Description
HERBICIDAL AGENTS BASED ON A COMBINATION OF
METAMITRON/ETHOFUMESATE/PHENMEDIPHAM/DESMEDIPHAM The invention relates to new finished formulations of the known herbicidal active substances metamitron + ethofumesate + (A) pheninediphan, or (B) phennedipham desmedipham or (C) desmedipham, preferably solid formulations such as water-dispersible powders (WP) and water-dispersible granules (WG), and their use as herbicides, in particular as selective beet herbicides.
Mixtures of these active compounds have previously been described, ditto tank mixes of a finished formulation of ethofumesate + phenmedipham with metamitron (cf. J. Marshall et al, 1987, British Crop Protection Conference Weeds (1), page 233-240), which have proved suitable in practice for selective combating of weeds in beet cultures. However, the disadvantage of these tank mixes is that the user has to mix the liquid finished formulation of ethofumesate + phenmedipham [tradename: &BETANALTANDEM, manufactured by Schering AG; an emulsion concentrate (EC) containing 94 g/1 of ethofumesate and 97 g/l of phenmedipham] or ethofumesate + phenmedipham + desmedipham [tradename: OBETANAL-PROGRESS, manufactured by Schering AG, an emulsion concentrate (EC) containing 128 g/l of ethofumesate, 62 g/1 of phenmedipham and 16 g/1 of desmedipham] and the solid metamitron preparation (tradename: OGOLTIX, manufactured by Bayer AG; WG, 70 %] when making up the spray mixture.
A finished formulation with a combination of these active compounds would therefore be advantageous for the user. However, it was not known to date in which manner such finished preparations can be structured since particular problems were to be expected regarding the relatively low melting point of ethofumesate and the incorporation of liquid additives, which might be necessary.
Surprisingly, finished formulations containing the technical-grade active compounds metamitron and ethofumesate and (A) phenmedipham (III)-and (B) phenmedipham (III) and desmedipham (IV) or (C) desmedipham (IV), were now successfully prepared. Solid combination preparations could be prepared, in some cases, using liquid emulsifiers. Particularly advantageous for agricultural practice are the new finished formulations in the form of water-dispersible granules (WG).
The invention therefore relates to new herbicidal agents in the form of finished formulations, containing a combination of the active compounds metamitron (I) and ethofumesate (II) and (A) phenmedipham (III) or (B) phenmedipham (III) and desmedipham (IV) or (C) desmedipham (IV), preferably in solid form such as water-dispersible powders (WP), or in the form of water-dispersible granules (WG), as a mixture with formulation auxiliaries, the ratio by weight of the active compounds Le A 27 649 (I):(II):(III) according to the combination (A) being (l):(0.05 to l):(0. 05 to 1), preferably (l):(0.1 to 0.4):(0.1 to 0.4), and particularly preferably (i):(0.1 to 0. 35): (0. 1 to 0. 3), and the ratio by weight of the active substances (I):(II):(III):(IV) according to combination (B) being (l):(0.05 to l):(0.05 to l):(0.05 to 1), preferably (l):(0.1 to 0. 4):(0.1 to 0.4):(0.1 to 0.4), and particularly preferably (l):(0.1 to 0. 4):(0.1 to 0.35):(0.1 to 0.25), the ratio by weight of the active compounds (I): (I1): (IV) according to combination (C) being (l):(0.05 to l):(0.05 to 1), preferably (l):("0.1 to 0.4):(0.1 to 0.4), and particularly preferably (l):(0.1 to 0.4):(0.1 to 0.3), the total active substance compound, both in the case of combination (A), that is to say (j)+(II)+(III) and for the combinations (B), that is to say (j)+(jj)+(III)+(IV), and (C), that is to say (j)+(II)+(IV) being between 20 and 75 % by weight, preferably between 30 and 70 % by weight.
Preferred solid formulations are formulations such as water-dispersible powders (WP) and water-dispersible granules (WG). Particularly preferred solid formulations are water-dispersible granules.
