Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of pesticide formulation technology, and in particular to a glyphosate soluble concentrate and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Glyphosate, chemically known as N-(phosphonocarboxymethyl)glycine, is a colorless crystal in its pure form and belongs to the systemic, broad-spectrum, non-selective organophosphorus herbicide class. As a non-selective organophosphorus herbicide, glyphosate is absorbed and translocated through the leaves after foliar spraying, inhibiting the synthesis of amino acids in weeds to achieve its weed-controlling effect. When converted to the equivalent dosage of glyphosate acid, glyphosate isopropylamine salt soluble concentrates are more effective than ammonium salts, potassium salts, dimethylamine salts, and sodium salts. However, due to the low surface energy hydrophobic layer and rough micro / nanostructure of plant leaves, pesticide droplets are lost through evaporation, permeation, dripping, and rainwater runoff, reducing pesticide effectiveness and causing environmental pollution. Furthermore, by spraying pesticide droplets directly onto plants, glyphosate is easily degraded under ultraviolet light, leading to a decrease in its weed-controlling efficacy. Therefore, improving the adhesion and deposition persistence of pesticide droplets on leaf surfaces and enhancing the UV resistance of glyphosate are directions worth exploring and developing.
[0003] CN117256620A discloses a low-temperature resistant glyphosate isopropylamine salt soluble concentrate, its preparation method, and its application. The soluble concentrate comprises the following components by weight: 50-60 parts of 62% glyphosate isopropylamine salt soluble concentrate, 1-5 parts of stretching agent, 3-7 parts of retention agent, 0.3-0.7 parts of synergist, 5-12 parts of organosilicon modified polyoxyethylene ether additive, 1-3 parts of stabilizer microemulsion, and 30-40 parts of water. The low-temperature resistant glyphosate isopropylamine salt soluble agent of this invention has good stability in low-temperature environments and is not prone to deterioration, aggregation, turbidity, or stratification. This can improve the weeding effect of glyphosate isopropylamine salt at low temperatures. Moreover, it can dissolve the waxy layer of the epidermis of weed stems and leaves, improve the penetration ability of glyphosate isopropylamine salt into weed stems and leaves, and enhance the conduction ability of glyphosate isopropylamine salt in weeds, thereby achieving a high-efficiency weed removal effect. However, this soluble agent has a low leaf deposition rate and is prone to pesticide loss during application through rebound, splashing, and other means, reducing efficacy.
[0004] CN114680130B discloses a glyphosate isopropylamine salt soluble concentrate and its preparation method. By mass percentage, the components of the glyphosate isopropylamine soluble concentrate are: glyphosate isopropylamine salt 62-72%, compound adjuvants 1-5%, and deionized water to 100%. The preparation method of the glyphosate isopropylamine salt soluble concentrate provided by this invention is simple, requires little equipment investment, and generates no waste. The resulting high-content liquid product is transparent and shows no crystallization after 90 days of storage at 0℃. Furthermore, the use of compound adjuvants produces a synergistic effect in weed control. At a dosage of 180-240 g / mu, this liquid concentrate has high efficacy against grasses and broadleaf weeds in non-cultivated land and citrus orchards. However, this soluble concentrate has poor photostability, and the active pesticide component is easily degraded by ultraviolet light, leading to reduced pesticide efficacy and preventing long-term weed control. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a glyphosate soluble concentrate that exhibits high control efficacy against weeds in non-cultivated land and is safe for other organisms. By using the raw material components synergistically and in a reasonable ratio, the prepared soluble concentrate possesses excellent leaf deposition rate and resistance to rain washout, while also exhibiting good UV resistance, thus achieving long-term glyphosate efficacy and extending the control time against weeds.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a method for preparing glyphosate soluble concentrate, comprising the following steps: Glyphosate and water are mixed and stirred until a slurry is formed at a temperature of 35-45℃. Isopropylamine is then added, and the mixture is stirred at 55-65℃ for 1.5-3.5 hours until the material is homogeneous, yielding a glyphosate isopropylamine salt aqueous solution. A compound synergist, pH adjuster, and defoamer are added to the above glyphosate isopropylamine salt aqueous solution, and stirring continues for 10-15 minutes until homogeneous. Antifreeze is then added, and the mixture is stirred for 20-30 minutes to obtain a transparent homogeneous solution. The above transparent homogeneous solution is tested, and if it passes the test, it is filled into the final product: a glyphosate solution soluble concentrate. Alternatively, at a temperature of 35-45℃, glyphosate and water are mixed and stirred until a slurry is formed; then isopropylamine is added, and the mixture is stirred at 55-65℃ for 1.5-3.5 hours until the material is uniformly stirred to obtain an aqueous solution of glyphosate isopropylamine salt; a compound synergist, pH adjuster, additive, and defoamer are added to the above aqueous solution of glyphosate isopropylamine salt and stirring is continued for 10-15 minutes until the mixture is uniform; then the loading agent and antifreeze are added and stirred for 20-30 minutes to obtain a transparent homogeneous solution; the above transparent homogeneous solution is tested, and after passing the test, it is filled to obtain the finished glyphosate solution soluble concentrate.

