Such compositions are storage stable and contain desirable dispersion properties.

Description

WATER DISPERSIBLE GRANULAR HERBICIDAL COMPOS ITIONS

Water dispersible granules (WDG's) are becoming increasingly important in the formulation of S agricultural compositions because they are more safely handled and environmentally friendly than other commonly used formulations. For example, chemical spills of WDG's are easily cleaned, no toxic solvents are present in the WDG formulation, and it is possible to package WDG's in water soluble packaging, thus reducing user exposure.
Dinitroaniline herbicides, which are useful for the selective control of certain grasses and broadleaf weeds, have typically been formulated as emulsifiable concentrates, flowables, wettable powders or the like, which are diluted in a tank mix. These formulations, however, require handling, measuring and mixing prior to application to the soil.

- 213~412 Conventional dispersible granular compositions containing dinitroaniline herbicides have been difficult to prepare. Such herbicides, which are solid at room temperature but have melting points below 100C
, have a tendency to cake, fuse or lump up when stored at or exposed to elevated temperatures, due to the excessive softening or partial melting of the herbicides. Moreover, they are often dusty and may cause staining.
The imidazolinone class of herbicides, such as imazaquin, imazethapyr, imazamethapyr and imazamethabenz-methyl, are highly desirable for the selective control of a wide variety of grass and broadleaf weeds in the presence of agricultural crops at exceptionally low rates of application. At present, imidazolinone herbicides are commercially available mainly in the form of liquid compositions.
The present invention relates to water dispersible granular compositions comprising a dinitroaniline herbicide, alone, or in combination with an imidazolinone herbicide, and a dispersion enhancing agent, and to a process for the preparation of said compositions. Such compositions are storage stable and contain desirable dispersion properties.
This invention provides a novel formulation of useful dinitroaniline herbicides, alone, or in combination with imidazolinone herbicides, as water dispersible granular compositions (WDG's), which offer ease of handling coupled with reduced dusting, and other environmentally desirable characteristics.
A primary concern when formulating WDG's is that the granules disperse in an acceptable amount of time.
Of the conventional carriers typically considered, bentonite was among the least desirable with which to formulate a WDG because the granules are difficult to disperse. However, it has now been found that extruding the WDG with a dispersion enhancing agent 2i;~7412 permits the use of bentonite because of its compatibility with low-melt, active ingredients, such as dinitroaniline compounds. Advantageously, the use of bentonite minimizes the loss of the physical performance attributes of low-melt, active ingredients, such as dinitroanilines, compared to most other typical carriers. At the same time, such a stable formulation permits the coformulation of a dinitroaniline herbicide and an imidazolinone herbicide, thereby benefiting from the desirable and complementary properties of each active ingredient.
As used herein, the term "dispersion enhancing agent" means a chemical entity that facilitates the swelling and dispersing of the bentonite or other suitable carrier component of the WDG composition of the invention. Typically, such dispersion enhancing agents are selected from bases, such as alkali metal hydroxides and amines, and water swellable polymers, including cellulosic materials.
It has now been found that extrudable granulated herbicidal compositions comprising a dinitroaniline herbicide, alone, or in combination with and an imidazolinone herbicide, and a dispersion enhancing agent, can be formulated to possess improved suspendability and dispersibility. Such a discovery takes advantage of the beneficial properties of many components while minimizing potential incompatibility.
In a preferred embodiment, the present invention relates to water-dispersible granular compositions comprising a dinitroaniline herbicide of structural formula (I) ;~374t.~

