Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a variety of pesticide compositions, including non-aqueous continuous herbicide dispersion compositions (p esticidal compositions and methods for preparing these compositions The present invention further relates to herbicide application mixtures including water continuous dispersion compositions, The present invention also relates to a method for preparing the mixture for use and various methods of use. The present invention also relates to various herbicidal compositions having improved application properties. [Background technology]

[0002] To increase the efficiency of application of herbicidal active ingredients, two or more active ingredients may be combined in a single formulation. It is highly desirable to combine active ingredients with different mechanisms of action. By using a high concentration of active ingredient, the control of pests can be enhanced. Concentrated compositions that contain multiple active ingredients at high concentrations are more economical to transport and store. Concentrated compositions (i.e., premix concentrates) containing the active ingredient in an amount of 0.1 to 100% can also be used as application mixtures in the field. This is beneficial in avoiding or reducing mixing errors when preparing the

[0003] Chemical stability of active ingredients that may be chemically unstable and / or mutually reactive with each other It can be difficult to formulate such mixtures. Furthermore, agricultural active substances are often water soluble. from water-soluble and ionic compounds, and oil- or oil-soluble substances to water- or oil-insoluble solids. These different types of active ingredients may vary in their solubilities. To combine in a mixture, a dispersion (i.e., emulsion or suspension) is required. However, it may be necessary to formulate a multi-phase mixture of the dispersion, such as a true solution. Unlike single-phase mixtures of 1,2-dichlorophenyl ether, these have no inherent physical stability.

[0004] Generally, a dispersion is a multiphase mixture of two or more immiscible components, including a liquid component, and a continuous liquid. The continuous liquid phase has one or more dispersed phases, also called the internal phase. Solids and / or liquids present as a dispersed phase, such as dispersed solid and / or liquid particles A dispersion includes a liquid component that is partially or completely immiscible with another component. Typically, the dispersed phase is dispersed in water as a continuous phase, referred to as a water continuous dispersion. and when the continuous phase is an oily liquid and not water, it is called an oil dispersion or an oil continuous dispersion. (i.e., non-aqueous continuous dispersions).

[0005] In water continuous dispersions, high levels of ionic compounds dissolved in the aqueous phase act to stabilize the dispersion. This tends to render the components (i.e. dispersants / emulsifiers / suspending agents) ineffective. Flocculation of suspended solid particles, coalescence of oil droplets resulting in total separation of the emulsified oil phase and dispersion of dispersed particles / dispersions. Achieving good physical stability through stability against settling of droplets requires the presence of a solvent in the aqueous phase. This can be difficult with aqueous dispersions that have large amounts of dissolved ionic actives. The ionic nature of ionic substances is such that when they are dissolved in an appropriate polar liquid, their constituent ions are separated into It only appears when the molecule dissociates into

[0006] The solubility and ionic dissociation of polar ionic compounds is typically observed in non-polar liquids such as oils. The physical stability of the oil dispersion is therefore limited by the polar ionic species contained therein. may not be adversely affected by the presence of the active substance. The effectiveness of depends on their bioavailability in soluble or molecular form. Oil dispersions of polar ionic herbicidal active substances such as glyphosate, dicamba and 2,4-D ( It can be difficult to develop biologically effective agricultural formulations as non-aqueous continuous dispersions. .

[0007] Furthermore, herbicidal compositions are typically used in bulk quantities and therefore can be easily dispensed. It has a low apparent viscosity (i.e., high shear rate viscosity) so that it can be easily mixed, yet is highly resistant to settling. It must be stable (which, in the case of bulk formulations, means that any precipitated mass can be redispersed). (This is because it is difficult to achieve high low shear rate viscosity (to obtain high stability) at low Contrasting rheological characteristics, such as high shear rate viscosity (to obtain high flowability) It is difficult to achieve high efficacy, and it is common to arrive at formulations with suboptimal properties. This leads to a reduced level of stability and liquidity. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

It may contain one or more volatility control additives to reduce under some application conditions. Certain herbicides, such as auxin herbicides, can evaporate into the surrounding air and be removed from the application site. They can be transferred to adjacent crop plants such as wheat and cotton, where they may have a detrimental effect on susceptible plants. Contact damage may occur. See, for example, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2014 / 0128264 and U.S. Patent application publication no. 2015 / 0264924, which is incorporated herein by reference. Additives to control or reduce the potential volatility of herbicides, as described in Additives include monocarboxylic acids or their salts (e.g., acetic acid and / or its agriculturally acceptable salts). Examples include salt that can be used as a base for cooking.

