Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of controlling unwanted plant species.
- the present invention relates to methods for controlling unwanted aquatic vegetation growing in or adjacent to bodies of water.
- Aquatic vegetation is found in most bodies of water, such as streams, rivers, lakes and ponds. Generally, aquatic vegetation is beneficial to the natural aquatic environment or ecosystem in moderate amounts. Such vegetation is needed, inter alia, for food production and cover for fish. Aquatic vegetation produces oxygen, stabilizes bottom sediment, protects the shoreline from wave erosion, and serves as feeding and nesting habitat for waterfowl. Aquatic vegetation, however, can become so abundant that it interferes with the use of that body of water for recreational purposes, such as swimming, fishing, and boating. An over abundance of aquatic vegetation can impede water flow in drainage ditches, irrigation channels, and culverts causing water to back up into areas where it is not wanted.
- An over abundance of aquatic vegetation can also create a hazard for aquatic life, offensive odors, and breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
- An over abundance of aquatic vegetation can also interfere with the flow of water in equipment transporting water, for example, for crop irrigation purposes. Irrigation, the controlled application of water for agricultural, or other purposes through man made systems to supply water requirements not satisfied by rainfall, is highly relevant to the farmer. For example, vegetables are 80 to 95 percent water. Because they contain so much water, their yield and quality suffer very quickly from lack of water. Thus, for good yields and high quality, irrigation is essential to the production of most vegetables.
- Mechanical control of aquatic vegetation involves physically removing plants from the body of water. Hand pulling is effective to control cattails, willow trees and cottonwood trees while they are small. Raking is also used to remove algae and submerged vegetation in small areas in the body of water. Submerged vegetation also can be removed by pulling a chain or cable through the body of water between, for example, two tractors. Mechanical control is messy, time- consuming, temporary, and normally affects only a portion of the aquatic vegetation. It is the least effective method and may aggravate the problem since some aquatic plants spread through broken fragments and become new plants.
- Biological control of aquatic vegetation includes the use of the triploid
- Chemical control of aquatic vegetation requires the application of a chemical, i.e., an herbicide, to the body of water where the aquatic vegetation is located.
- a chemical i.e., an herbicide
- Herbicides known for use to control aquatic vegetation are copper sulfate, copper chelates, endothall, diquat, 2,4-D, fluridone, glyphosate, imazapyr, fluridone, and triclopyr (see for example http://www.rce.rutgers.edu/pubs/pdfs/fs386.pdf).
- some of these herbicides do not control both algae and aquatic plants; some have extended waiting periods of up to 30 days after treatment before the water can be used for irrigation; some should not be used at all if the water is to be used for irrigation, domestic use or watering livestock; some are toxic to fish; some are deleterious to desirable trees and shrubs growing along the banks of treated bodies of water.
- a newer class of herbicides different than those set forth above controls plants by disrupting certain functions in the plant cell.
- These herbicides are known as inhibitors of the enzyme protoporphyrinogen oxidase (commonly known as PPO- inhibitors), which cause disruption of cell membranes by inducing lipid peroxidation resulting in death to the plant.
- PPO- inhibitors commonly known as PPO- inhibitors
- An example of a . herbicidal PPO-inhibitor is carfentrazone ethyl:
- Carfentrazone-ethyl namely ethyl ⁇ ,2-dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5- dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-lH-l,2,4-triazol-l-yl]-4-fluorobenzenepropanoate, is disclosed and claimed in US Patent 5,125,958.
- Carfentrazone ethyl is known for its use in rice paddies to control weeds such as ricefield bulrush, small flower umbrellaplant, purple and redstem ammannia, and California arrowhead.
- Paddy rice is grown in a controlled aquatic environment, i.e., in paddies where tillage, planting, harvesting, and consistent management of water levels of about four to six inches occur throughout the growing season.
- weed control by application of an herbicide is designed to maximize the yield of rice.
- a natural aquatic environment includes, without limitation, ponds, streams, lakes, rivers, irrigation channels, ditches and the like where there is no tillage or crop management processes being conducted that would change the ecosystem or environment.
- a natural aquatic environment there is a constant flux in the water level as well as a differential in the depth of the water.
