Description

SPECIFICATION Herbicidal mixtures and compositions This invention relates to herbicidal mixtures and compositions.
The present invention provides herbicidal mixtures containing (A) a compound of the formula
in which the or each Hal is a halogen atom, each of R1, R2 and R3 is a C1 -C3 alkyl group, X is oxygen or sulfur, and n is 1 or2; together with either (B) a compound of the formula
in which the or each R4 is a halogen atom or a trifluoromethyl group, Rs is hydrogen or a C1 -C4 alkyl group, R6 is a C,-C4 alkyl, C3-C6 alkenyl, C3-C6 alkynyl, hydroxy, C1 -C3 alkoxy or C,-C3 alkylthio-C1-C3 alkyl group, andn1 is 1 or2; or (C) a compound of the formula
in which R7 is a C1-C4 alkyl group.
The present invention also provides herbicidal compositions comprising such mixtures together with one or more inert carriers, and a method for combating undesired plant growth which comprises applying such a composition to a locus containing or likely to contain such undesired plant growth.
The compounds of the formula 1 are described in DE-OS 2,604,224, those of the formula 2 are described in DE-OS 2,311,638, DE-OS 2,632,581 and DE-OS 2,850,902, and those of the formula 3 are described in DE-OS 2,732,531.
Preferred compounds A of the formula I are those in which Hal is chlorine and X is sulfur. Preferred compounds B of the formula 2 are those in which R4 is chlorine.
In the mixtures according to the present invention, the compounds A and B, and A and C, exhibit a synergistic effect upon each other, which makes these mixtures more effective than the individual compounds A, B and C, as herbicides.
The mixtures according to the present invention are effective against a large number of weeds without doing any harm to many crop plants, ratios of 1 part of Ato 0.1 to 10 parts of B orC being especially effective in this respect. Mixtures of A and B preferably contain those compounds in a ratio of from 1:1 to 1:4, more preferably from 1:1 to 1 :2, whereas mixtures of A and C preferably contain those compounds in a ratio of from 1:0.1 to 1:0.4, more preferably from 1:0.1 to 1 :0.2.
The mixtures and compositions according to the present invention can be used successfully to combat numerous weeds in crop plants, especially in rice, for example the following weeds: annual types perennial types Echinochloa spp. Eleocharis acicularis Fimbristylis llttoralis Eleocharis kuroguwai Cyperus difformis Scirpus maritimus Cyperus iria Cyperus sero tin us Cyperus spp. Allsma canaliculatum Monochoria vaginalis Sagiffaria trifolia Rotala indica Sagittaria pygmaea Dopatrium junceum Lindernia pyridaria Elatine triandra Ludwigia spp.
The compositions according to the present invention can be used in the form of tank mixtures, in which the individual active substances are mixed directly prior to application, or can be in the form of compositions ready for use. Such compositions ready for use are, for example wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dusts and granules, which contain the usual formulation auxiliaries, for example wetting agents, adhesives, dispersing agents, solid or liquid inert materials, grinding auxiliaries and solvents.
Wettable powders are formulations which are uniformly dispersible in water and which, in addition to the active compounds and diluents or inert materials, contain also wetting agents, for example, polyoxyethylated alkylphenols, polyoxyethylated oleylamines or stearylamines, alkyl sulfonates or alkyl phenylsulfonates, and dispersing agents, for example sodium ligninsulfonate, sodium 2, 2' dinaphthylmethane - 6, 6' - disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalene sulfonate or the sodium salt of oleyl - methyltaurine.
Emulsifiable concentrates are obtained by dissolving the active compounds in an organic solvent, for example, butanol, cyclohexanone, dimethylformamide, xylene, isophorone or an even higherboiling aromatic compound, and by adding a nonionic wetting agent, for example a polyoxethylated alkylphenol or a polyoxethylated oleyl or stearyl amine.
Dusting agents are obtained by grinding the active compounds with a finely divided solid, for example talc, a natural clay, such as kaolin, bentonite, pyrophillite or diatomaceous earth.
Granules can be manufactured either by spraying the active compounds onto an absorbent, granular, inert material or by applying a concentrate of the active compounds by means of an adhesive, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or even a mineral oil, onto the surface of a carrier, such as sand, a kaolinite or a granular inert material. Suitable formulations can also be manufactured by the customary methods of manufacture of fertilizer granules, if desired in admixture with fertilizers.
In the herbicidal compositions of the present invention, the concentrations of the active compounds in the commercial formulations can vary within wide limits. In wettable powders, the total concentration of active compounds (A+B or C) may be for example, from about 10 to 80%, the remainder consisting of one or more of the formulation additives. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates, the active compound concentration may be from about 10% to 70%. Dust formulations may contain from 5 to 20% of active compounds, and sprayable solutions from about 2 to 20%. In the case of granules, the active compound content in part depends on whether the active compounds are in a liquid or solid form and what granulating auxiliaries, fillers and the like are used.
If necessary or desired, the commercial concentrates may be diluted prior to application in the usual manner, for example by means of water in the case of wettable powders and emulsifiable concentrates.
Dusts, granules and sprayable solutions are generally ready for use without further dilution. The amount of active ingredient necessary for obtaining the desired result naturally depends on external conditions such as temperature and humidity, but is generally from 0.05 to 10.0 kglha or more of active substance, preferably from 0.1 to 3kg/ha.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
EXAMPLE Application to planted rice (postemergence process) The herbicidal effect of the mixtures according to the present invention was tested under tropical conditions in the open field. The mixtures were applied in granular form in test plots having a size of 4 m2. At the time of application (6 days after planting the rice) the weeds had partly emerged, Echinochloa, for example, having developed 1 to 2 leaves. During the test, the water level in the plot was maintained constant at 1 to 3 cm so that the surface of the soil could not dry out.
27 days after planting and 21 days after application of the mixtures, the herbicidal effect was determined in the treated plots by counting the weeds and comparing their number with the number of weeds in untreated plots. Any damageto the rice plants was evaluated visually.
The results listed in the following Table show that the mixtures according to the present invention exhibit an unexpectedly good herbicidal effect against numerous weeds without damaging the rice.
The effect achieved is far above the effect to be expected in view of the activity of the individual compounds and, therefore, a synergistic effect is obtained.
The synergistic effect was determined according to the formula of S.R. Colby in "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations" (Weeds 15, pages 20to 22 (1967)), as follows: X.Y E=X +Y- 100 in which X denotes the damage caused by herbicide A applied in a concentration of x kg per hectare, Y denotes the damage caused by herbicide B applied in a concentration of y kg per hectare, and E is the damage to be expected bythe mixture of herbicides A and B applied in concentrations of x and y kg per hectare, respectively.
If the actual damage observed is greater than the calculated damage, the effect of the mixture is more than additive, and is said to be synergistic. This synergistic effect is demonstrated by the following examples in which the effect calculated according to the above formula is indicated in brackets besides the effect achieved.
The following compounds were tested
(DE-OS 2,604,224) (Type A)
(2) c1-o-- NO2 C1 O- sCHCO-NHC2H5o-cH-co-NHc H 25 (Type B) (DE-OS 2,632,sal)
(DE-OS 2,732,5313 (Type C) Further compounds of the formulae 1,2 and 3 were tested and an analogous, favourable synergism was observed.
The results prove the synergistic effect of the mixtures according to the present invention in the control of weeds.
