NOVEL HERBICIDAL COMBINATION
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel herbicidal composition comprising of (a) triazinyl sulfonylurea (b) synthetic auxin and (c) a phenyl pyrazoline. Particularly the present invention relates to a synergistic herbicidal composition comprising the triazinyl sulfonyl urea herbicide is metsulfuron methyl, the synthetic auxin is fluroxypyr meptyl and phenyl pyrazoline is pinoxaden in synergistically effective amounts which is suitable for preventing unwanted plants in wheat crops.
More particularly the present invention provides a method for controlling undesired plants or inhibiting their growth, which comprises applying a herbicidally effective amount of the said composition to the undesired plants or to a place where they grow.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Herbicides are the most used method in our country and worldwide for the control of weed due to easy application, getting the results in a short time, having long lasting and powerful effect. They have nowadays increasingly become the most important and indispensable control method in agricultural production. They are used for a long time to increase the production of agricultural activities.
But the continued use of herbicides created many problems like weed resistance, shift weed in shift flora, and environment hazards. From this all-problems herbicide resistance is very serious problem in present time all over the world. The main reasons for resistance are lack of rotation of the herbicide and use of herbicides with long residue period. Herbicide resistance is a worldwide phenomenon and the number of resistant biotypes of weeds is increasing at an alarming rate. Currently there are 480 cases of herbicide resistance in 252 plant species. Herbicide resistance in weeds should be minimized because it is a major limiting factor of food security. A proper knowledge of development and mechanism of resistance would help us with its management. Herbicide resistance problems are controlled with integrated weed management practices, including crop and herbicide rotations, herbicide combinations, and cultural, mechanical, and biological methods of weed control.
Hence, there is always a need for new active ingredients or new combinations of existing active ingredients to overcome the existing problems faced in the agricultural industry.
Compositions comprising a single herbicidally active component suffer from numerous drawbacks such as formation of resistant weeds, requirement of high amount and concentration of the active ingredient, environmental damage, seepage of the active component into ground water, phytotoxicity and harmful effects on the health of animals and humans.
Active compounds having different mechanisms of action are combined to delay the generation of resistance and reduce the amount of application and prevention and treatment costs. Consequently, research is being conducted to produce herbicides and combinations of herbicides that are safer, that have better performance, that require lower dosages, that are easier to use, and that cost less.
Metsulfuron-methyl is an organic compound classified as a sulfonylurea herbicide, which kills broadleaf weeds and some annual grasses. It is a pre-emergence and post-emergence herbicide used to control annual grasses, brushes, woody plants, and broadleaf weeds. It can be applied to cereals including barley, rye, and wheat and to pastures. It is primarily used to control brush, woody plants and broadleaf weeds on rights-of-way, fence rows, storage areas, highways, and other non-crop areas.
Metsulfuron methyl is chemically known as methyl 2-(N-((4-methoxy-6-methyl- l,3,5-triazin-2-yl) carbamoyl) sulfamoyl) benzoate that inhibits the acetolactate synthase (ALS) in plants as described in US 4394506 and has the following structure:

SYNERGY STUDIES:
Wheat is the main cereal crop in India. In India, it is grown on an area of 31.6 million hectare with an annual production of 106.84 million tons. Successful weed control is the most important factor for fruitful wheat production because losses due to weeds have been one of the major limiting factors in wheat production. Weeds compete with crops for light moisture and nutrients. It was concluded that weeds exhibit economic yield losses to the wheat crop, which may range from 24-39.95% and these must be controlled during the full growing season of the crop for achieving satisfactory crop yields. Traditionally, weed control in India has been largely dependent on manual weeding. However, increased labour scarcity and costs are encouraging farmers to adopt herbicides.
Field studies were conducted to compare the weed controlling activity of the combination of Metsulfuron methyl, Fluroxypyr meptyl and Pinoxaden. Metsulfuron Methyl belongs to chemical class Sulfonylureas with ALS inhibitor (inhibition of acetolactate synthase) mode of action & Fluroxypyr meptyl belongs to Chemical class Pyridyloxy-carboxylates and its mode of action is based on AUXIN MIMICS. The active ingredient Pinoxaden in the combination, belongs to the chemical class of phenyl pyrazolines and its mode of action is based on inhibition of the Acetylcoenzyme A carboxylase. Combination has the potential of controlling the crossspectrum weeds (broad leaf weeds & grassy weeds) in wheat at the post-emergence (30- 40 DAS or 10 days after 1st irrigation to wheat) application timing. All the molecules are safe to wheat when applied at their recommended dose rate in post-emergence (30- 40 DAS or 10 days after 1st irrigation to wheat) application timing.
The weed control activity of the individual herbicides of the invention and their combinations were evaluated on weeds such as Phalaris minor Malva parviflora, Melilotus alba & Rumex dentatus album. Trials were conducted with randomized block design with net plot size of 5 m x 6 m. Each trial was replicated four times and conducted under GEP guidelines. Spraying was done with manual operated backpack knapsack sprayer with 400 L of water spray volume per hectare at post-emergence application timing. Such field trials were carried out at various locations to generate independent data, the locations were chosen randomly across India.
Visual observations were recorded on percent weed control for individual weeds on whole plot basis at 30 days after application. These observations are to be taken from the entire plot.
Appropriate analysis of plant response to herbicide combination is critical in determining the type of activity observed. The most widely used model is the one Gowing* derived and Colby** modified. Gowing described a mathematical formula for calculating the predicting response values for pesticide mixtures. He suggested the expected (E) percent inhibition of growth induced by pesticide A plus pesticide B and plus pesticide C is as follows, *(Jerry Flint et al, 1988) ***
(AB + AC + BC) ABC
Expected (E) = A + B + C - - + -
100 10000
Where,
A = observed efficacy of active ingredient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingredient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
C = observed efficacy of active ingredient C at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
When the percentage of pesticidal control observed for the combination is greater than the expected percentage, there is a synergistic effect. (Ratio of O/E > 1, means synergism observed.) Reference:

The herbicide combinations, application rates, plant species tested, and results are given in the following tables:
Table 6: Demonstrates synergy on weeds using the combination of Metsulfuron methyl, Fluroxypyr meptyl and Pinoxaden, in post-emergence application window. The field trials were carried out in India at various locations. The percentage efficacy was calculated after 30 days of application. The target weed was Phalaris minor, and the results are recorded in the table below.
Figure imgf000019_0001
EC - Emulsion concentrate; WP - Wettable powder; WDG - Water dispersible granules; and GAH - Gram Active per hectare.
The results in table 6, clearly demonstrate synergy between a three-way combination of Metsulfuron methyl, Fluroxypyr meptyl and Pinoxaden in post-emergence application timing against Phalaris minor. The higher ratio of the observed and the expected efficacy clearly demonstrates the synergistic effect of the combination. However, all two-way combinations showed lower ratio of the observed and the expected efficacy, which clearly showed the no synergistic effect of the combination against weeds like Phalaris minor.