[0008] Preferably, the composite synergist is a mixture of propoxylated quaternary ammonium salt and ethoxyalkyl phosphate in a mass ratio of 1:1-1.5.
[0009] Preferably, the antifreeze is selected from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and glycerol.
[0010] Preferably, the defoamer is selected from one of butyl phosphate, isobutyl phosphate, n-octanol, and organosilicon defoamers.

[0012] Preferably, the loading agent is selected from one of aluminum pillar clay, magnesium aluminum silicate, and carboxymethyl cellulose.
[0013] Preferably, the additive is a polydopamine-sodium alginate complex, and its preparation method includes the following steps: Sodium alginate was dissolved in water to prepare a homogeneous sodium alginate solution of 1-2 wt%. N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxysuccinimide were added to the sodium alginate solution, and the mixture was stirred at 24-26℃ for 3-4 h to obtain mixed solution A. Dopamine hydrochloride was added to mixed solution A, and after stirring until homogeneous, the pH was adjusted to 4.5-5 with 2-2.5 mol / L hydrochloric acid. The mixture was then stirred at 24-26℃ for 24-26 h to obtain mixed solution B. Mixed solution B was placed in a dialysis bag and dialyzed in water for 72-96 h, followed by freeze-drying to obtain a solid crude product. The solid crude product was redissolved in water to obtain a crude product solution. The solution was then treated with 2-3 mol / L hydrochloric acid... The pH of the crude product solution was adjusted to 8-8.5 using NaOH aqueous solution, and stirred at 25°C for 4-5 hours. Then, it was dialyzed again for 24-26 hours and then freeze-dried to obtain the final product, polydopamine-sodium alginate complex.
[0014] Preferably, the additive is a polydopamine-sodium alginate complex, and its preparation method includes the following steps, in parts by weight: Dissolve 2-3 parts of sodium alginate in 200-250 parts of water to prepare a 1-2 wt% homogeneous sodium alginate solution; add 1-2 parts of N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and 1-1.5 parts of N-hydroxysuccinimide to the above sodium alginate solution, stir at 24-26℃ for 3-4 h to obtain mixed solution A; add 1.5-2 parts of dopamine hydrochloride to mixed solution A, stir evenly, adjust the pH to 4.5-5 with 2-2.5 mol / L hydrochloric acid, and then stir at 24-26℃ for 24-26 h to obtain mixed solution B; place mixed solution B in a dialysis bag and dialyze in water for 72-96 h, then freeze-dry to obtain a solid crude product; take 0.02-0.05 parts of the above solid crude product and redissolve it in 10-20 parts of water to obtain a crude product solution; use 2-3 mol / L... The pH of the crude product solution was adjusted to 8-8.5 using NaOH aqueous solution, and stirred at 25°C for 4-5 hours. Then, it was dialyzed again for 24-26 hours and then freeze-dried to obtain the final product, polydopamine-sodium alginate complex.
[0015] The second objective of this invention is to provide a glyphosate soluble concentrate, prepared by the above-described preparation method.
