[0004] The chemical name of quizalofop-P is (R)-2-[4-[(6-chloro-2-quinoxalinyl)oxy]phenoxy]propionic acid, the more biologically active (+) enantiomer of racemic quizalofop-P. The CAS registry number of quizalofop-ethyl is 94051-08-8, and it is an aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicide and can be used as a salt (e.g., an alkali metal salt such as Na, K, etc.) or an ester (e.g., ethyl ester (quizalofop-P-ethyl), quizalofop-P-tefuryl ((RS)-(R)-2-[4-(6-chloroquinoxalin-2-yloxy)phenoxy]propionic acid tetrahydrofurfuryl), oxadiazol (2-isopropylideneaminooxyethyl (R)-2-[4-(6-chloroquinoxalin-2-yloxy)phenoxy]propionate), etc.) to control annual and perennial grass weeds.

[0139] Examples

[0140] The following examples do not limit the present disclosure, but merely illustrate how to implement the present disclosure.

[0141] Test Method

[0142] Low temperature stability is measured at 0°C for 14 days in accordance with CIPAC MT 39.3 "MT 39.3 LOW TEMPERATURE STABILITY OF LIQUID FORMULATIONS". After storage, a composition is evaluated as "stable" if no precipitation is observed at the bottom of the container containing the composition by visual observation and the turbidity of the composition is less than 50 NTU (nephelometric turbidity units), preferably less than 40 NTU, more preferably less than 30 NTU.

[0143] Turbidity was measured using a HACH 2100Q portable turbidity meter, and the results are given as average values ​​in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU). Turbidity was measured as follows: first, the composition was stored at 0°C for 14 days as required in the low temperature stability test method; second, the turbidity of the composition was measured at 0°C using a turbidimeter.

[0144] Example 1

[0145] In this Example 1, compositions 1-4 (C1-C4) were formulated by thoroughly mixing Genapol X-80, solvesso 200ULN, and the selected co-solvents (propylene carbonate, gamma butyrolactone, and / or N-methylpyrrolidone) as shown in Table 1 in the weight percentages as shown in Table 1 until homogeneous.

[0146] Compositions 1 to 4 were then tested for low-temperature stability and turbidity, respectively. The results are also shown in Table 1. As can be seen from Table 1, after 14 days of storage at 0°C, Composition 1, which contained only 7% by weight of both γ-butyrolactone and propylene carbonate, each exhibited no precipitation and the lowest NTU, and was evaluated as stable. It was noted that after 14 days of storage at 0°C, Composition 1 was slightly turbid, as assessed by visual inspection. After 14 days of storage at 0°C, Compositions 2 and 3, which contained only 7% by weight of either γ-butyrolactone or propylene carbonate, exhibited significant precipitation and a much higher NTU than Composition 1. Comparing Composition 4 with Composition 2, it can be seen that Composition 4, which contained additional NMP at 7% by weight, exhibited the worst precipitation and, in turn, the worst NTU.

[0147] Table 1

[0148]

[0149] 1 Fatty alcohol polyglycol ether

[0150] Example 2

[0151] In this Example 2, compositions 5-6 (C5-C6) were formulated by thoroughly mixing Genapol X-80, solvesso 200ULN and the selected co-solvent (propylene carbonate or gamma butyrolactone) as shown in Table 2 at the weight percentages as shown in Table 2 until homogeneous.

[0152] Next, the low-temperature stability of compositions 5 and 6 was tested. The results are also shown in Table 2. As can be seen from Table 2, after 14 days of storage at 0°C, both compositions 5 and 6, which contained 14% by weight of γ-butyrolactone or propylene carbonate, showed no precipitation and were evaluated as stable. It was also noted that, after 14 days of storage at 0°C, compositions 5 and 6, like composition 1, were slightly turbid, as assessed by visual inspection.

[0153] Table 2

[0154]

[0155] 1 Fatty alcohol polyglycol ether

[0156] Example 3

[0157] In this Example 3, compositions 1', 5', 6' and 7-10 (C1', C5', C6' and C7-C10) were formulated by thoroughly mixing Genapol X-80, solvesso 200ULN and the selected co-solvents (propylene carbonate and / or gamma butyrolactone) as shown in Table 3 in the weight percentages as shown in Table 3 until homogeneous.

[0158] Then, the low temperature stability and turbidity of compositions 1', 5', 6' and 7-10 were tested respectively. The results are also shown in Table 3. As can be seen from Table 3, C1', C5' and C6' were repeated from C1, C5 and C6 in Examples 1 and 2 above, respectively, and after storage at 0°C for 14 days, C1', C5' and C6' showed no precipitation, very small NTU, and were evaluated as stable. As can be seen from Table 3, after storage at 0°C for 14 days, compositions 7 and 8 containing γ-butyrolactone or propylene carbonate in an amount of 8% by weight showed no precipitation and very small NTU, and were evaluated as stable. It is also noted that after storage at 0°C for 14 days, compositions 1', 5', 6', 7 and 8 were clear by visual assessment. However, after storage at 0°C for 14 days, composition 9 showed obvious precipitation and phase separation, and composition 10 was opaque and showed the highest NTU, both of which were evaluated as unstable.

[0159] Table 3

[0160]

[0161]

[0162] 1 Fatty alcohol polyglycol ether

[0163] Example 4

[0164] In this Example 4, compositions 11-17 (C11-C17) were formulated by thoroughly mixing Genapol X-80, solvesso 200ULN, and the selected co-solvents (propylene carbonate and / or gamma butyrolactone) as shown in Table 4 at the weight percentages as shown in Table 4 until homogeneous.

[0165] Compositions 11-17 were then tested for low-temperature stability and turbidity. The results are also shown in Table 4. After 14 days of storage at 0°C, C12, C13, and C17 were clear, while C16 was slightly turbid. All of C12, C13, C16, and C17 exhibited no precipitation and an NTU of less than 20, and were therefore evaluated as stable. However, after 14 days of storage at 0°C, composition 11 exhibited significant precipitation and phase separation, and compositions 14-15 were opaque and exhibited very high NTUs of greater than 120. All compositions 11, 14, and 15 were evaluated as unstable.

[0166] Table 4

[0167]

[0168]

[0169] 1 Fatty alcohol polyglycol ether

[0170] Example 5

[0171] In this Example 5, compositions 18-21 (C18-C21) were formulated by thoroughly mixing Genapol X-80, solvesso 200ULN, and the selected co-solvents (propylene carbonate and / or gamma butyrolactone) as shown in Table 5 in the weight percentages as shown in Table 5 until homogeneous.

[0172] Compositions 18-21 were then tested for low-temperature stability and turbidity. The results are also shown in Table 5. As can be seen from Table 5, after 14 days of storage at 0°C, C18-C19 were clear, exhibited no precipitation, and had very low NTU, and were evaluated as stable. However, C20-23 exhibited slight phase separation, bottom turbidity, and very high NTU, and were evaluated as unstable. Comparing C20-23 to C16-17, it appears that the combined use of propylene carbonate and gamma-butyrolactone is more effective than using either propylene carbonate or gamma-butyrolactone alone at the same level.
