SYSTEM OF COMPACT STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION OF GLYPHOSATE HERBICIDES

摘要

A system is proposed for storing and transporting a glyphosate herbicide containing a container having a capacity of from about 0.1 to about 100,000 liters or more, essentially filled with an aqueous solution of glyphosate, mainly in the form of a salt of its potassium and monoethanol ammonium salts or in the form of a mixture of them said solution has an acid equivalent concentration of glyphosate of about 30% by weight. The system according to the invention due to the high relative density of the salt of glyphosate contains a greater weight of glyphosate than a system comprising a similar container, essentially filled with an aqueous solution of the glyphosate isopropylammonium salt with the same weight concentration. Alternatively, the container of the storage and transportation system may be smaller than the container containing the same weight of glyphosate as an isopropylammonium salt. In addition, a larger number of such reduced containers can be transported in a closed volume, thus ensuring that more glyphosate is transported in one shipment. The international application was published along with an international search report.
