Description

Weeding composition

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of pesticides; the present invention relates to a herbicidal composition; the invention also relates to a method for controlling undesired plant growth.

Background

The control of agricultural weeds has been the most concerned and important problem in agricultural production. Protection of crops from weeds and other vegetation that inhibit crop growth is a continuing problem in agriculture.

The use of chemical herbicides is one of the important hallmarks of modern agriculture. In recent years, the amount of herbicides sold has increased year by year, and the application area has also expanded year by year. However, with the continuous use of large areas of numerous herbicide species, numerous problems arise, such as the onset of emergence of weed resistance problems, particularly of resistance problems in older weeds; in addition, the problems of single action mode, short lasting period and the like of the single herbicide are also prominent. Therefore, it is an urgent need to provide a long-acting herbicide with a wide herbicidal range, strong selectivity and less resistance pressure to weeds.

It is known that the combined application of certain different herbicides with specific action may lead to an increase in the activity of the herbicide components compared to a simple additive action. This increase in activity is also referred to as a synergistic effect or synergistic activity. The application rates of the herbicidal active compounds required for controlling harmful plants can thus be reduced.

The most commonly used method of increasing herbicidal activity and broadening the herbicidal spectrum of existing herbicides is to mix two or more herbicidally active substances having different herbicidal activities. When the efficacy of a mixture of two or more ingredients is greater than the expected level of efficacy of each ingredient, we refer to as "synergy"; when the potency of a mixture of two or more ingredients is below the expected level of potency of the respective ingredient, we call "antagonism"; the efficacy of a mixture of two or more ingredients at the same level of intended efficacy of each ingredient is referred to as "additive". However, due to differences in herbicidal performance, absorption, transfer, metabolism, etc., most mixtures have less herbicidal activity than single applications of the ingredients. The synergistic effect present in herbicidal mixtures of two or more herbicidally active substances is only visible in some cases.

"synergistic" results in lower application rates for individual herbicides, greater efficacy at the same application rate, control of previously untreated varieties, control of varieties tolerant or resistant to a single herbicide or multiple herbicides, extended application periods, and/or reduced number of individual applications required; and for the user, a more economically and ecologically advantageous weed control system is obtained.

The metribuzin application rate can vary within wide limits, for example between 10g and 1000g a.i./ha (hereinafter, a.i./ha means "active substance/hectare" based on 100% pure active compound). When applied at an application rate of 100g to 700g a.i./ha, metribuzin when used pre-sown, pre-planted or pre-and post-emergent has a relatively broad spectrum of harmful plants to be controlled.

The application rate of flufenacet can vary within wide limits, for example between 10g and 1500 gA.I./ha. Flufenacet, when applied at an application rate of 100g to 1000gA.I./ha, has a relatively broad spectrum of harmful plants to be controlled when it is used before sowing, before planting or before and after emergence.

The rate of application of clomazone can vary within wide limits, with a relatively broad spectrum of harmful plants to be controlled when clomazone is used before sowing, before planting or before and after germination, when applied at an application rate of 100g-2000g a.i./ha.

When the weeding composition is used together with glyphosate, glufosinate-ammonium, dicamba, imidazolinone, sulfonylurea, 2,4-D and the like, crops to be applied are glyphosate, glufosinate-ammonium, dicamba, imidazolinone, sulfonylurea or 2,4-D tolerant crops.

Although the flufenacet, metribuzin and clomazone already exhibit good or even sufficient selectivity in a large number of crops, in principle phytotoxicity to the crop plants may occur in some crops, in particular also in combination with other less selective herbicides. Compositions comprising the herbicidal compositions according to the present invention together with one or more safeners are particularly advantageous. The safeners are used in antidotally effective amounts, for example to reduce the phytotoxic side effects of the herbicides used in economically important crops or in fruit plantations (plantation crops). Such as cereals (wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn, rice and millet), sugar beets, sugar cane, oilseed rape, peanuts, cotton, potatoes, soybeans.