- PPO-inhibiting herbicides are useful in controlling aquatic vegetation.
- a method for controlling unwanted aquatic vegetation in a natural aquatic environment which • comprises applying an effective amount of one or more of a PPO-inhibiting herbicide, their agriculturally-acceptable salts, esters, acids, and metabolites to a locus where the aquatic vegetation is growing or is expected to grow.
- Other aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the description below.
- One aspect of the present invention relates to a method for controlling unwanted aquatic vegetation in a natural aquatic environment, which comprises applying an effective amount of one or more of a protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme-inhibiting herbicide, their agriculturally-acceptable salts, esters, acids, and metabolites to a locus where said vegetation is growing or is expected to grow.
- Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method for obtaining water for purposes of irrigation that is free of debris such as displaced aquatic vegetation, where the water source is from a natural aquatic environment such as streams, rivers, lakes, ponds and the like.
- the method comprises: i) controlling unwanted aquatic vegetation in a source of the water by application of an effective amount of one or more of a protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme-inhibiting herbicide, their agriculturally-acceptable salts, esters, acids, and metabolites to a locus where the vegetation is growing or is expected to grow; and, ii) transporting the water to a locus where a crop is growing or is expected to grow.
- Aquatic vegetation controlled by methods of the present invention is classified into general categories based on its growth form and location. These classes generally include aquatic algae and aquatic plants. Aquatic algae are primitive plants having no true leaves or flowers. There are three categories of algae, inter alia, controlled by methods of the present invention; planktonic, filamentous, and attached-erect forms. Planktonic algae gives water a greenish- brown tint, but individual plants cannot be seen without a microscope. Filamentous algae, often referred to as "moss", or "pond scum” floats freely and forms greenish mats on the surface of the water. The attached-erect forms often are mistaken for higher plants. This category of algae is characterized by its musky odor and gritty feel.
- algae are spirogyra, cladophora, and chara, to name a few.
- Preferred in the context of the present invention are methods for control of green algae Selenastrum capricornutum Printz, marine diatom Skeletonema costatum, freshwater diatom Navicula pelliculosa, and blue-green algae Anabaena flos-aquae
- Aquatic plants are a higher order of plant life than algae. There are four categories of aquatic plants, inter alia, controlled by the methods of the present invention; marginal plants, submersed plants, emersed plants, and floating plants. Marginal plants are those that grow in the saturated soil on the waters edge, for example cattails. Submersed plants are true seed plants rooted on the bottom that mostly remain underwater, but a few flowers rise above the surface of the water, for example, southern and brittle naiads. Emersed plants are rooted on the bottom with floating leaves and flowers, for example, arrowhead and waterwillow. Floating plants are free-floating plants, or are rooted, but their leaves raise and fall with the water level, for example, duckweed and waterlilies.
- aquatic plants include, without limitation, American eloda, bladderwort, buttercup, cabomba, clasping-leaf pondweed, coontail, curly-leaf pondweed, eel grass, flat- stemmed pondweed, horned pondweed, leafy pondweed, sago pondweed, small pondweed, water milfoil, waterstargrass, common duckweed, star duckweed, water lettuce, water hyacinth, water pennywort, watermeal, American lotus, American pondweed, floating pondweed, Illinois pondweed, largeleaf pondweed, spatterdock, waterpurslane, watershield, waterthread pondweed, bulrush, bur reed, creeping water primrose, pickeralweed, purple loosestrife, spikerush, salvinia, water smartweed, willow, and other aquatic plants.
- Preferred in the context of the present invention are methods for control of duckweed, defined as Lemna minor, Lem
- certain PPO-inhibiting herbicides find utility in controlling unwanted aquatic vegetation when applied by the methods of the present invention to a locus where the aquatic vegetation is growing or is expected to grow.

- a more preferred PPO-inhibiting herbicide for control of unwanted aquatic vegetation is carfentrazone ethyl.
- a most preferred embodiment of the present invention is that where the aquatic vegetation controlled is selected from Selenastrum capricornutum, Skeletonema costatum, Navicula pelliculosa, Anabaena flos-aquae, and Lemna sp.; and the PPO-inhibiting herbicide used for control of that aquatic vegetation is carfentrazone ethyl.
