The present invention relates to formulations based on 2-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4′-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinones and a preemergence herbicide, to their preparation and to mixtures thereof, and to their use as an agrochemical formulation with improved biological action and enhanced control of broadleaf and gramineous weeds.
The active ingredient 2-[(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl]-4,4′-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidinone (CAS number 81777-95-9 or IUPAC 2-(2,4-dichlorobenzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one, abbreviated hereinafter to DCPMI), and also, for example, as a preemergence herbicide flufenacet, 4′-fluoro-N-isopropyl-2-(5-trifluoromethyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yloxy)acetanilide, abbreviated hereinafter to FFA, are active herbicidal ingredients. The two active ingredients are used typically in aqueous formulations such as, for instance, capsule suspension and suspension concentrates. The formulations are usually applied preemergence, with preemergence referring here to the emergence of the broadleaf and gramineous weeds. The active ingredients here, rather than acting via leaf uptake, are spread over the soil and then taken up via the roots, the seed and/or the plant just as it has started germinating (hypocotyl).
DCPMI is used in herbicidal compositions and mixtures or employed as a selective grass herbicide, as described, for example, in WO2015/127259 A1 or WO2012/148689 A. Capsule suspensions (CS) and suspension concentrates (SC) of DCPMI are known from WO2019/076744, WO 2018/024839 and PCT/EP2019/061009 and also from WO2015/127259.
Active ingredient formulations for foliar applications are typically optimized by addition of penetration enhancers, such as, for instance, oils or ethoxylated alcohols, in such a way that the active ingredient penetrates quickly through the leaf into the plant.
In the case of soil application, conversely, there are only a few known auxiliaries that ensure improved uptake into the seed, germinating plant or root. In addition, with soil application, not only is the mechanism of action of the auxiliaries unknown in the majority of cases, but also the activity of the auxiliaries is very heavily dependent on the active ingredient. Thus there are also only very few auxiliaries known which influence soil uptake. Known formulations include those containing humectants, as described in WO2014/159948. Likewise known are phenoxypolyalkylenoxy sulfates or phosphates as described in WO 2018/141594.
A disadvantage of the known formulations is that the weed control action is often inadequate, so either achieving at best an insufficient effect or necessitating high usage rates.
DCPMI is often applied using capsule suspensions, which are also even weaker in their effect than suspension concentrates.
A further disadvantage of the known formulations is that auxiliaries often have at best a much weaker effect under dry conditions. Given the plain impossibility to the farmer of a long-term weather forecast over weeks or even possibly over months in the case of fall application, there is a need for a reliable formulation whose very good activity remains consistent under both humid and wet conditions.
An object of the invention, thus, was to provide optimized formulations displaying, under both humid and dry conditions, a significantly better effect than the known formulations. The optimized effect here ought to be manifested preemergence in particular. The effect here ought not only to be better, but also to remain consistently high under humid and dry conditions.
As well as the boosted effect, it is desirable for the crop selectivity not to be lowered.
The object of the present invention has been achieved with the formulations of the invention as described below.
The present invention therefore provides (agrochemical) formulations comprising
a) DCPMI and/or at least one preemergence herbicide,

The non-a) active agrochemical ingredients d) may be selected from the group of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and nematicides; preferably, d) is a further herbicide.
Likewise provided by the present invention are water-dispersible suspension concentrates (SC), capsule suspension concentrates (CS), and also mixtures of SC and CS ((ZC) formulations) obtainable by the method of the invention.
The SC of the invention can be produced by those methods known in the prior art, for example by wet grinding of the components in bead mills (such as discontinuous bead mills or continuous bead mills), or colloid mills (such as toothed colloid mills). The CS are produced by interfacial polymerization.

The invention further relates to a herbicidal composition which can be produced from the SCs according to the invention by diluting with liquids, preferably water.
