Definitions

  • This invention relates to the field of pesticide formulations and more specifically to pesticide formulations that exhibit streaming birefringence.
  • Pesticide compositions have been used in agrochemical and related applications. Pesticide compositions typically include an active ingredient as well as an adjuvant. Active ingredients include herbicides such as glyphosate. An example of a typical adjuvant is a surfactant. Pesticide compositions are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,365,551; U.S. Pat. No. 6,881,707; U.S. Pat. No. 6,544,930; U.S. Pat. No. 5,468,718; and WO 2006/023431, which are each incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • Drawbacks to such pesticide compositions include retention of the spray drops on the target surface and incomplete incorporation into the target pest. Further drawbacks include the limited time the active ingredient has to move into the pest due to the spray solution solidifying.
  • an improved pesticide composition having streaming birefringence.
  • Additional needs include a pesticide composition having an improved retention and time for active diffusion.
  • a pesticide composition comprising an active ingredient and a surfactant adjuvant, and which exhibits streaming birefringence.
  • a pesticide composition includes a super high load mixed salt glyphosate soluble liquid formulation.
  • An embodiment of a pesticide composition may include one or more active ingredients and one or more surfactants with the final formulation exhibiting streaming birefringence.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph indicating the percent control of weed growth at ten days after treatment with an embodiment of the present invention and Round Up® Original herbicide;
  • FIG. 2 is a graph indicating the percent control of weed growth at 27 days after treatment with the same embodiments as in FIG. 1 and Round Up® Original herbicide;
  • FIGS. 3A-3D are photographs of a sample bottle containing an embodiment of a pesticide composition that exhibits streaming birefringence.
  • a pesticide composition exhibiting streaming birefringence includes an active ingredient and a surfactant adjuvant blend.
  • active ingredients may be formulated in a new thermodynamic equilibrium phase.
  • streaming birefringence e.g., flow birefringence
  • a pesticide composition that exhibits streaming birefringence has molecules or particles that are randomly oriented at rest hence the composition is isotropic and does not exhibit birefringence. But during flow the molecules or particles are not randomly oriented hence the composition is anisotropic and exhibits birefringence.
  • a pesticide composition that exhibits streaming birefringence may include an active ingredient that is combined with elongated surfactant micelles; the elongated surfactant micelles may or may not contain a solubilized oil phase.
  • the pesticide composition is isotropic and does not exhibit birefringence because, in theory, the micelles are randomly oriented. But when the pesticide composition is disturbed or moved in any manner, the movement may align the elongated micelles along the flow field creating an optically anisotropic system that exhibits birefringence.
  • This dynamic structuring may be observed by placing a composition between cross polarized films that are lighted from behind by a light module.
  • a pesticide composition having streaming birefringence is isotropic and dark. Under movement however the composition is anisotropic, and the material may be visually observed (e.g. bright or lighted) between the cross polarized films. In other words, the streaming birefringent phase is illuminated in contrast to the dark static isotropic phase.
  • Active ingredients may include any chemical substance that has pesticidal properties.
  • examples of active ingredients having pesticidal properties include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, biocides, molluscicides, algaecides, plant growth regulators, anthelmintics, rodenticides, nematocides, acaricides, amoebicides, protozoacides, or combinations thereof.

  • the pesticide composition is a super highly loaded glyphosate composition comprising greater than about 50 wt. % glyphosate salt comprising a mixture of potassium and isopropylamine (IPA) glyphosate salts, the phosphate ester of a tallow amine ethoxylate, and an alkylpolysaccharide.
  • the potassium and IPA may be in any ratio suitable for an agrochemical use.
  • the pesticide composition comprises a weight ratio of potassium to IPA salt from about 91:9 to about 99:1.
  • the pesticide composition exhibiting streaming birefringence has many advantages over conventional compositions.
  • the composition system can be in a single-phase thermodynamic equilibrium, which may provide long term physical stability in comparison to non thermodynamic or multiple-phase equilibrium systems.
