Description
HERBICIDAL COMPOSITION AND METHOD
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/544,409 filed August 11, 2017, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[002] The field of art to which this invention generally pertains is herbicidal compositions.
BACKGROUND
[003] Because of the increasing concem over use of organic solvents in agricultural formulations due to their cost, flammability, adverse health effects and contribution to environmental pollution, aqueous formulations hâve seen increasing use. The oil-in-water émulsion (EW) is one of the most common aqueous formulations used for many agricultural products, where droplets of oil stabilized by surfactant emulsifiers as a discrète phase are uniformly dispersed in water as a continuons phase. However, Chemical stability challenges can exist with some of these herbicidal formulations, especially with some active Chemicals which are extremely effective individually, but can interact at various températures over time when they are combined together.
[004] Accordingly, there is a constant search for enhancing the stability of effective herbicidal Chemical combinations in this area.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
[0012] The Figure demonstrates exemplary efficacy data for exemplary compositions described herein.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] The particulars shown herein are by way of example and for purposes of illustrative discussion of the various embodiments of the présent invention only and are 5 presented in the cause of providing what is believed to be the most useful and readily understood description of the principles and conceptual aspects of the invention. In this regard, no attempt is made to show details of the invention in more detail than is necessary for a fondamental understanding of the invention, the description making apparent to those skilled in the art how the several forms of the invention may be embodied in practice
[0014] The présent invention will now be described by reference to more detailed embodiments. This invention may, however, be embodied in different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complété, and will folly convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0015] Unless otherwise defined, ail technical and scientific terms used herein hâve the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used in the description of the invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are 20 intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Ail publications, patent applications, patents, and other references mentioned herein are expressly incorporated by reference in their entirety.
[0016] Unless otherwise indicated, ail numbers expressing quantifies of ingrédients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the spécification and claims are to be understood as 25 being modified in ail instances by the term “about.” Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, the numerical parameters set forth in the following spécification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained by the présent invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of équivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding approaches.
[0017] Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the spécifie examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard déviation found in their respective testing measurements. Every numerical range given throughout this spécification will include every narrower numerical range that falls within such broader numerical range, as if such narrower numerical ranges were ail expressly written herein.
[0018] Additional advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be leamed by practice of the invention. It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.
[0019] What is disclosed herein is an effective herbicidal composition again a broad weed spectrum, having improved Chemical stability of ail of active ingrédients including amicarbazone, mesotrione and nicosulfuron. The combination provides a broader weed spectrum control than amicarbazone and mesotrione alone, and in admixture.
[0020] The herbicidal compositions described herein include amicarbazone, and mesotrione, and nicosulfuron, and methods of their use in admixture. It was found to be challenging to develop amicarbazone and mesotrione premix formulation alone due to the predicted side reaction between above two molécules. It was found to be even more challenging to develop amicarbazone and mesotrione and nicosulfuron premix formulation with stable chemistry. However, it has been discovered that by including stabilizing amounts of phosphoric acid, or a combination of phosphoric acid and urea, to the above three active herbicidal ingrédients the desired degree of Chemical stability of the ingrédients is attained in an herbicidal oil dispersion formulation.
[0021] By being able to include ail three active ingrédient with Chemical stability into an herbicidal premix formulation, a signifïcantly increased control spectrum of weed management can be attained. .
EXAMPLES
[0022] Without the inclusion of the above stabilizers, Chemical rétention for nicosulfuron, for example, for two weeks at 54°C is below 80% by weight. With inclusion of the above phosphoric acid and urea stabilizers, the rétention and stability of the nicosulfuron under 5 the same conditions improves to over 93%, while still keeping the other two active herbicide ingrédients (amicarbazone, and mesotrione) in the formulation above 95% rétention, again, under the same testing conditions. In fact, ail three active ingrédients can be retained in the stabilized herbicidal pre-mix formulations at a level above 95% by weight for at least 8 weeks at a température of at least 40°C and even 12 weeks or more at températures of at least 35°C. In addition, the pre-mix formulation, when mixed with water, exhibits an increased spectrum of weed control. It has been found that with an addition of, for example, of 0.5% by weight phosphoric acid and 0.5% to 1% by weight urea, nicosulfuron Chemical rétention increases from approximately 70% to 93% for at least 2 weeks at at least 54°C, while the amicarbazone and mesotrione in the pre-mix formulation is retained and remains above 95% . With the addition of 15 similar amounts of the phosphoric acid and urea stabilizers, ail three active ingrédients including the nicosulfuron, mesotrione and amicarbazone, are chemically retained when stored above at least 95% for at least 8 weeks at a température of at least 40°C and for at least 12 weeks at températures of at least 35°C, respectively. An exemplary composition includes, for example, amicarbazone 112 grams/liter (g/L) mesotrione 112 grams/liter and nicosulfuron 60 grams/liter, respectively.
[0023] Additional benefits and details are demonstrated, for example, in the Tables below, for multiple exemplary compositions demonstrating their stability at various time periods and températures. The composition also demonstrates physical properties stability at low températures as described herein, e.g., phase séparation stability, formulation uniformity, particle 25 size, émulsion stability, etc.

Note: In above four compositions, al contain 5 g/L of phosphoric acid and 7.5g/L of urea for first three, then 12.5 g/L of urea for Example 4, respectively.
[0024] As mentioned above, the novel ready-mix herbicidal compositions described herein are 5 effective on a broader weed spectrum, such as, for example on grasses, broadleaf weeds and sedge, which is not the case with the individual herbicidal components alone. The compositions different mode of action (MoA) or biology pathways helps make this product a very effective weed résistance management tool, especially, for example, for the corn market, among others.
See also the Figure which demonstrates, for example, the efficacy of the compositions disclosed 10 herein above other combinations and above the efficacy limit (red line) up to 45 days after application. H1358aa @0,2 kg/ha and nicosulfuron 40 SC @0,75 L/ha are below this limit at this date. CEB means Commission des essais Biologiques, an Efficacy trial committee. So here, level 7 is the minimum acceptable level of efficacy (i.e., greater than 85 %). Sample 1 contains amicarbazone, mesotrione and nicosulfuron; Sample 2 contains amicarbazone and mesotrione;
and Sample 3 contains nicosulfuron only.
[0025] The use of conventional carriers with the compositions described herein also helps prevent crystallization at low températures and upon dilution in water. And while individual carriers can be used, carrier mixtures of compatible carriers (for example, rapeseed oil, and aromatic 150 (a naphthalene containing solvent available from Exxon Mobile, for example) can 20 be also used as long as the added carriers do not adversely affect the Chemical stability or the solubility or water miscibility of the individual components. Typically the components are présent in the carrier in an amount of about 10% to about 90 % by weight. When diluted with water, the pre-mix is typically présent in an amount of about 0.01% to about 10% by weight.
