The present disclosure describes a composition including a sulfopolymer, and one or more agrochemicals. The composition exhibits increased rainfastness as compared to the same composition without the sulfopolymer. The present disclosure also describes methods of making and using such emulsion formulations in agriculture.

Compositions with supramolecular structures for agricultural use include a pesticide, a supramolecular host chemical or a supramolecular guest chemical configured to engage in host-guest chemistry with the pesticide, and a solvent, and methods of preparing the same, are included. Methods of controlling weeds at a crop site include applying an agriculturally effective amount of the composition to the crop site are also included.

A deposition aid is provided, comprising a low molecular weight, low viscosity polysiloxane, combined with a crop oil concentrate or esterified seed oil concentrate. Combinations including the modified silicone can improve spreading and/or adhesion to foliage. Adding about 5%to about 20%of the modified silicone can provide more than a proportional increase in spreading and/or adhesion.

The present invention provides a spreading agent for agrochemicals having excellent spreadability particularly against surfaces of plant leaves. The present invention also provides an agrochemical spray solution comprising the spreading agent for agrochemicals, and that shows excellent storage stability (particularly viscosity stability) even during long storage. The present invention relates to a spreading agent for agrochemicals that comprises an ethylene-modified vinyl alcohol polymer (A) having an ethylene unit content of 1.0 mol % to 19 mol %, a 1,2-glycol linkage unit content of 1.2 mol % to 2.0 mol %, a viscosity-average degree of polymerization of 200 to 5,000, and a degree of saponification of 80 mol % to 99.9 mol %.