[0016] In this invention, propylene glycol acts as an antifreeze agent, helping to ensure that glyphosate soluble concentrate maintains its fluidity and stability at low temperatures. Propylene glycol can lower the freezing point of the solution, preventing glyphosate soluble concentrate from crystallizing or freezing in cold climates, thus increasing its effectiveness and efficacy, and allowing it to remain effective under a wider range of climatic conditions.
[0017] In this invention, the organosilicon defoamer can quickly defoam and prevent foam regeneration, improve the spraying effect of the pesticide solution, and ensure that the pesticide solution is evenly distributed on the plant leaves, thereby improving the utilization rate and efficacy of glyphosate soluble concentrate.
[0018] In this invention, citric acid is used as a pH adjuster to adjust the pH value of glyphosate soluble concentrate to an appropriate range, which helps to improve the solubility and stability of glyphosate, reduce its possible degradation or transformation during storage, and promote compatibility with other components. This helps to prepare high-quality, stable glyphosate soluble concentrate products.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. Compared with existing technologies, this invention uses a combination of propoxylated quaternary ammonium salt and ethoxyalkyl phosphate as a synergist. By enhancing the permeability and conductivity of glyphosate molecules within plants, it significantly improves the efficacy of glyphosate, making the prepared soluble concentrate more effective in inhibiting weed growth. Field efficacy trials have demonstrated that the soluble concentrate prepared by this invention is superior to other commercially available products in controlling weeds. Furthermore, this product has low toxicity, minimal negative impact on the environment and crops, and possesses a certain degree of safety.
[0020] 2. This invention improves the utilization rate and control effect of glyphosate by using aluminum-supported clay to load glyphosate, while reducing pesticide drift and volatility, thereby minimizing the impact on non-target organisms. Furthermore, the introduction of a polydopamine-sodium alginate complex for synergistic use not only increases the leaf deposition rate and rain washout resistance of glyphosate soluble concentrate, but also enhances its UV resistance. The increased leaf deposition rate allows glyphosate to adhere more effectively to the leaf surface, improving pesticide utilization and weed control. Simultaneously, the enhanced rain washout resistance allows the pesticide to maintain its effectiveness even in rainy seasons or humid environments, reducing runoff and extending the effective period. This reduces the need for repeated applications and alleviates labor intensity. In addition, the improved UV resistance of glyphosate protects its active ingredient from the degradation of ultraviolet rays in sunlight, ensuring its effective action time on the leaves and further enhancing efficacy. These improvements collectively enhance the overall performance of the glyphosate soluble concentrate prepared in this invention, making it more efficient and economical in agricultural production and providing farmers with a more reliable weed control solution.

[0032] Application: Targeted foliar spraying was used; water usage was 40 liters / mu (600 liters / hectare); the experimental plot was divided into uniform 30m² areas. 2 For each of the 20 plots, a certain amount of the test substance was accurately measured into centrifuge tubes, labeled, and brought to the test site. Before application, the drug solution was prepared using a two-stage dilution method. The blank control area was first sprayed with an equal amount of water. In the drug treatment area, each plot was sprayed uniformly and at a constant speed, from low concentration to high concentration, without overlapping or missing any areas. Before applying different drug treatments, the sprayer was washed according to the standard operating procedure.
[0033] investigation: Frequency and timing: The weed population (species and number of plants) was investigated before application; the plant control efficacy was investigated 15 days after application; and the plant control efficacy and fresh weight control efficacy were investigated 40 days after application.
[0034] Investigation methods: During the baseline survey before pesticide application, 4 points were randomly selected from each plot, with each point covering 0.25 square meters, to investigate the types and number of weeds. Subsequent surveys were conducted at fixed points. 40 days after pesticide application, in addition to investigating the types and number of weeds, the fresh weight of surviving weeds after root removal was also investigated, and the plant control efficacy and fresh weight control efficacy of the test pesticide against the target weeds were calculated.
