Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention is directed to an agricultural composition comprising at least one agricultural chemical and at least one cellulose ether, wherein the cellulose ether is a nonionic methylethylhydroxyethyl cellulose (MEHEC) polymer. The present invention is also directed to a method for reducing spray drift during the spraying of an aqueous solution. The method comprises: providing a nonionic MEHEC polymer; combining the MEHEC polymer with at least one agricultural chemical to obtain the aqueous solution; and spraying the aqueous solution. Further, the present invention is also directed to a method for increasing resistance to rain wash off of an aqueous solution sprayed onto a surface. The method comprises: providing a nonionic MEHEC polymer; combining the MEHEC polymer with at least one agricultural chemical to obtain the aqueous solution; and spraying the aqueous solution onto the surface.