- carfentrazone ethyl and the metabolites of carfentrazone ethyl may provide selective herbicidal activity, thereby effectively controlling certain aquatic vegetation, such as algae and duckweed, and leaving certain less noxious aquatic vegetation, i.e., grasses such as cattails, relatively unaffected.
- Carfentrazone ethyl, the metabolites, the analogs, homologs or derivatives set forth herein may be prepared by the methods taught in US patent 5,125,958 or by methods analogous thereto, or by methods known to one skilled in the art.
- the PPO-inhibiting herbicides of the present invention may be combined with a second herbicide.
- a second herbicide may be the combination of one or more other herbicides that are known to have herbicidal activity on aquatic vegetation or are known for other uses, such as copper sulfate, copper chelates, endothall, diquat, 2,4-D, fluridone, glyphosate, imazapyr, fluridone, triclopyr, clomazone, hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, penoxsulam and bensulfuron.
- a preferable combination of PPO-inhibiting herbicide and herbicide known for activity on aquatic vegetation would be carfentrazone ethyl and one or more of copper sulfate, copper chelates, endothall, diquat, 2,4-D, fluridone, glyphosate, imazapyr, fluridone, triclopyr, clomazone, hydrogen peroxide' paracetic acid, penoxsulam and bensulfuron.
- protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme-inhibiting As used in this specification and unless otherwise indicated the terms “protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme-inhibiting”, “protoporphyrinogen oxidase enzyme-inhibitor”, “PPO- inhibiting”, or “PPO-inhibitor” as these terms relate to the herbicides of the present invention as set forth herein are one and the same.
- natural aquatic environment refers to bodies of water, such as ponds, streams, lakes, rivers, irrigation channels, ditches and the like where there is no tillage or crop management processes being conducted that would change the ecosystem or environment.
- irrigation refers to the controlled application of water for agricultural, or other purposes through man made systems to supply water requirements not satisfied by rainfall.
- crop refers to any and all vegetation propagated for use by man that may at times be in need of irrigation.
- transporting refers to any method employed by those skilled in the art to physically move water to a locus where its use is needed.
- controlling refers to the killing of, or minimizing the amount of aquatic vegetation to a point where it no longer poses a threat to clog waterways or equipment used for water handling.
- the formulation and mode of application of a toxicant may affect the activity of the material in a given application.
- the PPO- inhibiting herbicides finding utility in the present invention may be formulated as granules of relatively large particle size, as water-soluble or water-dispersible granules, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions, or as any of several other known types of formulations, depending on the desired mode of application. It is to be understood that the amounts specified in this specification are intended to be approximate only, as if the word "about" were placed in front of the amounts specified.
- herbicidal compositions may be applied either as water-diluted sprays, or dusts, or granules to the areas in which suppression of vegetation is desired. These formulations may contain as little as 0.1%, 0.2% or 0.5% to as much as 95% or more by weight of active ingredient.
- Dusts are free flowing admixtures of the active ingredient with finely divided solids such as talc, natural clays, kieselguhr, flours such as walnut shell and cottonseed flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which act as dispersants and carriers for the toxicant; these finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about 50 microns.
- a typical dust formulation useful herein is one containing 1.0 part or less of the herbicidal compound and 99.0 parts of talc.
- Wettable powders are in the form of finely divided particles, which disperse readily in water or other dispersant.
- the wettable powder is ultimately applied either as a dry dust or as an emulsion in water or other liquid.
- Typical carriers for wettable powders include Fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wet inorganic diluents.
- Wettable powders normally are prepared to contain about 5 - 80% of active ingredient, depending on the absorbency of the carrier, and usually also contain a small amount of a wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agent to facilitate dispersion.
- a useful wettable powder formulation contains 80.0 parts of the herbicidal compound, 17.9 parts of Palmetto clay, and 1.0 part of sodium lignosulfonate and 0.3 part of sulfonated aliphatic polyester as wetting agents.
- ECs emulsifiable concentrates
- ECs emulsifiable concentrates
- ECs emulsifiable concentrates
- these concentrates are dispersed in water or other liquid carrier and normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated.
- the percentage by weight of the essential active ingredient may vary according to the manner in which the composition is to be applied, but in general comprises 0.5 to 95% of active ingredient by weight of the herbicidal composition.
