Description

The present invention relates to the use of quinoline derivatives for protecting cultivated plants from the harmful effects of herbicidal derivatives of (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid, (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinic acid and (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)quinolinecarboxylic acid.
When applying herbicides such as the imidazole derivatives referred to above, appreciable damage may be caused to the cultivated plants depending on such factors as, for example, the concentration of herbicide, the mode of application, the species of cultivated plant, the nature of the soil, and climatic conditions such as the duration of exposure to light, temperature and rainfall. In particular, severe injury may result when, in the course of crop rotation, other cultivated plants that have no or only insufficient resistance to the herbicides are grown after the cultivated plants that are resistant to the herbicides.
It is known from published European patent specifications Nos. 86 750 and 94 349 that quinoline derivatives can be used for protecting cultivated plants from the harmful effects of aggressive agrochemicals.
Surprisingly, it has not been found that protection of cultivated plants from injury caused by herbicidal derivatives of (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid, (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinic acid and (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2yl)quinoline carboxylic acid can be afforded by dressing the seeds of said plants with a safener selected from the group of quinoline derivatives. The cited herbicides, which remain active in the soil for some considerable time, are preferably used in soybean crops, as soybean plants are sufficiently resistant to these herbicides. However, considerable injury is often caused to subsequent crops. This applies in particular to crops of cereals. By dressing the seeds of non-resistant cultivated plants it is possible to alternate soybean crops with crops of other cultivated plants without damage being caused by the herbicides to these subsequent crops. No loss of herbicidal activity against weeds and grasses results.
Furthermore, the use of quinoline derivatives also makes possible the direct application of the herbicidal derivatives of (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid, (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinic acid and (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)quinolinecarboxylic acid in crops of cultivated plants that have no or only insufficient resistance to these herbicides.

The compounds of formula I can be prepared by methods which are known per se, for example those described in European patent publications Nos. 86 750 and 94 349, or by methods similar to known ones.
The quinoline derivatives of formula I are most suited to protecting cultivated plants from the harmful effects of herbicidal derivatives of (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoic acid, (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)nicotinic acid and (4,5-dihydro-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl)quinolinecarboxylic acid. These derivatives correspond to the formula II ##STR260## wherein R' is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, the ammonium cation or an organic ammonium cation, R.sub.1 ' is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.2 ' is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl, or R.sub.1 ' and R.sub.2 ' together are C.sub.4 alkylene or C.sub.5 alkylene, M is the structural unit .dbd.CH-- or .dbd.N--, X and Y are each independently of the other hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or halogen or, if M is .dbd.N--, are additionally the structural unit --C(X.sub.1).dbd.C(X.sub.2)--C(X.sub.3).dbd.C(X.sub.4)--, wherein X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 are hydrogen or one or two of X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 are C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and the others are hydrogen.
In the compounds of formula II, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl will be understood to mean methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, tert-butyl and isobutyl.
By organic ammonium cation is meant an ammonium cation in which one to four hydrogen atoms are replaced by an organic radical. Suitable organic radicals are preferably aliphatic radicals, most preferably those containing 1 to 20 carbon atoms. Examples of such organic ammonium cations are: monoalkylammonium, dialkylammonium, trialkylammonium, tetraalkylammonium, monoalkenylammonium, dialkenylammonium, trialkenylammonium, monoalkinylammonium, dialkinylammonium, trialkinylammonium, monoalkanolammonium, dialkanolammonium, trialkanolammonium, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -cycloalkylammonium, piperidinium, morpholinium, pyrrolidinium, benzylammonium and equivalents thereof.
In the compounds of formula II, halogen denotes fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, preferably chlorine and bromine.
Herbicidally active compounds of formula II are described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,188,487 and in European patent application No. 41.623.
