Composition and a method of using the composition to increase wheat yield
The present invention comprises a novel combination and composition for controlling weeds in wheat. The combination comprises a post-emergence phenoxy herbicide such as Quizalofop-p-ethyl (QPE). The novel composition further includes a broadleaf herbicide. When applied to wheat comprising QPE tolerance, surprisingly, the novel composition appears to provide synergy that results in increased wheat yield over and above the yield expected from wheat intolerant of QPE, untreated wheat, or wheat treated with either QPE or a broadleaf herbicide. Despite the fact that QPE is typically used to kill members of the grass family, the present invention successfully employs the novel combination to increase wheat yield.

HERBICIDE COMPATIBILITY IMPROVEMENT
A herbicidal composition comprises an aqueous solution of a plurality of salts of glyphosate wherein said glyphosate is in anionic form accompanied by low molecular weight non-amphiphilic cations, wherein a major amount but less than 100% of the low molecular weight non-amphiphilic cations are potassium cations, and wherein the composition has a measured pH of at least about 4.8.

AUXIN HERBICIDAL MIXTURES
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.
