Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of controlling the growth of weeds in turfgrass, using a herbicidal composition comprising mesotrione and primisulfuron.
  • herbicidal active ingredients have been shown to be more effective in combination than when applied individually, and this is referred to as' ⁇ ynergism", since the combination demonstrates a potency or activity level exceeding that which it would be expected to have based on knowledge of the individual potencies of the components.
  • the present invention resides in the discovery that mesotrione, or a salt or metal chelate thereof, and primisulfuron, already known individually for their herbicidal properties, display a synergistic and/or safening effect when applied in combination to weeds in turfgrass.
  • Reference to the term 'synergy as used herein, includes reference to a safening effect.
  • the herbicidal compounds forming the composition of this invention are independently known in the art for their effects on plant growth. They are disclosed in 'The Pesticide ManuaF, ibid, and are also commercially available.
  • Mesotrione (2-(2'-nitro-4'-methylsulphonylbenzoyl)-l,3-cyclohexanedione) is a member of an important class of selective herbicides, the triketones and works by affecting carotenoid biosynthesis. In particular, it inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase (it is an HPPD-inhibitor).
  • 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase it is an HPPD-inhibitor.

  • mesotrione In addition to the acid form, mesotrione also forms salts and metal chelate, for example, a copper chelate.
  • metal chelates are disclosed, inter alia, in US Patent No. 5,912,207 (the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference) where they are shown to have unexpectedly superior stability in certain environments when compared to unchelated mesotrione.
  • Mesotrione is best known for its ability to control a wide spectrum of broadleaf weeds at a wide range of growth stages when applied post-emergence on corn and turfgrass. It is typically used at a low rate (100-225 grams of active ingredient per hectare depending on herbicide formulation on application timing) to control weeds which are present at application and which emerge for up to four weeks afterwards. Once applied, mesotrione is rapidly absorbed by the leaves, shoots, roots and seeds. In susceptible weeds, it disrupts carotenoid biosynthesis, an essential process for plant growth and this leads to plant death. Unlike weeds, corn plants and certain turfgrass species are able to tolerate mesotrione by rapidly breaking down the active compound into inactive compounds.
  • Primisulfuron-methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide that inhibits ALS and so disrupts amino acid synthesis.
  • United States patent US-6,046,134 relates to herbicidal compositions comprising mesotrione and certain sulfonylurea herbicides. It does not expressly disclose methods of controlling weeds in turfgrass using mixtures of mesotrione and primisulfuron.
  • the present invention provides a method for controlling or modifying the growth of weeds in turfgrass, comprising applying to the turfgrass, a herbicidally effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of mesotrione and primisulfuron.
  • the method does not damage, or cause significant phyto toxicity to, the turfgrass.
  • the term'&gnificant phyto toxicity as used herein refers to phytotoxicity that would be commercially unacceptable, for example greater than 20% phytotoxicity as assessed 10 days after application.

  • 'herbicide 1 denotes a compound which controls or modifies the growth of plants.
  • 'herbicidally effective amounf indicates the quantity of such a compound or combination of such compounds which is capable of producing a controlling or modifying effect on the growth of plants.