[0035] The efficacy calculation method involves retaining the result to two decimal places. The control effect is calculated using the following formula: Control efficacy (%) = [Number of residual weeds (fresh weight) in the blank control area - Number of residual weeds (fresh weight) in the treatment area] / Number of residual weeds (fresh weight) in the blank control area × 100 The experimental data were processed and analyzed using the DPS7.05 data processing system and the Duncan's New Multiple Range (DMRT) method.

In terms of overall efficacy, when the dosage of the test agent was 200.00~400.00 mL / mu (i.e., the effective ingredient dosage was 1230.00~2460.00 g / ha), the control efficacy against total weeds in non-cultivated land increased with the increase of the dosage of the test agent (i.e., the soluble concentrate prepared in this invention). At 15 days post-application, the control efficacy against total weeds in non-cultivated land increased from 79% to over 90% with increasing dosage. At 40 days post-application, the control efficacy against total weeds in non-cultivated land remained above 90%, and the control efficacy against the fresh weight of total weeds was above 91%. This indicates that the test agent used in this experiment had a good control effect on weeds in non-cultivated land. Meanwhile, the glyphosate soluble concentrate prepared in this invention, at a dosage of 200-400 ml / mu (active ingredient dosage of 1230.0~2460.0 g / ha), showed no adverse effects on neighboring organisms and is safe for neighboring crops and other non-target organisms, demonstrating good safety.

[0069] Test Example 1 Blade adhesion performance test Fresh, viable seedlings of *Sonchus oleraceus* were selected. The leaves were washed with deionized water to remove dust while maintaining the integrity of the leaf structure, and then allowed to air dry. Sample solutions were prepared by diluting 1 mL of the soluble solvents used in Examples 1, 5-7, and Comparative Examples 1-2 with 10 mL of water. These sample solutions were then evenly sprayed onto the leaf surface using a spray gun and allowed to air dry. The leaves were divided into two parts along the main vein. One part was rinsed with 100 mL of deionized water under pressure, simulating rainfall, while the other part was left unrinsed. After the droplets on the leaf surface dried, both parts of the leaf were cut into smaller pieces with scissors and extracted with 2.0 mL of dichloromethane for 12 h. Then, dichloromethane was transferred to centrifuge tubes using a disposable dropper. The leaves were rinsed with 1.0 mL of dichloromethane three times. The dichloromethane used for rinsing was transferred to the centrifuge tubes mentioned above, and the tubes were placed in a fume hood to evaporate the dichloromethane. Then, 0.2 mL of methanol was added to dissolve the dichloromethane, and the solution was analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Based on the standard curve, the peak areas of glyphosate before and after simulated rainwater runoff were calculated. The retention rate was calculated using the following formula: Retention rate (%) = [(S1-S2) / S1] × 100% Where S1 is the simulated peak area before rainfall erosion; S2 is the simulated peak area after rainfall erosion.
[0070] The test results are averaged, and the details are shown in Table 1.
[0071] Table 7. Test results of soluble solvent adhesion performance on leaf surfaces for each group.
