1. A spray liquor produced by diluting a concentrate formulation with water, the concentrate formulation comprising:
a) at least one sulfated polyalkylene glycol having the structural formula:
(HO—(CH2—CH2—O—)n(CH2—CH(CH3)—O)m—CH2—CH2—O—SO2—O)qMq+,
in which
n and m are independently in the range of 2 to 40,
q is 1 or 2, and
M is mono- or divalent cation,
wherein the at least one component a) is present in an amount from 2% to 90% by weight, based on the total weight of the concentrate formulation;
b) water; and
c) at least one electrolyte dissociated into ions selected from the group consisting of water-soluble salts of glyphosate and water-soluble salts of glufosinate,
wherein the spray liquor contains at least 0.25 g/L of the at least one sulfated polyalkylene glycol.
