Definitions

• the invention relates to herbicidal compositions containing N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine or a non-phytotoxic salt thereof, in combination with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or ⁇ -naphthylacetic acid or a non-phytotoxic salt of these compounds.
• N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine can successfully be used for combatting weeds, especially perennial, deeply rooted weeds, but is effective also as a total plant killer /United States Patent Specification No. 3,799,758/.
• 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and ⁇ -naphthylacetic acid are also known in the art.
• the present invention relates to herbicidal compositions comprising a combination of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine and 2,4-dichlorophonoxyacetic acid or ⁇ -naphthylacetic acid or a non-phytotoxic salt of these compounds, in an effective amount.
• the present invention is based on the recognition that the herbicidally effective amount of N-(phosphonomethyl) -glycine or a salt thereof can considerably be reduced by using it in combination with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or a non-phytotoxic salt of these compounds.
• Non-phytotoxic salts of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine preferably include alkyl amine salts, preferably havingfrom 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
• the preferred salts of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid also include alkyl amine salts, preferably having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, e.g. isopropyl amine, dimethyl amine salts, etc., but other salts, e.g. alkali metal, alkali earth metal salts can also be used.
• the herbicidal compositions containing N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine as active ingredient are commercially available generally as emulsifiable concentrates containing 30 to 36 % by weight of active ingredient. They are generally employed at a rate of 10 lit./ha.
• compositions according to the invention contain from 0.01 to 95 % by weight of the herbicidally active combination and 5 to 99.9 % by weight of one or more formulation acids.
• the total active ingredient concentration preferably is between 0.1 to 85 % by weight, more preferably between 1 and 40 % weight.
• the proportion of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine to 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or ⁇ -naphthylacetic acid can be varied within a wide range.
• the weight ratio of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine or a salt thereof to dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or a salt thereof preferably is between 5:1 and 1:5, more preferably between 4:1 and 1:2.
• the proportion of 11-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine or a salt thereof to ⁇ -naphthylacetic acid or a salt thereof preferably is between 2:1 and 5:1. It has surprisingly been found that of the herbicidal compositions according to the invention a smaller amount is required to obtain the same herbicidal effect than of the commercially available compositions, which contain N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine as a sole active ingredient. In this way N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine can partly be replaced by other agricultural chemicals and its effectivity can be increased.
• the formulation aids usable in the compositions according to the invention are additives generally applied in the preparation of herbicides and described in detail in numerous texbooks.
• the formulation aids may for example be inert solid or liquid carriers, diluents, surfactants, e.g. dispersing and emulsifying agents, wetting agents, adhesives, etc.
• compositions may conveniently be formulated as solutions, emulsions and dispersions.
• compositions according to the invention may also be formulated as concentrates, which can be diluted in the place of application with water of any other suitable solvent.
• concentrates include for example pastes, oily dispersions, emulsifiable concentrates, etc.
• Suitable surfactants include salts of lignin sulfonic acid, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl sulfates, fatty alcohol sulfates, alkylarylpolyglycol ethers, etc.
• Test plants Agropyron repens
• a dispersion of 1.8 and 3.6 kg of compound A in 500 lit. of water is applied to one hectare.
• a dispersion of 1.8 kg of a compound A and 0.9 kg of a compound E or F in 500 lit. of water was applied to one hectare.
• compositions containing a combination of compounds A and E, and A and F, respectively have the same effect as the compositions containing N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine (compound A) alone, in an amount of 3.6 kg.
• the amount of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine required to achieve the same herbicidal effect is reduced by 50 %.
• Ciochorium intybus Plantago media
• composition containing a combination of the compounds A and E had the same herbicidal effect on all test plants as the composition containing N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine alone, i.e. necessary amount of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine can be reduced to about 60 % .
• Analogeous tests were carried out also Agropyron repens, Achilles distans, Artemisia vulgaris, Cynodon dactylon, Plantago media and Sonchus oleraceus. If was found that a dispersion of 1.8 kg. of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine in 500 lit.
• Aqueous dispersion Ingredients Amount (parts by weight)
• Ethyleneoxide-oil acid N-monoethanol amide addition product 10 Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid Ca 5 Ethyleneoxide-castor oil addition product The dispersion obtained by admixing the ingredients is diluted with 100000 parts by weight of water.
• the mixture obtained by admixing the ingredients is diluted with 10000 parts by weight of water.
• the tank mixture contains 0.1 % weight of active ingredient.
