Description

COMBINATION OF GLYPHOSATE AND A TRIAZOLINONE HERBICIDE FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to combinations of herbicides used for post-emergent control of a wide range of weeds. It also relates to a method of preparation and methods of using such combinations.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED TECHNIQUE N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine, also known by its common name glyphosate, is a widely used broad spectrum post-emergent herbicide, which is used to control the growth and proliferation of unwanted plants. In its acid form and in its various forms of salt, glyphosate is highly effective and commercially important for weed control in agriculture, industry and residential markets. Typically, it is applied to the foliage of the target plant, after which the foliar tissue absorbs it, and moves throughout the plant. N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine extraordinarily blocks an important biochemical path that is common to virtually all plants, but which is absent in animals. Due to the nature of the biochemical path, there will be no visual symptoms that the plant has been treated with N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine, up to two weeks after treatment, or even after.

Various forms of N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine have been found commercially useful. It is sold and used in acid form, or in a saline form. N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine salts, which are frequently used to control weeds, include N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine of mono (isopropylammonium), N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine and monoammonium, N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine of monosodium and N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine monotrimethylsulfonium. However, the range of N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine salts useful for controlling weeds is very broad (JEFrans et al., Glvphosate: a Unique Global Herbicide, ACS Monograph 189, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC 27-64, incorporated herein by reference). Numerous studies have been conducted on the effect of surfactants on the herbicidal action of N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine. Franz et al., Pp. 155-161 (incorporated herein by reference) describes in detail the effects of many different surfactants and different classes of surfactants on the activity of N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine. N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine has been formulated in a variety of forms, including a liquid, a soluble granule with water and a wettable powder. It is known that protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibiting herbicides affect plants by inhibiting protoporphyrinogen oxidase in chloroplasts, thus damaging photosynthesis and other processes. This damage causes early symptoms of tissue necrosis in plants. Some PPO herbicides such as triazolinones (see for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,217,520, incorporated herein by reference) provide good control of broadleaf weeds, but are less effective in controlling grasses. Japanese Patent Application Publication Kokai Hei 10-45516 (incorporated herein by reference) discloses a composition that includes N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine and a PPO herbicide known as carfentrazone. Carfentrazone is a solid high-melting carboxylic acid useful for the post-emergent control of broad-leaved weeds (U.S. Patent No. 5,217,520, incorporated herein by reference).

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It would be advantageous to have a combination of N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine or a salt thereof with a triazolinone herbicide, which allows a rapid absorption by the target plant, early visual symptoms of the treatment of the plant, and control of a wide range of weed species. A combination of N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine and a PPO herbicide such as a triazolinone is useful for at least two reasons. First, because N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine is a broad spectrum herbicide, it can complement triazolinone, and the combination can control a wider range of weed species than the triazolinone herbicide can control alone. Second, the symptoms caused by triazolinone can serve as an early marker that indicates whether a given plant has been treated with the combination.

In one of the various embodiments of the present invention, a combination is provided which includes (a) N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine or a salt thereof, and (b) a triazolinone herbicide, a herbicidal salt of triazolinone or a tautomer triazolinone herbicide, particularly with a triazolinone acid ester herbicide and with a triazolinone sulfonamide herbicide.

The hydrophobic solution prepared as described above can be added to the aqueous solution, preferably under high shear (for example in a Waring blender or using a rotostator mixer), to produce the emulsion. To help stabilize the emulsion, an emulsion stabilizer such as a xanthan gum can be added to the emulsion or to an emulsion phase. As an alternative method to assist the stabilization of the emulsion, a dry or previously swollen emulsion stabilizer such as silica, colloidal silica, fuming silica, alumina, colloidal alumina, or fuming alumina (from about 0.25 to about 15 parts by weight, preferably from about 0.5 to about 10 parts by weight, more preferably from about 1 to about 5 parts by weight of the solid stabilizing agent) can optionally be added to one or more of the solutions during the preparation of the composition.

The stabilizing agent can be added in the hydrophobic phase, in the aqueous phase or both in the hydrophobic phase as in the aqueous phase. Optionally, the formulation of the emulsion may include other ingredients such as a spreading agent (i.e., a silicone surfactant), an antifreeze agent (ie, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol), a defoamer (i.e., a silicone defoamer such as an ethoxylated silicone), or sodium sulfite.

