Description

AQUEOUS HERBICIDE CONCENTRATE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to stable aqueous herbicide
concentrate compositions containing potassium, ammonium or isopropylamine salts of glyphosate and anionic esters of alkyl polyglycosides containing a salified sulfonic acid group.
BACKGROUND OF THE ART
Agrochemical active ingredients - according to the characteristics of the actives and of their intended applications - can be formulated as dusts, wettable powders, dispersible granules, suspension concentrates, emulsions and concentrated solutions, and their application as formulated products is generally carried out with aqueous spray in the form of solution, suspension or emulsion.
Surfactants are commonly used in order to disperse and suspend the solid substances, or to emulsify the oily liquids in water, forming stable suspensions or emulsions. The surfactants help the formation of aqueous dispersions of compounds insoluble in water. Moreover the surfactants reduce the interface tension between aqueous spray and the material (soil, seeds, foliage) to be treated, thus favoring the spreading of droplets on the treated surface and the penetration of the active ingredient into the materials. Among surfactants, which can be used for the afore mentioned purposes, aliphatic nonionic alkylpolyglycosides have been known for a long time. These materials offer several advantages due to their low toxicity and good biodegradability, especially if compared with the ethoxylated fatty amines, which are widely used as adjuvant for glyphosate but create concern for their aquatic toxicity. Due to these features, the organic polyglycosides provide, in agrochemical formulations and applications, a wider spectrum of functions, since other equivalent traditional adjuvants are normally used only as wetting agents and/or emulsifiers.
For instance, US 4,888,325 describes pesticide compositions that contain alkylglycosides, alone or in combination with other surfactants.
However, such compositions show weak wetting performance and cannot sufficiently reduce the interfacial tension between the aqueous spray and the material on which said spray are applied. US 5,385,750 describes the use of aliphatic alkylpolyglycosides as co-adjuvant in pesticide formulations in combination with a fatty alcohol.
According to US 5,385,750 the addition of a fatty alcohol to the alkylpolyglycosides increases its wetting performance, favoring the penetration of the pesticide active ingredient into biological materials, even when the treated surface layers are waxy or oily as in the case of foliage.
On the other hand, the presence of a fatty alcohol creates considerable drawbacks: it gives bad odors and causes a noticeable lowering of the emulsifying ability of the
alkylpolyglycosides.
It is known from EP 1 179 979 how to obtain agrochemical compositions based on anionic alkylpolyglycosides that have better wetting properties and maintain suitable emulsifying characteristic, without the above described disadvantages of the nonionic alkylpolyglycosides.
US 7,310,990 (corresponding to US 2005/032049) describes herbicidal formulations containing high concentrations of glyphosate monomethylamine or dimethylamine salt and one or more surfactants selected from a long list of nonionic, ionic and cationic surfactants. Both nonionic alkylpolyglycosides and anionic ester derivatives of alkylpolyglycosides, in particular the citrate and tartrate esters, are used in the examples for the preparation of concentrated formulations of these specific glyphosate salts, which exhibit high stability and significantly lower viscosity at high concentrations.
Anionic esters of alkylpolyglucosides bearing a (not better detailed) residue from sulfosuccinic acid are also reported among the utilizαble surfactants, but they are not exemplified nor preferred.
We have now discovered that concentrated aqueous
formulations of potassium, ammonium and isopropylamine salts of N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine (glyphosate) comprising specific non-polyalkoxylated anionic esters of alkyl polyglycosides containing a salified sulfonic acid group are stable and can incorporate a higher amount of the anionic ester of
alkylpolyglycosides; moreover they can be used to prepare in locus diluted sprayable formulations, without showing the crystallization problems that rise with other surfactants.
