Description
AN AGROCHEMCIAL COMPOSITION, A METHOD OF PREPARING THE SAMEAND THE USE THEREOF
The present invention relates to an agrochemical composition. The presentinvention further relates to a method of preparing the aforementioned composition andits use in crop protection. The present invention is also related to the reduction ofeye irritation caused by the agrochemical composition, in particular a liquidconcentrate formulation of the composition.
Emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations are a very popular formulation typefor the preparation and use of compositions comprising agrochemically activecomponents. However, such formulations require substantial quantities of organicsolvents, such as aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and the like,together with anionic and non-ionic emulsifiers to stabilize the active ingredients in theformulations. With this combination of components, the formulated products are of agood quality and generally perform well in field applications. However, most of theproducts formulated in this manner cause severe eye irritation to users. As a result,such formulations are often classed as being hazardous. For example, emulsifiableconcentrates are classified as Toxicity Category I (Cat I) in Brazil. Knowing thatformulations labeled with “Toxicity Category I” may cause eye irritation, farmers andother end users are reluctant to purchase and use such products.
The prior art does not offer a solution for the problems of using solvents andemulsifiers in emulsion concentrate (EC) formulations. At present, commercialemulsion concentrate formulations cause severe eye irritation. As a result, attemptshave been made to avoid the use organic solvents such as aromatic or chlorinatedhydrocarbons, and instead use alternative solvents having reduced toxic effects.Examples of such alternative solvents are aliphatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, glycols,polyglycols, glycol ethers, ketones, as well as polar solvents with a high solvent power,such as gamma-butyrolactone, N-methyl pyrrolidone, and the like.
However, eye irritation is caused not only by the solvents, but can also becaused by active ingredients and emulsifiers present in the formulation. Theemulsifiers, for example anionic emulsifiers, are important to increase spontaneousdispersibility of the formulation in water and stability of the diluted formulation.Calcium alkylbenzene sulfonate is one type of anionic emulsifier frequently used inemulsion concentrate formulations. However, these kind of anionic emulsifierscause severe eye irritation. Consequently, even if the composition is formulated withsolvents that are non-irritant to the eyes, the formulation may still cause severe eyeirritation because of the presence of active ingredients and emulsifiers. WO 02/045507 describes a microemulsifiable concentrate comprising ahydrophobic active ingredient and at least one surfactant dissolved in a solventsystem comprising a hydrophobic water-insoluble alkyl alkanolate, as a first solvent,and a polyhydric alcohol or a condensate of polyhydric alcohols and mixtures thereof,as a second solvent. The formulations are reported to exhibit reduced eye irritation. WO 2006/002984 discloses a liquid concentrate composition comprising awater-insoluble active ingredient, at least one organic solvent having a water solubilityof at least 10 g/L, and at least one non-ionic block copolymer comprising at least onepolyethylene oxide moiety and at least one hydrophobic polyether moiety. Theorganic solvent is capable of dissolving the active ingredient. The problem of eyeirritation is not discussed or otherwise addressed in WO 2006/002984.
There is an ongoing need to find safe, preferably substantially inert,components for formulating liquid concentrates, with a view to providing a formulationwhich will not irritate the eyes. It would be advantageous if the formulationcomponents could also reduce the irritancy of the active ingredients and emulsifiers tothe eyes of users.
It has now been surprisingly found that certain dipropylene/diethylene glycoldibenzoates are not only non-irritant to the eyes, but also reduce the eye irritationcaused by the active ingredients and emulsifiers present in the formulation.
Accordingly, in a first aspect, the present invention provides an emulsifiableconcentrate (EC) agrochemical composition comprising at least onedipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate, at least one active ingredient and at leastone emulsifier, wherein the active ingredient comprises a compound selected frompyripoxyfen, clomazone, a pyrethroid ester, a cyclohexime oxime, abenzoylphenylurea chitin synthesis inhibitor, and an avermectin.
Dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoates are themselves not irritants. It hasbeen found that the presence of the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate in theagrochemical composition significantly reduces the toxicity of the formulation, inparticular reducing the irritancy of the formulation to the eyes. In particular, itappears that the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate reduces or substantiallynegates the irritancy of the active ingredients and emulsifiers to the eyes.