[0107] Representative monocarboxylic acids and monocarboxylate anions are generally selected from the group consisting of, for example, containing hydrocarbons or unsubstituted hydrocarbons selected from: unsubstituted or substituted straight or branched chain alkyl (e.g., C1-C 20 Alkyl, e.g. methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, etc.); unsubstituted or substituted A linear or branched alkenyl (e.g., C2-C 20 Alkyl, e.g., ethene nyl, n-propenyl, isopropenyl, etc.); unsubstituted or substituted aryl (e.g., phenyl, hydroxyphenyl, etc.); or unsubstituted or is substituted arylalkyl (e.g., benzyl).

[0108] By incorporating effective amounts of various compatible solvents (i.e., non-water compatible solvents), Chemical stability can be further improved. For a given solute, the When dissolved, the solvent can provide strong intermolecular interactions between the solvent molecules and the solute molecules.

The higher the values ​​of these parameters, the stronger the interaction between the solute and the solvent, and therefore the The molecules in the solution overcome these interactions and move from the solution phase to the surrounding liquid that is immiscible with the solution phase. It becomes more difficult for the compound to partition into the body phase. Therefore, the affinity solvent is The purpose of the present invention is to minimize the dissipation or partitioning of the auxin herbicide acid from the liquid phase to an immiscible liquid phase. It is being done.

[0113] Chemical stability is further improved by the incorporation of an effective amount of alkylene glycol. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that the alkylene glycol It is believed that the complexes formed with auxin herbicides (especially the acid forms of auxin herbicides). It is theorized that the is non-reactive and relatively non-volatile. In one embodiment, the alkylene glycol is a C2-C 10 Contains glycol or, more specifically, C2-C6 glycols. Alkylene glycol is a branched C2-C 10 Glycol or C2 to C6 glycol Branched chain glycols may, in some cases, reduce the volatility of auxin herbicides. It has been found that the above provides even greater improvements in the above-mentioned. The alkylene glycol is selected from the group consisting of: propylene glycol; Hexylene glycol; 1,3-propanediol; 1,4-butanediol; 1,3- butanediol; and mixtures thereof.

[0341] The following non-limiting examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention. Amounts specified in the examples are by weight unless otherwise indicated.

[0342] Example 1 This example is a combination of a second herbicidal active, acetochlor, in a liquid hydrocarbon. This indicates improved chemical stability of mesotrione when exposed to liquid hydrocarbons (e.g. For example, Isopar M and Isopar V were added to the acetochlor-containing oil phase. After that, the mesotrione granular solid was dispersed in the acetochlor-containing oil continuous phase. The details are shown in Table 1. Stability testing was carried out at 54°C for 4 weeks. In the test, the recovery rate (%) of mesotrione was 1.0% in a continuous oil solution consisting of acetochlor alone. In Sample 1 and Sample 2, the ratio was about 67-68%, and acetochlor Compositions 3 to 10 have an oil continuous phase composed of various mixtures of ethylene glycol and hydrocarbons. It was shown that the solubility of the oil in the continuous phase was about 95% or more. Improved stability is observed. [Table 1]

[0343] Example 2 This example demonstrates that PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate can be used to treat a variety of particulate active agents. The oils containing this polymeric dispersant have been shown to be effective dispersants for the ingredients. The dispersion contained a mixture of solid granular active ingredients: (i) mesotrione solid (61% by weight); (ii) glyphosate. (iii) sodium salt of dicamba solids (60% by weight); Even when the mixture contained relatively large amounts of 1,2-dichlorophenyl ether, it showed a free-flowing consistency. In the absence of any solids, the respective oil dispersions were gel-like, presumably due to extensive aggregation of the suspended solids. The above findings indicate that PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate has a variety of viscosity characteristics. These results suggest that the compound may be an effective dispersant for multiple types of granular active ingredients with various surface properties. is.

[0344] Example 3 This example demonstrates the improved chemical stability of mesotrione in the presence of acetochlor. The strategy described in Example 1 for achieving this is to use additives such as dispersants, rheology modifiers and emulsifiers. The dispersant remains effective even in the presence of formulation components. , triblock copolymer, PEG-30 dipolyhydroxystearate (PG-30D PHS), and the emulsifier is sold under the trade name "SURFOM 1323 SC" by Ox Tristy, an ethoxylated phosphate ester surfactant in acid form available from iteno The rheology modifier is arylphenol EO (ethylene oxide) phosphate. Surface modified smectite clays, referred to herein as organoclays. Table I Recovery of mesotrione in various samples of IA after 2 weeks of storage at 54°C The percentages are listed in Table II-B. Organoclay Systems Used as Rheology Modifiers The composition of the gel is given in Table III. [Table 2] [Table 3]

