✦ Synopsis
A series of 48 water-dispersible granule (WG) formulations containing 125 g kg~1 of the graminicide Ñuazifop-P-butyl have been designed containing a range of oils, wetters, emulsiÐers, dispersants and salts, by modifying a template WG (YF8122). Granules with satisfactory dispersability and crush strength were obtained, which showed herbicidal activity equal to or better than the commercial 125 g kg~1 EC BIW formulation when tested on Ðve species of graminaceous weeds in greenhouse tests. Di †erences between di †erent constituents were small. The results indicate that it is possible to design WGs with properties which enable them to compete with conventional EC formulations. 1998
