivered from an agricultural nozzle, it produces fewer droplets less than 150 μm in diameter and either reduces, maintains or increases (e.g., by up to 30 percentage points) the number of ultra-coarse droplets above 622 μm in diameter compared to an agricultural spray of the pesticide without the drift reduction adjuvant composition sprayed under the same conditions.
