The present invention discloses a method of producing an aqueous agricultural composition exhibiting reduced irritation to animals and corrosiveness to materials by admixing an agriculturally acceptable compound and an amine-oxide surfactant having the Formula:
wherein R1 is a straight or branched chain about C6 to about C₂₀ alkyl or alkenyl group, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are each independently selected from the group of straight and branched chain lower alkylenyl groups, and a + b + c + d is about 5 to about 25. The compositions exhibit reduced eye irritation to animals and reduced corrosiveness to metals. A method of treating plants is also disclosed.
