Definitions

  • a common method of herbicidal treatment in agricultural endeavors is to treat a field to remove or control unwanted vegetation in preparation for planting a crop plant or seed, a method otherwise known as a “burndown” herbicide treatment.
  • single herbicides typically lack the weed control spectrum, e.g., the range of weed species effectively controlled by the herbicide, to fully control the diversity of weeds in such an environment and therefore, it is common to apply two or more herbicides simultaneously in order to achieve the desired spectrum of control with the burndown treatment.
  • the herbicides are often sold separately and mixed in a spray tank by the end user.
  • a more convenient way to deliver these herbicides is to formulate them into a single pre-mix concentrate that can easily be measured and diluted in water by the end user prior to application by spraying.
  • Glyphosate containing compositions are of particular interest in burndown herbicide applications due to their wide spectrum of weed control. These compositions are made more useful by expanding their spectrum of weed control even further by the addition of an oil soluble herbicide.
  • An oil-in-water emulsion (EW) composition may be used to combine an oil soluble herbicide and a water soluble herbicide, such as a glyphosate, into a pre-mix herbicide concentrate where droplets of oil are stabilized by surfactant emulsifiers as a discrete phase and are uniformly dispersed in water as a continuous phase.
  • Oil-in-water emulsions can have stability issues caused by one or more factors. Interactions or reactions of an ingredient in the aqueous phase with component(s) of the dispersed oil phase include, but are not limited to, crystal formation and growth due to Ostwald ripening of an oil phase component or an aqueous phase component, or chemical degradation of ingredients in either the oil phase or the aqueous phase. These degradations may be caused by the presence of one or more components in the oil-in-water emulsion and can lead to formulation instability.
  • Migration of water into the oil phase and contact with the active ingredient dissolved in the oil phase or migration of the active ingredient into the water phase or to the oil-water interface can lead to one or more of active ingredient hydrolysis, crystal formation or Ostwald ripening with possible formulation instability or unsuitability for agricultural spray applications.
  • a high ionic strength aqueous solution such as, for example, a water solution containing a soluble glyphosate salt.
  • the high ionic strength aqueous solution can destabilize the emulsion leading to coalescence of the oil droplets into larger sized oil droplets which may ultimately cause the emulsion to separate into two liquid layers.
  • This undesired phenomenon has been attributed to the electrolyte decreasing the electrostatic repulsive force between the dispersed droplets, thus causing the droplets to agglomerate.
  • This stability issue becomes more severe in a high load emulsion system, and at high temperature extremes.
  • High-strength formulations are desirable for a variety of economic and environmental reasons. For example, it is desirable to provide a high-strength concentrate in order to reduce shipping and handling costs and to reduce the amount of packaging material that must be disposed after use of the product.
  • the high-strength concentrates should be stable and retain potency during storage and shipping.
  • the high-strength concentrate should be a homogeneous liquid emulsion that is stable at temperatures at least as high as about 50 ° C. and should not exhibit any precipitation of solids at temperatures as low as about 0 ° C.
