Description

[0001]A STABLE INSECTICIDAL COMPOSITION AND PREPARATION PROCESS THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the field of agricultural pesticides and, more particularly, to a stable insecticidal composition and process of preparation thereof. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Controlling invertebrate pests is essential for improved crop efficiency in economically important crops. These pest not only inflict damage on growing and harvested agronomic crops but also lead substantial reductions in crop yields. The pest management strategies to manage invertebrate pests involve using single active components or mixtures of two or more active compounds. However, there remains a significant demand for more cost-effective and stable insecticidal compositions. Further, repeated and prolonged application of single compounds often leads to the development of resistance against the active compounds. Normally, such pests develop cross- resistance against other actives with the same or similar mode of action. Hence, there is a need for combinations of actives belonging to different classes and groups to allow for a broader disease control spectrum that combines curative and preventive actives and is stable. There is an urgent need for a stable, synergistic, and environment friendly insecticidal composition. The composition should provide effective control across a wide array of insect pests, thereby preventing the emergence of resistant strains. Furthermore, it should also offer a broad-spectrum activity that minimizes the number of chemicals applied in fields, aligning with sustainable agricultural practices. Another critical factor for the composition is their stability under diverse environmental conditions, including the ability to remain effective at low temperatures where conventional actives may degrade or perform sub-optimally. This stability ensures that the composition's efficacy is preserved from the point of manufacture through to application, irrespective of climatic variations. The present invention provides a composition that not only counteracts the resilience tactics of pests through a multi-class active strategy but also ensures consistent performance across a comprehensive temperature spectrum. OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION The primary objective of the invention is to provide an insecticidal composition with an improved spectrum of activity. Another objective of the present invention is to provide insecticidal composition for resistance management.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a process for preparation of the synergistic insecticidal composition. Another objective of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling pests and diseases in agriculture.

A dispersant, also known as a dispersing agent, is a substance that adsorbs onto the surface of particles, preserving their dispersion and preventing them from reaggregating. Dispersants are added to agrochemical formulations to aid in particle dispersion and suspension during manufacturing, as well as to ensure particles re-disperse in water in a spray tank. They're a common ingredient in wettable powders, suspension concentrates, and water-dispersible granules. Surfactants used as dispersants have the ability to strongly adsorb onto a particle surface and offer a charged or steric barrier to particle re-aggregation. Surfactants that are often employed are anionic, non-ionic, or mixes of the two. Sodium lingo sulphonates are the most often used dispersants in wettable powder compositions.

Water-based formulations often cause foam during mixing operations in production. In order to reduce the tendency for foaming, anti-foaming agents are often added either during the production stage or before filling bottles. Generally, there are two types of anti- foaming agents, namely silicones and non-silicones. Silicones are usually aqueous emulsions of dimethyl polysiloxane, while the non-silicone anti-foam agents are water-insoluble oils, such as octanol and nonanol, or silica. In both cases, the function of the anti-foam agent is to displace the surfactant from the air-water interface. Antifoaming agent(s) may be selected from the group comprising, but not limited to, silicon emulsion based anti-foam agents, Siloxane poly alkylene oxide, Poly dimethyl Siloxane, tri siloxane ethoxylates, and mixtures thereof.

The experimental design followed a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications. Each plot covered an area of 25 square meters for precise measurements. As per the treatment schedule, the test samples were applied at pest appearance using 500 litres of water per hectare with a knapsack sprayer. Observation Pre-count Pest observation was taken before the spray application. Pest counts were recorded by randomly selecting five plants per replication and noting insect population for each replication. Observations were recorded on the 5th, 10th, and 15thdays after the spray application. Table 22: Effectiveness of different treatments against Paddy Stem Borer.

However, after 7 DAA, all the treatments showed a significant reduction in the population of aphids compared to the control. Amongst all the treatments, Dinotefuran 220 + Bifenthrin 55 g / L EC (ES) at 750 ml and 500 ml doses was the most effective for the reduction of cotton bollworm population.

Further, as evident from tables 54, 55 and 56, the application of Dinotefuran 220 + Bifenthrin 55 g / l EC (ES) at even double dose shows no phytotoxicity. Thus, applying the present invention composition may be considered completely safe for cotton crops.

No sign of crystallization or phase separation was observed, and have excellent water miscibility, confirming the emulsifiable properties. Moreover, the samples stored below 10°C remained liquid throughout the testing period, confirming the stability.

The composition maintains stable liquid forms, indicative of successful emulsification, allowing for effective delivery of active ingredients without the risk of degradation due to temperature fluctuations. These properties make the formulations particularly suitable for agricultural applications where low-temperature stability is critical.

Examples 1 and 2 (present invention composition) having the ES, the compositions were remarkable stability across all tested temperatures: 25°C, 10°C, 5°C, 0°C, and -10°C. The compositions (examples 1 and 2) were clear, transparent liquid appearance, characterized by a yellow Color, indicating their robustness under the specified conditions. In contrast, the example 7 (composition without ES) showed noticeable haziness and phase separation at the various temperatures (25°C, 10°C, 5°C, 0°C, and -10°C), thus confirming that said composition was unstable and lacks compatibility. Therefore, it is evident that the present invention composition with ES is stable across various temperatures, has a desirable appearance, and extends its shelf life. Further evaluation of the above compositions for stability at 0°C and -10°C, and solubility in water. Table 60: Stability at 0°C and -10°C, and solubility in water.

The composition of the present invention (examples 1 and 2), formulated with ES, had excellent stability, and the emulsions maintained their desired characteristics and showed no signs of instability, demonstrating their resilience at lower temperatures. However, example 7 (composition without ES) had multiple issues, such as compatibility problems, stability concerns, and evidence of crystallization within the emulsion. Such challenges indicate a marked deterioration in performance when the compositions are prepared without the ES, emphasizing the critical role that ES plays in enhancing the stability and overall quality of the emulsions. From the foregoing it will be observed that numerous modifications and variations can be effectuated without departing from the true spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. It is to be understood that no limitations with respect to the specific embodiments illustrated is intended or should be inferred. It should be understood that all such modifications and improvements have been deleted herein for the sake of conciseness and readability but are properly within the scope of the following claims.
