Description

 Improvement of the biological effect of agrochemical compositions when applied to the culture substrate, suitable formulations and their application

The present invention relates to the improvement of the action of agrochemical compositions in soil application, the agrochemical compositions suitable for this application, and their use for controlling noxious insects or phytopathogenic fungi.

Agrochemical active substances can be applied in different ways for controlling harmful organisms. In addition to the foliar treatment, a treatment of the culture substrate can also be carried out. This may be soil, but also special substrates u.a. based on peat moss, coconut fiber, rock wool, e.g. Grodan®, pumice, expanded clay, e.g. Lecaton® or Lecadan®, clay granules, e.g. Seramis®, foams, e.g. Baystrat®, vermiculite, perlite, man-made earth, e.g. Hygromull®, or combinations of these substrates. All of these culture substrates are referred to below as soil. By application of active substances in or on the soil, both soil-borne harmful organisms are brought into contact with the active substance and the uptake of systemic

Active ingredients initiated by the roots. There are already a variety of tools known to the

To improve the effect of agrochemical active ingredients in foliar treatment. This includes

For example, penetration promoters, which facilitate the penetration of the active ingredients into the plant

(e.g., WO 03/000053). Corresponding adjuvants have not yet been described for the soil applications of insecticides and fungicides. Known is the influence of so-called "Soil Penetration Aids" which accelerate the penetration of irrigation water into dry soils (e.g., Agri-Prep® CS from Northwest Agricultural Products).

It is also known that surfactants can affect the distribution of permethrin in soil (Howell, McMullan PM (ed.), 1998, Adjuvants for Agrochemicals, Proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on Adjuvants for Agrochemicals, Memphis, USA, pp. 247-253 ).

Improvements of herbicidal agents by optimized formulations have also been described (Chung et al., Pesticide Science, 1993, 38 (2-3), pp. 250-252).

It has now surprisingly been found that the biological activity of soil and insecticidal and fungicidal compositions can be improved when these compositions contain an adjuvant. The adjuvant can either already be part of the concentrated formulation (in-can formulation) or added in the course of the preparation of the ready-to-use pesticide solution (tank mix application). The improved effect occurs both in the control of soil organisms than - - Also in the control of leaf pests or leaf diseases, which are combated by the systemic drugs. In this way, the amount of active ingredient can be reduced by the compositions of the invention or an improved effect can be achieved at the same rate. In addition, the water consumption can be minimized.

The subject of the present invention is therefore the use of adjuvants to improve the action of soil agrochemical compositions, e.g. by spraying on the floor, casting, side-dressing, shower-drenching, overhead drenching or application as part of an irrigation system (drip irrigation).

New suspension concentrates for this use have now been found containing

at least one solid at room temperature agrochemical active ingredient from the group of insecticides or fungicides,

at least one adjuvant,

In addition to concentrated formulations, the invention also relates to dilute, ready-to-use compositions. The invention furthermore relates to the use of these compositions for combating soil-borne harmful organisms, leaf pests and phytopathogenic fungi.

An adjuvant in the context of the present invention is a substance which causes an improvement in the biological activity in the test system described below:

Young corn plants are planted in 1 liter containers with soil (sandy loam soil, 10% by weight moisture, pH 6.7). The plants grow in the glasshouse at 20 ⁰ C for 3 or 12 days (until the 2- or 3-leaf stage), before casting. In this case, 0.25 mg or 0.5 mg of the insecticidal active ingredient (S) -3-chloro-N ^] - {2-methyl-4- [l, 2,2,2-tetrafluoro-l-

(trifluoromethyl) ethyl] phenyl} -N ² - (1-methyl-2-methylsulfonylethyl) phthalamide (known from WO 06/22225) and 60 mg of potential adjuvant applied in a Angiess volume of 60 ml. 1, 3, 7 or 14 days after casting, the plants are infected by placing larvae of the stage L2 of Spodoptera frugiperda and determined their mortality after every 7 days. As a control, the same test is performed without the addition of a potential adjuvant. When using the adjuvants according to the invention, an increased mortality compared to the control is shown in this test. The mortality is not necessarily increased at any time, it can also occur only an improvement of the initial effect or the long-term effect. As examples of adjuvants according to the invention, mention may be made in particular of the following substances and compositions:

(I-1) dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate, commercially available e.g. in the Geropon® product line,

(1-2) Compositions containing dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate and sodium benzoate, available commercially, e.g. in the Aerosol® product line; preferably that is

The application is done in a custom-adapted formulation. The treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the compositions is carried out by soil treatment, e.g. in the form of one of the introductory variants.

