Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of controlling the damage caused by phytophagus insects to crops by the
- formulations which have evaporation retardant properties such formulations contain an oil phase, a retardant and an active ingredient, for example a pesticide.
- Mite resurgance is a phenomenon encountered when broad
- spectrum insecticides such as the pyrethroids, are used to control insects on crops. Treatment with the pyrethroids controls the major pest on the crops, for example
- mite resurgance One reason for mite resurgance is that the pyrethroids stimulate the mites to increase their
- the present invention provides a method of controlling insects on plants which comprises the application to the plant of an effective amount of an aqueous formulation that contains a pyrethroid insecticide as active ingredient, an evaporation retardant and an emulsifier that satisfies formula: mass of oil phase
- Moil is tt ⁇ e weighted average relative molar mass of the o phase
- Y is the molar solubility ratio of the formulation, defined as the minimum number of moles of oil phase which will dissolve the retardant, divided by the number of moles of retardant, provided that, in the Formula above, any solvent which has no liquid phase at 27oC at atmospheric pressure is excluded.
- the "oil phase” is the liquid non aqueous phase and will comprise one or more of the active ingredient, the solvent therefore and in some cases the emulsifier.
- L is less than 12, 10, or 8 and is most preferably less than 5.
- a distilled water spray has an "L” value of about 26, and most conventional diluted formulations have value of about 22-30.
- "L” can be set at a desired value in order to calculate the required ratios of the ingredients.
- M oil ' the average molecular weight of the oil phase, is the weighted average, i.e. taking into account the relative proportions of the ingredients.
- Y namely the molar solubility ratio of the formulation
- Y may be derived empirically by making up at 40oC a series of mixtures with different ratios of oil phase to alkanol, allowing the mixtures to cool to 27oC, leaving the cool mixtures for at least 48 hours at 27°C, and determining the amount, in moles, of the oil phase which is needed to dissolve completely a given amount of retardant, in moles. The former is then divided by the latter to give Y.
- pyrethroid insecticides include those of the formula (I)
- R 1 is halo, CF 3 or CHF 2 O
- R 2 is hydrogen or halo
- X is hydrogen or halo, and X is H, CN or C ⁇ CH,
- allethrins for example (1RS)-3-allyl-2-methyl-4- oxocylopent-2-enyl-(1R,3R)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylprop-1- enyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylate (bioallethrin),
- Octadecan-1-ol and, particularly, hexadecan-1-ol are preferred evaporation retardants.
- Hexadecan-1-ol also known as cetyl alcohol
- cetyl alcohol is usually available commercially as a mixture with a minor proportion of octadecan-1-ol (stearyl alcohol) and such "cetostearyl alcohol" is quite satisfactory.
- Heptadecan-1-ol performs adequately but is much more
- evaporation retardants include 1-hexadecylamine, 1-heptadecylamine and 1- octadecylamine. Less preferred evaporation retardants include hexadecan-2-ol, 1,2-hexadecandiol, methyl stearate, stearyl acetate, methyl palmitate and 1,2-octadecandiol.
- N-alkoxyalkanols may be used, for example CH 3 (CH 2 ) 21 OC 2 H 4 OH,
- the amount of emulsifier present in the formulation will be less than twice the amount of the evaporation retardent present and will preferably be less than the amount of the evaporation retardant present.
- the emulsifier may be any suitable compound or mixture of.
- Cationic emulsifiers can be used, but they tend to irritate the user's eyes.
- Anionic emulsifiers such as calcium dodecyl benzenesulphate (CDBS) or sodium d-isopropyl naphthalenesulphonate (SDNS) can also be used, but these are not as effective at stabilising the emulsion whilst
- the emulsifier is a non-ionic compound, or mixture of non-ionic compounds, having an HLB (hydrophilic/lipophilic balance) 6-20 and preferably 8-18.
- Suitable compounds include polyoxyethylene stearyl ethers (PSE), polyoxyethylene monolaurates (PEM), polyoxyethylene mono-oleates (PMO), sorbitan mono-oleate (SMO), nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and blends of oleyl ethoxylate (1 mole), and PEG20 glyceryl oleate (OE/PGO).
- PSE polyoxyethylene stearyl ethers
- PEM polyoxyethylene monolaurates
- PMO polyoxyethylene mono-oleates
- SMO sorbitan mono-oleate
- NPE nonylphenol ethoxylate
- PEG polyethylene glycol
- OE/PGO PEG20 glyceryl oleate
- the solvent at least for an oil-soluble active ingredient, preferably has a low relative molecular mass, namely less than about 200.
- Suitable compounds include aromatic hydrocarbons, lower alky esters, lower ketones, lower alkanols and lower alkanes, the term "lower” meaning C1-12, preferably C1-10 and more preferably C1-8.
- Particular solvents include the following, all available from Exxon Chemicals Limited;
- Solvesso 150 An aromatic hydrocarbon solvent (C9 to C11) with a distillation range 190 to 210oC.
- Solvesso 200 An aromatic hydrocarbon solvent (C10 to C12) with a distillation range 226 to 290°C.
- Odourless kerosene - A mixture of high boiling non-aromatic hydrocarbons consisting of paraffins and naphthenes with a distillation range of 180 to 270°C.
- the formulation may comprise more than one pyrethroid
- emulsifier and/or more than one stabiliser together with other ingredients such as perfumes and dyes.
- the present invention also provides a method for preventing the resurgance of mite infestation in plants when treated with pyrethroid insecticides which comprises the application to the plant of an aqueous formulation that contains the
- pyrethroid insecticide as active ingredient, an evaporation retardant and an emulsifier that satisfies the Formula described hereinbefore.
- Emulsifier Blend consists of 0.75% Emulgator BTO2, 0.1% BRIJ 78, 0.1% BRIJ 72 and 0.05% TWEEN20.
- Emulgator BT02 is equivalent to Tegoplant EMU described in European Patent 331474.
- Diameter droplets of AmbushTM (which is a formulation marketed by ICI Americas Inc) and formulation 1 were applied to 2cm diameter leaf discs cut from "Henderson” lima beans. Both formulations were mixed in water at a rate of 12.5g a.i per liter.
- Droplets were applied at densities of 25, 50, 75, 100, 150 and 200 per leaf disc. Five replicate leaf discs were used per droplet density. Five replicate control leaf discs were left untreated.
- Leaf discs were left to dry for one hour. Five adult female two-spotted spider mites (TSSM) were then placed on each leaft disc using a fine camel-hair brush. The mites were obtained from cultures reared on greenhouse lima beans at the OARDC. The leaf discs were placed on moistened cotton in 3cm
