Definitions

  • This invention pertains to herbicidal compositions having included therein surfactants that can enhance the biological activity of low dose herbicides and can be formulated in a dry form.
  • Herbicides are used to control unwanted plant vegetation and are widely recognized as essential components in the efficient production of food. It is desirable to keep the herbicide rates low to minimize cost and to minimize adverse environmental effects caused by off-target movements or residues left in the crop or soil.
  • Adjuvants for Agrichemicals, CRC Press, Boca Raton. These adjuvants can be included in the herbicide formulation or can be added to the spray mixture. Adjuvants that increase biological activity include certain crop oil concentrates, certain surfactants, and certain ammonium-based inorganic salts or fertilizer. The oil in the crop oil concentrate adjuvants can be vegetable oil, modified vegetable oil (usually esters or salts of fatty acids), or mineral (petroleum) oils. Adjuvants allow herbicides to be used at low rates and allow control of more species than if the herbicide was used alone. This effect is described by Green, J. M. and Green, J. H. (1993): Weed Technology 7:633-640.
  • Adjuvants are used at various dosages depending on adjuvant type and standard practices, which vary by geographical location. For example, use recommendations for crop oil concentrate adjuvants most commonly range from 0.5% to 1% of the spray volume. The 0.5% concentration is common in Europe and 1% is common in the U.S. with some label recommendations as high as 2%. When added directly to the spray tank, certain surfactants are used at 0.25% of the spray volume in the U.S. and as low as 0.1% in Europe. The surfactant and crop oil concentrate adjuvants currently in use are liquids or low melting solids that are incompatible with dry herbicide formulations and must be packaged separately. In the U.S., ammonium fertilizers are commonly used as adjuvants to enhance herbicide activity at concentrations of 2 to 4% of spray volume.
  • This invention concerns a herbicidal composition
  • a herbicidal composition comprising at least one low-dose herbicide; at least one surfactant selected from Formulae I, II and III including stereoisomers,
  • each of R, R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 and R 7 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, M or (CH 2 CH 2 O) x CH2(CH2) y CH3;
  • This invention pertains to the use of certain alkyl ether citrate, tartrate and adipate surfactants for enhancing biological activity of low-dose agricultural herbicides.
  • a low-dose herbicide is defined in the context of this disclosure to be a herbicide that is efficacious for control of undesired vegetation at application rates of less than 100 g a.i./ha.
  • the alkyl ether citrate, tartrate or adipate compounds of Formula I, II or III provide a high unit activity to these herbicides compared to the same agricultural herbicides applied alone.
  • These surfactants surprisingly provide the enhanced biological effect at doses lower than is generally needed with common surfactants.
  • the surfactants of Formula I, II or III are remarkably effective, they can be included in formulated compositions of low-dose herbicides in sufficient amount to enhance the biological effect without the grower or farmer needing to add additional adjuvants to the spray tank.
  • Certain salts and certain highly ethoxylated forms of the surfactants of Formula I, II, or III are solids and therefore particularly useful in solid types of formulations.
  • the low-dose herbicide is selected from acetolactate synthase inhibiting herbicides, protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibiting herbicides, /7-hydroxyphenylpyruvate deoxygenase inhibiting herbicides, and combinations thereof. More preferred is the composition wherein the low-dose herbicide is an acetolactate synthase inhibiting herbicide. Most preferred is the composition wherein the acetolactate synthase-inhibiting herbicide is selected from the group consisting of thifensulfuron-methyl, rimsulfuron and nicosulfuron; and mixtures thereof.
  • Preferred is a composition composed of herbicide granules and surfactant granules, the herbicide and optionally at least one additive comprising the herbicide granules; and at least one compound selected from Formula I, II and III, and optionally at least one additive comprising the surfactant granules.
  • composition wherein the surfactant is of Formula I. More preferred is the composition wherein the surfactant is of Formula la, lb or Ic: O
  • Ic wherein x is 17, y is an integer 14 to 16, and M is K + , Na + or NH,4 + .
  • the concentration of the at least one surfactant and any adjuvant additive is about 0.01 to about 0.1% of the spray volume.
  • the mono-ethoxylated surfactants of Formula la, the tri-ethoxylated surfactants of Formula lb and the C ⁇ g alkyl citrate surfactants of Formula Ic are commercially available from Witco Corporation, Greenwich, CT. More generally, surfactants of Formulae I, II and III are prepared by condensing the corresponding free carboxylic acids with CH3(CH 2 ) y O(CH 2 CH2 ⁇ ) x H.
  • the resulting average number of carboxylic acid groups per molecule esterified with CH3(CH2) y O(CH2CH 2 O) x H depends upon the ratio of the number of moles of CH3(CH 2 ) y O(CH CH 2 O) x H to the number of moles of the starting free carboxylic acid.
  • the mole ratio of starting CH3(CH2) y O(CH 2 CH 2 O) x H to free carboxylic acid is about 1 :1.
  • the mole ratio of CH 3 (CH2) y O(CH2CH2 ⁇ ) x H to starting free carboxylic acid is correspondingly increased.
  • the esterification condensation reaction is accelerated by heating and catalysis using strong protic acids, such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, /?-toluenesulfonic acid and sulfonic acid resins, or Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride and butyltin hydroxide oxide hydrate.
  • strong protic acids such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, /?-toluenesulfonic acid and sulfonic acid resins, or Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride and butyltin hydroxide oxide hydrate.
  • Surfactants of Formulae I, II and III can exist as stereoisomers.
  • the various stereoisomers include enantiomers and diastereomers.
  • surfactant properties of stereoisomers are generally similar, some variation is possible between diastereomers.
  • physical properties important to formulations, such as melting points typically differ somewhat between pure enantiomers and racemic mixtures.
  • Racemic mixtures usually, but not always, have higher melting points and lower solubilities than the separated enantiomers.
  • the skilled artisan knows how to separate, enrich, and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers.
  • the surfactants of Formula I, II and III may be present in the compositions of this invention as a mixture of stereoisomers or as a single stereoisomer. Salts of Formulae I, II and III wherein at least one of R, R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 or R 7 is M are very useful surfactants for this invention, because they are often solids. Each M is independently an organic or inorganic cation.
  • Organic cations include, for example, isopropylammonium, triethylammonium, tetra-n-butylammonium, benzyltrimethylammonium and trimethylsulfonium.
  • Inorganic cations include, for example, lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, barium and ammonium. Sodium, potassium and ammonium are preferred cations for this invention because of their low cost and solid-promoting ability.
  • Salts of Formulae I, II and III wherein at least one of R, R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 or R 7 is M can be prepared by reacting the corresponding acid forms of Formulae I, II and III with amines (e.g., treatment with triethylamine to give the triethylammonium salt) or with bases such as hydrides, hydroxides, alkoxides or carbonates of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, barium or quaternary ammonium.
  • Ammonium salts can be prepared by treatment with anhydrous ammonia or ammonia dissolved in water (i.e. ammonium hydroxide).
  • the desired effect of enhancement of herbicide activity may be obtained by use of at least one of the citrate, tartrate, or adipate based surfactants of Formula I, II or III, by a combination thereof, or by a combination of said citrate, tartrate, or adipate based surfactants of Formula I, II or III with one or more other adjuvants known to enhance herbicidal activity.
  • Preferred low-dose herbicides of the present invention are selected from the group consisting of acetolactate synthase inhibiting herbicides, protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibiting herbicides, -hydroxyphenylpyruvate deoxygenase inhibiting herbicides, and combinations thereof.
