Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of controlling the growth of weeds, in particular barnyardgrass, using a herbicidal composition comprising mesotrione and fenoxaprop-ethyl.
  • herbicidal active ingredients have been shown to be more effective in combination than when applied individually, and this is referred to as "synergism", 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 fenoxaprop-ethyl, already known individually for their herbicidal properties, display a synergistic effect when applied in combination to weeds such as barnyardgrass.
  • 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 Manual', ibid, and are also commercially available.
  • Mesotrione (2-(2 ' -nitro-4 ' -methylsulphonylbenzoyl)- 1 ,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).
  • its structure can be represented as:
  • 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.
  • Fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is an aryloxyphenoxy propionate herbicide that inhibits fatty acid synthesis by inhibition of acetyl CoA carboxylase.
  • the chemical name for fenoxaprop-P- ethyl is ethyl ( ⁇ )-2-[4-[(6-chloro-2-benzoxazolyl)oxy]phenoxy]propanoate, and its structure can be represented as:
  • the present invention provides a method for controlling or modifying the growth of barnyard grass, comprising applying to the locus of the barnyardgrass, a herbicidally effective amount of a composition comprising a mixture of mesotrione and fenoxaprop-ethyl .
  • the composition contains a herbicidally effective amount of a combination of mesotrione and fenoxaprop-ethyl.
  • 'herbicide' as used herein denotes a compound which controls or modifies the growth of plants.
  • the term 'herbicidally effective amount' 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. Controlling or modifying effects include all deviation from natural development, for example: killing, retardation, leaf burn, albinism, dwarfing and the like. For example, plants that are not killed are often stunted and non-competitive with flowering disrupted.
  • the term 'plants' refers to all physical parts of a plant, including seeds, seedlings, saplings, roots, tubers, stems, stalks, foli age and fruits .
  • mesotrione is only one of a number of herbicides that act as HPPD inhibitors.
  • Other HPPD inhibitors are also known and may be used in the composition of the present invention in place of mesotrione.
  • other HPPD inhibitors for use in the present invention may be selected from the group consisting of triketones, isoxazoles, pyrazoles, benzobicyclon and ketospiradox. Further details of the individual compounds which fall within the triketones, isoxazoles and pyrazoles may be found in PCT Publication No.
  • HPPD inhibitors for use in the present invention in place of mesotrione include tembotrione, topramezone, and a compound of formula I
  • the designation 'mesotrione' includes the salts and chelated forms of mesotrione as well as the acid form and also includes any enolic tautomeric forms that may give rise to geometric isomers. Furthermore, in certain cases, the various substituents and/or chelated forms may contribute to optical isomerism and/or stereoisomerism. All such tautomeric forms, racemic mixtures and isomers are included within the scope of the present invention.
  • the mesotrione is present as the acid form. In a further embodiment, mesotrione is present as a salt or a metal chelate.
  • Suitable salts of mesotrione include salts of cations or anions which are known and accepted in the art for the formation of salts for agricultural or horticultural use. Such salts may be formed, for example, using amines, alkali metal bases, alkaline earth metal bases and quaternary ammonium bases.
  • metal chelates of 2-(substituted benzoyl)- 1,3-cyclohexanedione compounds including mesotrione are described, inter alia, in US Patent No. 5,912,207.
  • suitable metal chelates of mesotrione have the general structure:
  • M represents a di- or trivalent metal ion.
  • the di- or trivalent metal ion may be a Cu 2+ , Co 2+ , Zn 2+ , Ni 2+ , Ca 2+ , Al 3+ , i :3+ or Fe ion. More suitably, the metal ion may be a divalent transition metal ion such as Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Zn 2+ and Co 2+ . More suitably the metal ion may be Cu 2+ and Zn 2+ and most suitably Cu 2+ .
  • Herbicidal metal chelates of mesotrione for use in this invention may be prepared by the methods described in the aforementioned US Patent, or by the application and adaptation of known methods used or described in the chemical literature.
  • any appropriate salt which would be a source of a di- or trivalent metal ion may be used to form the metal chelate of the dione compound in accordance with this invention.
  • Particularly suitable salts include chlorides, sulphates, nitrates, carbonates, phosphates and acetates.
  • the composition for use in the invention comprises mesotrione and fenoxaprop-ethyl in a synergistically effective amount.

More suitably, the mixture ratio of mesotrione to fenoxaprop-ethyl herbicide is from about 1:5 to about 5:1 by weight, with a mixture ratio of from about 1:2 to about 2:1 by weight being particularly suitable.
  • the rate at which the composition of the invention is applied will depend upon the particular type of weed to be controlled, the degree of control required and the timing and method of application.
  • the compositions of the invention can be applied at an application rate of between 0.005 kilograms/hectare (kg/ha) and about 5.0kg/ha, based on the total amount of active ingredient (mesotrione and fenoxaprop-ethyl) in the composition.
  • An application rate of between about 0.1 kg/ha and about 3.0 kg/ha is preferred, with an application rate of between about 0.5 kg/ha and 1.2 kg/ha being especially preferred.
  • the rates used in the examples below are glasshouse rates and are lower than those normally applied in the field as herbicide effects tend to be magnified in such conditions.
