Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of producing herbi ⁇ cidal granular products which contain carbamoyloxyphenyl- carbamates and/or substituted benzofuranes, known per se, as active ingredients, surfactants, suspending agents, inert car riers, and possibly other auxiliary agents, such as stabi ⁇ lizers, defoamers, coloring agents, and preservatives.

  • active ingredients such as active ingredients, surfactants, suspending agents, inert car riers, and possibly other auxiliary agents, such as stabi ⁇ lizers, defoamers, coloring agents, and preservatives.
  • the sa active ingredients are insoluble in water and in the main foliage-acting, and they are thus sprayed, as water dilutions, onto the plant stand. For this reason the granules are made water dispersible so that a homo
  • Carbamoyloxyphenylcarbamate and benzofurane herbicides have conventionally been formulated as emulsion concentrates in which the active ingredient is dissolved in organic solvents and can, with the help of solution emulsifiers, be caused to mix with water to form an emulsion.
  • These formulations have, however, the drawbacks of toxicity of the products, due to the organic solvents, inflammability of the products, as well as difficulty of obtaining a stable uncrystallizing emulsion of the product together with water. Crystallization is typical specifically of methyl-3-tol ⁇ lcarbamoyloxyphenylcarbamate.
  • Air-jet and suspension mills are used for the grinding to produce a maximally finely divided active ingredient, preferably in the order of magnitude of 1 - 5 microns, in order to achieve biologic efficacy and as stable a suspension as possible when the granule is dispersed into water.
  • the active ingredient may be present in a water dilutable formulation either as a liquid suspension concentrat or as a granular product dispersible in water.
  • the disadvan ⁇ tages of a liquid product form often include storage difficul ⁇ ties, handling problems due to high viscosity, and the residue remaining in incompletely emptying containers.
  • the last- mentioned disadvantage is becoming a significant environmental problem when the used containers are being disposed of.
  • solid granules dispersible in a li ⁇ quid are avoided with solid granules dispersible in a li ⁇ quid.
  • a granular product can be packaged in mate ⁇ rials, such as carton, which load the environment less, and thus the empty packages are easier to dispose of.
  • the basic properties of water-dispersible granules include, in addition to the chemical stability of the active ingredients, also a good ability to be dispersed into water, sufficient granule strength so that detrimental dust is not detached in connection with storage or handling, free flow of the granules, and an ability to remain uncaked during storage.
  • the granule may contain, in addition to a water-insoluble carrier, also dispersing, suspending, wetting, preserving, defoaming, and anti-caking agents.
  • carbamoyloxyphenylcarbamates the most notab of which are methyl-3-m-tolylcarbamoyloxyphenylcarbamate, gen ⁇ erally named phenmedipham, and ethyl-3-phenylcarbamoyloxy- phenylcarbamate, generally named desmedipham (BP 679,283),
