Description

Pesticide composition

Background of the Invention

Glyphosate, or N-phosphonomethylglycine, is a well-known post-emergence broad-spectrum herbicide. A typical commercial formulation contains about 41% glyphosate isopropylamine salt and 12% by weight ethoxylated tallow amine surfactant. Glyphosate is a relatively insoluble acid and is therefore processed and applied as salts such as isopropylamine, sodium or ammonium.

Surfactants are often incorporated into dosage forms to improve the activity of glyphosate. However, the meaning of the term "surfactant" is ambiguous, since it is not necessarily a single compound but a mixture that is supplied by the manufacturer. For example, with respect to ethoxylated surfactants, the degree of ethoxylation may be, and typically is, a statistical mixture. The literature introduces the use of surfactants in glyphosate compositions, especially Weed Science Vol. 25, pp. 275-287 (1977), which shows that a surfactant must be included in glyphosate formulations. Conventional glyphosate formulations use surfactants such as siloxane, which can improve the rain resistance of glyphosate formulations. However, the increased cost of this surfactant after incorporation into the dosage form, and its hydrolytic instability hinder the commercialization of this dosage form. Other dosage forms containing surfactants are described in US 5,362,705, 5,180,414 and 5,118,338.

In addition, recent environmental concerns surrounding the use of chemical pesticides and the potential for pesticide residues to contaminate food and groundwater have led to the desire to radically reduce the amount of effective pesticides used.

It was therefore an object of the present invention to improve the rainfastness properties of pesticide formulations without the use of silicone surfactants.

Another object of the present invention is to enhance the efficacy of these dosage forms by means of environmental support.

Summary of the invention

The present invention, which solves the problems of the aforementioned documents, relates to agrochemical compositions containing isocyanate-terminated macromolecules which are diols, triols and polyols. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pesticide composition in which the pesticide is combined with a hydrophilic isocyanate-terminated prepolymer to significantly increase the efficacy of the pesticide. This pesticide composition comprises surfactant, pesticide and hydrated polymer or hydrophilic prepolymer composed of isocyanate-terminated prepolymer, which shows higher drug efficacy than conventional pesticide formulations, wherein The prepolymer consists essentially of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide units or combinations thereof. The pesticide composition of the present invention also exhibits a slow-release effect, thereby improving its efficacy. The liquid compositions of the present invention can be prepared by simple mixing of the individual components. An effective order of addition can be employed, if desired, so as to endcap with free isocyanato groups in the hydrophilic prepolymer. In the literature, hydrophilic prepolymers comprising isocyanate-terminated prepolymers consisting essentially of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide units or combinations thereof, are hydratable or water-soluble sexual. See Braatz et al., Device Patents 4,886,866 and 5,091,176, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference. In one embodiment, the water-soluble prepolymer can be covalently bonded to an amino group present in the pesticide (such as glyphosate), or to an alcohol group present in the pesticide (such as dicofol (commercially available). trade name Kelthane)). In another embodiment, the prepolymer can be reacted with water to form polyurethane and polyurea-urethane polymer glues prior to combination with the pesticide. In still further embodiments, the prepolymer can form a reaction product with the surfactant through covalent bonding between the isocyanato groups of the prepolymer and reactive groups on the surfactant.

