Description

INDUSTRIAL FIELD OF UTILIZATION
The present invention relates to a novel pyridine derivative and its salt, a method for preparing the same, a herbicidal composition containing the same as an effective ingredient, and a method for killing weeds.
PRIOR ART
Heretofore, as a pyridine carboxylic acid derivative having a herbicidal activity, there were known 3-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)oxypicolinic acid derivative (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 84/1989), pyrimidyloxypicolinic acid derivative and pyrimidyloxyisonicotinic acid derivative (japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 121973/1990 and 149567/1990).
However, these references do not describe a nicotinic acid derivative having a heterocyclic ring-containing substituent at the 2-position as in the contpound of the present invention.
Heretofore, many herbicides have been developed, and have contributed to the saving of energy for the agricultural operations and to the improvement of the production efficiency. However, in their practical use, such herbicides have various problems. For example, a herbicide achieving a herbicidal effect specially at a low dose is desired in view of environmental problems. Particularly, a desirable herbicide should have a herbicidal effect for killing perennial weeds such as johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) and purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus) which are widely distributed on agricultural lands throughout the world and are hardly killed. Furthermore, a herbicide having a satisfactory selectivity and safety to crop plants is particularly desired in respect of agricultural management.
Up to now, the known compounds as described in the above references do not always have satisfactory herbicidal effects.
The present inventors have conducted extensive research on nicotinic acid derivatives with an aim to develop a compound having a satisfactory herbicidal activity, and as a result, have found that the pyridine derivative of the present invention which is a nicotinic acid derivative having a heterocyclic ring-containing substituent at the 2-position, has an excellent herbicidal activity for killing annual and perennial weeds including gramineous weeds, cyperaceous weeds and broadleaf weeds by water treatment of rice fields and soil treatment or foliage treatment of upland fields, and also has a satisfactory safety to crop plants including rice, wheat and the like. The present invention has been accompanished on the basis of this discovery.

The herbicidal composition of the present invention comprises at least one of the pyridine derivative of the general formula (I) and its salt as an effective ingredient.
The compound of the present invention can be used as it is as a herbicide, but it may be used in such an appropriate formulation as a dust, a wettable powder, an emulsifiable concentrate, a micro-particle agent or a granule agent by blending with a carrier, a surfactant, a dispersing agent or an adjuvant which may be generally used in the formulation of agricultural chemicals.
As a carrier to be used for these formulations, there may be enumerated a solid carrier such as Jeeklite, talc, bentonite, clay, kaolin, diatomaceous earth, white carbon, vemiculite, calcium carbonate, slaked lime, silica sand, ammonium sulfate or urea, or a liquid carrier such as isopropanol, xylene, cyclohexanone or methyl naphthalene.
As a surfactant and a dispersing agent, there may be enumerated, for example, a metal salt of an alkylbenzenesulfonic acid, a metal salt of a dinaphthylmethanedisulfonic acid, an alcohol-sulfuric acid ester, an alkylaryl sulfonate, a lignin sulfonate, a polyoxyethylene glycol ether, a polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ether or a polyoxyethylene sorbitol monoalkylate. As an adjuvant, for example, carboxymethyl cellulose, polyethylene glycol or gum arabic may be enumerated.
The dust is prepared by blending the active ingredient with a powdery solid carrier. The wettable powder can be prepared by blending the active ingredient with a powdery solid carrier, a surfactant and a dispersing agent. The emulsifiable concentrate can be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with a liquid carrier, a surfactant and a dispersing agent. The granule agent can be prepared by coating a granular solid carrier with the active ingredient, together with an adjuvant, or by adding water to a solid carrier, the active ingredient and an adjuvant and extruding the mixture through apertures. The proportion of the active ingredient is optionally selected depending on its use, and it is usually from 0.01 to 20% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 10% by weight, in the cases of dust and granule formulations, and from 0.1 to 80% by weight, preferably from 1 to 50% by weight, in the cases of emulsifiable concentrate and wettable powder formulations.
In practical use, the herbicide of the present invention may be diluted to a suitable concentration before applying or may be directly applied. The amount of the herbicide of the present invention may be optionally varied depending on the type of the compound used, the type of weed to be controlled, growing tendency, environmental conditions and the type of formulation used. When the herbicide of the present invention is directly applied as in the case of powder and granule formulation, it is used at a dose of from 0.1 g to 5 kg, preferably from 1 g to 1 kg of the active ingredient per 10 ares. In the case of liquid application such as emulsifiable concentrate and wettable powder formulations, the active ingredient may optionally be diluted to a concentration of from 0.1 to 10,000 ppm, preferably from 10 to 5,000 ppm for application.
