Cross Reference to Related Applications

This application daims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/585844, filed January 12,2012, the entirety of which is incorporated herein by reference. Field

This disdosure concems herbicidal compositions comprising and methods utilizing three herbiddal active Ingrédients, spedfically (a) bentazon-sodium, (b) one ALS Inhibitor and (c) one ACCase Inhibitor for controlling weeds, including in crop settings, e.g., rice, wheat, bariey, oats, rye, sorghum, com/maize, pastures, grasslands, rangelands, fallowland, turf, tree and vine orchards and IVM, as well as ALS and ACCase tolérant crops (such as, but not limited to, soybean, cotton, canola / oilseed râpe, rice, cereals, corn, turf, etc.), ln some embodiments, these compositions provide improved post-emergence herbiddal weed control in rice.

Background

The protection of crops from weeds and other végétation which Inhibit crop growth Is a constantly recurring problem in agriculture. To heip combat this problem, researchers in the field of synthetic chemistry hâve produced an extensive variety of chemicals and chemicai formulations effective in the control of such unwanted growth. Chemical herbicides of many types hâve been disdosed in the literature and a iarge number are in commerdal use.

ln some cases, herbiddal active Ingrédients hâve been shown to be more effective in combination than when applied individually and this is referred to as synergism. As described in the Herbicide Handbook of the Weed Sdence Society of America, Ninth Edition, 2007, p. 429 ‘synergism’ Iis] an interaction of two or more factors such that the effect when combined Is greater than the predicted effect based on the response to each factor applied separately. The présent disdosure is based in part on the discovery that penoxsulam, cyhalofop-butyl and bentazon, already known individually for their herbiddal efficacy, display a synergistic effect when applied in a three-way combination.

Summary

The présent disdosure concems herbicldai compositions comprising and methods utilizing herblddally effective amounts of three herbiddal active ingrédients, wherein the first herbiddal active ingrédient is bentazon-sodium, the second herbiddal active Ingrédient an ALS inhibitor and the third herbicidal active ingrédient an ACCase Inhibitor. The compositions may also contain an agriculturally acceptable adjuvant and / or carrier.

Evaluation of Postemergence Herbiddal Activity of Mixtures in the Field

Field trials were conducted In Vietnam and Taiwan In cultivated dïrect-seeded rice using standard herbicide small plot research methodology. Plots varied from 1x2 meter (m) to 4 x 5 m (width x length) with 3-4 replicates per treatment. The rice crop was grown using normal cultural practices for fertilization, seeding, watering, flooding and maintenance to ensure good growth of the crop and the weeds.

Ali treatments in the field triais were applied using a backpack air sprayer with fiat fan nozzles calibrated to apply 320 to 450 L/ha spray volume at approximately 30 PSI. Commerciaily available products of penoxsulam (Clipper 25OD), bispyribac-sodium (Nomlnee 100SC), bentazonsodium (Basagran 480SL), cyhalofop-butyl (Clincher 100EC), and fenoxaprop-P-ethyl (Whip S) were mixed in water at appropriate formulated product rates to achieve the desired rates based on a unit area of application (hectare) to achieve the desired rates as shown. Treatments were rated at 7 to 42 days after application (DAA) as compared to the untreated control plants. Visual weed control was scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury and 100 corresponds to complété kill.

Tables 1 to 5 demonstrate the herbiddal synergistic efficacy of bentazon-sodium mixes with one ALS inhibitor + one ACCase inhibitor tank mixes on weed control. Ail treatment results, both for the single product and mixtures, are an average of 3 to 4 repücates and the tank mix interactions are significant at the P>0.05 level.

Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbiddal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic response of herbidde combinations. Weeds 1967, 15, 20-22.).

The following équation was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containing two active Ingrédients, A and B:

Expected = A + B + C - (AB + AC + BC)/100 + (ABC)/10,000

A = observed efficacy of active ingrédient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.

-1416952

B = observed efficacy of active ingrédient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.

C - observed efficacy of active ingrédient C at the same concentration as used in the mixture.

Some of the compounds tested, application rates employed, plant species tested, and results are given in Tables 1-5. AU comparisons are an average of 3 to 4 replicates and are significant at the P>0.05 level.