Especially noteworthy is the protective action of quinoline derivatives of formula I against those herbicides of formula II in which R' is hydrogen, methyl, the ammonium cation or an organic ammonium cation, R.sub.1 ' is methyl and R.sub.2 ' is isopropyl, and M, X and Y are as defined for formula II; and, in particular, against those herbicides of formula II, wherein R' is methyl, R.sub.1 ' is methyl, R.sub.2 ' is isopropyl, X is hydrogen and Y is 4- or 5-methyl, and M is the structural unit .dbd.CH--; as well as against 2-[4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-(1-methylethyl)-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]nicotinic acid and, most particularly, 2-[4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-(1-methylethyl)-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-3-quinolinecarboxylic acid, and 2-[4,5-dihydro-5-methyl-(1-methylethyl-4-oxo-1H-imidazol-2-yl]-5-ethyl nicotinic acid.
Cultivated plants which can be protected by quinoline derivatives of formula I from injury caused by herbicides of formula II are, in particular, those plants that are important in the food and textile sectors, for example, cotton, sugar beet, sugar cane and, in particular, sorghum, maize, rice and other cereals (wheat, rye, barley and oats).
A suitable method of protecting cultivated plants using compounds of formula I comprises treating said plants, parts thereof or areas of soil intended for the cultivation of said plants, before or after planting, with a compound of formula I or with a composition that contains such a compound. The treatment can be effected before, simultaneously with or after the application of the herbicide of formula II. Suitable parts of plants are in particular those that are capable of plant propagation, for example seeds, fruit, stems and cuttings as well as roots, tubers and rhizomes.
The invention also relates to a method of selectively controlling weeds in crops of cultivated plants, which comprises treating said crops, parts of cultivated plants or crop areas with a herbicide of formula II and a compound of formula I or with a composition that contains a combination of such a combination of such a herbicide and a compound of formula I.
The weeds to be controlled can be both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds.
Suitable cultivated plants or parts thereof are, for example, those mentioned above. Crop areas will be understood as meaning the areas of soil already planted with the cultivated plants or with crop seeds of said plants, and the areas of soil intended for the cultivation of said plants.
The ratio of the concentration of safener to be applied to that of herbicide will depend substantially on the mode of application. For a field treatment, which is made either using a tank mixture with a combination of safener and herbicide or by separate application of safener and herbicide, the ratio of safener to herbicide will normally be in the range from 1:100 to 10:1, preferably from 1:5 to 8:1 and, most preferably, from 1:1. However, for seed dressing, substantially lower amounts of safener are required in proportion to the concentration of herbicide per hectare of crop area.
For a field treatment, 0.1 to 10 kg, preferably 0.,5 to 2 kg, of safener per hectare will usually be applied.
For seed dressing, 0.01 to 10 g, preferably 0.05 to 1 g, of safener per hectare will normally be applied. If the safener is applied in liquid form shortly before sowing by seed soaking, then it is convenient to use safener solutions that contain the active ingredient in a concentration of 1 to 10,000 ppm, preferably from 100 to 1000 ppm.
For application, the compounds of formula, or combinations of compounds of formula I with the herbicides to be antagonised, are conveniently used in unmodified form or, preferably, together with the adjuvants conventionally employed in the art of formulation, and are therefore formulated in known manner to emulsifiable concentrates, coatable pastes, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granulates, and also encapsulations in e.g. polymer substances. As with the nature of the compositions, the methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, scattering or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances.
The formulations, i.e. the compositions or preparations containing the compound (active ingredient) of the formula I or a combination of compound of formula I with the herbicide it is desired to antagonise and, where appropriate, a solid or liquid adjuvant, are prepared in known manner, e.g. by homogeneously mixing and/or grinding the active ingredients with extenders, e.g. solvents, solid carriers and, where appropriate, surface-active compounds (surfactants).
Suitable solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms, e.g. xylene mixtures or substituted naphthalenes, phthalates such as dibutyl phthalate or dioctyl phthalate, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, alcohols and glycols and their ethers and esters, such as ethanol, ethylene glycol monomethyl or monomethyl ether, ketones such as cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide, as well as vegetable oils or epoxidised vegetable oils such as epoxidised coconut oil or soybean oil; or water.