- Flowable formulations are similar to ECs except that the active ingredient is suspended in a liquid carrier, generally water.
- Flowables like ECs, may include a small amount of a surfactant, and will typically contain active ingredients in the range of 0.5 to 95%, frequently from 10 to 50%, by weight of the composition.
- flowables may be diluted in water or other liquid vehicle, and are normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated.
- Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents used in certain formulations include, but are not limited to, the alkyl and alkylaryl sulfonates and sulfates and their sodium salts; alkylaryl polyether alcohols; sulfated higher alcohols; polyethylene oxides; sulfonated animal and vegetable oils; sulfonated petroleum oils; fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the ethylene oxide addition products of such esters; and the addition product of long chain mercaptans and ethylene oxide.
- Many other types of useful surface - active agents are available in commerce. Surface-active agents, when used, normally comprise 1 to 15% by weight of the composition.
- Still other useful formulations for herbicidal applications include simple solutions of the active ingredient in a solvent in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentration, such as acetone, alkylated naphthalenes, xylene, or other organic solvents.
- Granular formulations, wherein the toxicant is carried on relative coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of a cover canopy.
- Pressurized sprays, typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a low-boiling dispersant solvent carrier may also be used.
- Water-soluble or water-dispersible granules are free-flowing, non-dusty, and readily water-soluble or water-miscible.
- the granular formulations, emulsifiable concentrates, flowable concentrates, solutions, etc. may be diluted with water to give a concentration of active ingredient in the range of say 0.1% or 0.2% to 1.5% or 2%.

- 200 mL each of the appropriate test solution as set forth above were placed in clean, sterile 500 mL Erlenmeyer flasks each equipped with a foam plug.
- a total of fifteen fronds of duckweed were then placed in each of the Erlenmeyer flasks.
- the flasks were then positioned in a random fashion using a computer-generated random table and incubated for 14 days at 25 °C ⁇ 2 °C under 5010 lux ⁇ 810 lux of continuous warm-white fluorescent light.
- a blank containing acetone only and a control containing the 20 ⁇ g/L test solution without duckweed were included in the test.

- Chlorotic fronds were defined as fronds possessing areas of progressive bleaching in color from green to yellow. Fronds noted as necrotic possessed localized regions of dead or decaying tissue, usually surrounded by healthy tissue. Those fronds possessing only all brown or white tissue were considered dead. Fronds possessing no chlorotic or necrotic characteristics were considered normal. Every frond that was visibly projecting beyond the edge of the parent frond was counted. The counts were made at approximately the same time each day of observation. The results follow: Table 1

- control of duckweed is improved greatly.
- duckweed was reduced by about 80% at 4 days after exposure.
- a primary standard comprised of 320 ⁇ g/mL of carfentrazone-ethyl was prepared by adding 0.0349 gram of carfentrazone-ethyl to 100 mL of acetone. A 0.20 mL aliquot of the primary standard was added to 2000 mL of an algal nutrient medium to prepare a 0.032 ⁇ g/mL working standard.
- Serial dilutions of the 32 ⁇ g/L standard were done by placing aliquots of 31.2 mL, 62.5 mL, 125 mL, 250 mL, and 500 mL of the standard into 1000 mL volumetric flasks and diluting to 1000 mL with a sterile algal test medium to provide test concentrations of carfentrazone-ethyl , of 1.0 ⁇ g/L, 2.0 ⁇ g/L, 4.0 ⁇ g/L, 8.0 ⁇ g/L, 16 ⁇ g/L, and 32 ⁇ g/L, respectively.

A 5.5 mL aliquot of Selenastrum capricomutum Printz was pipetted into each of the test flasks.
- Each 5.5 mL aliquot contained a cell count of about 0.33 x 10 "3 cells of algae/mL of algal nutrient, as determined with a hemacytometer and an Olympus Model BH-2 microscope.
- the flasks were then positioned in a random fashion, incubated for 120 hours at 24 °C ⁇ 2 °C under about 4300 lux of continuous warm-white fluorescent light, and oscillated at about 100 rpm.
- a blank containing acetone and algal nutrient only was included in the test.