  • Further advantages include the elongated micelles of the pesticide composition showing that the system is very close to a hexagonal liquid crystal phase transition. The presence of a liquid crystal phase provides many advantages to a pesticide formulation.
  • Such advantages include increased efficacy due to enhanced translocation of the active ingredient, drift control due to increased elongational viscosity of the spray solution, increased active ingredient (a.i.) diffusion that will result from keeping the spray from solidifying for extended times, and improved sticking of the spray solution to the target that may result from the surface chemistry of the surfactant phase behavior.
  • the sprayed solution may form a liquid crystal during drying faster than a system that originally consisted of spherical micelles.
  • Additional advantages of the pesticide composition include that the elongated micelles may increase retention of the spray drop on the target surface due to increased viscosity.
  • pesticidal active ingredients may be formulated into a streaming birefringent phase.
  • the elongated micelles may be formulated into formulation types other than soluble liquids.
  • a mixed K:IPA salt of glyphosate with a high ratio of K was used with a surfactant blend of two surfactants.
  • the first surfactant in the blend was a phosphate ester of a tallow amine ethoxylate.
  • the surfactant chemistry for phosphate esters of tallow amine is disclosed in WO 01/11958A1, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
  • the second surfactant in the blend was an alkylpolysaccharide.
  • a surfactant used in Formulations 1-7 and 9 was the Surfactant PET5, which is a phosphate ester of a 5-mole-ethoxylate of tallow amine; another surfactant used in each formulation was TERWET® 3001 surfactant, which is an alkylpolysaccharide. Both surfactants were obtained from Huntsman (The Woodlands, Texas) as experimental Surfactant PET5 and TERWET® 3001 respectively.
  • Potassium and isopropylamine (IPA) glyphosate salts are available from sources such as Monsanto (St. Louis, Mo.), Nufarm (Victoria, Australia), Albaugh (Ankeny, Iowa), or Cheminova (Lemvig, Denmark).
  • IPA isopropylamine
  • potassium glyphosate may be prepared by neutralizing n-phosphonomethylglycine acid with potassium hydroxide
  • IPA glyphosate may be prepared by neutralizing n-phosphonomethyl glycine acid with isopropyl amine.
  • the formulations of Table 1 were made by mixing the glyphosate salts and surfactant(s) in a sample bottle until uniform. In some instances a sample was heated to facilitate mixing and cooled to room temperature (RT).
  • RT room temperature
  • Glyphosate formulations that are considered for commercial introduction typically are physically stable, homogeneous at specified temperatures, have a cloud point greater than 50° C., and have a viscosity sufficiently low to be pumped.
  • glyphosate Formulations 1-9 were analyzed for homogeneity and cloud point. Homogeneity was established by visually inspecting the formulations at room temperature (RT) for clarity. Cloud point was determined by mixing each formulation while heating until it became cloudy. The formulation was then removed from the heat source and the temperature was measured in degrees Celsius (° C.) when the formulation regained clarity. Formulations 1-9 were also examined to see if they exhibited streaming birefringence.
  • the streaming birefringence of a formulation was established by visually inspecting a sample bottle containing the formulation that was placed between two cross polarized plates, which were lighted from behind. The formulations were visually inspected both at rest and while agitated. The results for each formulation are indicated in Table 2.
  • Formulations 3 and 4 provided good stability, which is indicated, for example, by cloud point. Additionally, Formulation 3 passed three freeze/thaw cycles to ⁇ 10° C. and a four week freeze at ⁇ 10° C. without any precipitation, which also indicates good stability. Notably, this formulation stayed fluid at ⁇ 10° C. Moreover, each formulation of Table 1 had acceptable viscosity. For example, the viscosity of Formulation 4 was 170 centipoise (cP) at 20° C. But the density of Formulation 4 was measured at 1.403 g/ml, which corresponds to a relatively heavy 1,403 g/L.
  • cP centipoise
  • formulations were loaded with glyphosate at a high level, physically stable, homogeneous at room temperature, and had an acceptable cloud point and viscosity.