As described in more detail below, it has been found thatdipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is effective in reducing the irritancy of liquidconcentrate formuilations. Thus, the inclusion of dipropylene/diethylene glycoldibenzoate in liquid concentrates reduces the eye irritancy of the formulation. Inaddition, it has been found that the use of dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate inliquid concentrate pesticidal formulations is environmentally friendly.
The dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is present in the composition ofthe present invention in an amount sufficient to reduce the irritancy of the othercomponents in the composition, in particular the eye irritation of the active ingredientsand emulsifiers present. The amount of dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoaterequired will be determined by the particular active ingredients and emulsifiersemployed in the composition and their amounts. The amount of thedipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate required to reduce or eliminate the irritancy to the eyes of the formulation may be determined without undue experimentation bythe skilled person, for example by trial and error.
The dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is effective to reduce the eyeirritancy of the active ingredient when present in a wide range of weight ratios to theactive ingredient. The dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is preferably presentin an amount at least equal to or, more preferably in excess of the amount of theactive ingredient. The weight ratio of the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate tothe active ingredient is preferably at least 1:1, in some preferred embodiments at least1:2, in other preferred embodiments at least 1:3. In particular, thedipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is preferably present in an amount toprovide a weight ratio of the active ingredient to the dipropylene/diethylene glycoldibenzoate from 1:1 to 1:100, preferably from 1:1 to 1:90, more preferably from 1:2 to1:20, still more preferably from 1:3 to 1:15.
The dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is effective in reducing the eyeirritancy of emulsifiers in a wide range of weight ratios. In many embodiments, thedipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is present in the composition in an amountat least equal to, more preferably in excess, of the total amount of the emulsifierpresent. The weight ratio of the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate to the totalemulsifier content of the composition is preferably at least 0.1, more preferably atleast 0.2. The weight ratio of the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate to thetotal emulsifier content of the composition may be from 0.1 to 60, preferably from 0.2to 60. In a number of embodiments, a weight ratio of from 0.3 to 10, moreparticularly from 0.4 to 8 has been found to be effective. Higher amounts of thedipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate may be employed, for example in weightratios to the emulsifier content of from 10 to 50. In many embodiments, a weightratio of dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate to the emulsifier content of less than15, more preferably less than 10 is effective.
The dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate may be present in thecomposition in an amount of at least 2% by weight, preferably from 10% by weight,more preferably from 20% by weight. In preferred embodiments, thedipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoate is present in the composition in an amount of from 2 to 90% by weight, preferably from 10 to 80% be weight, more preferablyfrom 20 to 70% by weight of the composition.
The composition may comprise dipropylene glycol dibenzoate, diethyleneglycol dibenzoate or a combination of dipropylene glycol dibenzoate and diethyleneglycol dibenzoate.
As mentioned above, the present invention provides an agrochemicalcomposition comprising at least one agrochemically active ingredient. It has beenfound that the presence of one or more dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoates iseffective in reducing the irritancy of a range of active ingredients. Suitable activeingredients for use in the composition of the present invention are well known in theart and are commercially available.
As noted above, the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoates have beenfound to be effective in reducing the toxicity, in particular the irritancy to eyes, of arange of active ingredients. In one embodiment, the composition of the presentinvention comprises, as an active ingredient clomazone (2-(2-chlorobenzyl)-4,4-dimethyl-1,2-oxazolidin-3-one).
It has also been found that the dipropylene/diethylene glycol dibenzoates areeffective in reducing the toxicity, in particular the irritancy to eyes, of pyrethroid esteracaricides and insecticides. Such pyrethroids are known in the art and include, forexample, cyhalothrin ((/TS)-a-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (2)-(1 RS,3RS)-3-(2-ch\oro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1 -enyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate), cypermethrin ((RS)-a-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1 i?S,3i?S;1 i?S,3Si?)-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate), deltamethrin ((S)-a-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl ()R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate), lambda-cyhalothrin ((S)-a-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (2)-(1 R,3F?)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1 -enyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and (/7)-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl(2)-(1 S, 3S)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate). A particularly suitable pyrethroid is bifenthrin.
In one embodiment, the composition of the present invention comprises, as anactive ingredient pyriproxyfen (4-phenoxyphenyl (HS)-2-(2-pyridyloxy)propyl ether).
