Description
BLENDED INSECTICIDE COMPOSITIONS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A wide variety of ornamental and agricultural plants are susceptible to infestation by insects and arachnids. The pests inflict damage by consuming foliage and roots, withdrawing juices from the plants, secreting toxins, and infecting with diseases.
Field crops which require protection from pests include such valuable crops as soybeans, corn, peanuts, cotton, alfalfa and tobacco. In addition, vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes, sugar-beets, carrots, and the like, and nuts, ornamentals, apples, peaches, peas, citrus fruit and grape also require protection from the ravages of such pests. Insects which are difficult to control include those which inhabit the soil and cause destruction of the root systems of valuable agricultural crops. Corn rootworms are the larvae of several beetle species of the genus Diabrotica. The adult beetles lay their eggs in the soil of a maturing corn crop. The eggs lay dormant in the soil until the following spring, then they hatch in response to favorable soil temperatures and the larvae feed on the roots of young corn plants causing reduction in yield.
A broad scope of insecticide compounds have been developed to combat insects which are harmful to agricultural and horticultural plants.
Illustrative of insecticide compositions are those described in United States Patent Numbers 3,217,037;
3,506,698; 3,576,834; 3,636,111) 3,755,364; 3,875,232; 4,028,413; 4,128,581; 4,415,743; 4,640,927; 4,804,653; 4,839,349; 5,010,068; 5,087,456; 5,087,456; 5,096,928; and references cited therein.
There remains a continuing need for the development of new and more effective insecticides which possess contact or systemic insecticidal activity for the protection of cultivated plants, with a minimum of phytotoxic side effects.
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a biocide composition which is a blend of inorganic and organic compounds exhibiting insecticidal properties.
It is another object of this invention to provide an insecticide composition which is a dry blend of ingredients which include a combination of bicarbonate-containing inorganic compounds which enhances the biocidal activity of an insecticide ingredient.

The bicarbonate salt ingredients can be utilized in a broad range of molar quantities relative to each other. The molar quantity of a carbonate salt compound normally is determined by pH control considerations when aqueous formulations are prepared. The content of a carbonate salt compound can be varied to control the pH at a desired level in the range of 7.5-12.
The insecticidal ingredient of an invention fungicidal composition is included in a quantity which will provide a concentration between about 500 ppm and 10 weight percent of the medium which is being applied to seeds, plants, trees, harvested crops, soil, and the like. The medium can be a dry blend mixture or an aqueous spraying formulation. ^Th insecticide ingredient can be selected from a wide variety of organic compounds or mixtures which are known and used in agriculture and horticulture applications, such as those listed in
Agricultural Chemicals, Book I, Insecticides, 1989 Revision (W. T. Thomson, Thomson Publications, Fresno, California 93791) .
The general categories of insecticidal- active organic compounds include chlorinated hydrocarbon derivatives, phosphorated derivatives, pyrethroids, acylureas, and the like.
The chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides usually act as stomach and contact poisons affecting the nervous system. They are persistent in the environment and tend to accumulate in animal fatty tissue, as exemplified by DDT and chlordane.
The organic phosphates generally are contact and/or stomach poisons. They are less persistent in the environment than the chlorinated hydrocarbons. They are toxic since they generally are cholinesterase inhibitors, which interfere with nerve impulse transmission. Most of these compounds are characterized by relatively low LD50 values, although the value for alathion is 1400. Parathion is on of the best known organic phosphate systemic insecticides, and is considered a dangerous material to handle.
The carbamates are similar in action to the organic phosphate insecticides. These insecticides usually are not magnified in the food chain, and are characterized by rapid breakdown.
The synthetic pyrethroids react well with synergists and exhibit relatively low mammalian toxicity. Generally they break down rapidly and leave little residue. Illustrative of other insecticidal compounds are chlorfluazuron, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos methyl, bromophos, diazinon, malathion, trichlorfon, dimethoate, phorate, lindane, toxaphene, di lubenuron, methomyl, propoxur, carbaryl, cyhexatin, cypermethrin, permethrin, fenvalerate, dicofol, tetradifon, propargite, and the like.
Invention insecticide compositions can be in the form of dusting powders or granules, which optionally can include a solid diluent such as bentonite, calcium carbonate, magnesia, gypsum, kieselguhr, diatomaceous earth, and the like. Granules can be formed by impregnating pellets of filler with the insecticide composition ingredients, or by pelleting a dry blend insecticide composition in admixture with a powdered filler.
An invention insecticide composition also can be in the form of a dispersible powder in combination with a surfactant to facilitate dispersion of the powder in an aqueous medium. The surf ctant is incorporated in an insecticide composition in a quantity between about 1-20 weight percent, based on the weight of water-insoluble ingredients.
The surfactant can be a cationic, anionic or nonionic type, or a mixture thereof. Suitable surfactants include cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium dodecylbenzene- sulfonate, ammonium lignosulfonate, condensation products of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols, amines or alkylphenols, partial esters of fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, and the like.
A suspension agent also can be included as an ingredient in an insecticide composition, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, xanthan gum, guar gum, locust bean gum, gum acacia, gum tragacanth, potassium alginate, potato agar, and the like. The ingredients in an invention insecticide composition can be selected to include nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium elements, in a ratio that allows the composition to function as a fertilizer in addition to its function as an insecticide, when applied to cultivated crops.
An invention insecticide composition can include one or more other biologically active ingredients, such as those which exhibit herbicidal, fungicidal or plant growth regulating activity. The amount of the pesticidally-active ingredient in an invention composition depends upon the specific pest to be combatted, as well as upon the specific insecticidal ingredient and formulation being employed, the method of applying the formulation, and the locus of treatment. Spray dilutions may be as low as a few parts per million.
When plants constitute the locus of treatment, concentration per unit area may range between about 0.01-5.0 pounds per acre, with concentrations of between about 0.1-10 pounds per acre being employed for crops such as corn, tobacco, rice, and the like.
When soil is the locus of treatment, the pesticide ingredient is applied at a rate of about 0.25-12 pounds per acre. A fungicide composition of the present invention has a novel combination of properties for the practice of pesticide control in agricultural and horticultural applications.
Each of the inorganic salt ingredients exhibits fungicidal properties, and the efficacy of the insecticide ingredient is enhanced by the presence of the inorganic salt ingredients. A lesser quantity of insecticide ingredient then can be employed to achieve a desired degree of pest control.
A present invention insecticide composition can be formulated to exhibit little or no phytotoxicity, or to minimize the toxic effects of salt stress on plants by the inorganic salt ingredients. „
A significant feature of a present invention insecticide composition is the presence of at least two different alkali metal or ammonium
cations in the inorganic salt ingredients. This feature allows the formulation of high concentration aqueous formulations which have long term stability. There is improved compatibility with other formulation ingredients, and an increased synergistic effect of the inorganic salt ingredients on the insecticide ingredient.
