Description
THE USE OF AMINOPYRALID HERBICIDE COMPOSITIONS TO CONTROL WEEDS IN SUGARCANE
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 63/269044 filed on March 9, 2022, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
Background
Sugarcane is an important crop because of its many uses including the production of molasses, brown sugar, sugar, ethanol, and alcoholic beverages. Sugarcane can be used for animal feed and sugar waste may be converted to fertilizer and fuel. Sugarcane is grown on approximately 10MM ha in Brazil, with the acreage likely to increase in the future. The 2020/2021 harvest in the South-Center region of Brazil was 603 million tons. A portion of the harvest was used to produce alcohol, with a total alcohol production of 29.7 billion liters. Other countries where large scale sugarcane production occurs include India, China, Mexico, Thailand, Pakistan, Colombia, Australia, Indonesia, and the United States.
Certain grass and broadleaf weeds are known to compete with sugarcane, lowering crop yields and causing problems for harvesting equipment. Currently, broadleaf and grass weeds such as Ipomoea spp., Merremia spp. , Miicuna spp. , Riccinus Communis, Brachiaria decumbens, and Panicum maximum, are problematic.
Pre-emergent herbicides can be used — and are sometimes preferred — to control weeds in sugarcane, and mixtures of active ingredients are frequently employed. In some mixtures, active ingredients having pre-emergence activity are combined with ingredients that possess postemergence activity. Herbicide mixtures used to control weeds in sugarcane may exhibit control for 90 days or longer. Effective long term weed control can eliminate the need for subsequent post-emergence herbicide treatments.
Because of the continued problem of weed pressure and the emergence of resistant weeds, there is an ongoing need for new herbicidal compositions and methods that provide both pre- and post-
emergence control of weeds in sugarcane. Such compositions should provide long term control of weeds and have excellent sugarcane crop safety.
Detailed Description
It is well known in the agricultural chemical art that the interactions of agricultural chemicals are unpredictable. When two or more compounds are applied to plants they may display synergistic effects, additive effects, or antagonistic effects. Such effects cannot be predicted and experiments are required in order to discover which combinations of agricultural chemicals may be usefully combined to control weeds.
It has surprisingly been found that compositions of aminopyralid + diclosulam; aminopyralid + diclosulam + tebuthiuron; aminopyralid + diclosulam + clomazone; or aminopyralid + sulfentrazone + tebuthiuron show excellent control of weeds when applied pre-emergence to sugarcane.

It has surprisingly been discovered that certain ternary mixtures of herbicides are effective in controlling weeds in sugarcane. For example, mixtures of diclosulam plus tebuthiuron plus

Experimental Results
Field studies were performed to determine the efficacy of aminopyralid, alone or combined with other partners, in both pre- and post-emergence applications for weed control in sugarcane. Aminopyralid was tested pre- and post-emergence against weeds using formulation MILESTONE® at rates from 70 to 126 g ae/ha. The MILESTONE® aminopyralid formulation was used both alone and combined with other active ingredients. Combinations tested include mixtures of aminopyralid combined with diclosulam, aminopyralid combined with diclosulam and clomazone, aminopyralid combined with diclosulam and tebuthiuron, and aminopyralid combined with sulfentrazone and tebuthiuron. Test results were compared to results obtained with standard treatments.
All treatments were diluted in water and a single application for each study (backpack sprayer) was performed delivering 150 L of spray solution per ha. Weed control and sugarcane selectivity were assessed by visual percentage scale (0% is no effect and 100% is complete control). Preemergence tests were sprayed between 0 and 21 days after planting, typically at planting. Postemergence tests were sprayed after the emergence of sugarcane or weeds, typically between 21 and 150 days after planting. Significance of treatment effect was evaluated with F- approximate test (u=0.1) and least square means from different treatments were compared with Tukey’s test.
Compounds and mixtures were tested using formulated active ingredients. The names and concentrations and amount of active ingredients in the compositions are listed in Table 1. Test results are shown in Tables 2-14.

No significant crop injury was observed in any treatment.
As shown in the Tables above aminopyralid alone or mixed with other herbicides tested displayed efficacy against key weed species and selectivity for sugarcane. The following compositions, aminopyralid plus diclosulam; aminopyralid plus diclosulam plus tebuthiuron; aminopyralid plus diclosulam plus clomazone; aminopyralid plus sulfentrazone plus tebuthiuron all demonstrated effective pre-emergence and post-emergence performance from to 90 to 210 DAA against key weeds. The control of these weeds enhances the production of sugarcane by minimizing weed competition.
When harvesting sugarcane, time is of the essence. Once the canes are cut, they begin to deteriorate. Freshly cut canes need to be delivered quickly to a processing mill to maximize sugar production. The excellent herbicidal effects demonstrated above eliminate or minimize
problems caused by late weed infestations that interfere with mechanized sugarcane harvesting Harvester efficiency is improved by minimizing the need to halt harvesting for machine cleaning (removing weed debris from harvesting machinery). As a result, overall costs are lowered, harvesting performance is increased, and sugar production is maximized.