  • potassium glyphosate made up about 51 wt. % of the final formulation of Formulations 1-9 with K:IPA mixed salt present at a 96:4 ratio of mixed salt.
  • Formulation 4 contained 583 grams acid equivalent (gae)/L glyphosate from the K salt and 22 gae/L glyphosate from the IPA salt.
  • a total of 605 gae/L glyphosate in Formulation 4 is significantly above the highest loaded commercially available formulation of 540 gae/L, of which there are several.
  • Formulation 9 was similar to Formulation 4, but the glyphosate loading was pushed to an even higher level of 615 gae/L.
  • the surfactant loading in these formulations was approximately 130 g/L.
  • the surfactant was preferred to be fully loaded since there was such a high loading of glyphosate.
  • liquid glyphosate formulations can be loaded at or above 600 gae/L glyphosate, be physically stable (even at temperatures as low as ⁇ 10° C.), and have a relatively low viscosity (e.g. 423 cP at 5° C.).
  • Roundup® Original is obtainable from Monsanto, St. Louis, Mo. Generally, plants were grown on test plots that were thirty feet long by ten feet wide and that included four thirty-inch width rows of plants. Three replicate test plots were used for each herbicide tested. The crop chosen for testing was a Roundup Ready® soybean (Monsanto, St. Louis, Mo.), which were at the trifoliate stage, approximately 12 inches tall. The weeds in the test plots were 6-12 inches tall.
  • AMATU Tall Waterhemp
  • ABUTH Velvetleaf
  • IPHE Ivyleaf Morningglory
  • XANST Common Cocklebur
  • ZEAMD Dent Corn
  • One set of test plots was left unsprayed to act as a control—to monitor prevailing weed growth.
  • Formulations were applied using flat fan nozzles at 30 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) spray pressure and 10 gallons/acre spray volume. The plots were visually observed at 10, 19, and 27 days after treatment (DAT) to determine weed control. No soybean phytotoxicity was observed for any of the samples.
  • weed control is reported as a percent (%) of control.
  • the weed types are indicated on the x-axis and the percent control is on the y-axis.
  • the results for the % control of each weed type are shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 by depicting Formulation No. 3 as the left-most bar, Formulation No. 9 as the middle bar, and RU Orig. as the right-most bar.
  • the results were obtained by observing the growth of weeds on each plot and averaging the observations for the three test plots that were sprayed with a particular herbicide. This average was compared to the average growth of that weed type in the control plots.
  • Formulation No. 3 reduced the growth of that weed type by 70% at 10 and at 27 DAT. In other words, only 30% of AMATU was observed growing on the test plots sprayed with Formulation No. 3 as compared to the test plots left unsprayed.
  • Formulations 3 and 9 both performed better at 10 DAT than RU Orig. in controlling AMATU (Tall Waterhemp) growth. Furthermore, all three formulations were effective at controlling XANST (Common Cocklebur) and ZEAMD (Dent Corn) growth at 10 DAT. Similar results were observed at 19 DAT, which is shown in Table 3. Referring to FIG. 2 and Table 3, it is shown that Formulations 3 and 9 both maintained a better performance at 27 DAT than RU Orig with respect to AMATU and that all three formulations were very effective at controlling the growth of XANST and ZEAMD.
  • Pesticide compositions that exhibit streaming birefringence are not limited to a particular surfactant chemistry or active ingredient.
  • the active ingredient of Formulation 10 is potassium glyphosate 58.0 wt. % ai, which corresponds to 47.5 wt. % glyphosate ae.
  • Formulation 10 was made by adding 15 grams of a lard DMAPA N-oxide surfactant to 85 grams of a 58% solution of potassium glyphosate in water. The blend was gently warmed to about 50° C. and it was stirred until uniform.
  • the active ingredients of Formulations 11 and 12 were Metolachlor (98.7% ai, liquid technical) and Tebuconazole (96.5% ai, solid powder technical) respectively.