As has been found, the INTP formulations can be prepared in a surprisingly simple manner by mixing the active compounds with the formulation auxiliaries suitable for a WP formulation in the abovementioned ratio by weight, grinding the mixture (for example using a customary air- Le A 27 649 jet mill), followed by homogenising by remixing.
The WG formulations are obtained by (a) first preparing a premix from the active compounds (I), (II) and (III) or (I), (II), (III) and (IV) or (I), (II) and (IV) - in the abovementioned ratios by weight - and the formulation auxiliaries which are suitable for a WG formulation by mixing, grinding (expediently using a customary air-jet mill), followed by remixing, (b) then treating this premix with water in a fluidised- bed granulator in a customary manner, followed by drying at an inlet air temperature of 50-900C to a product temperature of 30-60C, and (c) separating the desired granules (having particle sizes between 200 and 1500 Am) by sieving, the too small particles (<200 Am) and the too large particles (>1500 Am) being separated off.
is As has furthermore been found, a particular - continuous - embodiment of the last-described process for the preparation of the WG formulations according to the invention consists in preparing a highly-concentrated suspension from the premix described above under (a) by adding about the same amount by weight of water with vigorous Le A 27 649 stirring, then feeding this suspension to a special granulation apparatus (as described in the - corresponding - patent documents EP-A-0,163,863 or DEAl-3,413,200) and continuously discharging the product formed, at a product temperature of 30-60C and an inlet air temperature of about 100-1250C.
The resulting product which, by virtue of the apparatus, is highly uniform (granules having a particle size of about 500 pm) needs no further sieving.
Each of the active compounds are employed in the form of the technicalgrade active compounds, for which the following melting points (m.p.) were determined:
metamitron (1) - m.p. 1660C E= 3-methyl-4-amino-6-phenyl-1,214-triazin5(4H)one]; ethofumesate (II) - m.p. 69'C [= 2-ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5- benzofuranyl methanesulfonate]; phenmedipha.m (III) - m.p. 1440C [= 3-methoxycarbonylaminophenyl-N-(31methylphenyl)carbanate].
Le A 27 649 desmedipham (IV) - m.p. 120'C [= 3-ethoxycarbonylaminophenyl-N-Dhenyl- carbamate All the relevant technical data of the active compounds can be seen from the specialist literature [cf., for example, The Pesticide Xanual, 8th ed. , published by The British Crop Protection Council, 1987, pages 353-354 in the case of (II), page 536 in the case of (I), pages 652-653 in the case of (III) and pages 242-243 in the case of (IV)].
The formulation auxiliaries required are certain carriers, dispersants and, if necessary, certain emulsifiers or wetting agents.
Suitable carriers are ground synthetic minerals such as aluminium oxide, silicates or silicic acids in connection with ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, quartz or attapulgite. In the case of the silicic acids, absorption or precipitation silicic acids have proved particularly useful.
is Preferred dispersing agents used are ligninsulphonates or alkylaryl sulphonates.
Preferred emulsifiers which were used and which were effective as additives were polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, silicone surfactants or polyols, and examples of wetting agents which can be used are condensation products of ethylene oxide with phenol. Condensation products of Le A 27 649 ethylene oxide with phenol emulsifiers.

For further details, reference is made to the preparation examples.
Bearing in mind the basic technical problems which had to be overcome in the preparation of the new solid finished formulations, especially the water-dispersible granules, the results achieved must be considered as surprising:
The preparation of a ground mixture of the active compound ethofumesate usually presents difficulties because of the low melting point of about 690C. In an air-jet mill, this results in blocked jets or caking in the grinding chamber. To date, the active compound has only been markpted in the form of a liquid formulation. However, in the mixtures described herein, the active Le A 27 649 compound ethofumesate in the combinations (A), (B) and (C) can be ground without problems. Above all, the grindability of the herbicide mixture is also retained when, in addition to the active compounds, a liquid emulsifier is used in the formulation, up to a content of about 10 %.
is In general, granulation of an active compound having a low melting point presents problems. Surprisingly, however, the premix with the active substances can be granulated without particular problems. Surprisingly, the premix can also be granulated when it contains a liquid emulsifier.
