Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a herbicidal composition, which comprises thiazolinone methyl ester, isooctyl clofopyralid, a safener, an inert system and an agrochemically acceptable carrier; wherein the thiazolinone methyl ester is present in an amount of 0.25% to 1.50% w / w; the isooctyl clofopyralid is present in an amount of 7.2% to 38% w / w; the safener is present in an amount of 1.5% to 9% w / w, and the inert system at least comprises a surfactant, an adjuvant or a combination thereof. Background Art

[0002] Oil dispersions (OD) are dispersions of active materials in a non-aqueous phase, which are intended to be diluted prior to use. Oil dispersions are superior to other agrochemical formulations in that the active ingredients provide better penetration into the foliage when formulated in an oil base. Actives applied in the form of oil dispersions are not washed away by rainfall, but remain on the foliage for a longer period of time.

[0003] Yet, in the field of agricultural chemicals, the oil dispersion preparation comprising thiophenesulfuronyl methyl ester and isooctyl clofopyralid is unknown.When the inventors of the present invention attempted to prepare the oil dispersion preparation comprising thiophenesulfuronyl methyl ester and isooctyl clofopyralid, they ran into multiple challenges in preparation, such as stability problems, sedimentation, deposition, caking, load. The most common and difficult part in the oil dispersion preparation is to be able to obtain a uniform suspension of active substance in the whole preparation process. As a result, active substance can not be applied evenly on crops.

[0004] WO 2005051082A1 patent application discloses an oil suspension concentrate composition containing one or more types of herbicidal active compounds from the group of thienyl-sulfonamides and one or more organic solvents. However, this patent application does not disclose any example of the combination of thiocarbazonesulfuron methyl ester, fluroxypyr 2-ethylhexyl ester and a safener.

[0005] The inventors of the present invention have overcome the related problems and have successfully formulated an oil dispersion formulation. The formulation of the present invention not only eliminates the related disadvantages as pointed out in the preceding paragraph but also provides a superior composition that is otherwise difficult to obtain in a cost-effective manner.

[0006] The inventors of the present invention have formulated a stable oil dispersion formulation in which thiazolinone methyl ester, fluroxypyr ethyl ester, a safener, an inert system and an agrochemically acceptable carrier are present at specified concentrations.

[0007] Surprisingly, the inventors of the present application have determined that the oil dispersion formulations exhibit excellent biological effectiveness in terms of yield, plant growth and crop protection. In addition, the compositions of the present invention also exhibit superior physical characteristics, such as suspension, stability, pourability, improved viscosity, and are easy to apply and use. The compositions of the present invention also show excellent performance under accelerated storage. Surprisingly, the oil dispersions of the present invention exhibit little or no sedimentation during long-term storage, easily form resuspensions if stirred, and exhibit little or no oil phase separation when diluted with water.

[0008] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a stable herbicidal composition for controlling weeds, which comprises thiazolinone methyl, fluazifop-ethyl, a safener, an inert system and an agrochemically acceptable carrier. Summary of the invention

[0053] In an embodiment, the present invention provides a non-aqueous composition selected from the group consisting of an oil dispersion formulation and an emulsifiable concentrate formulation.

[0054] Safeners are organic compounds that, in some cases, lead to better crop plant compatibility when applied in conjunction with a specific herbicide. Some safeners have herbicidal activity. In these cases, the safener acts as an antidote or antagonist for the crop plants and thus reduces or even prevents damage to the crop plants.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present invention, the composition contains an effective amount of at least one safener, which is present in an amount of 1% to 10% w / w, and preferably in an amount of 1.5% to 9% w / w, and more preferably in an amount of 1.5% to 6% w / w.

[0068] Surfactants (emulsifiers / wetting agents / dispersants) include anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, polymeric surfactants or combinations thereof. It is preferred to use one or more than one surfactant. Surfactants are compounds that reduce the surface tension (or interfacial tension) between two liquids, between a gas and a liquid, or between a liquid and a solid.

[0069] Surfactants are added to stabilize oil dispersion or emulsifiable concentrate formulations and to improve the viscosity of the liquid phase in order to prevent insoluble active substances from settling out of suspension and in oil dispersion formulations from sedimentation due to aggregation and coalescence.

[0088] In an embodiment, the invention provides an adjuvant, wherein the adjuvant is generally used to enhance the biological performance (activity) of agricultural chemicals. The complexity of the adjuvant can vary from a simple surfactant such as a nonionic surfactant or an anionic surfactant to a multi-component blend of oil and different surfactant types. This adjuvant is directly incorporated ("embedded") into a formulation concentrate such as an emulsifiable concentrate or an oil dispersion. Farmers prefer such embedded compositions because no tank-mixed adjuvant is needed. This makes it easier to operate, especially in markets where products are sold in bulk. Since it is no longer necessary to produce and package a separate tank-mixed adjuvant, it can also significantly save costs in the manufacturing process.

[0089] This ensures that farmers will use the right adjuvant and control the ratio of adjuvant to agrochemicals. Oil-based adjuvants are particularly useful in enhancing the biological performance of agrochemicals. As used herein, the term "oil-based adjuvant" means a liquid adjuvant or adjuvant mixture that is substantially insoluble in the continuous aqueous phase of an agrochemical concentrate.

[0092] In an embodiment, the adjuvant system consists of alcohol ethoxylates, sorbitan ester ethoxylates, C1-C6 monoesters derived from vegetable oils, and combinations thereof.

[0093] In a preferred embodiment, the adjuvant system consists of Imbentin T / 65, Atplus UEP 100, methyl soybean oleate and a combination thereof.
