1 / 34 FUNGICIDE FORMULATION, PRODUCTION PROCESS OF SAID FORMULATION, ITS USES AND SEED TREATMENT METHOD

[001] This patent application claims internal priority over process BR 10 2024 015651 0, filed on 07 / 30 / 2024, pursuant to Law No. 9,279, of May 14, 1996. FIELD OF APPLICATION

[002] The present invention is contained within the field of application of agronomic engineering, agricultural engineering, organic chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical engineering, botany and biology.

[003] More specifically, the present invention relates to a fungicidal formulation, its production process and use in a plurality of crops, said formulation also being used against pests. Furthermore, the method of treating seeds through the appropriate use of said formulation is also an object of the present invention. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE OF THE ART

[004] The development of quadruple fungicide formulations (containing four active ingredients) is currently a strategy aimed at overcoming challenges such as crop resistance to their mechanism of action. Although binary (containing two active ingredients) and ternary (containing three active ingredients) formulations are one of the alternatives for these purposes, they do not have the same spectrum of application when compared to quadruple formulations.

[005] However, obtaining compositions like these is no trivial task, since the introduction of a fourth active molecule implies potential physicochemical incompatibility with the three active ingredients and also with the agronomic excipients. This premise leads to problems such as physicochemical instability, reduced efficacy Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 8 / 60 2 / 34 agronomic, problems with sprayer clogging and difficulties in the industrial production process. It is no coincidence, for example, that up to the priority date of this invention, there are still no quadruple (or even ternary) formulations based on fipronil, metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin and fludioxonil disclosed in the state of the art. Only binary compositions containing the aforementioned active ingredients, or possibly combined with any third or fourth fungicide, are disclosed, said third and fourth fungicides being distinct from the corresponding third and fourth fungicides of the present invention.

[006] In other words, a binary formulation in itself already presents significant challenges in light of possible chemical incompatibilities between the active ingredients. Therefore, the realization of a composition based on four active ingredients is even more arduous. More specifically, there are twice as many organic molecules simultaneously present in a formulation, each with intrinsic chemical properties. The stabilization of the mixture in this case is robustly dependent on the strategic choice of agronomic excipients and their concentrations, demanding significant research and development efforts.

[007] Up to the priority date of the present invention, a person skilled in the art has not yet been able to obtain a quadruple mixture such as that now disclosed. Evidently, this requires significant research and development efforts.

[008] Furthermore, existing formulations make use of antifreeze, said antifreeze being used in high concentrations. Additionally, the compositions comprise an antifreeze system, that is, containing one or more of this type of component.

[009] The use of antifreeze is common in most binary formulations based on fipronil, metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin and Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 9 / 60 3 / 34 fludioxonil - the same applies to simple formulations of these compounds, that is, those containing only one of them as the main active ingredient.

[0010] Antifreeze agents are incorporated into formulations to maintain stability under low temperature conditions, such as those imposed by particularly cold climates (preparation for winter). In the context of simple or binary FS formulations based on fipronil, metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin, and fludioxonil, antifreeze agents are understood to be mandatory components. It should be mentioned that the above applies solely and exclusively to formulations of fipronil, metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin, and fludioxonil. Obviously, there are other fungicidal formulations in which the person skilled in the art can easily decide against incorporating antifreeze agents. However, these are formulations containing other active ingredients completely distinct from those covered in the present invention and possessing a different set of agronomic excipients.The inclusion or exclusion of components, as well as their concentrations, are characteristics significantly specific to a given type of formulation and active ingredients. In the context of the present invention, for example, antifreeze is used in a large proportion of fipronil, metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin, and fludioxonil formulations, highlighting the difficulty in removing this component from the composition.

[0011] Additionally, prior art formulations make use of polyvinyl alcohol, an important component for the adhesion of the composition to the seeds, in concentrations at least three times higher than in the present invention.

[0012] Document US6228884, for example, describes a formulation based on metalaxyl as the sole active ingredient, said formulation comprising antifreeze, and in high concentrations.

[0013] Document BR 112016018659-1 discloses a ternary formulation based on metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin and boscalid, day Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 10 / 60 4 / 34 composition comprising at least two antifreeze agents, said antifreeze agents being used in high concentrations.