The prepolymers used as starting materials in the present invention provide hydrated polyurethane, polyurea-urethane and polyurea polymer glues. Many polyurethane polymers have been identified previously. Many hydrogel polymers prepared from various prepolymers have been prepared and found a wide range of applications. Typically, hydrogels are prepared by polymerizing hydrophilic monomers in aqueous solution under conditions under which the prepolymer becomes cross-linked, forming a three-dimensional polymer network that gels the solution into a concentrated form. Polyurethane hydrogels are prepared by polymerizing isocyanate-terminated prepolymers to form urea and urethane linkages. More particularly, the prepolymer is prepared from a high molecular weight isocyanate-terminated prepolymer consisting essentially or entirely of ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide units, or mixtures thereof. Preferred prepolymers are derived from polymerized monomer units (prepolymer units). At least 75% of these polymer units are oxyethylene diols or polyols having a molecular weight of from about 100 to about 30,000, preferably 7000 to 30,000, substantially all of which are hydroxyl terminated with polyisocyanates. Suitable polyols are triols such as glycerol, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane and triethylolamine. The prepolymers used in the present invention are prepared by reacting alcohols selected from diols, triols or polyols with polyisocyanates at an isocyanate-to-hydroxyl ratio of about 1.8-2.2, resulting in essentially All hydroxyl groups are terminated with polyisocyanate. Aromatic, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic polyisocyanates can be used. The use of aliphatic polyisocyanates allows for a greater degree of handling and/or moldability, since aliphatic isocyanate-terminated prepolymers generally require 20 to 90 minutes to gel and become a hydrated polymer state. Aryl polyisocyanate gum terminated prepolymers are faster, about 30 to 60 seconds. Aliphatic polyisocyanate is also preferable from the viewpoint of reducing toxicity. Examples of suitable difunctional and polyfunctional isocyanates are as follows: 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, commercially available mixtures of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate and 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, iso Phorne diisocyanate, ethylene diisocyanate, ethylene diisocyanate, propylene-1,2-diisocyanate, cyclohexylene-1,2-diisocyanate, cyclohexylene-1,4-diisocyanate, meta phenylene diisocyanate, 3,3″-bisphenyl-4,4″-diphenylene diisocyanate, 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1,4-tetramethylene diisocyanate, 1, 10-decamethylene diisocyanate, cumene-2,4-diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, methylene biscyclohexyl diisocyanate, 1,4-cyclohexylene diisocyanate, p-tetramethyl Xylene diisocyanate, p-phenylene diisocyanate, 4-methoxy-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 4-chloro-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 4-bromo-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate Isocyanate, 4-ethoxy-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate , 5,6-dimethyl-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4-diisocyanate diphenyl ether, 4,4'-diisocyanate diphenyl ether, benzidine diisocyanate, 4,6- Dimethyl-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 9,10-anthracene diisocyanate, 4,4'-diisocyanatobisbenzyl, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diisocyanate Diphenylmethane, 2,6-dimethyl-4,4'-diisocyanate biphenyl, 2,4-diisocyanato-stilbene, 3,3'-dimethoxy-4,4' -Diisocyanatobiphenyl, 1,4-anthracene diisocyanate, 2,5-fluorene diisocyanate, 1,8-naphthalene diisocyanate, 2,6-diisocyanatobenzofuran, 2,4,6-toluene triisocyanate Isocyanates, P, P′, P″-triphenylmethane triisocyanate, trifunctional trimer of isophorone diisocyanate (isocyanurate), trifunctional biuret of hexamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene Trifunctional trimers of diisocyanates (isocyanurates), polymerized 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate and m-tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate.

The prepolymers used in this invention are formed by capping diols or polyols with polyisocyanates using stoichiometric amounts of reactants. The ratio of isocyanate to hydroxyl should be between 0.01 and 10, preferably 0.1 to 3, most preferably 0.2 to 2.2. Higher ratios can be used, but are not preferred as they may cause binding problems with excess monomer present in the final product. The capping reaction may be carried out by any convenient method or procedure, for example at about 20-150°C in the presence of dry nitrogen for about 2 hours to 14 days, preferably in the absence of a catalyst. A preferred temperature is about 60 to 100°C. When the isocyanate concentration is about the theoretical value, it is the end of the reaction.

Preferred prepolymers include toluene diisocyanate-polyethylene glycol-trimethylolpropane, methylene diisocyanate-methylene diisocyanate homopolymer-polymerized methylene diisocyanate-polyethylene glycol, toluene diisocyanate Polymers of and ethylene oxide with propylene oxide and trimethylolpropane, polymers of isophorone diisocyanate and ethylene oxide-propylene oxide-trimethylolpropane, toluene diisocyanate polyethylene glycol alcohol trilactate, and polyethylene glycol with toluene-terminated diisocyanate. Such prepolymers are available from Hampshire Chemical Company under the tradename HYPOL, as well as HYPOL PreMA, HYPOL 2000, HYPOL 3000, HYPOL 4000, HYPOL 5000 and biodegradable HYPOL.

A typical ratio of pesticide to prepolymer is about 0.001 to 10.

For example in the case of glyphosate, glyphosate acid can be neutralized with any suitable base including alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and ammonium hydroxides with alkylamines to yield herbicidally active glyphosate derivatives . Preferred neutralized glyphosate salts include mono(trimethylamine) salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine, mono(diethylenetriamine) salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine, N-phosphonomethylglycine Monoisopropylamine salt of glycine, mono-n-propylamine salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine, monotallowamine salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine, monosodium salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine and N-phosphonomethylglycine monopotassium salt of glycine. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that the corresponding di- and tri-salts of N-phosphonomethylglycine can also be prepared by increasing the amount of the corresponding base.

