HERBICIDAL COMPOSITIONS COMTAIHIWG DIHITROANILIWE AND UREA DERIVATIVES This Invention relates to herbicide compositions comprising a dinltroanillne such as trifluralln and a urea herbicide such as linuron.
It has been known to supply these chemicals to 5. the farmer or other user as an emulsifiable concentrate but the choice of a solvent for the concentrate has presented difficulties. Whereas dinltroanilines such as trifluralln tend to dissolve readily in common aromatic solvents, urea components 10. such as linuron are not so easily dissolved. it has been proposed to use a mixture of dimethyl foraamide and xylene as a solvent for trifluralln and linuron, but it has been found that whan working emulsions have been prepared from an emulsifiable 15. concentrate comprising such a mixture, crystalline precipitates tend to form if the working emulsion is left for periods of time, such as overnight. In particularly bad cases, such precipitates can block nozzles of a spraying machine. Xn any case, the pre-20. cipitate will tend to settle at the bottom of, for example, the tank of a spraying machine and so the concentration of herbicide applied by the spraying machine will be reduced, thereby leading to less effective weed control.
It has now been found that ethyl amyl ketone can be used as a solvent for dinltroanillne herbicides and urea herbicides. A composition of a dinltroanillne * 2. herbicide, a urea herbicide and ethyl amyl ketone has been found not to cause a crystalline precipitate to be deposited for 24 hours.
According to a first aspect of the present Invention, there is provided an emulslfiable con-5t centrate or aqueous emulsion comprising a dinltroanillne compound of general formula U), *l y -HO 10. c,j 2 (X) in which R1 and R2 are the same or different and each 15. represents alkyl or alkenyl, a urea compound of general formula (II), 'A 20. R - **cc\ 4 (IX) in which R3 and R* are the same or different and each represents Cj_4 alkyl or Cj_4 alkoxy and R* represents hydrogen or up to five substituents each selected from 25. cl-4 ' cl-4 alko*y and halogen, and ethyl amyl ketone.
Xn general formula (X), R1 preferably represents 2 C2_3 alkyl and R preferably represents Cj ^ alkyl or C4 alkenyl. Xn general formula (XX), R^ preferably 30. represents a substituent in the 3 and/or 4 position.
Particularly preferred compounds of general formula (X) are benfluralin, trifluralln and ethal-fluralin, trifluralln being especially preferred. 3.
Particularly preferred compounds of general formula (II) are metoxuron, chlortoluron, isoproturon, linuron and neburon, linuron being especially preferred.
While compositions according to the invention nay comprise one compound of general formula (I) and one compound of general formula (II) the Invention also encompasses compositions having more than one compound of one or both general formulae.
In preferred compositions, the weight ratio lO. of the amount of compound (s) of formula (II) to the amount of ocmpound (s)of formula (I) is from 1:1 to 1:5, for example from 1:1 to 1:4, preferably from 1:1.25 to 1:3, particularly preferably 1:1.5 to 1:2.5. Typical such ratios are 1:2.1 and 1:2.3. 15. Compositions in accordance with the invention may also comprise other ingredients such as emulsifiers and aromatic solvents compatible with ethyl amyl ketone. Preferred emulsifiers Include anionic and non-ionic surfactants. Alkyl aryl ethoxylates and alkali 20. metal and alkaline earth salts of alkyl aryl sulphonic acids are particularly preferred. One or more emulsifiers may be present.
Aromatic solvents compatible with ethyl amyl ketone Include xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, mixtures 25. of alkyl benzene compounds and o-chlorotoluenes. One or more of such compounds may be present.
The present invention extends in a preferred aspect to an emulslfiable concentrate or aqueous emulsion comprising trifluralln, linuron, ethyl amyl 30. keto**«» an emulsifler and an aromatic solvent compatible with ethyl aayl ketone.
Compositions in accordance with the first 4. aspect of tha Invention auty be emulslfiable concentrates Which, can be nixed, at concentrations of 1.22 - 10.0% with water to form a working emulsion.
An aqueous emulsion in accordance with the invention 5. may be applied directly to agricultural land by the. farmer to control or eliminate weeds.
According to a second aspect of the present invention there is therefore provided a method of controlling or eliminating weeds in an area of land, 10. which, method comprises applying to the area an aqueous emulsion In accordance with the first aspect.