This is especially surprising in view of the fact that concentrated formulations containing the potassium, ammonium and
isopropylamine salts of N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine (glyphosate) and an anionic ester of alkylpolyglycosides derived from citric and tartaric acid show poor stability.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is therefore an object of the present invention an aqueous herbicide composition containing from 100 to 750 g/l (as acid equivalent) of potassium, ammonium or isopropylamine salts of glyphosate and from 1 to 50%, preferably from 2 to 20%, by weight of anionic esters of linear or branched C0-C20 alkylpolyglycosides having the formula (I): MO3S - CH (CH2-COORi) - COOR2 wherein:
M is απ organic or inorganic cation such as Na, K, NH4 or mono-, di-, tri-alkanolammonium or mixture thereof;
Ri is the group:
R - (CH(OH) - CH2)m- O - (Z)p - which is connected to the acyl group through the residue Z, and wherein
Z represents the residue of a hexose, pentose or sorbitol,
R is an alkyl containing from 6 to 20 carbon atoms,
m is 0 or 1 ,
p is a number from 1 to 10;
R2 is M or Ri .
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The aqueous herbicide concentrate of the present invention comprises at least 10% by weight, preferably from 20 to 60% by weight, of water.
Preferably, in formula (I) M is Na or K, R is a linear or branched alkyl group containing from 8 to 14 carbon atoms, Z is the residue of glucose, m is 0 and p is between 1 and 5.
The anionic esters of linear or branched CO-C2O alkylpolyglycosides having the formula (I) are known from EP 510565; they may be prepared by a process that comprises the sulfoπatioπ of the correspondent maleic diesters or monoesters of the formula:
R2OC(O)-CH=CH-COORI
as described in more detail in the same patent.
In the most preferred embodiment, the anionic esters of
alkylpolyglycosides are synthesized from alkylpolyglucosides having an average degree of polymerization between 1.0 and 2.5, i.e., preferably, in formula (I) p is between 1.0 and 2.5. This anionic esters are environmentally friendly and derived from renewable resources.
In the preferred embodiments the aqueous herbicide concentrate is a homogeneous solution and comprises from 300 to 700 g/l, more preferably from 400 to 655 g/l (as acid equivalent), of potassium, ammonium or isopropylamine salts of glyphosate.
The aqueous herbicide composition of the invention may further contain:
• other surfactants, such as nonionic alkylpolyglycosides, ethoxylated fatty alcohols, anionic esters of fatty alcohols, Cό-Cis alkyldimethyl betaine.
• other herbicides, such as salts of glufosinate, bentazon, 2,4-
D, dicamba, MCPA, MCPP, MCPB, amitrol, metconazol, clopyralid, dichlorprop, imazalil, picloram, and mixtures thereof; • water soluble organic solvents, such as glycerol ethylene glycol propylenglycole, dipropylene glycol methyl ether (Dowanol DPM), dipropylene glycol, butyldiglycol
dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dibutoxymethane (butylal), methanol, ethanol isopropanol ethyl lactate (purasolv), propylene carbonate and mixture thereof;
• other usual additives of agrochemical compositions, such as antifoam agents, antifreeze agents, dyes, stabilizers, buffers, thickeners, flow enhancers, wetting agents, lubricants, fillers, drift control agents, deposition enhancers, evaporation retardants and the like.
The aqueous herbicide compositions according to the invention are useful for the treatment of plants and of any other biologic material which requires the application of herbicides.
Preferably, said concentrated herbicide composition is used in diluted form, as aqueous spray formulations which include from 0.001% to 3% of active ingredient and, optionally, other
concentrated preparations of active ingredients, micronutrients, other surfactants and/or other additives commonly used in the agrochemical compositions.
The Applicant has found that, in aqueous spray herbicide formulations, the use of anionic esters of alkylpolyglycoside containing a salified sulfonic acid group according to formula (I) can help the formation of a homogeneous dispersion of the herbicide in water, thus accelerating the penetration of active ingredient in the treated biological materials .
Optionally, the aqueous spray formulations can also include drift control agents, humectants, corrosion inhibitors, microbial inhibitors, pH adjusters, anti-foam agents or mixture thereof.
The following Examples serve to illustrate the stability of
concentrated aqueous herbicide compositions according to the invention. A comparison is made with analogous compositions prepared from known anionic alkylpolyglycosides and from other surfactants that are known to efficiently perform as stabilizer of concentrated glyphosate compositions.
