Definitions
- This invention relates to an aqueous herbicidal composition and method for killing or controlling the growth of brush, scrub, arborescent or woody plants such as bushes, shrubs or trees.
- Herbicides useful herein are water-soluble and do not on their own readily penetrate the bark of dormant woody stems or bark near the base of dormant or non-dormant woody plants.
- a herbicidal composition of this invention comprises a water-soluble herbicide such as a salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine ("glyphosate”), in aqueous solution with a suitable surfactant composition that provides enhanced effectiveness when applied to bark.
- glyphosate N-phosphonomethylglycine
- Surfactant compositions without herbicide, are also provided, these being themselves useful as carriers for, or adjuvants to, a water soluble herbicide when that herbicide is applied to bark, or even for applications other than to bark. Described herein are aqueous herbicidal compositions and surfactant compositions found to be useful for this purpose, as well as a method for using these herbicidal and surfactant compositions. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
- Certain water-soluble herbicides are useful for suppressing the growth of or killing unwanted woody plants (trees, shrubs, brush, etc.). These herbicides may be formulated in aqueous media that are effective when applied to foliage, but they tend not to give the desired herbicidal effectiveness when applied to bark, such as on dormant woody stems or near the base of dormant or non-dormant woody plants. It is believed that the failure of these aqueous applications is a product of inadequate penetration of the herbicide through the highly hydrophobic or water-repellent outer layers of the bark.
- Through-bark applications are, nevertheless, desired methods of herbicidal treatment.
- the bark near the base of a woody plant may prove more accessible and readily covered than the foliage of such a plant.
- Through-bark application also permits control of deciduous woody species during winter or other months of sparse foliage, thereby extending the useful season for herbicidal treatment.
- Aqueous herbicidal formulations are desirable, both for their ease of handling and for their benign environmental impact (as compared to oil-based formulations).
- the present invention provides a surfactant composition that permits the use of aqueous herbicidal formulations in woody stem applications. This is accomplished through the use of certain organosilicone surfactants, in combination with glycol or glycol ester (and possibly other) materials.
- Water-soluble herbicides such as glyphosate salts
- surfactants for foliar application, so that when water is added, the resulting sprayable composition will more easily and effectively cover the foliage (e.g., the leaves or other photosynthesizing organs) of plants.
- glyphosate salts have been formulated with surfactants such as polyoxyalkylene-type surfactants including, among other surfactants, polyoxyalkylene alkylamines.
- Commercial formulations of glyphosate herbicide marketed under the trademark ROUNDUP® have been formulated by Monsanto with such a polyoxyalkylene alkylamine, in particular a polyoxyethylene tallowamine, identified as MON 0818.
- a herbicidal composition of the present invention is substantially aqueous or water-miscible or water-soluble, thereby avoiding the expense and environmental impacts of the oil-based systems.
- the present invention is especially useful in the control of bushy plants such as salt cedar, alder, Brazilian pepper, mesquite, red maple, hickory, and greenbriars. It also permits application of herbicide during winter months, when the species to be controlled may have lost their foliage. It can readily be appreciated that the herbicide uptake behavior for plant stem tissue is dramatically different from that for foliar tissue. Thus different techniques and approaches to enhancement of uptake are warranted. It has been found that the surfactant composition of the present invention is especially useful for this purpose.
- the invention can be described as an aqueous herbicidal composition useful for controlling woody plants when applied to bark, and in particular to bark in basal and dormant stem regions of such plants. More specifically, the herbicidal composition of this invention comprises (a) water, having dissolved or dispersed therein (b) a herbicidally effective amount of a water-soluble herbicide and (c) about 10% to about 90% by weight of a surfactant composition.
- the surfactant composition comprises: (i) about 5% to about 35% by weight of one or more polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane surfactant(s) each having a structure corresponding to formula (I):
- R ! 3 3 R ' l 1 R ' 3 3 (I) where R 1 is -C n H 2n O(CH 2 CH 2 0) a (CH 2 CH(CH 3 )0) b R 2 , in which n is 1 to 6, a is 1 to about 30, b is 0 to about 3 and R is hydrogen or a C].
