SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a herbicidal suspension concentrate characterized by comprising from 0.5 to 20 parts by weight of at least one compound selected from among sulfonamide compounds represented by the general formula (I): ##STR2## (wherein X is a hydrogen atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, a methyl group, or a difluoromethyl group) and their salts as an active ingredient, from 55 to 94.5 parts by weight of a vegetable oil, and from 5 to 25 parts by weight of a surfactant.
The suspension concentrate of the present invention, when applied to a corn field, provides improved weeding effect against harmful weeds in general, and against gramineous weeds in particular, without any phytotoxicity against corns. As a result of this improvement, the spectra of the harmful weeds to be controlled are spread, and further the amount of the active ingredient compound to be used can be decreased.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
As was mentioned previously, the sulfonamide compounds of the present invention, represented by the general formula (I), and their salts are already known as herbicides for application to corn fields. In practical use of these compounds, however, it is still required to decrease the amount of the active ingredient compound to be used in view of the reduction of expenditure for weeding and the reduction of environmental contamination. While it is also required to control as perfectly as possible a variety of weeds differing in growth stage without any crop injury to corns.
The authors of the present invention have found that use of a vegetable oil in the preparation of a suspension concentrate wherein the sulfonamide compound, represented by the general formula (I), or its salt is blended with the vegetable oil and a specific surfactant at a specific weight ratio can satisfy the requirements mentioned above when an aqueous diluted suspension prepared from the suspension concentrate is applied to a corn field. Namely they have found that use of the vegetable oil improves the weeding effect against broad spectra of the harmful weeds to be controlled without any phytotoxicity against corns and can decrease the amount of the active ingredient compound to be used, and that consequently reduction of environmental pollution can be expected.
Examples of sulfonamide compounds which are represented by the general formula (I), and which therefore can be used in the present invention, include N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide, N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-6-chloro-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide, N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-6-bromo-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide, N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-6-methyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide, and N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-6-difluoromethyl-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridine-sulfonamide.
Further, salts of the above-mentioned sulfonamide compound include those of alkali metals such as sodium and potassium, those of alkali earth metals such as magnesium and calcium, and those of amines such as monomethylamine, dimethylamine and triethylamine, specific examples of which include sodium and monomethylamine salts of N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide, and dimethylamine salt of N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-6-methyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide.
Among the above-mentioned sulfonamide compounds, N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-3-dimethylaminocarbonyl-2-pyridinesulfonamide and its salts are exemplified as preferred compounds.
Examples of vegetable oils which can be used in the present invention include olive oil, kapok oil, castor oil, palm oil, camellia oil, coconut oil, sesame oil, corn oil, rice bran oil, peanut oil, cotton seed oil, soybean oil, rape seed oil, linseed oil, and tung oil. Among these vegetable oils, corn oil is particularly preferred.
In the present invention, any surfactant may be used as long as it can emulsify the above-mentioned vegetable oils in water.
Examples of such surfactants include those of vegetable oil derivatives such as polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil ether; nonionic surfactants such as polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ethers, polyoxyethylene (propylene)fatty acid esters, sorbitan monooleate, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate; and anionic surfactants such as sodium alkylarylsulfonates, sodium dialkylsuccinate sodium dialkylsulfosuccinates, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ether sulfates, polyoxyethylene alkyl phosphates, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl phosphates, and sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonates.
Particularly, a mixture of a surfactant of vegetable oil derivatives, a nonionic surfactant and an anionic surfactant is preferably used.
The suspension concentrate of the present invention is prepared, for example, according to the following procedure.
At least one compound selected from among the sulfonamide compounds represented by the aforementioned general formula (I) and their salts as an active ingredient compound(s) is uniformly mixed with a vegetable oil and a surfactant and the resulting mixture is ground in order to obtain a suspension concentrate. Alternatively, such an active ingredient compound(s) preliminarily ground is merely mixed with a vegetable oil and a surfactant to obtain a suspension concentrate.
When consideration is given to the suspension stability of the active ingredient compound(s) in the suspension concentrate, a thixotropic material(s) such as a bentonite-alkylamine complex(es) and/or aerosil may be added in an amount of, for example, 1 to 3 weight % based on the total concentrate if necessary.
The suitable blending weight ratio of the above-mentioned active ingredient compound(s), the vegetable oil and the surfactant, which are the main components composing the suspension concentrate of the present invention, is in the ranges of from 0.5 to 20:from 55 to 94.5:from 5 to 25 respectively, and preferably from 2 to 6:from 77 to 90:from 8 to 17 respectively.
The suitable amount of the suspension concentrate of the present invention to be used, cannot be generically specified because it varies depending on various conditions. In general, however, it is in the range of from 0.05 to 50 g/a, preferably from 0.1 to 25 g/a, and more preferably from 0.1 to 2.5 g/a, in terms of the amount of the active ingredient compound.
In order to illustrate the present invention in more detail, description will now be made of Formulation Examples wherein the herbicidal suspension concentrates of the present invention were prepared and Test Examples wherein some of the prepared suspension concentrates were used, both of which, however, should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.
