Description

PHYTOTOXICITY REDUCTION METHODS
This invention relates to a method of reducing phytotoxicity of an agrochemical comprising mixing the agrochemical with a dialkylamide. Further embodiments of the present invention also include uses of a dialkylamide to reduce the phytotoxicity of an agrochemical.
Fledgling agrochemicals at various stages of development, which would otherwise hold out such promise in helping to feed the burgeoning global population, have their development dropped during research stages due to problems with phytotoxicity. In the process, millions of dollars of research is wasted and precious crop yield is lost.
Herbicide safeners are agents applied alongside herbicides to make them "safer" -i.e. to reduce the phytotoxic effect of the herbicide on crop plants, and to improve selectivity between crop plants and weed species which are ideally targeted by the herbicide. Herbicide safeners can be used to pretreat crop seeds before they are planted, or they can be sprayed on plants as a mixture with the herbicide.
However, safeners presently available are expensive to produce, and require sophisticated selection based upon the agrochemical they are to be combined with, and potentially may contribute to cases of crop tolerance.
Surprisingly, it has been found that by mixing the agrochemical with a dialkylamide, the phytotoxic effects of the agrochemical can be reduced.
Preferably, the dialkylamide is of formula (I) CH3CH(OH)C(=O)NR1R2 (I) where R' and R2 are each independently hydrogen; or C1-C6 alkyl, C2-C6 alkenyl or C3-C6 cycloalkyl, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from phenyl, hyciroxy, C-C5 alkoxy, morpholinyl and NR3R4 where R3 and R4 are each independently C1-C3 alkyl; or phenyl optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C 1-C3 alkyl; or R' and R2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a morpholinyl, pyrrolidinyl, piperidinyl or azepanyl ring, each of which is optionally substituted by up to three substituents independently selected from C1-C3 alky!.
Even more preferably, the compound of formula (I) R' is not hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, n amyl, iso amyl, iso-butylenyl, n-hexyl, 1 -3-dimethylbutyl, allyl, CH2CH2OH, 2 hydroxypropyl, 2-hydroxy-isobutyl, 1,3-dihydroxy-2-rnethyl-2-propyl, tris-hydroxy-methyl-methyl, CH2CH2OCH3, cyclohexyl, phenyl, benzyl, ct-methylbenzyl, 3-phenylethyl, 3-hydroxypropyl or 1-hydroxy-2-butyl when R2 is hydrogen; R1 is not methyl, ally! or phenyl when R2 is methyl; R1 is not ethyl when R2 is ethyl; R1 is not n-butyl when R2 is n-butyl; R' is not iso-butyl when R2 is iso-butyl; R' is not n-amy! when R2 is n-amyl; R1 is not iso-amy! when R2 is iso-amy!; R1 is not n-hexy! when R2 is n-hexy!; R1 is not ally! when R2 is al!yl; R1 is not butyl or pheny! when R2 is phenyl; R1 is not benzy! when R2 is benzyl; R1 is not CH2CH2OH or ethyl when R2 is CH2CH2OH; R' is not 2-hydroxypropyl when R2 is 2-hydroxypropyl; and R' and R2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached do not form a morpholinyl, pyrrolidiny! or piperidiny! unsubstituted ring.
More preferably the dialkylamide is dimethy! !actamide, diethy! !actamide, dipropyl lactamide, dibutyl lactamide, dipentyl lactamide or dihexy! lactamide.
Most preferably the dia!kylamide is dimethyl lactamide.
In one embodiment of the invention, the method includes the mixing of a dialkylamide and an agrochemical in the form of an emulsion concentrate (EC) or dispersion concentrate (DC).
EC formulations conventionally contain an active ingredient, one or more surfactants which act as emulsifiers upon dilution of the EC with water and a water immiscible solvent. Typical solvents for conventional EC formulations are aromatic hydrocarbons. These solvents have very low solubilities in water and a high capability of dissolving a wide range of active ingredients.
In a further embodiment, the method of the present invention may further comprise the addition of one or more active ingredients (AIs) to the dialkylarnide. Suitable AIs include, but are not limited to, herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fungicides, miticides and acaricides. The dialkylamide may also be combined with fertilizers, plant nutritionals, micronutrients, agrochemicals, paraffinic mineral oil, methylated seed oils (i.e. methylsoyate or methylcanolate), vegetable oils (such as soybean oil and canola oil), water conditioning agents such as Choice® (Loveland Industries, Greeley, CO) and Quest (Helena Chemical, Collierville, TN), modified clays such as Surround® (Englehard Corp.,), foam control agents, adjuvants, surfactants, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, deposition aids, antidrift components, and water.