[0014] Document WO06035316, in a first aspect, discloses a ternary formulation based on fludioxonil, difenoconazole and mefenoxam, said formulation comprising antifreeze, said antifreeze being used in a high concentration. In a second aspect, this prior art also describes a quadruple formulation based on metalaxyl, carboxim, ipotrione and triticonazole, said composition comprising a plurality of antifreezes, making up a high concentration of this system.

[0015] The product label for Syngenta's commercial product, namely Maxim XL, reveals a binary formulation based on metalaxyl and fludioxonil. This document, however, is silent regarding the description of the agronomic excipients.

[0016] In this way, the state of the art would benefit from the advent of a new quadruple fungicidal formulation for seed treatment, said formulation presenting as a differentiating factor not only a new combination of the active ingredients themselves, but also the fact that it comprises an adherent polymer in reduced concentrations, is free of antifreeze and contains a key mixture of agronomic excipients that made it possible to obtain said quadruple formulation - without such components this mixture would not be easily realized, which is why the priority of the present invention has not been disclosed until the present date. Furthermore, the production process is characterized as another differentiating factor, since the way in which the formulation is produced also directly influences its final physicochemical properties and, consequently, its agronomic performance.Consequently, the use of said formulation and treatment methods using said formulation also constitutes a differentiating factor. Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 11 / 60 5 / 34

[0017] Furthermore, the fungicidal formulation also represents an alternative formulation to the state of the art, achieving results through different technical approaches, both from a product and a process perspective.

[0018] Furthermore, the fungicidal formulation, while essentially comprising antifungal properties, also possesses insecticidal properties, which is an additional differentiating factor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0040] In a non-restrictive embodiment of the present invention, when the mill used in step (a9) is a laboratory-scale vertical immersion bead mill, grinding is carried out for 1 hour. As described in step (a10), if the particle size and mesh parameters are not met, step (a9) must be repeated until the particles of the particulate mixture meet such parameters. In this context, grinding must be carried out for another 1 hour, and so on, until the particle size comprises a value between 4 and 7 micrometers and said particles are no longer retained on a 325 mesh.

[0041] In a non-restrictive embodiment of the present invention, when the mill used in step (a9) is the industrial-scale horizontal bead mill, the grinding is carried out in cycles of random duration previously chosen by an operator, the number of cycles being that which is sufficient to meet the size and retention parameters described in step (a10), that is, particle size between 4 and 7 micrometers and zero retention on a 325 mesh. More specifically, until such parameters are reached, the grinding must be carried out in several cycles, which may be just one or more.

[0042] In a non-restrictive embodiment of the present invention, when the mill used in step (a9) is an industrial-scale vertical immersion bead mill, the grinding is carried out for 1 hour. As described in step (a10), if the particle size and mesh parameters are not met, step (a9) must be repeated. In this context, if the Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, p. 22 / 60 16 / 34 If the first 1-hour cycle is not sufficient, the grinding must be repeated for another 30 minutes, and so on, until the particle size is between 4 and 7 micrometers and said particles are no longer retained on a 325 mesh. More specifically, the additional 30-minute cycles will be performed in the number of times necessary to achieve the parameters defined in step (a10), and may be one or more 30-minute repetitions until such parameters are reached.

[0048] Preferred examples of how the present invention is conceived by a person skilled in the art will be described below. However, such examples do not limit the scope of protection of the present invention and are disclosed here only for the purpose of better understanding it. Example 1

[0049] A preferred and non-limiting example of the present invention is the fungicidal formulation comprising the components and their respective concentrations, as described in Table 1.

[0050] Table 1: A preferred example of a fungicide formulation comprising fipronil, metalaxyl, pyraclostrobin and fludioxonil, said example showing the respective concentrations of each of the components, in % w / v, % w / meg / L, and their function.

[0051] The silicone emulsion is preferably of the SAG 1572 brand.

[0052] Polyethylene glycol 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenyl ether ammonium sulfate is preferably of the Soprophor 4D 384 brand.

[0053] Sodium diisopropyl naphthalene sulfonate is preferably of the brands Morwet IP, Lipogral 4843, Oparyl MT 704 or Agnique ANS 3DNPB.

[0056] As noted, the realization of the fungicide formulation was only possible in light of the strategic choice of agronomic excipients described in Table 1, as well as their respective concentrations. It should also be mentioned that the fungicide formulation is free of antifreeze and contains polyvinyl alcohol at a concentration of only 0.1% w / v, the latter being important for the formulation's adherence to the seeds. Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 27 / 60 21 / 34 Example 2

[0057] For the purposes of better understanding this example, which refers to the description of the production process of the fungicide formulation described in Table 1, it should be understood that the concentrations of the components described herein are exactly those as described herein in said Table 1, and in any of the units of measurement specified herein (% m / V, g / L or % m / m).