The solid carriers used e.g. for dusts and dispersible powders, are normally natural mineral fillers such as calcite, talcum, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. In order to improve the physical properties it is also possible to add highly dispersed silicic acid or highly dispersed absorbent polymers. Suitable granulated adsorptive carriers are porous types, for example pumice, broken brick, sepiolite or bentonite; and suitable nonsorbent carriers are materials such as calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of pregranulated materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used, e.g. especially dolomite or pulverised plant residues.
Depending on the nature of the compound of the formula I to be formulated, and, where appropriate, also of the herbicide which it is desired to antagonise, suitable surface-active compounds are nonionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term "surfactants" will also be understood as comprising mixtures of surfactants.
Suitable anionic surfactants can be both water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds.
Suitable soaps are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C.sub.10 -C.sub.22), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures which can be obtained e.g. from coconut oil or tallow oil. Mention may also be made of fatty acid methyltaurin salts.
More frequently, however, so-called synthetic surfactants are used, especially fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates.
The fatty sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts and contain a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl radical which also includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecylsulfate or of a mixture of fatty alcohol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acids. These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfuric acid esters and sulfonic acids of fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Also suitable are corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of the phosphoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonylphenol with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide.
Non-ionic surfactants are preferably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, or saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, said derivatives containing 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols.
Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are the water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediamine propylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit.
Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylenepolyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxyethoxyethanol. Fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan and polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.
Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts which contain, as N-substituent, at least one C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl radical and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates, e.g. stearyltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.
The surfactants customarily employed in the art of formulation are described e.g. in "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp. Ringwood, N.J., 1979; Helmut Stache, "Tensid-Taschenbuch", Carl Hanser Verlag, Munich/Vienna, 1981.
The agrochemical compositions usually contain 0.1 to 99% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 95% by weight, of a compound of the formula I, or of a mixture of safener and herbicide, 1 to 99% by weight of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and 0 to 25% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 25% by weight, of a surfactant.
Whereas commercial products are preferably formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations.
The compositions may also contain further ingredients such as stabilisers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders, tactifiers as well as fertilisers or other active ingredients in order to obtain special effects.
Various methods are suitable for using compounds of formula I, or compositions containing them, for protecting cultivated plants from injury caused by herbicides of formula II, for example:
(i) Seed dressing
Dressing the seeds with a wettable powder formulation of a compound of formula I by shaking in a vessel until a uniform coating is obtained on the surface of the seeds (dry dressing). About 1 to 500 g of compound of formula I (4 g to 2 kg of wettable powder) are used per 100 kg of seeds.
(b) Dressing the seeds by immersing them in a emusifiable concentrate of a compound of formula I in accordance with the procedure of method (a) (wet dressing).
(c) Dressing the seeds by immersing them for 1 to 72 hours in a mixture containing 50-3200 ppm of compound of formula I and, if desired, subsequently drying the seeds (immersion dressing).
It will be appreciated that dressing the seeds or treating the germinated seedlings are the preferred methods of application, because the treatment is directed entirely to the target crop. Normally 1 to 500 g, preferably 5 to 250 g, of safener are used per 100 g of seeds, although deviations above and below these concentrations (repeat dressings), are possible depending on the method employed, which also permits the addition of other active compounds or micronutrients.
(ii) Application from a tank mixture
A liquid formulation of a mixture of safener and herbicide (reciprocal ratio from 10:1 to 1:10) is used, with the concentration of herbicide being from 0.1 to 10 kg per hectare. Such a tank mixture is applied preferably before or immediately after sowing and is incorporated to a depth of 5 to 10 cm int the as yet unsown soil.
(iii) Application to the seed furrow
The safener is applied to the open sown seed furrow as emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder or in granular form, and then the herbicide is applied preemergence in the normal manner after covering the furrow.
(iv) Controlled release of active ingredient
A solution of a compound of formula I is applied to mineral granulate carriers or polymerised granulates (urea/formaldehyde) and allowed to dry. If desired, a coating may be applied (coated granules), which permits controlled release of the active ingredient over a specific period of time.