The following are, for example, compounds suitable as safeners (including possible stereoisomers and agriculturally commonly used esters or salts): 1, 8-naphthalic anhydride (1, 8-naphthalene dicarboxycarbyl hydride), benoxacor (benoxacor), fenchlorazole (fenchlorazole-ethyl), Furilazole (Furilazole), jiecan (2-dichlomethyl-2-methyl-1, 3-dioxanone), chloranil (cyclometril), Oxabetrinil, fluxofenam (fluxofenam), Fenclorim (Fenclorim), fluzazole or oxaziridine (Acetamide), Isoxadifen (Isoxadifen), pyraclonil (Mefenpyr-diethyl).

Some safeners are known to act as herbicides and, accordingly, to act to protect crop plants in addition to having a herbicidal effect on harmful plants.

The weight ratio of herbicidal composition to safener generally depends on the application rate of the herbicide and on the effect of the safener and can vary within wide limits, for example within the range from 90000:1 to 1:5000, preferably within the range from 7000:1 to 1:1600, in particular within the range from 3000:1 to 1:500, in particular within the range from 1:100 to 20: 1. Safeners can be formulated with flufenacet, metribuzin, and clomazone in a finished formulation or supplied and used in tank mix with the herbicidal composition.

Safeners can be used for the preliminary treatment of the seed material of the cultivated plants (dressing) or can be penetrated into the soil before or after sowing. It can also be applied separately or together with the herbicidal composition of the present invention after the plants have germinated. The treatment of the plant or seed material with the safener is in principle not influenced by the time of application of the herbicide. The treatment of the plants can also be carried out by applying the herbicide and safener simultaneously, for example in the form of a tank mix.

The herbicidal compositions of the present invention may also be used for crop plants that are resistant to one or more herbicides due to genetic engineering or breeding, resistant to one or more pathogens, such as phytopathogenic fungi, due to genetic engineering or breeding or resistant to insect infestation due to genetic engineering or breeding. Suitable are, for example, crops which are resistant to synthetic auxins, preferably maize, wheat, sunflower, canola, rape, soybean, cotton and sugar cane, or which are resistant to attack by certain insects due to introduction of genes for Bt toxins by genetic modification.

Use of a herbicidal composition for controlling undesired vegetation in crops of useful plants, which is tolerated by the crop of useful plants.

The herbicidal compositions of the present invention are highly suitable for selectively controlling the growth of undesirable vegetation in crops of useful plants. Particular preference is given to the growth of undesirable plants in wheat, peanut, corn, cotton, potato, sugarcane crops.

The herbicidal compositions of the present invention may also be used as defoliants, desiccants and all-round herbicides.

The present invention provides a method for controlling undesired vegetation by applying the active ingredients of the herbicidal composition of the present invention to undesired plants or their habitat together or individually.

A method for controlling undesired vegetation, comprising: (i) before the undesired plants germinate (pre-emergence); (ii) after undesired plant germination (post-emergence); or (iii) applying a herbicidally effective amount of the herbicidal composition of the present invention to the undesired plants or to the locus thereof at (i) and (ii). Preferably, the application of the germinated undesired vegetation (e.g. broadleaf weeds, grasses, cyperaceae or undesired crop plants) is also carried out before the undesired vegetation germinates, irrespective of the growth period of the sown/planted crop.

A method for controlling undesired vegetation, which comprises contacting the undesired plants or their habitat with a herbicidally effective amount of the herbicidal composition of the present invention.

A method for controlling undesired vegetation, which comprises applying a herbicidally effective amount of the herbicidal composition of the present invention to soil to prevent germination or growth of undesired plants.

The herbicidal composition of the present invention comprises an effective amount of flufenacet and metribuzin with a synergistic effect. A synergistic effect is observed when flufenacet and metribuzin are applied together or almost simultaneously; synergy may also be observed when flufenacet and metribuzin are applied separately at different times; it is also possible to apply flufenacet and metribuzin sequentially, for example, pre-emergent followed by post-emergent application, or early post-emergent followed by mid-or late post-emergent application. It is preferred here to apply flufenacet and metribuzin together or almost simultaneously, and especially preferred is the co-application.