[0058] In this preferred and non-restrictive example, the fungicide formulation production process comprises the following steps: (i) Base (A): fipronil + fludioxonil + pyraclostrobin; (1) In a formulating tank, add a first fraction of water and start the agitation system at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of water in this step is 56% of that specified in table 1; (2) Add the silicone emulsion and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of silicone emulsion in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; (3) Add a first fraction of polyethylene glycol 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenyl ether ammonium sulfate and stir for 20 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of polyethylene glycol 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenyl ether ammonium sulfate in this step is 70% of that specified in Table 1; (4) Add sodium diisopropyl naphthalene sulfonate and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of sodium diisopropyl naphthalene sulfonate in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; (5) Add the pyraclostrobin and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of pyraclostrobin in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 28 / 60 22 / 34 (6) add the fludioxonil and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of fludioxonil in this step is 100% of that specified in table 1; (7) Add the fipronil and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of fipronil in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; (8) Add the red dye in solid form and stir for 5 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of red dye in solid form in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; (9) perform grinding until obtaining particles of size (d98) between 4 and 7 micrometers and zero or negligible retention on a 325 mesh; (10) check the particle size on an analyzer and parallel control on a 325 mesh grid; if it is in accordance with the control parameters specified in step (9), base (A) will be obtained; otherwise, continue grinding for the time required to obtain such size and mesh characteristics; (ii) Base (B): metalaxyl; (11) In a formulating tank, add a second fraction of water and activate the agitation system at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of water in this step is 25% of that specified in table 1; (12) add a second fraction of polyethylene glycol 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenyl ether ammonium sulfate and stir for 20 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of polyethylene glycol 2,4,6-tris(1-phenylethyl)phenyl ether ammonium sulfate in this step is 30% of that specified in table 1; (13) Add the metalaxyl and stir for 20 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of metalaxyl in this step is 100% of that specified in table 1; Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 29 / 60 23 / 34 (iii) Combination of bases (A) and (B); (14) add base (B) to base (A) held in the formulating tank, and stir for 20 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C; (15) Add the 10% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of 10% aqueous polyvinyl alcohol solution in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; (16) Add 2% xanthan gum and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of 2% xanthan gum in this step is 100% of that specified in Table 1; (17) add a third fraction of water and stir for 10 minutes at 300 rpm at 20 °C - the amount of water in this step is 19% of that specified in table 1; and (18) perform a physical-chemical / chromatographic control of the final product obtained in step (17) and also a quality control for approval - the parameters involved in these control steps must comply with the technical specifications described in table 2.

[0059] With regard to the process described above, it should be noted that grinding in step (9) is carried out by means of cooling and recirculation, so that the temperature must be maintained in the range of 25 ± 12 °C.

[0060] Grinding can be carried out in a Hockmeyer immersion vertical bead mill (laboratory scale), LM horizontal bead mill (industrial scale) or Hockmeyer immersion vertical bead mill (industrial scale).

[0061] When the Hockmeyer vertical immersion bead mill (laboratory scale) is used, grinding must be carried out for 1 hour until the control parameters specified in step (9) are met. Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 30 / 60 24 / 34

[0062] When the horizontal pearl mill (industrial scale) is used, grinding must be carried out in cycles and at the end of each cycle particle size monitoring and 325 mesh test are performed. The cycles are performed until the control parameters specified in step (9) are met and their duration is randomly chosen by the operator.

[0063] When the Hockmeyer vertical immersion bead mill (industrial scale) is used, grinding is initially carried out for 1 hour, followed by particle size monitoring and testing on a 325 mesh screen. If the control parameters specified in step (9) are not met, grinding is repeated in cycles of 30 minutes each until these requirements are met.

[0064] In addition to the influence of agronomic excipients in obtaining a quadruple formulation such as the fungicidal formulation, the process described herein was also fundamental to its realization. More specifically, the order of addition of the components, process variables, and quantities involved in each step were decisive in enabling the inventors of the present invention to achieve it.

Stability at 54°C. Example 3

[0066] The fungicide formulation was also subjected to thermal stability tests at temperatures of 0.3°C and 54°C.