- R 1 is -C n H 2n O(CH 2 CH 2 0) a (CH 2 CH(CH 3 )0) b R 2 , in which n is 1 to 6, a is 1 to about 30, b is 0 to about 3 and R is hydrogen or a C].
- R groups are independently linear or branched C -6 alkylene groups, x is 1 to about 4 and
- R is hydrogen or a C
- the invention can also be described as a method for controlling woody plants comprising a step of applying to bark, and in particular to bark in basal or dormant stem regions of such plants an amount of an aqueous herbicidal composition as just described sufficient to substantially injure or kill the plants.
- a preferred water-soluble herbicide for use in a composition or method of the invention is a salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine.
- compositions and methods of the present invention through which good control of woody plants is achieved by basal or dormant stem, or other bark, application of an aqueous herbicidal composition.
- the herbicides useful in a composition or method of this invention are water-soluble herbicides and are preferably present at a concentration of about 5% to about 50% by weight of a contemplated composition.
- Any water-soluble herbicide which has herbicidal activity against woody, brush or arborescent plants can be used, but it is preferred to use a water-soluble salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine (glyphosate), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), dicamba, triclopyr or imazapyr.
- the invention is more particularly described with respect to glyphosate and herbicidal derivatives thereof such as salts and other water-soluble compounds which are converted to glyphosate in plant tissues or which otherwise provide glyphosate ion.
- herbicidal derivatives thereof such as salts and other water-soluble compounds which are converted to glyphosate in plant tissues or which otherwise provide glyphosate ion.
- glyphosate when used herein is to be understood to encompass such derivatives unless the context requires otherwise.
- Glyphosate salts that can be used according to this invention include (but are not restricted to) alkali metal, for example sodium and potassium, salts; ammonium salt; C
- the herbicidal compositions sold by Monsanto Company as ROUNDUP®, ROUNDUP® ULTRA and ACCORD® herbicides contain the monoisopropylammonium (IPA) salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine.
- the herbicidal compositions sold by Monsanto Company as ROUNDUP® DRY and RIVAL® herbicides contain the ammonium salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine.
- the herbicidal composition sold by Monsanto Company as ROUNDUP® GEOFORCE herbicide contains the sodium salt of N- phosphonomethylglycine.
- the herbicidal composition sold by Zeneca Limited as TOUCHDOWN® herbicide contains the trimethylsulfonium salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine.
- ammonium, alkylammonium, alkanolammonium, alkylsulfonium and alkali metal salts of glyphosate are highly water-soluble, thereby allowing for highly concentrated solutions that may be diluted at the site of use.
- "Herbicidal effectiveness,” as used herein, refers to the observable (and desired) degree of control, which is inclusive of the actions of (1) killing, (2) inhibiting growth, reproduction or proliferation, and (3) removing, destroying, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of plants, and is applicable to any of these actions, or any combinations thereof.
- control as a percentage following the standard procedure in the art which reflects a visual assessment of plant mortality and growth reduction by comparison with untreated plants, made by technicians specially trained to make and record such observations. In all cases, a single technician makes all assessments of percent control within any one experiment or trial. Such measurements are relied upon and regularly reported by the Monsanto Company in the course of its herbicide business. Typically, adequate herbicidal effectiveness for commercial use corresponds to about 85% control, but in the brush and woody weed control applications in which the present invention is useful, minimum acceptable control levels are often lower than 85%.
- the surfactant composition of the present invention is selected with several objectives in mind. First, it is believed that previously known aqueous herbicide compositions generally give poor herbicidal effectiveness when applied to bark because the herbicide does not penetrate bark well when applied in such compositions. Therefore, without being bound by theory, it is believed that the surfactant composition of the present invention is able, when applied in a tank mix or in a premixed formulation with the herbicide component, to enhance penetration of the herbicide through the bark of woody trunks and stems. One way to accomplish this is to provide more intimate contact between the applied herbicidal composition and the microtopographically rough surface of the bark, for example by flattening the contact angle of the composition, so as to permit the composition to spread into crevices and pores in the bark.