The weeding composition comprises effective amounts of flufenacet, metribuzin and clomazone, and has a synergistic effect. A synergistic effect is observed when flufenacet, metribuzin, clomazone are administered together or almost simultaneously; synergy can also be observed when flufenacet, metribuzin, clomazone are administered separately at different times; flufenacet, metribuzin, clomazone can also be applied sequentially, for example, pre-emergent followed by post-emergent application, or early post-emergent followed by mid-or late post-emergent application. It is preferred here to apply flufenacet, metribuzin, clomazone together or almost simultaneously, and co-application is particularly preferred.

If the herbicidal composition of the present invention is applied to the soil surface before germination, the weed seedlings are completely prevented from germinating, or the weeds grow to the cotyledon stage, but then they stop growing, and finally die completely after two to four weeks.

If the active compound is applied to the green parts of the plants after germination, the growth likewise stops sharply within a relatively short time after the treatment, and the weed plants remain in the growth phase at the point in time of application, or they die completely after a certain time, in such a way that the competition caused by the weeds which are harmful to the crop plants is eliminated earlier and continuously. For rice, the herbicidal composition may also be applied in water, which is then absorbed through the soil, shoots and roots.

When the active ingredients in the herbicidal composition are co-applied, there is a synergistic effect. Here, the activity of the composition is higher than the expected sum of the activities of the individual herbicides applied. The synergistic effect allows a reduction in the application rates, a broader spectrum of broadleaf weeds, grasses and cyperaceae to be controlled, a faster onset of action of the herbicidal action, a longer duration, a better control of harmful plants by only one or a few applications and a widening of the application period. The dosage used in the herbicidal composition, as well as the effective dosage of the active ingredient, can be adjusted to a lower level to minimize its effect on the soil. This allows the herbicidal compositions of the present invention to be applied not only to sensitive crops but also almost avoid groundwater contamination. The herbicidal compositions of the present invention allow for a significant reduction in the required application rate of the active ingredient.

The above characteristics and advantages are for weed control to keep agricultural/forestry/horticultural crops or greens/grasslands free from undesired competing plants, thereby ensuring and/or increasing the yield levels of useful crops from a quality and quantity point of view. Such herbicidal compositions significantly exceed the state of the art in terms of said properties.

The present invention also provides a method of controlling undesired vegetation which comprises applying the herbicidal compositions of the present invention in the presence of the plants of the useful crop, the seeds of the useful crop or other reproductive parts of the useful crop. The herbicidal compositions according to the invention are preferably applied directly to the plants or to the locus of the plants before sowing or germination of the useful crop or after sowing before germination.

The present invention also provides a method for controlling undesired vegetation, preferably in crops of useful plants, in particular in crops of cereals, which comprises applying flufenacet, metribuzin, clomazone, as active ingredient of the herbicidal composition according to the invention, for example, jointly or separately to plants (for example undesired plants, such as monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous broadleaf weeds, grassy weeds, cyperaceae or undesired crop plants), seeds (for example caryopsis, seeds or vegetative organs, for example tubers and sprouted branches), or to areas where plants grow (for example to areas of cultivation, which may also be covered with water). One herbicide may be applied to the plant, seed, or area where the plant is growing (e.g., the area of cultivation) before, after, or simultaneously with another herbicide.

The herbicidal compositions of the present invention may be applied in a conventional manner by using techniques well known to those skilled in the art. Suitable techniques include spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or pouring. The type of application depends in a well-known manner on the intended purpose; in any case, the technique should ensure the best possible distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention.

If the active ingredient is not well tolerated by certain crops, the herbicidal compositions can be directed to spray with the aid of a spray device so that they contact the sensitive crop as little as possible when they reach the foliage or bare soil of the undesirable plants growing below.

The method of the invention is most preferably used for controlling weeds in the area where the crop is growing or will be used for growing the crop, by unwanted plants or their locus. When applied to a crop growing area, the application rate should be sufficient to control weed growth without causing serious permanent damage to the crop.

