Description

HERBICIDAL COMPOSITION COMPRISING OF PENOXSULAM, CYHALOFOP BUTYL AND HALOSULFURON METHYL
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a novel herbicidal composition comprising of penoxsulam, cyhalofop butyl and halosulfuron methyl and methods of using such compositions to prevent and remove most of the weeds and has the advantages of being long in effect duration and safe to the environment.
Particularly, the present invention relates to a synergistic herbicidal composition comprising of penoxsulam, cyhalofop butyl and halosulfuron methyl along with suitable agrochemical additives in synergistically effective amounts.
The present invention further relates to a process for preparing such compositions and a method of using such compositions effectively.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Weeds are valueless plants that grow wild on cultivated land that cause injury or have undesirable effects on the plants. There are many ways of controlling weed growth like mechanical, biological, cultural, and chemical. We need one or all these methods for an effective and environmentally friendly weed control system.
Chemical control of weeds has been an essential tool for managing weeds in home landscapes and crops. With modern changes, many herbicides of today are selective and effective. These traits of some new herbicides, if used properly, can be less hazardous to the environment.
Herbicides are a broad class of pesticides that hamper the growth of unwanted plants. They are chemicals that can control or manipulate undesirable vegetation. These are used widely in row-crop farming, where they are either applied before or after planting. Spraying herbicides prevents or minimizes other vegetation, maximizes crop production, and improves harvesting.
In some cases, herbicidal active ingredients have been shown to be more effective in combination than when applied individually and this is referred to as "synergism." As described in the Herbicide Handbook of the Weed Science Society of America, Eighth Edition, 2002, p. 462 "'synergism' [is] an interaction of two or more factors such that the effect when combined is greater than the predicted effect based on the response to each factor applied separately."
It is therefore desired to provide an improved herbicidal composition and convenient method which safely and effectively control weed species in the agricultural crops and therefore, there is a constant need for the development and application of synergistic formulations which are not only effective in weed control, but also help in increasing the yield of crop, having potential to manage the challenges of resistance development, shifting of weed flora.
Penoxsulam is chemically known as 2-(2,2-difluoroethoxy)-N-(5,8-dimethoxy [ 1 ,2,4]-triazolo[l ,5-c]pyrimidin-2-yl)-6-(trifhioromethyl)benzenesulfonamide, and has the following structure:

Penoxsulam is an active ingredient, a member of triazolopyrimidine sulfonamide family and herbicide designed for postemergence control of annual grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds in rice culture. Penoxsulam herbicide is to be used as a foliar spray on dry-seeded rice crops, or as either a foliar spray or a granular formulation on water- seeded rice crops to control broadleaf weeds, aquatic plants, and certain grasses. Cyhalofop-butyl is a post-emergence, aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicide, which is used in controlling weeds in rice plantations. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) biosynthesis. Cyhalofop-butyl may be used as a reference standard in the determination of Cyhalofop-butyl in rice samples using liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector (LC-DAD). Cyhalofop butyl is chemically known as 2-Butyl-(R)-2-[4(4-cyano-2-fluorophenoxy) phenoxy] propionate, and has the following structure:
Figure imgf000004_0001
Halosulfuron methyl is a selective herbicide for post-emergence control of sedges and other weeds in sugarcane crops. It interferes with ALS enzyme, resulting in a rapid cessation of cell division and plant growth in both roots and shoots. The sulfonylurea herbicides are rapidly absorbed by the foliage as well as by the roots of plants. It is readily translocated throughout the plant and inhibits cell division. Decomposition of the sulfonylureas in the soil takes place by both hydrolytic and microbial processes. The rate of degradation is enhanced by increased temperatures, soil moisture content and low soil pH. Its adsorption to clay or soil colloids is relatively low.
Halosulfuron methyl is chemically known as methyl 3-chloro-5-[(4,6- dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl) carbamoylsulfamoyl] - l-methylpyrazole-4-carboxylate. It’s preparation and use are disclosed in US 4,668,277 and has the following chemical structure:
Figure imgf000004_0002
The present invention is based on the discovery that penoxsulam, cyhalofop butyl and halosulfuron methyl already known individually for their herbicidal efficacy, display a synergistic effect when applied in combination. The herbicidal compounds forming the synergistic composition of this invention are independently known in the art for their effects on plant growth.