It may be advantageous to add further active compounds to the herbicidal compositions thus obtained, preferably agrochemical active compounds (for example as tankmix partners in the form of appropriate formulations) and/or auxiliaries and additives customarily used, for example self-emulsifying oils such as vegetable oils or paraffin oils and/or fertilizers. The present invention therefore also provides such compositions, preferably herbicides, based on the formulations of the invention.
A particular embodiment of the invention relates to the use of the herbicidal compositions obtainable from the SCs according to the invention for control of unwanted vegetation, referred to hereinafter as “herbicidal composition”.
The herbicidal compositions have excellent herbicidal efficacy against a broad spectrum of economically important mono- and dicotyledonous harmful plants. There is also good control over difficult-to-control perennial weeds which produce shoots from rhizomes, rootstocks or other permanent organs. The herbicidal compositions may be applied, for example, by the pre-sowing, pre-emergence or post-emergence method. Specific examples of some representatives of the monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weed flora which can be controlled by the herbicidal compositions are mentioned by way of example, though the enumeration is not intended to impose a restriction to particular species.
Examples of weed species which are controlled efficiently are, among the monocotyledonous weed species, Apera spica venti, Avena spp., Alopecurus spp., Brachiaria spp., Digitaria spp., Lolium spp., Echinochloa spp., Panicum spp., Phalaris spp., Poa spp., Setaria spp. and also Bromus spp. such as Bromus catharticus, Bromus secalinus, Bromus erectus, Bromus tectorum and Bromus japonicus and Cyperus species from the annual group, and, among the perennial species, Agropyron, Cynodon, Imperata and Sorghum and also perennial Cyperus species. In the case of dicotyledonous weed species, the spectrum of action extends to species such as, for example, Abutilon spp., Amaranthus spp., Chenopodium spp., Chrysanthemum spp., Galium spp. such as Galium aparine, Ipomoea spp., Kochia spp., Lamium spp., Matricaria spp., Pharbitis spp., Polygonum spp., Sida spp., Sinapis spp., Solanum spp., Stellaria spp., Veronica spp. and Viola spp., Xanthium spp., among the annuals, and Convolvulus, Cirsium, Rumex and Artemisia in the case of the perennial weeds.
The formulations of the invention are used preferably in rice, corn, wheat, barley, oats, rye, millet, and oilseed rape.
The herbicidal compositions also have excellent control over weeds that occur under the specific growing conditions that occur in rice, for example Echinochloa, Sagittaria, Alisma, Eleocharis, Scirpus and Cyperus. If the herbicidal compositions are applied to the soil surface before germination, either the weed seedlings are prevented completely from emerging or the weeds grow until they have reached the cotyledon stage, but then stop growing, and eventually, after three to four weeks have elapsed, die completely.
Said properties and advantages are beneficial in practical weed control in order to keep agricultural crops clear of unwanted competing plants and hence to ensure and/or increase the yields in terms of quality and quantity. The technical standard is markedly improved upon by these novel herbicidal compositions in terms of the properties described.
Even though the herbicidal compositions have excellent herbicidal activity against monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds, there is only insignificant damage, if any, to crop plants of economically important crops, for example dicotyledonous crops such as soya, cotton, oilseed rape, sugar beet, or gramineous crops such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet/sorghum, rice or corn. For these reasons, the present herbicidal compositions are of very good suitability for selective control of unwanted plant growth in agriculturally useful plants or in ornamental plants.
Furthermore, the corresponding herbicidal compositions, according to the crop plant, have excellent growth-regulating properties. They intervene in the plants' own metabolism with regulatory effect, and can thus be used for the controlled influencing of plant constituents and to facilitate harvesting, for example by triggering desiccation and stunted growth. Furthermore, they are potentially also suitable for the general control and inhibition of unwanted vegetative growth without killing the plants in the process. Inhibition of vegetative growth plays a major role for many mono- and dicotyledonous crops since this can reduce or completely prevent lodging.