[0067] Based on the observed results, the insecticide formulation maintained the physicochemical properties of all parameters described in Table 2.

[0068] Therefore, this formulation is stable at room temperature for at least 2 years, as well as exhibiting stability in climatic conditions under reduced temperatures.

[0069] The observed results reflected the formulation as a whole, that is, the strategically chosen components and their concentrations. The way in which the formulation was obtained also had a direct influence. Example 4

[0070] Efficacy tests were performed by applying the fungicide formulation, as described in Table 1, to treat soybean seeds for the control of Rhizoctonia solani (Damping off).

[0071] The percentage of effectiveness was evaluated and the results are shown in Table 3 below. The fungicide formulation, as described in Table 1, was applied once to the seeds and the results were evaluated 10 days after soybean emergence (10 DDE). In this situation, the percentage of germinated plants (PG), percentage of normal plants (PN) and percentage of plants with symptoms (PS) were evaluated.

[0077] As observed, it is concluded that the fungicide formulation is effective in controlling the "stem borer" disease (Elasmopalpus lignosellus) with doses higher than 0.2 L / 100 Kg of seeds. Example 6

[0078] Efficacy tests were performed by applying the fungicide formulation, as described in Table 1, to treat soybean seeds for the control of Colletotrichum dematium var. truncata (Anthracnose).

[0079] The percentage of effectiveness was evaluated and the results are shown in Table 5 below.

Correlation between efficacy and physicochemical parameters. Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, page 37 / 60 31 / 34

[0082] The data presented throughout this report They indicated that the physicochemical parameters of the formulation were also carefully adjusted to ensure its stability, compatibility, and agronomic efficacy. Although the detailed correlation between these parameters and the efficacy results was not explicitly highlighted in the previous sections, the experimental information already described allows us to infer their direct contribution to the product's performance, as best visualized in Table 6.

[0083] Table 6: Interpretation of the formulation's effectiveness with regard to the physicochemical parameters analyzed. Physical Parameter - Technical Interpretation - Verified Impact on Chemical Observations: Efficacy Tests pH (6.0 - 7.5) Data indicated that this slightly acidic range strongly favored the stability of the formulation, with a positive impact on maintaining efficacy by up to 28 DAE. This condition appears to have strongly contributed to preventing degradation of the active ingredients against sensitive stem borer. Particle Size (4-7 µm) Analyses suggested that this size range favored a homogeneous distribution of the actives, associated with high observed efficacy against Rhizoctonia solani. This characteristic may have contributed to a uniform coating of the actives, associated with high observed efficacy against obstructions. Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, pp. 38 / 60 32 / 34 Viscosity (30–50 sec): The viscosity was found to remain within a range considered adequate for application and adhesion. The data strongly indicated that this property contributed to good seed coverage and contact with soil pathogens. Polyvinyl alcohol (0.1%): The presence of this component, in low concentration, demonstrated good adhesive action on the seed surface. The observed adhesiveness may have prevented product losses due to friction or washing, which was reflected in better agronomic performance, especially in the control of damping-off and stem borer. Density (1.1500–1.1900 g / mL): Tests indicated that this density range contributed to the physical stability of the formulation. The homogeneity of the application was consistent with the high germination rates recorded (>98%). Absence of antifreeze: The formulation did not contain these additives, and the data suggested good stability even without them.This characteristic appears to have reduced the risk of adverse reactions between ingredients, which may have favored the control of Elasmopalpus lignosellus for up to 28 days after emergence (DAE). Petition 870260017897, dated 26 / 02 / 2026, pp. 39 / 60 33 / 34 Stability at 54 °C: Good thermal stability was observed after prolonged exposure to high temperatures. This performance may be associated with maintaining the formulation's effectiveness during storage and transport. Low foam formation: The foam volume remained below 50 mL in the tests performed. This property was consistent with uniform application to the seeds, reflected in consistent germination (>99%) and normal seedling development. Appearance (homogeneous): The formulation remained a stable suspension, without perceptible settling during the tests. This visual stability may have favored uniformity between batches and the reproducibility of results in different locations.

[0084] Thus, the joint analysis of the physicochemical parameters with the efficacy results, as evidenced by the technical information and experimental data previously presented, reinforces the suitability of the formulation for the efficient control of the target diseases and pests, without this representing an addition of material beyond what was originally disclosed.
