Procedure

Alfalfa was sprayed with an aqueous dispersion containing 96 percent water, 0.5 percent decane isomers obtained from the oligomerization of decene-1, 1.5 percent methyl soyate, containing 6.6 percent oleic acid and having an acid value of 20, and 2 percent potassium carbonate. The amount of oleic acid in the methyl ester was calculated to provide approximately 0.11 weight percent potassium oleate. Only 7.25 hours was required to obtain 25 percent residual moisture in the alfalfa using the formulation of this example--an 83 percent reduction in drying time.