[0345] As is apparent from Tables II-A and II-B, mesotrione is completely absorbed into the oil continuous phase. When it is composed of acetochlor, it decomposes (sample 1), but the oil continuous phase is completely If the sample is composed mainly of hydrocarbons, it is substantially stable against decomposition (sample 2- Moreover, even in the presence of the formulation ingredients described above, mesotrione When the oil continuous phase is composed of hydrocarbons (sample 4) or hydrocarbons and acetochlor When the sample consisted of a specific mixture of 1,0 ... the stability was improved. However, when the oil phase is composed entirely of acetochlor (sample 9), , stability has not been improved. [Table 4]

[0346] Example 4 Glyphosate, an ionic herbicide active ingredient, and . A dielectrically modified oil suspension containing acetochlor was prepared. Table IV shows the results of this The oil continuous phase contains the oil-based active substances acetochlor and enolate. It contains a mixture of esters, isopropyl myristate, and has an induction rate of about 3.24 at 25°C. The bulk internal phase is solid glyphosate particles dispersed within the oil continuous phase. A Retsch PM400 ball mill was used to prepare the glyphosate solids in the oil suspension. It was used as a grinding device for grinding the body particles. The agent is a dialkyl sulfosuccinate surfactant (i.e., sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) (oxyl) sulfosuccinate) and ethoxylated phosphate ester surfactants (i.e. Listyrylphenol ethoxylate polyoxyethylene-16 phosphate ester ( tristrylphenol ethoxylate, polyoxyethyle The mixture of ne-16 phosphate ester was used in sample 3. The emulsifier is an ethoxylated ether amine surfactant (i.e., polyoxyethylene-5 isopropyl alcohol). The compound was tridecyloxypropylamine. [Table 5] [Table 6]

In Table VI, Sample 1 is described as a high dielectric suspo oil-in-oil emulsion. Samples 2 and 3 are high dielectric oil-in-oil co-oil suspension emulsions. The oil continuous phase comprises a mixture of light and heavy mineral oils. Birch has limited solubility in mineral oil, and acetochlor is an oily liquid. Nevertheless, it has limited miscibility with mineral oil. Sample 1 is composed of two bulk dispersed phases: That is, emulsified in the oil continuous phase are (i) a solution of dicamba in acetochlor (i.e. (ii) dicamba solids dissolved in acetochlor; and (iii) a dicamba solid dispersed in the oil continuous phase. In preparing Sample 1, the mesotrione was dispersed in water. The solid particles are first ground in a light mineral oil as a very thick oil dispersion, and the resulting oil The dispersion is then mixed with a mixture of light mineral oil and heavy oil. Retsch PM400 ball The mill is used as a grinding device for grinding the mesotrione solid particles in the preparation of the oil suspension. This is because the milling efficiency usually increases with increasing charge of granular material to be milled. The purpose of the experiment is to improve the grinding efficiency. Samples 2 and 3 also consist of two bulk Dispersed phase, i.e. emulsified in the oil continuous phase, (i) a solution of dicamba in acetochlor and (ii) solid particles of mesotrione in a silicone oil emulsified in said oil continuous phase. oil suspension (prepared using a Retsch PM400 ball mill), In particular, silicone oils that are made up of dimethicones with relatively high molecular weights have been shown to be effective against acetaldehyde. In addition to having limited compatibility with rolls, it also has limited compatibility with mineral oils. The emulsification of the oil-containing bulk internal phase was carried out using the milling device described above. As shown in the literature, when mesotrione is combined with acetochlor in a conventional oil dispersion composition ( For sample 1 in Table II-B, the recovery rate (%) of mesotrione after 2 weeks at 54°C was The oil dispersion compositions prepared in this example are shown in Table IX. When the material is used, the chemical stability is substantially improved. [Table 7] [Table 8] [Table 9] [Table 10]

[0352] Example 9 This example illustrates the use of a dicamba acid solution in the affinity solvent of Example 8. 1 shows the composition of the emulsion for the sotrione premix concentrate. The affinity solvent is a polar liquid (propylene glycol) or an oil (castor oil). Depending on the type, it may be used as an oil-in-oil co-emulsion or as a polar liquid-in-oil and oil-in-oil co-emulsion. The organoclay gels used in the preparation of these emulsions are The compositions for are given in Table XIX.

[0353] The emulsions described in Table XX were prepared as follows: (a) Combine the continuous phase ingredients in a suitable container and mix homogeneously using a dispersion blade agitator. A mixture was prepared; (b) Separately, combine the ingredients of Dispersed Phase 1 in a suitable container and mix thoroughly using a stirrer.