The active compounds within the herbicidal composition according to the invention have potent weedicide activity and can be employed for controlling undesired weeds, vegetation, and sedges.
Penoxsulam is a sulfonylurea herbicide, which is a post germination herbicide having a broad spectrum used in paddy field, belongs to an herbicide group called ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitors. It can control and kill Echinochloa crusgalli and annual Cyperus weeds effectively, and it also effective against a variety of leafy weeds. Penoxsulam has the broadest herbicide controlling spectrum among the herbicides used in paddy field, it is characterized by a long-lasting period and a soil activity against Echinochloa crusgalli and a lot of leafy weeds and Cyperus weeds. However, as penoxsulam is a strong acetolactate synthase inhibitor, its herbicidal effect shows slowly, and it takes time for the weeds to die gradually.
The herbicidal composition in addition to herbicidal actives further contains a support, an adjuvant and/or a surfactant. During application, a common adjuvant can be mixed with the composition.
The combinations of the present invention have several advantages over solo application of either penoxsulam, cyhalofop butyl and halosulfuron methyl and, likewise, over any binary combination of these herbicides. The combination of the present invention shows enhanced herbicide action in comparison with the herbicide action of solo action of penoxsulam, cyhalofop butyl and halosulfuron methyl against undesirable vegetation. Moreover, the combinations of the invention show a persistent herbicidal activity, even under difficult weathering conditions, and minimize the risk of weeds escaping. The combinations are generally non-toxic or of low toxicity against mammals. Apart from that, the combinations of the present invention show superior crop compatibility with certain conventional crop plants and with herbicide tolerant crop plants, i.e., their use in these crops leads to a reduced damage of the crop plants and/or does not result in increased damage of the crop plants. Thus, the combinations of the invention can also be applied after the emergence of the crop plants. The combinations of the present invention may also show an accelerated action on harmful plants, i.e., they may affect damage of the harmful plants more quickly in comparison with solo or binary applications of the at least three herbicides involved.
The present invention is further illustrated by the following examples which are provided merely to be exemplary of the inventions and is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Certain modifications and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art and are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.

FIELD AND SYNERGY STUDIES
Weeds were reported to reduce rice yields by 12 to 98%, depending on type method of rice establishment. Rice yield losses due to uncontrolled weed growth and weed competition were least (12%) in transplanted rice and highest in aerobic direct- seeded rice. Traditionally, weed control in India has been largely dependent on manual weeding. However, increased labour scarcity and costs are encouraging farmers to adopt herbicides.
Field studies were conducted to compare the weed controlling activity of the combination of Penoxsulam, Cyhalofop butyl and halosulfuron methyl. The active ingredients, Penoxsulam & Halosulfuron methyl belong to chemical family “Triazolopyrimidine” & “Sulfonylureas” respectively, with mode of action ALS inhibitors (inhibition of acetolactates inhibitor). Cyhalofop butyl-butyl comes under chemical family “Aryl oxyphenoxypropionates” with ACCase (inhibition of Acetyl Co A Carboxylase) mode of action. The combination has the potential of controlling the cross-spectrum weeds (broad leaf weeds, grassy weeds, and sedges) in rice. All three molecules are safe to transplant & direct seeded rice when applied in post-emergence (15-20 days after transplanting) application timing.
The weed control activity of the individual herbicides of the invention and their combinations were evaluated on weeds such as Cyperus difformis, Cyperus iria, Echinochloa colonum, Echinochloa crusgalli, Leptochloa chinensis, Monochoria vaginalis, Ludwigia parviflora & Eclipta alba. Trials were conducted with randomized block design with net plot size of 5m x 6m. Each trial was replicated four times and conducted under GEP guidelines. Spraying was done with manual operated backpack knapsack sprayer with 300 L of water spray volume per hectare at post-emergence (15- 20 days after transplanting/sowing of rice) application timing. Such field trials were carried out at various locations to generate independent data, the locations were chosen randomly across India.
Visual observations were recorded on percent weed control for individual weeds on whole plot basis at 30 days after application. These observations are to be taken from the entire plot.
Appropriate analysis of plant response to herbicide combination is critical in determining the type of activity observed. The most widely used model is the one Gowing* derived and Colby** modified. Gowing described a mathematical formula for calculating the predicting response values for pesticide mixtures. He suggested the two formulae’s for determining the synergy between 2-way and 3-way combinations, *(Jerry Flint et al, 1988) ***
3-way combination:
(AB + AC + BC) ABC Expected (E) = A + B + C - - + -
100 10000
Where, A = observed efficacy of active ingredient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingredient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
C = observed efficacy of active ingredient C at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
2-way combination:
If Al = the percent inhibition of growth by herbicide A at given rate
B 1 = the percent inhibition of growth by herbicide B at given rate then,
Bl (100 - Al)
E = Al +
100
Where,
A = observed efficacy of active ingredient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingredient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
C = observed efficacy of active ingredient C at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
When the percentage of pesticidal control observed for the combination is greater than the expected percentage, there is a synergistic effect. (Ratio of O/E > 1, means synergism observed.)

The result in the above table clearly demonstrates synergy between a three-way combination of Penoxsulam, Cyhalofop butyl and Halosulfuron methyl against weeds like Cyperus iria and Cyperus difformis. The higher ratio of the observed and the expected efficacy clearly demonstrates the synergistic effect of the combination. However, all two-way combinations showed lower ratio of the observed and the expected efficacy, which clearly showed the no synergistic effect of the combination against weeds like Cyperus iria and Cyperus difformis.