As already mentioned above, according to the invention all plants can be treated. In a preferred embodiment, wild-type or plant species obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and plant cultivars and their parts are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars which have been obtained by genetic engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), are treated.

According to the invention, particular preference is given to plants of the respective commercial or in

Treated plant varieties. Plant varieties are understood to be plants with new properties ("traits") that are obtained both by conventional breeding and by mutagenesis or grown by recombinant DNA techniques. These can be varieties, biotypes and genotypes.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also give rise to superadditive ("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and / or enhancements of the spectrum of action and / or enhancement of the effect of the compositions of the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or against water or Bodensalzgehalt, increased flowering, easier harvesting , Acceleration of ripeness, higher crop yields, higher quality and / or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher shelf life and / or workability of the harvested products possible, which go beyond the actual expected effects.

The preferred plants or plant cultivars to be treated according to the invention include all plants which, as a result of the genetic engineering modification, obtained genetic material which gives these plants particularly advantageous valuable properties ("traits"). Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or to bottoms salt, increased flowering, easier harvesting, acceleration of ripeness, higher crop yields, higher quality and / or higher nutritional value of the harvested products , higher shelf life and / or workability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are an increased defense of the plants against animal and microbial pests, as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and / or viruses as well as an increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidal active substances. Examples of transgenic plants are the important crops such as cereals (wheat, rice), corn, soybeans, potatoes, sugar beets, tomatoes, peas and other vegetables, cotton, tobacco, oilseed rape and fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and Grapes), with special emphasis on maize, soya, potato, cotton, tobacco and oilseed rape. Traits that are particularly emphasized are the increased defense of the plants against insects, arachnids, nematodes and snails by toxins produced in the plants, in particular those which are produced by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (eg by the genes CryΙA (a) , CryΙA (b), CryΙA (c), CryllA, CrylllA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CrylF and combinations thereof) in the plants (hereinafter "Bt plants"). As traits, the increased defense of plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, are also particularly emphasized. Phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits which are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulfonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (eg "PAT" gene). The genes which confer the desired properties ("traits") can also occur in combinations with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of "Bt plants" are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soybean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (eg corn, cotton, soya), KnockOut® (eg maize), StarLink® (eg maize), Bollgard® ( Cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soybean varieties, which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate eg corn, cotton, soy), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, eg rapeseed), IMI® (tolerance against imidazolinone) and STS® (tolerance to sulfonylureas eg corn). As herbicide-resistant (conventionally grown on herbicide tolerance) plants are also sold under the name Clearfield® varieties (eg corn). Of course, these statements also apply to future or future marketed plant varieties with these or future developed genetic traits.

The plants listed can be treated particularly advantageously according to the invention with the compositions according to the invention. The preferred ranges given above also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particularly emphasized is the plant treatment with the compositions specifically listed in the present text.

Preparation Examples

To prepare a suspension concentrate, all the liquid components are first mixed together. In the next step, the solids are added and stirred until a homogeneous suspension is formed. The homogeneous suspension is first coarse and then subjected to a fine grinding, so that one contains a suspension in which 90% of the solid particles have a particle size below 10 microns. Then add Kelzan S and water while stirring at room temperature. There is obtained a homogeneous suspension concentrate. Contents are given in% by weight.

Table 1: Compositions of inventive formulations

Shelf life of formulations according to the invention

To test the storage stability, 100 ml of formulation were stored for eight weeks under changing temperature conditions (TW) and at 54 ° C. The changing temperature conditions are 48 hours at 30 ⁰ C, lowering the temperature in 22.5 hours at 2 ⁰ C / hour to - 15 ⁰ C, 75 hours at - 15 ⁰ C, increasing the temperature over 22.5 hours with 2 ⁰ C / hour to 30 ^° C. After storage, the sample is brought to room temperature and dispersibility, particle size and viscosity are checked.

