Description

The invention relates to plant protection products that can be used in crops of cultivated plants, and more particularly, to a herbicidal composition based on two herbicides from the class of ALS inhibitors and to a method for controlling weeds in crops of cultivated plants based on this herbicidal composition.

One of the means for weed control in crops of cultivated plants of maize and wheat is the active substance of floraasulam (I)

N- (2,6-difluorophenyl) -8-fluoro-5-methoxy [1,2,4] triazolo [1,5-c] pyrimidin-2-sulfone amide, known from the patents EP343752 and EP537611.

Industrial preparations of the Dau Agrosaenses company are known both on the basis of one florasulam in the form of a suspension concentrate - Boxer, CK (50 g / l florasulam), and a number of two-component preparations in the form of suspoemulsions containing fluroxypyr methylheptyl ether - GF- preparations 184, SE (100 g / l of fluroxypyr methylheptyl ester + 2.5 g / l of flurasulam), Hiker, SE (100 g / l of fluroxypyr methylheptyl ether + 1 g / l of florasulam), Starane XL, SE (144 g / l of methylheptyl fluroxypyr ester + 2.5 g / l florasulam) or 2-ethylhex l-ester of 2,4-D acid - Prima preparation, SE (300 g / l 2,4-D to-you + 6.25 g / l florasulam), as well as the preparation of CJSC Avgust Firm Ballerina, SE (410 g / l 2,4-D acid + 7.4 g / l florasulam). The preparations in the form of suspoemulsions Prima and Ballerina are registered in the "State catalog of pesticides and agrochemicals approved for use in the Russian Federation", Moscow, 2011.

Active ingredient tribenuron-methyl (II)

2 - [[[((4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) methylamino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] benzoic acid methyl ester is known from EP202830 and exhibits high activity against a wide spectrum weed plants. Tribenuron-methyl-based preparations are commercially in demand and are widely used in agriculture to protect crops. In the Russian Federation, in the “State catalog of pesticides and agrochemicals approved for use on the territory of the Russian Federation”, for 2011 DuPont products are registered on the basis of tribenuron-methyl - Granstar, STS (750 g / kg tribenuron-methyl) and in the form of a mixture with other sulfonylureas: Granstar Ultra preparations, VDG (500 g / kg tribenuron-methyl + 250 g / kg chlorosulfuron); Allay Light, VDG (391 g / kg metsulfuron-methyl + 261 g / kg tribenuron-methyl); Caliber, VDG (500 g / kg of tifensulfuron-methyl and 250 g / kg of tribenuron-methyl).

In the claims of the Bayer Crop Science patents, combinations of a number of ALS inhibitors from the sulfonylurea group with many other substances, including florasulam, are patented. For example, bicomponent patented combination based amidosulfuron patent - EP 1418812, mesosulfuron-methyl or iodsulfuron - patent RU2344601 and ternary combinations based amidosulfuron and iodsulfuron-methyl - Patent EA6816 or mesosulfuron-methyl and iodsulfuron - Patent EA6801.

The materials of the company Dau Agrosaenses (http://www.dowagro.com/uk/cereal/faq.htm) give a general recommendation that preparations based on florasulam in some cases can be used sequentially or in the form of a tank mixture with other drugs on based on ALS sulfonylurea inhibitors, including with tribenuron-methyl based drugs. The materials of ZAO Avgust Firm (http://www.firm-august.ru/product/?country=rf&drug_type=71&drug_id=2704&part=reglament) also give a general recommendation on the use of Ballerina, SE in a mixture with tribenuron-based drugs -methyl. DuPont Brief Communication No. 3, published in North Central Weed Science Society Proceedings v. 62, 2007 (http://www.ncwss.org/proceed/2007/Abstracts/003.pdf) also mentioned the possibility of joint application in the form of a tank mixture of different preparations based on 2,4-D ester of acid, florasulam and tribenuron-methyl.

In all of the above sources of information, there is no information about the finished formulation (herbicidal composition) based on a two-component mixture of florasulam and tribenuron-methyl or any direct indications of the advisability of creating such a formulation and its composition.

Keeping in mind the practical interest from combining the two active substances in one preparation, the aim of the present invention was to provide such a herbicidal composition. The problem was solved by the development of a herbicidal composition containing, as active substances, a combination of N- (2,6-difluorophenyl) -8-fluoro-5-methoxy [1,2,4] triazolo [1,5-c] pyrimidin-2- sulfonamide (florasulam) (I) or its salt and another sulfonylurea herbicide, wherein the other sulfonylurea herbicide is methyl ester 2 - [[[[((4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5 -triazin-2-yl) methylamino] carbonyl] amino] sulfonyl] benzoic acid (tribenuron-methyl) (II) or a salt thereof. Such a composition also contains a solid carrier or a liquid solvent and a surfactant. It was unexpectedly found that in the range of weight ratios of two substances in the range from 1: 5 to 5: 1, a synergistic effect is manifested, i.e. found the range of ratios of active substances, in which such a composition is synergistically effective.