  • Formulations 11 and 12 were made by mixing 0.05 grams of the respective active ingredient with 19.95 grams of Formulation 3 to make a 0.25% w/w % pesticide formulation.
  • Potassium glyphosate may be obtained from Monsanto (St. Louis, Mo.), Nufarm (Victoria, Australia), Albaugh (Ankeny, Iowa), or Cheminova (Lemvig, Denmark), or it may be prepared as explained above. Metolachlor may be obtained from Syngenta (Greensboro, N.C.) or DuPont (Newark, Del.), whereas Tebuconazole may be obtained from Bayer (Kansas City, Mo.) or Makhteshim-Agan (New York, N.Y.). TERWET® 3001 surfactant and experimental Surfactant PET5 were obtained from Huntsman (The Woodlands, Tex.).
  • the lard DMAPA amidoamine oxide surfactant was synthesized by combining partially hydrogenated lard (125 grams) with dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) (49 grams) in a reactor vessel, and heating the mixture to 160° C. The heated mixture was stirred under a nitrogen atmosphere for 6 hours. Excess DMAPA was stripped out of the reactor by passing a stream of nitrogen over the reaction mixture while continuing to stir at 160° C. The mixture was cooled to 50° C., and 35% hydrogen peroxide solution (45 grams) was carefully added. After 1 hour of continuous stirring, the lard-amidoamine N-oxide was ready for use.
  • DMAPA dimethylaminopropylamine
  • DMAPA is available from Huntsman (The Woodlands, Tex.)
  • hydrogen peroxide is available from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, Mo.)
  • partially hydrogenated lard was obtained from H.E. Butt Grocery Company (San Antonio, Tex.).
  • Formulation 10 was analyzed for homogeneity and cloud point in the same manner as Example 1.
  • Formulation 10 was crystal clear and had a cloud point of 90° C.
  • Formulations 11 and 12 were hazy so their cloud points were not obtained. Nevertheless each formulation of Table 4 exhibited streaming birefringence under cross-polarized light.
  • Formulation 11 was an oil-in-water emulsion that formed a second discontinuous phase suspended in a continuous phase.
  • the continuous phase of this formulation exhibited streaming birefringence.
  • Formulation 12 was a solid suspended in a continuous phase. After standing at room temperature for about 20 hours, streaming birefringence was observed in the equilibrium continuous aqueous phase.
  • Formulations 11 and 12 show that a second discontinuous phase can be suspended in a thermodynamic equilibrium composition that exhibits streaming birefringence without destroying the elongated micelle structure of the continuous phase that produces the streaming birefringence.
  • the second dispersed phase can either be an oil-in-water emulsion such as Formulation 11 or a solid suspension, such as Formulation 12.
  • FIG. 3A is a photograph of Formulation 10 in ambient light and at rest.
  • Formulation 10 is a clear liquid that is physically homogeneous.
  • FIG. 3B is a photograph of the same formulation at rest between crossed polarizing films and is lighted from behind the films. Only the curvature of the glass sample bottle can be partially seen in this photograph; the formulation is not birefringent at rest.
  • FIGS. 3C and 3D the formulation shows birefringence under very slight mixing with a magnetic stirrer ( FIG. 3C ) and more birefringence with slightly faster stirring ( FIG. 3D ). The only difference between FIGS.
  • 3B and 3C and 3 D is the degree of flow.
  • the elongated micelles of the surfactant are randomly oriented at rest, producing an isotropic index of refraction, and therefore no birefringence.
  • the sample is dark when placed between cross-polarized plates.
  • the elongated micelles align themselves with the flow field to create a structured liquid system. This structuring can be seen as birefringence, or the bright part of the sample near the stir bar at the bottom of the sample.
  • the oriented elongated micelles have produced a liquid with an anisotropic refractive index. In other words, the index of refraction changes with direction. Comparing FIG. 3C with FIG. 3D , as more of the sample is structuring under increased agitation, more of the sample is birefringent and bright.