The dispersibility (DISP) is determined by the CIPAC MT 180 method, the particle size (Part) is measured on a Malvern Mastersizer 2000, and the dynamic viscosity (Visk) is measured at 20 s ^"1 on a RheoStress RS 150 from Haake.

applications

Attempts to soil treatment with formulations according to the invention

General description of Examples 1 and 2

After reaching the cotyledon stage, uniformly grown Paprika plants of the variety 'Feher' are transplanted into 3 liter plastic pots (13.5 x 13.5 x 23.5 cm) with natural soil or coconut fiber substrate. After transplanting the plants at 24 ⁰ C, 70% rel. Humidity and 12h light (Na steam lamps) cultivated. Fertilization and irrigation via a drip hose / pot. Fertilizer solutions of approx. 3x20 ml / pot are applied daily. The insecticide or insecticide adjuvant drench solution is applied after one day interruption of fertilizer solution administration 29 days after sowing. The volume of drench solution is about 60 ml / pot. The drench solution is applied to the substrate in a circular manner around the shoot base by means of a pipette. The drench solution contains 0.355 mg imidacloprid / plant. 1 day after application of the drench solution, the supply of the plants with water and fertilizer solution is switched on again.

As a control, the same test is performed without the addition of a potential adjuvant. For this purpose, a known formulation of imidacloprid is used (Admire® 2F, Bayer CropScience). When using the adjuvants according to the invention, in this test an increased mortality compared to the control is shown. The mortality is not necessarily increased at any time, it can also occur only an improvement of the initial effect or the long-term effect.

Example 1: Myzus persicae in field soil

For the efficacy test against Myzus persicae (green peach aphid), pepper plants are infected with a mixed population of Myzus persicae (3-leaf stage, 25 days after sowing, 4 days before the Drench application). To assess the rate of action, the mortality in% 2 and 3 days after Drenchapplikation evaluated (30-36 days old plants). The results are summarized in Table 3. To assess the duration of action, 67-day-old plants are inoculated again with Myzus persicae 38 days after drench application as described above, and the mortality in% in the lower and upper half of the shoot is evaluated separately 7 days after inoculation. The results are summarized in Table 4.

In the selected experimental setup are only female aphids, which settle after reaching the adult stage almost daily a new aphid larva. As a result, an aphid population grows extremely fast.

The number of aphids remaining on a treated plant is critical to rebuilding the aphid population. This leads to significant differences being found in the aphid experiments in the greenhouse only at very low concentrations compared to the practice. The applied amount of active ingredient of 0.355 mg / plant is higher by a factor of 5 than the breaking edge in the greenhouse experiment with the standard formulation without adjuvant. Therefore, a difference of 5% in the effect is significant. In addition, efficiencies above 95% have less than 10 aphids on the treated plant; Significant differences of 5% in this area are clearly visible as e.g. 10 aphids (90-95% effect) rebuild the population much faster than z. B. 2-3 aphid (> 98% effect).

Table 4:

Example 2: Spodoptera exigua in field soil

To test the effects against Spodoptera exigua (sugar beet column), the third leaf of each pepper plant is cut off 20 days after drench application, placed in a Petri dish and covered with Spododoptera exigua larvae. After the desired time, the effect on the larvae is determined in% mortality. The results are summarized in Table 5.

Table 5:

Example 3:

A pepper plant grows after sowing for about 30 days in a one liter vessel. Then, 60 ml of a solution having the indicated concentration of insecticidal active ingredient and adjuvant are poured on and after the specified time infected with the green peach aphid (Myzus ersicae). After the desired time the kill is determined in%. 100% means that all aphids have been killed; 0% means that no aphids have been killed. As a control serves the same experiment without addition of adjuvant.

The results are summarized in Tables 6, 7 and 8.

Example 4;

A cabbage plant (Brassica oleraceä) grows after sowing for about 14 days in a one liter vessel. Then, 60 ml of a solution having the indicated concentration of insecticidal active ingredient and adjuvant are poured on and after the indicated time infected with larvae of the cabbage (Plutella xylostellά). After the desired time the kill is determined in%. 100% means that all caterpillars have been killed; 0% means that no caterpillars have been killed. As a control serves the same experiment without addition of adjuvant.

The results are summarized in Table 9.

Example 5:

A cabbage plant (Brassica oleraceά) grows after sowing for about 10 days in a one liter vessel. Then, 60 ml of a solution having the indicated concentration of insecticidal active ingredient and adjuvant are poured on and after the specified time infected with the green peach aphid {Myzus persicae). After the desired time the kill is determined in%. 100% means that all aphids have been killed; 0% means that no aphids have been killed. As a control serves the same experiment without addition of adjuvant.

The results are summarized in Table 10.

In Tables 6 to 10 the mortalities are divided into the following classes:

A - 0 to 25%

B - 26 to 50%

C - 51 to 75%

D - 76 to 100
