Abstract: A sprayable agrochemical formulations with agrochemical actives and/or nutrients and/or biostimulants, and a method of providing spray drift control whilst maintaining stability and reducing incompatibility in the formulation. The present invention also includes methods of treating crops with such formulations. Said agrochemical formulation comprising at least one spray drift reductant being a polyethylene glycol or polyacrylamide having molecular weight in the range from 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 Daltons; a compatibiliser selected from ethoxylated polyethylene imine, ethoxylated alkyl amine quaternary, or fatty amine ethoxylates; at least one inorganic mineral solid; and optionally at least one agrochemical active, nutrient, or biostimulant. The formulation is characterised by the presence of the compatibiliser which reduces incompatibilities between high molecular weight spray drift reduction agents and inorganic mineral solids which are used as rheology modifiers for the end use tank mix.