N
2~ r~o2 wherein R1 is selected from H, C1-C4 straight or branched-chain alkyl, C3-C4alkenyl and C3-C4alkynyl;
R2 is selected from Cl-C6 straight or branched-chain alkyl and optionally substituted with Cl or OCH3, C3-C4 alkenyl, and C3-C4alkynyl; R3 is H, CH3 or CH2OCH3; and R4 is C1-C4alkyl, CF3 or Cl, alone, or in combination with an imidazolinone herbicide. The imidazolinone herbicide may be any of the imidazolinone compounds known in the art such as those described in United States patents 4,798,619; 4,772,311; 5,039,333;
5,108,485; and in EP 254,951 and EP 322,616.
Preferably, the imidazolinone herbicide is selected from imazaquin, imazapyr, imazethapyr and imazamethapyr. A more preferred imidazolinone herbicide is imazaquin. The present invention also relates to methods of producing WDG compositions containing such compounds.
More preferred formula (I) herbicides for use in the compositions of the invention include pendimethalin (N-(1-ethylpropyl)-2,6-dinitro-3,4-xylidine) and trifluralin (N,N-dipropyl-2,6-dinitro-4-trifluoromethylaniline), as well as benfluralin, isopropalin, ethalfluralin, ryzelan and the like, alone, or in combination. Pendimethalin and trifluralin are most preferred.
In general, WDG's containing high concentrations of between about 20~ and 90~, preferably between about 30~ and 70~ by weight, of low-melting dinitroanilines, such as pendimethalin and trifluralin, optionally in Z~3~74~2 combination with about 1% to 20~, preferably 5~ to 15~
by weight of an imidazolinone herbicide, and a carrier, such as bentonite, may be prepared in a controlled manner by extrusion in the presence of a dispersion enhancing agent, such as a base or water swellable polymer, to yield essentially dust-free and uniformly granular WDG's possessing good dispersibility.
Compositions containing such high concentrations of active ingredients, particularly when used in combination, provide the environmental and commercial advantage of using less material to obtain the desired result. Lower concentration pesticidal compositions, however, may also be prepared, as can compositions containing mixtures of active ingredients, depending on the needs of the particular application.
The finding that bentonite clay is suitable for preparing heat-stable, water dispersible granular compositions containing high concentrations of low melting materials is unexpected. It is contemplated that the incorporation of between about 0.5~ and 20~ by weight, preferably between about 1~ and 10~ by weight, of a base, such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or isopropyl amine, or water-swellable polymers, for example, heterocyclic polymers such as Agrimer~ XLF (2-pyrolidinone, l-ethenyl, homopolymer, or PVP), N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (NVP), a cellulosic material, such as croscarmellose sodium (e.g., Ac-Di-Sol~, FMC Corporation), microcrystalline cellulose (e.g., Lattice~ NTC-80) , or other commercially available polyhydroxy polymers, into the WDG
formulation causes the bentonite or other suitable hydrous carrier to swell upon contact with the water.
Advantageously, this swelling permits the WDG to disperse more quickly.
Carriers suitable for use in the preparation of the water dispersible granular compositions of the invention include swelling clays such as kaolinate, zeolite and preferably, montmorillonite clays, such as beidellite, bentonite, nontronite and saponite. Most preferred are carriers comprising bentonite, at least in greater part, as carrier combinations may be employed. Commercially available, naturally occurring swelling clays include VOLCLAY~ (Wyoming Bentonites), VEEGUM~, or other naturally occurring swelling clays which contain the same montmorillonite unit structure and properties.
Suitable wetting agents for use in the preparation of the WDG compositions of the invention include conventional agents such as sodium N-methyl-N-oleyoyltaurate (Igepon~ T-77), octylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol, nonylphenoxy polyethoxy ethanol, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, sodium dodecyl benzyl sulfonate, sodium lauryl sulfonate, and the like, or mixtures thereof. Suitable suspension agents include conventional agents such as sodium lignosulfonate, alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, the sodium salt of a naphthalene sulfuric acid-formaldehyde condensate (Morwet~ D-425 or Lowmar~ PW), and the like, or mixtures thereof (Morwet~ EFW). Suitable antifoaming agents include conventional detergents such as sodium tallowate (Foamaster Soap L~) and the like. Suitable flow agents include conventional agents such as fumed silica, calcium silicate (Micro-Cel~ E), and the like, or mixtures thereof.
The WDG compositions of the invention comprise about 20 to 90~ by weight (preferably 30-70%) of a dinitroaniline compound, preferably a dinitroaniline compound of formula (I), optionally about 1~ to 20~, preferably 5~ to 15% by weight, of an imidazolinone herbicide, preferably selected from the group consisting of imazaquin, imazethapyr, imazamethapyr and imazapyr, admixed with from about 5.0 to 25.0~ by weight of one or more carriers, about 1.0-7.5~ by weight of one or more wetting agents, about 2-10~ by weight of one or more suspension agents, and about 0.5-20% by weight of one or more dispersion enhancing agents. More preferably, the WDG compositions of the invention also include up to about 1% by weight of one or more antifoaming agents, and up to about 7.5% by weight of one or more flow agents to facilitate the extrusion process.
The hardness, sorptivity, particle size and apparent density of the WDG composition can be adjusted by varying or combining the type(s) of clay, the type(s) of surfactants and/or wetting agents, and mixtures thereof, which are commonly employed in agricultural formulations. Other conventional formulating agents, such as disintegrating aids or thickening agents, may also be added to the WDG
compositions of the invention while maintaining the desirable properties described above.
In order to prepare the WDG compositions of the invention, the appropriate dinitroaniline, and optionally imidazolinone, technical material is passed through a pin mill. The milled technical is then blended with the wetting agents, the suspension agents, and the carriers, and optionally, the anitfoaming agents and the flow agents. The blended material is milled in an air classifier mill, preferably under liquid nitrogen or other unreactive refrigerant source sufficient to cool the mill. The milled material is then mixed with water (10-15% of total batch size) and the dispersion enhancing agents, and extruded through a conventional LUWA bench top basket extruder, for example, one having about a 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm aperture.
The extruded granules are allowed to dry overnight in a hood until the residual moisture is reduced to about 1-3%. The granules are then sieved through a #16 and #40 mesh screen and collected.
Many variations of this invention will occur to those skilled in the art in light of the above, detailed description. For example, combinations of water swellable polymers may be used as the dispersion enhancing agent. All such obvious variations are within the full intended scope of the appended claims.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.

A predetermined amount of test composition, typically 1 gram or quantity sufficient to represent the maximum end use concentration, is added 100 mL of water in a graduated cylinder, which is then quickly stoppered. The cylinder is immediately rotated (inverted) 180, and, after a 3 second pause, rotated an additional 180, and held for 3 seconds. The cycle is then repeated. The number of 360 cycles required to completely dissolve/disperse the granules is recorded.
The procedure is continued until 30 inversions have been made. The desired quick dispersion of the granules is reflected by the lower number of inversions (Table 1).
