Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[001] The present invention relates to tertiary compositions active as herbicides, comprising (a) 5-ethyl-2 - [(RS) -4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2 acid -il] nicotinic (common name: imazetapyr) and 2- [(RS) -4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl] -5-methoxymethylnicotinic acid (common name: imazamox) and (b) at least one herbicide selected from the group consisting of 5- (2-chloro-α, α, α-trifluoro-p-tolyl0xi) -N-mesyl-2-nitrobenzamide (common name: fomesafen), 2 ', 4'-dichloro-5' - (4-difluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) methanesulfonanilide (common name: sulfentrazone) and 3-isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4 (3H) -one 2,2-dioxide (common name: bentazone).

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[002] In plantation protection, it is desirable, in principle, to increase the specificity and reliability of the action of the active compounds. In particular, it is desirable that the plant protection product effectively control weeds and, at the same time, be tolerated by the useful plants in question.

[003] 5-ethyl-2 - [(RS) -4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-imidazolin-2-yl] nicotinic acid (common name: imazetapyr; formula I) is an active compound in the group of imidazolinone herbicides, which are known, for example, by Shaner, DL, O'Conner, SL, The Imidazolinone Herbicides, CRC Press Inc., Boca Raton, Florida 1991 and also by The Compendium of Pesticide Common Names, http: // www.alanwood.net/pesticides/.

[004] 2 - [(RS) -4-Isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl] -5-methoxymethylnicotinic acid (common name: imazamox; formula II) is an active compound in the group of imidazolinone herbicides that are known, for example, through Shaner, DL, O'Conner, SL, The Imidazolinone Herbicides, CRC Press Inc., Boca Raton, Florida 1991 and also through The Compendium of Pesticide Common Names, http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/.

[005] 5- (2-chloro-α, α, α-trifluoro-p-tolyl0xi) -N-mesyl-2-nitrobenzamide (common name: fomesafen; formula III) is an active compound that inhibits protoporphyrinogene IX oxidase (PPO ).

[006] 2 ', 4'-dichloro-5' - (4-difluoromethyl-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) methanesulfonanilide (common name: sulfentrazone; formula IV) is an active compound that inhibits protoporphyrinogene IX oxidase (PPO).

[007] 2,2-3-Isopropyl-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4 (3H) -one (common name: bentazone; formula V) is an active compound in the thiadiazine herbicide group.

[008] Herbicide combinations of imazetapyr and imazamox are known to be highly effective as pre- and post-emergency herbicides; this combination is marketed, for example, under the trademark Odyssey®. In some cases, these combinations do not provide sufficient control of the relevant weeds and their activity at low application rates is not always satisfactory. Despite this, their compatibility with certain dicotyledonous producing plants such as soybeans, peanuts and other legume or grain plantations is not always satisfactory, that is, in addition to weeds, production vegetables are also impaired to an extent that is not acceptable. Although it is possible, in principle, to save production plants by reducing application rates, the degree of weed control is naturally also reduced.

The composition should also have good pre-emergence herbicidal activity.

[0010] We consider that this object can be achieved by compositions active as herbicides that comprise: a. the combination of imazetapyr, its acceptable salts for agricultural use and imazamox, its acceptable salts for agricultural use (collectively, hereinafter also called herbicides A); and b. at least one herbicide B selected from the group of fomesafen, its acceptable salts for agricultural use, sulfentrazone, its acceptable salts for agricultural use and bentazone and its acceptable salts for agricultural use.

[0011] The present invention relates particularly to compositions in the form of herbicidally active compositions as defined above.

[0012] The present invention furthermore relates to the use of compositions as defined herein to control unwanted vegetation in plantations. When using the compositions according to the present invention for this purpose, herbicide A and at least one herbicide B can be applied simultaneously or successively in plantations in which undesirable vegetation can occur.

[0013] The present invention also relates to the use of compositions as defined herein to control undesirable vegetation in plantations that, through genetic modification or crossing, are tolerant to one or more herbicides, such as herbicides that inhibit acetohydroxy acid. synthase, such as imazetapyr, and / or pathogens such as fungi of plant pathogens and / or insect attack; preferably tolerant to one or more herbicides that act as acetohydroxy acid synthase inhibitors.

[0014] The present invention relates to a method of controlling undesirable vegetation, which comprises applying a herbicidal composition according to the present invention to undesirable plants. The application can be done before, during and / or after, preferably during and / or after, the emergence of unwanted vegetables. Herbicide A and at least one herbicide B can be applied simultaneously or in succession.

[0015] The present invention relates particularly to a method of controlling unwanted vegetation in plantations, which comprises the application of a herbicidal composition according to the present invention to plantations in which undesired vegetation occurs or may occur.

[0016] The present invention also relates to a method of controlling unwanted vegetation, which comprises the maintenance of a composition according to the present invention acting on vegetables, their habitat or seeds.

[0017] In the methods according to the present invention, it is irrelevant whether the combination of herbicide A and at least one herbicide B is formulated and applied together or separately and, in the case of separate application, in which order the application occurs. It is only necessary that the combination of herbicide A and at least one herbicide B be applied in a time frame that allows the simultaneous action of the active ingredients on the plants.

[0018] In the methods according to the present invention, it is still irrelevant whether the components of herbicide A, ie imazetapyr and imazamox, and the at least one herbicide are formulated and applied together or separately and, in the case of separate application , in which order the application occurs. It is only necessary that the components of herbicide A and at least one herbicide B be applied within a time that allows the simultaneous action of the active ingredients on the plants.

[0019] The present invention also relates to a herbicidal formulation, which comprises an active composition as a herbicide as defined herein and at least one carrier material, which includes liquid and / or solid carrier materials.

[0020] The compositions according to the present invention are believed to have better herbicidal activity against weeds than expected by the herbicidal activity of the individual compounds. In other words, the combined action of the combination of imazetapyr + imazamox and at least one herbicide B results in enhanced activity against weeds in the sense of a synergistic effect (synergy). For this reason, the compositions can, based on the individual components, be used at lower application rates to obtain herbicidal effect comparable to the individual components. The compositions according to the present invention also exhibit accelerated action on weeds, that is, damage to weeds is achieved more quickly compared to the application of individual herbicides. In addition, the compositions according to the present invention provide good pre-emergence herbicidal activity, that is, the compositions are particularly useful in combating / controlling weeds before their emergence. Despite this, the compositions according to the present invention demonstrate good compatibility with the plantations, that is, their use in plantations generates reduced damage to the production plants.
