Abstract

Comparative data were generated on lignosulfonates, dry blends, and co-processed blends of ANSCs plus lignosulfonates in a series of pesticide formulations. There was an unexpected improvement in the performance of certain formulations when the co-processed blends were compared to the dry blends of the dispersants.