The formulation of the emulsion may also include a spreading agent such as an alkoxylated silicone spreading agent. A preferred propagating agent is an ethoxylated silicone such as Silwet L-77 (available from Union Carbide). In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composition is an emulsion that includes (a) an aqueous phase that includes the N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine salt of mono (isopropylammonium), an ethoxylated alkylamine surfactant, sodium sulfite , propylene glycol and water; and (b) a hydrophobic phase including carfentrazone-ethyl, an aromatic solvent, calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, a non-ionic surfactant, and a silicone defoamer; and wherein the hydrophobic phase is dispersed in the aqueous phase to form an emulsion. The composition of the present invention can also be prepared as a suitable diluted aqueous mixture, for example, to be applied to the foliage of plants. In one embodiment, the solid herbicidal composition (from about 0.5 to about 20 parts by weight) described above, can be dispersed in water (from about 80 to about 99.5 parts by weight) to form the dilute aqueous mixture. In another modality, the formulation of the emulsion (from about 0.5 to about 20 parts by weight) described above, can be dispersed in water (from about 20 to about 99.5 parts by weight) to form the diluted aqueous mixture. An alternative method to prepare a diluted aqueous mixture is to prepare a concentrated formulation of the triazolinone herbicide, and separately prepare a concentrated formulation of. N - (phosphonomethyl) glycine or a salt thereof. Then, the concentrated triazolinone herbicidal formulation and the N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine formulation can be mixed with each other with water or with another carrier or diluent. A herbicidal triazolinone formulation useful for this application may include, for example, a triazolinone (such as carfentrazone-ethyl or sulfentrazone), a solvent and a surfactant. Specific examples of formulations are provided below to assist the reader in understanding the scope and usefulness of the present invention. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for treating plants, wherein the method includes contacting the foliage of a plant with a biologically effective amount of a composition that includes N- (phosphonomethyl) glycine or a salt thereof, and a triazolinone herbicide such as that encompassed by the formula (II), including carfentrazone-ethyl or sulfentrazone. The composition of the present invention should be applied to plants in a sufficient proportion to give the desired biological effect. These application rates are usually expressed as the amount of herbicide per unit area treated, ie, grams of active ingredient or acid equivalent per hectare (g / ha). What constitutes a "desired effect" varies according to the standards and practice of those who research, develop, sell and use a specific class of herbicides. For example, the amount of herbicide applied per unit area to give 85% control of a plant species, as measured by the reduction in growth or mortality, is often used to define a commercially effective ratio. The control of a plant species is one of the biological effects that can be reforased through this invention. "Control" as used herein, refers to any observable measure of herbicidal effects on the growth of the plant, effects which may include one or more of the effects of plant necrosis, plant death, growth inhibition, inhibition of reproduction , inhibition of proliferation and elimination, destruction or reduction of some other form of the occurrence and activity of plants. The herbicide effectiveness data reported here report "percentage inhibition" as a percentage of control of a plant species in relation to a group of untreated review plants. The measurement of inhibition and control reflects a standard procedure known to those skilled in the art, and includes a visual assessment of plant mortality and growth reduction as compared to untreated plants, done by technicians specially trained to do and record such observations. A single technician makes all percent inhibition evaluations within any experiment or test. The selection of the application rates that are biologically effective for the composition of the present invention, including application rate in grams per hectare of each herbicide in the present composition, can be made by one skilled in the art given the present disclosure. Considerations in determining the proportion of application, include individual conditions of the plant, climate and growing conditions. The combination of the present invention can be applied to plants, for example, as a liquid spray. In one embodiment, the combination can be prepared as a liquid or solid composition, which can be dispersed in water and applied to the foliage of plants. In alternative form, the present combination can be prepared as a concentrated liquid, which can be applied directly to the foliage of the plant, for example through a controlled drip applicator. In another alternative, the combination can be prepared directly as a diluted liquid, which can be applied to the foliage of the plant. Common application methods include spraying and drying. The combination of the present invention can be used to control a wide variety of plants throughout the world. The combination can be applied to a plant in a herbicidally effective amount, and can effectively control one or more plant species in a wide variety of plant genera. Table 1 lists some examples, without limitation, of genera of common plants containing species that can be controlled by the present combination.