By virtue of their herbicidal and plant growth regulatory properties, the herbicidal compositions—as already mentioned—can also be used to control weeds in crops of genetically modified plants which are known or yet to be developed. In general, the transgenic plants are characterized by particular advantageous properties, for example by resistances to certain pesticides, in particular certain herbicides, resistances to plant diseases or pathogens of plant diseases, such as certain insects or microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria or viruses. Other particular properties relate, for example, to the harvested material with regard to quantity, quality, storability, composition and specific constituents. For instance, there are known transgenic plants with an elevated starch content or altered starch quality, or those with a different fatty acid composition in the harvested material.
Preference is given to the use of the herbicidal compositions in economically important transgenic crops of useful plants and ornamentals, for example of gramineous crops such as wheat, barley, rye, oats, millet/sorghum, rice and corn, or else crops of sugar beet, cotton, soya, oilseed rape, potatoes, tomatoes, peas and other vegetables. The herbicidal compositions can preferably be used in crops of useful plants which are resistant, or have been made resistant by recombinant means, to the phytotoxic effects of the herbicides.
When the herbicidal compositions are employed in transgenic crops, not only do the effects toward harmful plants to be observed in other crops occur, but frequently also effects which are specific to application in the particular transgenic crop, for example an altered or specifically widened spectrum of weeds which can be controlled, altered application rates which can be used for the application, preferably good combinability with the further herbicidally active compounds to which the transgenic crop is resistant, and influencing of growth and yield of the transgenic crop plants.
The present invention thus also provides a method for controlling unwanted plant growth, preferably in crop plants such as cereals (e.g. wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice, corn, millet/sorghum), sugar beet, sugar cane, oilseed rape, cotton and soya, more preferably in monocotyledonous crops such as cereals, for example wheat, barley, rye, oats, crossbreeds thereof, such as triticale, rice, corn and millet/sorghum, which is characterized in that the herbicidal compositions according to the invention are applied to the weeds, plant parts, plant seeds or the area in which the plants grow, for example the area under cultivation. The crop plants may also have been genetically modified or obtained by mutation selection and are preferably tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors.
With the formulations of the invention, a better biological efficacy can be achieved at the same application rate. Advantageously and surprisingly, the formulations of the invention exhibit excellent plant compatibility, such as a reduced tendency to cause phytotoxic damage.
In addition, the formulations of the invention in the form of specific active ingredient combination formulations (synonymously: mixture formulations, co-formulations) have further advantages, for example lower expenditure on packaging than in the case of use of the individual active ingredients, as a result of which the cost and inconvenience associated with production, transport and storage is reduced and the preparation of the spray liquors used in agriculture, through the smaller amounts and the effective ratios that have already been set, is better manageable, for example in the measuring and stirring operation.
The formulations of the invention surprisingly additionally exhibit excellent dispersing and stabilizing properties after further dilution with liquids, preferably water.
In addition, the formulations give rise to formulations which have prolonged storage stability and impeccable performance.
The formulations of the invention, moreover, exhibit particularly good herbicidal properties in dry soils, especially when DCPMI and flufenacet are used.
The particle size is determined according to CIPAC (CIPAC=Collaborative International Pesticides Analytical Council; www.cipac.org) Method MT 187 as d50 or D90 (active ingredient particle size, laser scattering, of 50% or 90% of all volume particles). The median particle size refers to the d50 value.
The invention is illustrated in more detail by the examples below, without being limited thereby.
The terms used in the examples below have the following meanings:
The log P describes the partition particularly of active pesticidal ingredients between water and n-octanol. Banerjee et al., 1980, S. Banerjee, S. H. Yalkowsky, S. C. Valvani, Water solubility and octanol/water partition coefficients of organics. Limitations of the solubility-partition coefficient correlation, Environ. Sci. Technol., 14 (1980), pp. 1227-1229.
The ZC formulations of the invention were produced by producing the SC formulations that follow as mixing partners. These are blended with the formulations of the invention to give further formulations of the invention.
