Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a herbicidal composition comprising L- glufosinate, salts, esters, or combinations thereof. More particularly, the present herbicidal composition is particularly useful for preplant bumdown. The present disclosure also provides a method for controlling undesired vegetation in burndown application using present herbicidal composition.
  • Herbicides are pesticides useful for killing or controlling unwanted plants or weeds. Generally, there are two kinds of herbicides - selective and non-selective herbicides. Selective herbicides kill certain target weeds while leaving the desired crop relatively unharmed, while non-selective herbicides kill both the weeds and crops. The weeds can reduce crop yields by competing for water, sunlight and nutrients. Therefore, profitable crop production depends on effective weed control.
  • a complete removal of weeds from the soil with herbicides before planting of the crops or in absence of any crops is referred to as “bumdown”. Weeds present at planting will generally grow much quicker than crop plants and thus compete very early in the growing season thereby damaging the crop plants and reducing crop yield. Therefore, it is desirable to plant the crop in a weed-free seed bed or to assure that essentially no weeds or unwanted plants are present when the crop is planted or before emergence of the crop.
  • the herbicides used in the pre-emergence stage of crop provide potential control of the weeds without the crop-weed competition in the initial stages of development, thereby increasing the yield of the crop.
  • Early burndown herbicide applications provide an opportunity to manage winter annual and other early emerging weeds before they become difficult to control.
  • preplant bumdown tank mixtures can remove early weed infestations and provide broad spectrum foliar and residual weed control.
  • Dicamba or 2,4-D is generally used in bumdown tank mixtures with glyphosate for post-emergence control of tough broadleaf weeds. Therefore, including a herbicide with residual activity in the bumdown tank mixture can help to extend early-season weed control and reduce in-season weed growth.
  • the inventors of the present disclosure provide a herbicidal composition and a method of use of the herbicidal composition for burndown application, which is associated to the use of pre-emergent herbicides for management of weeds in the crops.

  • Its ammonium salt (glufosinate-ammonium) is widely used as a non-selective herbicide and is an active ingredient of many commercial herbicide formulations.
  • the herbicidally active L- isomer of glufosinate is a structural analogue of glutamate and, therefore, is a competitive inhibitor of the enzyme glutamine synthetase (GS) of bacteria and plants.
  • the D-isomer is not a GS inhibitor and is not herbicidally active.
  • Glufosinate is a contact herbicide and is taken up by the plant primarily through the leaves. There is no uptake from the soil through the roots, presumably because of the rapid degradation of glufosinate by soil micro-organisms. Glufosinate has a wide spectrum of activity encompassing monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous species.
  • Glutamine synthetase is one of the most abundant enzymes in plant cells. It is essential for nitrogen metabolism because it catalyses the conversion of glutamate and ammonium into glutamine. The essential role of GS in plants makes the enzyme an interesting target for herbicides. Inhibition of GS has catastrophic consequences to plant metabolism, leading to a massive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to impairment of photosynthesis and photorespiration.
  • ROS reactive oxygen species
  • L-isomer of glufosinate can be used by micro-organisms as a source of nitrogen and is subject to microbial degradation. Fast dissipation of the DL-racemic mixture was found in all soils investigated under laboratory, as well as field conditions.
