A storage and shipping system for glyphosate herbicide is provided, comprising a container having a capacity of about 0.1 to about 100,000 liters or more, substantially filled with an aqueous solution of glyphosate, predominantly in the form of one or a mixture of the potassium and monoethanolammonium salts thereof, the solution having a glyphosate acid equivalent concentration of at least about 30 percent by weight. The storage and shipping system, by virtue of the relatively high specific gravity of the glyphosate salt solution, holds a greater weight of glyphosate than a system comprising an identical container substantially filled with an aqueous solution of the isopropylammonium salt of glyphosate at the same glyphosate concentration by weight. Alternatively, the container of the storage and shipping system can be smaller than that of a container holding the same weight of glyphosate in the form of the isopropylammonium salt. Further, a larger number of such smaller containers can be shipped in a given enclosed volume, thereby enabling the shipment of a larger weight of glyphosate in a single consignment.

La présente invention concerne un système de stockage et d'expédition pour herbicide glyphosate comprenant un récipient d'une capacité d'environ 0,1 litre à 100 000 litres ou plus, pratiquement rempli d'une solution aqueuse de glyphosate, principalement sous la forme de son sel ou de potassium ou de monoéthanolammonium ou sous la forme d'un mélange de ces deux sels, la solution de glyphosate ayant une concentration d'équivalent acide de glyphosate d'au moins 30 pour cent en poids. Le système de stockage et d'expédition, du fait de la masse spécifique relativement élevée de la solution de sel de glyphosate, peut contenir un poids plus important de glyphosate qu'un système comprenant un récipient identique pratiquement rempli d'une solution aqueuse de sel d'isopropylammonium de glyphosate à concentration égale de glyphosate en poids. En variante, le récipient du système de stockage et d'expédition peut être plus petit que celui d'un système contenant le même poids de glyphosate sous forme de sel d'isopropylammonium. Un plus grand nombre de récipients plus petits peuvent, en outre, être expédiés dans un volume fermé donné, permettant ainsi l'expédition d'un poids plus élevé de glyphosate en un seul chargement.
