  • the present invention further relates to a method of preparing such a formulation and to its use. It is known formulate agrochemical products in a range of different manners. One method employed is to microencapsulate one or more active ingredients, with the active ingredients held within microcapsules formed of a polymer wall.
  • the microcapsules may be further formulated, for example suspending the microcapsules in a suitable carrier liquid, for application to the locus to be treated.
  • Clomazone (2-[(2-chlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4-dimethyl- 3-isoxazolidinone) is a well-known for controlling soybean, cotton, cassava, corn, rapeseed, sugar cane, tobacco and other crops.
  • Clomazone has a strong inhibitory effect on the growth of such plants as barnyard grass, green foxtail, crabgrass, Solanum nigrum, Elsholtzia water spine needle, Thlaspi arvense, willow thorn smartweed, cocklebur, pigweed,wild watermelon seedlings, wolf grass and other annual grass and broadleaf weeds, perennial Cephalanoplos Daji, horsetail, Sonchus Caideng.

  • organic solvents such as toluene or xylene.
  • the application of such solvents to plants being treated is both a waste and is harmful to the environment.
  • clomazone has a relatively high vapour pressure, resulting in high rates of application being required to realize effective plant control, in turn leading to higher costs.
  • clomazone tends to drift from the locus of application, causing damage to crops or other plants in adjacent areas. In particular, the drift of clomazone droplets or vapour is phytotoxic to sensitive plants.
  • Spraying must employ low pressures, use larger amounts of water, be limited to low wind conditions, be limited to certain directions of prevailing wind, and be repeated, for example twice in a day.
  • Particularly sensitive crops, such as fruit trees and vegetables, cannot be subjected to aerial spraying.
  • microencapsulation of clomazone can be used to address and overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the EC formulations. As noted, such microencapsulation is known in the art.