"undesirable plants" are understood to mean all plants which grow in places where their growth is not desired. These may be, for example, harmful plants (for example monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous weeds, grasses, cyperaceae or unwanted crop plants), including, for example, those which are resistant to certain herbicidally active compounds (for example glyphosate, glufosinate, atrazine, imidazolinone herbicides and sulfonylureas).

The invention provides a weeding composition, which comprises active components of flufenacet and metribuzin, wherein the weight ratio of the flufenacet to the metribuzin is 1-10: 1-10; preferably 1-8:1-8, more preferably 1-6:1-6, and still more preferably 1-4: 1-4.

The invention provides a weeding composition, which comprises the active components of flufenacet, metribuzin and clomazone; the weight ratio of the flufenacet, the metribuzin and the clomazone is 1-10:1-10:1-10, preferably 1-8:1-8:1-8, more preferably 1-6:1-6:1-6, and more preferably 1-4:1-4: 1-4.

The weeding composition further comprises a filling agent and/or a surfactant. In the herbicidal composition, the total amount of the active ingredients accounts for 1 to 90 percent, preferably 5 to 80 percent, preferably 10 to 80 percent, more preferably 20 to 80 percent, and still more preferably 30 to 80 percent of the weight of the herbicidal composition.

The total amount of the active component may also constitute 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, 18%, 19%, 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 52%, 54%, 56%, 58%, 60%, 62%, 64%, 66%, 68%, 70%, 72%, 74%, 76%, 78%, 80%, 82%, 84%, 86%, 88%, or 90% by weight of the herbicidal composition.

The particular values between the above-mentioned values are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise values encompassed within the stated ranges for brevity and conciseness.

The herbicidal composition of the present invention can be converted into conventional formulations such as wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, suspensions, microcapsules, microemulsions, aqueous emulsions, suspoemulsions, microcapsule suspension-suspensions, water dispersible granules, ultra-low volume liquids, tablets, low volume dispersible granules, pills or dry suspensions.

According to the present invention, the term "bulking agent" refers to natural or synthetic organic or inorganic compounds that can be combined or associated with an active ingredient to make it easier to apply to a subject (e.g., a plant, crop or grass). Thus, the filler is preferably inert, at least should be agriculturally acceptable. The filler may be solid or liquid.

Suitable solid carriers are: for example, vegetable powders (for example, particles of soybean powder, starch, cereal flour, wood flour, bark powder, saw dust, walnut shell powder, bran, cellulose powder, coconut shell, corn cob and tobacco stalk, residues after extraction of plant essences, etc.), clays (for example, kaolin, bentonite, acid china clay, etc.), talc powders, silicas (for example, diatomaceous earth, silica sand, mica, hydrous silicic acid, calcium silicate), activated carbon, natural minerals (for example, bentonite, silica gel, kaolin, pumice, attapulgite, zeolite, etc.), calcined diatomaceous earth, sand, plastic media (for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene chloride, etc.), inorganic mineral powders such as potassium chloride, calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate, chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, urea and ammonium chloride, and soil fertilizers, and these may be used alone or in combination of 2 or more.

Suitable liquid carriers may be selected from, for example, water, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethylene glycol, etc.), ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.), ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, dioxane, methyl cellulose, tetrahydrofuran, etc.), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., kerosene, mineral oil, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene, mineral spirits, alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, chlorobenzene, etc.), halogenated hydrocarbons, amides, sulfones, dimethyl sulfoxide, mineral and vegetable oils, animal oils, etc.

Suitable surfactants are emulsifiers, dispersants or wetting agents of an ionic or nonionic nature, or mixtures of these surfactants. Suitable examples of such surfactants include fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ethers, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ethers, polyoxyethylene higher fatty acid esters, phosphoric acid esters of polyoxyethylene alcohols or phenols, fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols, sodium alkylaryl sulfonates, naphthalenesulfonic acid polymers, lignosulfonates, high-molecular comb-shaped dendritic copolymers, butylnaphthalenesulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, sodium alkylsulfosuccinates, fats and oils, polyacrylates such as fatty alcohol-ethylene oxide condensates and alkylnaphthalenesulfonates, and protein hydrolysates.