For production of the examples cited in Table 1, water is initially charged at room temperature. The further components are then added (in no particular order) with stirring. This is followed by wet grinding, for example by means of a bead mill. Finally, the organic thickener is added.
The ready-to-use formulations were produced by mixing SC-1 and also SC-2 through addition of the corresponding adjuvant quantities. % by weight were used in each case. For comparison, the respective formulations were taken as 100%. The completed formulations underwent greenhouse testing.
In the standard implementation of the test, seeds of various broad-leaved weed and weed grass biotypes (origins) were sown in an 8-13 cm diameter pot filled with natural soil of a standard field soil (loamy silt; non-sterile) and covered with a covering soil layer of about 1 cm. The pots were then cultivated in a greenhouse (light for 12-16 h, temperature 20-22° C. by day, 15-18° C. by night) until the time of application. The pots were treated on a laboratory track sprayer with spray liquors comprising the mixtures/compositions of the invention, mixtures of the prior art or the components applied individually. Application of the active ingredients or active ingredient combinations formulated as WG, WP, EC or otherwise was effected at the appropriate growth stages of the plants. The amount of water used for spray application was 100-600 l/ha. After the treatment, the plants were returned to the greenhouses.
About 3 weeks after the application, the soil action or/and foliar action was assessed visually according to a scale of 0-100% in comparison to an untreated comparative group: 0%=no noticeable effect compared to the untreated comparative group; 100%=full effect compared to the untreated comparative group.
(Notes: the term “seeds” also includes vegetative propagation forms such as, for example, rhizome pieces; abbreviations used: h light=hours of illumination, g of AS/ha=grams of active substance per hectare, 1/ha=liters per hectare, S=sensitive, R=resistant)
The studies were made for different levels of soil dryness.
Humid conditions: The test pots were watered daily with 11 of water per m2.
Dry conditions: The test pots were watered daily with 0.25 l of water per m2.
Normal conditions: The test pots were watered daily with 0.5 l of water per m2.
Results from the Greenhouse:
Each of the formulations of the invention, with comparative examples 1-3, were tested for their activity against typical broadleaf and gramineous weeds. The application window was early pre-emergence (BBCH 11). The greenhouse application rate is 100 g/ha DCPMI, which correlates to a typical field application rate of 200 g/ha DCPMI (the transfer factor from greenhouse to field is therefore 2). The pots were tested respectively under humid, normal and dry conditions. Testing with flufenacet took place at 125 g/ha. In each case, the formulation was mixed with the adjuvant and then applied. The dilution selected was typically 100 L/ha of water.
Application rate used in g/ha
Activity against granmineous weeds under humid, normal and dry conditions. Studies were conducted on each of the following important gramineous weeds in winter cereals:
AVEFA=Avena fatua=wild oat
ALOMY=Alopecurus myosuroides=blackgrass
APESY=Apera spica-venti=loose silky bent
LOLMU=Lolium mulitflorum=Italian ryegrass
The two selected active ingredients exhibit significant improvements particularly for AVEFA and LOLMU with the adjuvants. For greater ease of comparison, the absolute improvement in percentage points has been shown in the table below. The numbers are transposed from the upper table and, under the respective conditions, show the percentage reduction/control of the gramineous weeds AVEFA and LOLMU.
The formulations of the invention with the active herbicidal ingredients display a significantly higher activity with the two adjuvants 1 and 2. Under dry conditions especially, the adjuvants display a significant improvement in activity. For flufenacet it was found that especially adjuvant 1 at between 250 and 1000 g/ha gave a consistent significant improvement in the activity. The activity of adjuvant 2 was better under dry conditions, poorer under humid conditions.
DCPMI with both adjuvants from as low as 250 g/ha displayed a significant improvement.
The blends of SC-1 and -2 with adjuvant 3, conversely, displayed no improvement in activity.