The herbicide of the present invention may be applied to foliage, soil or water surface.
If desired, the compound of the present invention may be used in combination with insecticides, sterilizers, other herbicides, plant growth controlling agents, fertilizers or the like.
Now, typical Formulation Examples for the herbicidal composition of the present invention will be given. The types of compounds and additives and the blending ratios should not be limited thereto, and may optionally be varied in a wide range. In these Examples, "part" means "part by weight".
FORMULATION EXAMPLE 1 (wettable powder)
10 Parts of Compound No. 4, 0.5 part of polyoxyethyleneoctylphenyl ether, 0.5 part of sodium .beta.-naphthalenesulfonate-formalin condensate, 20 parts of diatomaceous earth and 69 parts of clay were mixed and pulverized to obtain a wettable powder.
FORMULATION EXAMPLE 2 (wettable powder)
10 Parts of Compound No. 7, 0.5 part of polyoxyethyleneoctylphenyl ether, 0.5 part of sodium .beta.-naphthalenesulfonate-formalin condensate, 20 parts of diatomaceous earth, 5 parts of white carbon and 64 parts of clay were mixed and pulverized to obtain a wettable powder.
FORMULATION EXAMPLE 3 (wettable powder containing calcium carbonate)
10 Parts of Compound No. 23, 0.5 part of polyoxyethyleneoctylphenyl ether, 0.5 part of sodium naphthalenesulfonate-formalin condensate, 20 parts of diatomaceous earth, 5 parts of white carbon and 64 parts of calcium carbonate were mixed and pulverized to obtain a wettable powder.
FORMULATION EXAMPLE 4 (emulsifiable concentrate)
30 Parts of Compound No. 25, 60 parts of equivalent amount mixture of xylene and isophorone, and 10 parts of a surfactant mixture of polyoxyethylene sorbitol alkylate, polyoxyethylenealkylaryl polymer and alkylaryl sulfonate were fully stirred to obtain an emulsifiable concentrate.
FORMULATION EXAMPLE 5 (granule)
10 Parts of Compound No. 49, 80 parts of a bulking agent comprising a 1:3 mixture of talc and bentonite, 5 parts of white carbon, 5 parts of a surfactant mixture of polyoxyethylenesorbitol alkylate, polyoxyethylenealkylaryl polymer and alkylarylsulfonate and 10 parts of water were fully kneaded to obtain a paste-like material. The paste-like material was then extruded through a sieve aperture of 0.7 mm in diameter, and the extruded product was dried and cut into pieces of 0.5 to 1 mm in length to obtain granules.
The compound having the general formula (I) and its salt of the present invention are effective at a very small dosage for killing various troublesome weeds grown in upland fields in a wide range from germinating stage to growing stage, examples of the weeds including broadleaf weeds such as pale smartweed (Polygonum lapathifolium), slender amaranth (Amaranthus viridis), common lambsquarters (Chenopodium album), chickweed (Stellaria media), velveltleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), prickly sida (Sida spinosa), morningglory (Pomoea sp.) and common cocklebur (Xanthum strumarium); perennial and annual cyperaceous weeds such as purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), yellow nutsedge, Kyllinga brevifolia, umbrella plant (Cyperus microiria) and rice flatsedge (Cyperus iris); and gramineous weeds such as barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), foxtail (Setaria sp.), annual bluegrass (Poa annua), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), Alopecurus aequalis and wild oats. Also, the compound of the present invention achieves excellent herbicidal effects on annual weeds such as barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), small flower flatsedge (Cyperus difformis) and monochoria (Monochoria vaginalis), and perennial weeds such as Sagittaria pygmaea, Cyperus serotinus, Eleocharis kuroguwai, bulrush (Scirpus hotarui) and Alisma canaliculatum, grown in paddy fields. Depending on the type, the compound of the present invention does not have phytotoxicity to rice, wheat, cotton and corn, and is therefore suitable as a herbicide for cultivating these crops.
Now, the herbicidal effects of the compounds of the present invention will be described with reference to the following Test Examples.