- the surfactant composition may also enhance sticking or adhesion to bark when used in aqueous solution, and it may allow the solution to dry on a time scale that is effective to permit penetration. It has been found that a surfactant composition containing certain combinations of a polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane surfactant and one or more glycols, with optional additional ingredients, enhances herbicide uptake ⁇ possibly by the route detailed above.
- a contemplated herbicidal composition contains about 10% to about 90% by weight and preferably about 25% to about 75% of the selected surfactant composition.
- Suitable surfactant compositions can be prepared using polyoxyethylene heptamethyl trisiloxanes, which have the following general formula:
- n is 3 such that a n-propylene or -(CH 2 ) 3 - bridge is present between the middle silicon atom of the trisiloxane group and the polyoxyethylene chain, a is about 5 to about 15 and b is 0.
- Especially preferred trisiloxanes of this type are those sold commercially in the United States or elsewhere by OSi Specialties as Silwet® L-77, Silwet® 408 and Silwet® 800, by Dow-Corning as Sylgard® 309, and by Exacto, Inc.. as Qwikwet ® 100.
- R is hydrogen.
- a contemplated surfactant composition useful in this invention contains about 5% to about 35% by weight, preferably about 5% to about 20% by weight, of the polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane.
- a blend of more than one polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane can be used, in which case the preferred total amount of all polyoxyalkylene trisiloxanes present in the surfactant composition is as above.
- the surfactant composition used in the present invention contains a glycol or glycol ester of formula (II) above.
- a contemplated surfactant composition contains about 50% to about 95%) by weight of the glycol or glycol ester.
- Preferred glycols and glycol esters include but are not limited to monoethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol or the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl or t-butyl ethers thereof, dipropylene glycol or the methyl, ethyl, n- propyl, n-butyl or t-butyl ethers thereof, tripropylene glycol, or the methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, n-butyl or t- butyl ethers thereof, 1,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 2-methyl-l,3-propanediol, 2,2-dimethyl-l,3- propanediol, 2-methyl-l,3-pentanediol and 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol.
- glycols having 4 or more carbon atoms More preferred are glycols having 4 or more carbon atoms. Of these, 2-methyl-l,3-propanediol and 1,4-butanediol are the most preferred glycols.
- a blend or mixture of several glycols may be used, in which case the preferred total amount of all glycols present is as above. In such a case, it is further preferred that at least one of the glycols in the blend be a C 4 or higher glycol, especially 2-methyl-l,3-propanediol or 1 ,4-butanediol.
- the surfactant composition contains about 50% to about 80% by weight of
- the glycol or glycol ester component brings numerous advantages, including the unexpected advantage that it increases penetration of a herbicidal composition into or through bark.
- a mixture composition containing a relatively large amount of the former, for example 75-90% by weight, and a relatively small amount of the latter, for example 10-25% by weight is in most cases much more economical in use than a composition consisting entirely of the polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane.
- a mixture composition as just described has been found to provide effectiveness of a herbicide co-applied to bark at least equal to that provided by the same amount of a polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane alone.
- Another advantage of a glycol or glycol ester in the present invention is that it lowers the pour point of the composition, which is the minimum temperature at which the composition can readily be poured.
- a surfactant composition useful in the present invention may include additional ingredients, including other surfactants. It often proves desirable to employ additional surfactants in order, for example, to moderate the spreading properties imparted to the composition by the polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane component.
- the surfactant composition contains a spread inhibiting amount of about 5% to about 30% by weight of one or more nonionic surfactant(s).
- sample inhibiting refers to a test that can be conducted on any suitable homogeneous substrate, but herein refers specifically to a test conducted on a substrate of Parafilm® M.
- a single 10 microliter droplet of a test solution is deposited from a micropipette on to the Parafilm® M substrate and the diameter of spread of the droplet is measured after 30 seconds.
- Test solutions are prepared at equal polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane concentrations, typically 0.1% by weight.
- a polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane surfactant and a nonionic surfactant are selected for a test to determine whether or not the nonionic surfactant inhibits the spreading property of the polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane surfactant.