[0072] As shown in Table 7, compared with Examples 1, 5-7, and Comparative Examples 1-2, the glyphosate retention of Example 1 after rainwater washing was significantly lower than that of Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2. Comparing Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the retention of Example 5-7 was higher than that of Comparative Examples 1-2, with Example 5 exhibiting the highest glyphosate retention. This may be because the aluminum-pillared clay has a unique layered structure, providing a large adsorption surface for glyphosate, and has a narrow particle size distribution, allowing it to better fill the depressions and pores on the leaf surface, increasing the coverage area of glyphosate on the leaf surface. Furthermore, during the preparation of the polydopamine-sodium alginate complex, dopamine is oxidized to dopaquinone under alkaline conditions and further rearranged to form 5,6-dihydroxyindole. However, dopamine, dopaquinone, and 5,6-dihydroxyindole are easily oxidized and copolymerized to form dimers or polymers, ultimately polymerizing to form polydopamine with an irregular self-assembled particle structure. Polydopamine is rich in functional groups such as catechols and amino groups, which can adhere to other materials through covalent and non-covalent bonds. Therefore, when pesticide-containing droplets fall onto the leaf surface, the abundant catechol and amino groups in the polydopamine-sodium alginate complex interact with the hydrophobic waxy layer of the leaf to form strong hydrogen bonds, enhancing the adhesion between the droplet surface and the waxy layer, allowing the pesticide droplets to effectively adhere to the crop leaf surface. Al on aluminum-pillared clay loaded with glyphosate... 3+ The ions complex with a large number of catechol groups in the polydopamine-sodium alginate complex to form a dense cross-linked network, while the sodium alginate contained therein can combine with Al 3+ Ion dynamic coordination forms a gel material. The interpenetrating structure and the formation of the gel material effectively encapsulate glyphosate and increase its contact area with the leaves. This not only improves the stability of glyphosate but also increases its adhesion to the leaves, facilitating more uniform and stable deposition on the leaf surface. Simultaneously, the polydopamine-sodium alginate complex and the Al on the aluminum-pillared clay... 3+ Ions can also crosslink on the leaf surface through catechol-metal and carboxyl-metal coordination bonds, forming a dense supramolecular polymer network with topological and strong cohesion. This not only bridges the gap between intermolecular interactions and pesticide deposition performance, but also effectively reduces the damage to the structure caused by water swelling, further improving the leaf deposition rate of pesticide droplets and the ability to resist rain erosion.
[0073] Test Example 2 UV stability test Take 1 mL of each of the soluble solutions prepared in Examples 1, 5-7, and Comparative Examples 1-2, and dilute with 10 mL of deionized water. Record these as Group 1 (Example 1), Group 5-7 (Example 5-7), and Group 1-2 (Comparative Examples 1-2), respectively. Expose each group of samples to a 36W germicidal lamp (254 nm) at a distance of 20 cm for 24 h, 48 h, and 96 h to test the stability against ultraviolet radiation. Analyze the changes in glyphosate content in each group using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with 270 nm ultraviolet detection (Agilent HP1260, USA). The chromatographic conditions are as follows: a reversed-phase Welch Ultimate XB-C18 column (250 × 4.6 mm inner diameter, 5 μm) was used, with methanol and water (80:20, v / v) as the mobile phase. Analyze using an injection volume of 20 μL and a flow rate of 1.0 mL / min. All solvents were filtered through a 0.45 μm membrane filter before use.
[0074] The test results are averaged, and the details are shown in Table 8.
[0075] Table 8. Glyphosate degradation rate for each group
[0076] As shown in Table 8, compared with Examples 1, 5-7, and Comparative Examples 1-2, the degradation rate of glyphosate in Example 1 was significantly higher than that in Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2. Comparing Examples 5-7 and Comparative Examples 1-2, the degradation rate of Examples 5-7 was higher than that in Comparative Examples 1-2, with Example 5 exhibiting the lowest glyphosate degradation rate. This indicates that the soluble agent prepared in this invention possesses excellent UV resistance. The reason for this may be that the layered structure and large specific surface area of the aluminum-pillared clay provide a large amount of adsorption surface, which helps to form a tight bond with glyphosate molecules. This tight bond helps reduce the decomposition of glyphosate molecules under ultraviolet light, thereby improving its UV resistance. Furthermore, polydopamine has good antioxidant and UV resistance properties, absorbing ultraviolet light and converting it into heat energy, thus reducing the destructive effect of ultraviolet light on glyphosate. Simultaneously, it reduces oxidative damage to glyphosate molecules by capturing and neutralizing free radicals generated under light conditions. Meanwhile, the Al on the glyphosate-loaded aluminum-pillared clay... 3+ The ions complex with a large number of catechol groups in the polydopamine-sodium alginate complex solution to form a dense cross-linked network, while the sodium alginate contained therein can react with Al 3+ Ion dynamic coordination forms a gel material. The interpenetrating structure and the formation of the gel material can effectively encapsulate glyphosate, forming a protective barrier to isolate glyphosate molecules from the external environment. At the same time, it promotes the aggregation between glyphosate molecules, forming a "cage" structure, thereby further reducing the direct contact between ultraviolet light and glyphosate molecules, reducing the photolysis rate, and improving the UV resistance of glyphosate.