In a first embodiment of the invention, the prepolymer can be mixed into solution as a reaction product with water. The amount of prepolymer used should be small enough to avoid immediate gel formation. Generally less than 20% by weight is suitable, more preferably about 2-10% by weight, most preferably about 3-7% by weight. If larger amounts of prepolymer are desired, primary or secondary alkylamines can be added to help prevent gel formation. The reaction is preferably carried out at temperatures from just above the freezing point of water to room temperature. Higher temperatures can be used, but will increase the proportion of colloids formed. The pesticide is added after the prepolymer/water reaction is complete. The amount of pesticide used will depend on the amount desired in the final dosage form and will generally range from about 0.1% to about 80% by weight. A clear, stable solution or suspension is obtained. In the case of glyphosate, the current marketed dosage form contains approximately 36% glyphosate acid (41% isopropylamine salt). Addition of glyphosate acid resulted in the formation of a white slurry. The slurry is then neutralized with any suitable base, preferably a hydroxide such as sodium, potassium or ammonium, most preferably isopropylamine. It is best to add enough base to form a monosalt, but when more base is added, di- and triple-salts are formed.

The surfactant can be added at any time after the prepolymer has reacted with water, that is, it can be added immediately before the pesticide is added, immediately before neutralization, or after neutralization. The preferred amount of surfactant added is about 0.1% to 20% (w/w) of the pesticide, the actual amount depending on the nature of the surfactant used. When the water evaporates, a strong elastic film can be obtained. These films are hydratable, water soluble films which can be formed after the dosage form has been sprayed onto the substrate. Such hydratable films are highly desirable because they reduce or prevent wash-off of pesticides from sprayed substrate surfaces, such as plant foliage. These hydratable films can also greatly improve the rain resistance properties of the dosage form.

In a second embodiment of the invention, pesticides having reactive groups capable of forming a covalent bond with a prepolymer incorporated into the dosage form as a reaction product covalently bound to the pesticide will be used. In the case of glyphosate in particular, glyphosate acid is added directly to the prepolymer and reacts with free isocyanato groups present in the prepolymer to cap. Depending on the glyphosate used, it may be partially or fully isocyanato-blocked. The resulting reaction product, as described in the first embodiment, is neutralized with a suitable base. Surfactant is added before or after neutralization. The amounts of the components used are similar to those of the first embodiment described above.

In a third embodiment of the present invention, a hydrophilic isocyanate-terminated prepolymer is added via the isocyanato group (-NCO) of the polymer and reactive groups on the surfactant, such as a primary amine Or the covalent bond between secondary amino group (-NH ₂ , -NH), mercapto group (-SH), hydroxyl group (-OH) and carboxyl group (-COOH), and the reaction product of surfactant. As in the second embodiment, depending on the amount of reactants used, it is possible to partially or completely end-block with isocyanato groups in the prepolymer. Preferred surfactants are ethoxylated alkylamines, including alkyl or alkylaryl ethoxylates, including polyethylene glycol, diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol. Then add pesticides. In some cases, suitable cationic or anionic surfactants may also be used. The amounts of the components used are similar to those of the first embodiment described above.

The formulations according to the invention are preferably applied by spray to the above-ground parts of the plants. The concentration of the active ingredient should be such that the pesticide effective amount depends on the particular pesticide and pest and the desired effect.

Example 14

A dose-response study was carried out over several summer/autumn months to evaluate the effect of the invention and the results are shown in Figures 1 and 2. The experimental design was a randomized complete group of 4 replicates. During the study period, the plant injury status was observed and evaluated for several weeks.

With the formulations of Examples 2, 3 and 4, and commercially available grades of glyphosate, the bermudagrass were sprayed at dosages of 0.375, 0.75 and 1.5 pounds of active ingredient per acre.

Commercially available glyphosate was effective in controlling bermudagrass at two higher doses (0.75 and 1.5 lb/acre). At these relatively high concentrations, all formulations in Figures 1 and 2 were highly damaging to bermudagrass. Twig fresh weight data illustrate the proportion of damage. At 0.375 lbs/acre, the formulation of the present invention was more effective than commercially available glyphosate in reducing bermudagrass shoot weight and was virtually equal at the two higher concentrations.

At the end of 6, all weeds in all plots were dead. In June-July, preliminary data indicated that plots sprayed with the samples of Examples 2, 3 and 4 still showed herbicidal activity and little regrowth was seen.

Example 17

In another plot, a sample of Example 4 was sprayed. The plot was divided into two halves, and only half was simulated rainfall at a rate of about 10 liters/plot 1.5 hours after spraying. After 6 weeks, all weeds in 2 plots were dead. At 3 months, there were similar deaths on both sides of the plot. There was no difference between the water-drenched and non-drenched sides.

Example 18

Add 2 grams of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate to the solution. 12 grams of glyphosate acid was added and the solution was neutralized to a pH of approximately 4.8 with isopropylamine. A viscous, clear, colorless solution was obtained.

Example 19

Add 5 grams of glyphosate acid to 98 grams of water. After stirring for 30 minutes, 2 grams of HYPOL 2000 prepolymer were added.