- Test solution A is prepared containing only the selected polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane surfactant.
- Test solution B is prepared containing the selected polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane surfactant and the selected nonionic surfactant at a selected weight/weight ratio.
- a "spread inhibiting amount" of a nonionic surfactant in a surfactant composition of the invention is an amount in relation to the amount of polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane present that produces a positive result in the test just described. For example, the spread diameter of 0.1% by weight of the polyoxyalkylene trisiloxane
- Qwikwet ® 100 in the above test is 8.8 mm.
- the spread diameter of a mixture of Qwikwet ® 100 and the nonionic surfactant NeodolTM 91-6, each at 0.1% by weight, is 7.0 mm. This is a positive result, demonstrating that when NeodolTM 91-6 is present in a surfactant composition at a 1 : 1 weight/weight ratio with Qwikwet ® 100, it is present in a spread inhibiting amount as defined herein.
- nonionic surfactants for inclusion in surfactant compositions useful in the invention are polyoxyethylene (5-30) C 8-22 alkylethers and polyoxyethylene (5-30) C 8 _ ⁇ 2 alkylphenylethers, wherein "(5-30)" means that the average number of ethylene oxide units in the polyoxyethylene chains of these surfactants is from about 5 to about 30.
- nonionic surfactants include polyoxyethylene nonylphenols, octanols, decanols and trimethylnonanols.
- Particular nonionic surfactants that have proved useful include NeodolTM 91-6 of Shell (a polyoxyethylene (6) C 9 .u linear primary alcohol),
- NeodolTM 1-7 of shell (a polyoxyethylene (7) C n linear primary alcohol), TergitolTM 15-S-9 of Union Carbide (a polyoxyethylene (9) C ]2 ., 5 secondary alcohol) and SurfonicTM NP95 of Huntsman (a polyoxyethylene (9.5) nonylphenol).
- nonionic surfactants may likewise be found useful, including without restriction polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene block copolymers and alkyl polyglucosides.
- Cationic, anionic or amphoteric surfactants may also be included if desired.
- additional ingredients include pour point depressants (other than the glycols mentioned above).
- pour point depressants include methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n- butanol, isobutanol, amyl alcohol, methyl amyl alcohol, cyclohexanol, 2-ethylhexanol, furfuryl alcohol, and d-limonene.
- surfactant compositions of the invention which are intended for mixing with a water soluble herbicide composition, it is preferred that less than 5% by weight of the composition be water. It is especially preferred that there be substantially no water present in the surfactant composition.
- compositions of the invention encompasses compositions additionally containing one or more oils, which may be of vegetable origin (such as methylated vegetable oils) or petroleum derived, together with any standard formulation ingredients such as emulsifiers that might be used to stabilize the oil in the aqueous composition.
- oils which may be of vegetable origin (such as methylated vegetable oils) or petroleum derived, together with any standard formulation ingredients such as emulsifiers that might be used to stabilize the oil in the aqueous composition.
- a herbicidal composition of the present invention is applied as an aqueous solution or dispersion.
- aqueous as used herein is not intended to exclude the presence of some small amount of nonaqueous solvent, so long as the predominant solvent present, other than the glycol or glycol ester component of the surfactant composition, is water.
- aqueous herbicidal composition The relative amounts of water, herbicide and surfactant composition present in a contemplated aqueous herbicidal composition will vary depending upon many factors including the plant species to be controlled, the method of application, and the rate of application.
- stable aqueous concentrate compositions of the present invention can be made with glyphosate salts at a concentration from about 5% to about 50%, preferably from about 10% to about 30%, with surfactant composition at a concentration of about 10% to about 90%, preferably about 25% to about 75%, and water making up the balance to 100%.
- These concentrate compositions can be used without dilution, or diluted before application at the site of use.
- Aqueous herbicidal compositions of the present invention can be applied to the bark of basal and/or dormant stem portions of the plants to be treated through any of the appropriate methods that are well known to those having skill in the art. Typically, through-bark applications are made on an individual plant (rather than a field) basis, employing backpack sprayers or similar equipment.