The granules obtained redisperse completely, even though up to about 10 % of highly-disperse silica are incorporated. This silica component usually does not completely redisperse after granulation.
Surprisingly, the same premix can be granulated by the customary processes, preferably in a powder process such as, for example, fluidisedbed granulation, or in a socalled slurry process, for example, spray drying. ("Slurry" means "concentrated aqueous suspension").
Surprisingly, the (pre)mixture can also be ground and, if desired, subsequently granulated when the liquid emulsifier and the active compound metamitron (I) have previously been molten together at 16CC without degradation of active compound.
Le A 27 649 Furthermore, it has been found that the finished formulations according to the invention, in particular the new WG f ormulations. are outstandingly suitable f or selective combating of weeds. in particular in beet cultures.
The new finished formulations prove to be high-quality preparations which meet the requirements of practice and have a broad range of activity, for combating dicotyledon and monocotyledon harmful plants including problem weeds such as Mercurialis annua and Galium aparine in beet cultures.
Surprisingly, it has emerged in corresponding comparison trials that the WG formulations according to the invention are superior to the known tank mixes in some cases as regards their action and in some cases as regards their compatibility, and hence have additional advantages compared with the prior art.
Moreover, the new finished formulations can also be employed as selective herbicides in cultures of Beta beets, strawberries, mangel-wurzel, spinach and other fruit and vegetable cultures.
Other typical weeds which may be mentioned which can occur in the abovementioned cultures and which can be combated successfully with the agents according to the invention are the following:
Dicotyledon weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Le A 27 649 Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea, Trifolium. Ranunculus, Taraxacum.
Monocotyledon weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus, Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis, Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus, Apera.
The application rates of active compound correspond to the amounts of active compound applied in practice when the previously known tank mixes are used, in each case based on the same unit area.
It is particularly important for the user in agricultural practice that the new WG formulations have substantial technical advantages compared with other formulations of the same active compounds:
for example, packaging is simpler (can be emptied without leaving residues and hence disposed of without problems, while the amount of packaging material is considerably reduced); the granules can be measured by volume, and there is no dust formation or splashing of the concentrate Le A 27 649 when the spray mixtures are made up; the new solid formulations are completely free from solvents compared with the known emulsion concentrates (EC).
The action of a leaf-acting herbicidal agent can be increased by adding an emulsifier. Such an additive is customarily added in large amounts in a tank mix. Surprisingly, only a small amount of about 5-10 % of the emulsifier used in the finished formulation according to the invention is sufficient for obtaining an increase of action of the preparations described herein.
The preparation and use examples which follow are intended to further illustrate the invention.
A) Preparation Examples Examples of the preparation of the WG finished formulations according to the invention of metamitron & ethofumesate & phenmedipham.
A premixture was prepared from the components listed in Table 1 below by mixing, grinding the mixture in an airjet mill, followed by remixing.
Each of these premixtures was treated with water in a fluidised-bed granulator manufactured by Aeromatik (Strea 1) in the customary manner and subsequently dried to a product temperature of 40C at an inlet air temperature of 68C. The too small particles (<200 ym) and the Le A 27 649 - is too large particles (>1500 pm) were subsequently sieved off from the product obtained.
When the formulations WG-3, WG-5 and WG-7 were prepared, a suspension was prepared in each case using 3. 0 kg of premixture and 3.0 1 of water. This suspension was fed into an apparatus described in Patent Document DEA-3,413,200 or EP-A-0,163,863. The product was continuously discharged at a product temperature of 40C and at an inlet air temperature of 1100C. Sieving of the product obtained, granqles about 500 pm in size, was no longer necessary due to the apparatus.
In the WG formulations described in Table 1, the ratio by weight of the active compounds is (I):(II):(III) = 1:0.132:0.136 in the case of WG 1 to 10 (I):(II):(III) = 1:0.270:0.279 in the case of WG 11.
The same is also true for all use examples which follow.