The proposed herbicidal composition exhibits excellent herbicidal action against a wide range of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds, including perennial root shoots.

The action of the proposed herbicidal composition extends to such monocotyledonous weeds such as oats, oatmeal, foxtail, dewdrop, chaff, wheatgrass, blackberry, millet, bluegrass, bristle, including perennials such as porcupine, sorghum, humai, creeping wheatgrass, raw and others.

In dicotyledonous weeds, the effect extends to species such as shiritsa, gauze, bedstraws, morning glory, cochia, cassock, purple bindweed, highlander, sid, mustard, nightshade, asterisk, veronica, violet, gingerbread, creeper, mallow., Including perennials such as field bindweed, sow thistle yellow and sow thistle pink, sorrel, wormwood and others.

The herbicidal composition in accordance with the present invention can be applied immediately after sowing before plant emergence, however, post-emergence application at an early stage of development of weeds and cultivated plants is preferred. Herbicidal action occurs, as a rule, quickly:

there is a characteristic cessation of growth or dying off after a certain time. At the same time, cultivated plants remain intact.

Suitable for this combination of herbicides are, for example, such formulations as water-soluble and wettable powders, granules, including water-soluble and water-dispersible, and liquid formulations in the form of water-glycol and aqueous solutions.

Oxyethylated or propoxyethylated alkyl phenols, polyoxyethylated alcohols or amines, ethoxy-propoxy block copolymers, sulfates or phosphates of polyoxyethylated alcohols or their salts, ethoxylated tristyrylphenylated or propylene phosphates can be used as surfactants in the formulation. or their salts, alkyl sulfates or aryl sulfates or their salts, alkyl sulfonates or aryl sulfonates or their salts, lignosulfonates, conden alkylated naphthalenesulfonates, including compounds such as sodium 2,2-dinaphthylmethane-6,6-disulfonate, sodium dibutylnaphthalene sulfonate, polycarboxylate salts, sulfosuccinate derivatives.

Wettable powders are uniformly dispersible in water preparations, which, along with the active substances, contain a solid carrier (inert substance, for example kaolin, bentonite, alkaline or alkaline-earth metal carbonate, sodium sulfate, calcium stearate, trisodium phosphate, lactose or other natural sugars ) and a surfactant that acts as a wetting agent and / or dispersant.

Water-dispersible and water-soluble granules can be obtained by a variety of known granulation methods from a mixture consisting of a mixture of active substances with inert carriers (for example, noted above), surfactants listed above, if necessary adding antifoam and other auxiliary substances.

The herbicidal composition in the form of a wettable or water-soluble powder or water-soluble or water-dispersible granules has the following ratio of its constituent components in wt.%:

Florasulam or its salt (acid equivalent) 13-70 tribenuron-methyl or its salt (acid equivalent) 10-60 surfactant or mixture thereof 5-25 antifoam 0-0.2 carrier up to 100

Aqueous-glycolic and aqueous solutions are prepared from preformed amine salts or alkali metal salts of flurasulam and tribenuron-methyl, preferably in aqueous or aqueous-organic solutions.

The herbicidal composition in the form of an aqueous or water-glycol solution containing the constituent components in the following amounts in wt.%;

Florosulam salt (acid equivalent) 10-30 tribenuron-methyl salt (acid equivalent) 10-30 surfactant or mixture thereof 5-25 antifoam 0-0.2 triethylene glycol 0-15 water up to 100

Another object of the invention is a method for controlling weeds in crops of cultivated plants, which consists in applying the herbicidal composition based on florasulam and tribenuron-methyl in effective amounts to weeds to be destroyed or their habitat.

Biological tests

Example No. 7

Tests in the laboratory of artificial climate.

The initial assessment of the herbicidal activity of mixtures of florosulam with tribenuron-methyl in order to select the optimal ratio of substances was carried out in an artificial climate laboratory under the following camera operating conditions: day duration - 16 hours, night - 8 hours, illumination in the daytime - 15000 Lux, air temperature - 20 ° C, relative humidity - 75%, the duration of the experiment - 30 days.

As models of weeds, white gauze (Chenopodium album) and a common sod (Xanthium strumarium) were used.

Samples of the herbicidal test compositions were prepared by dissolving mixtures of florasulam and tribenuron-methyl in predetermined proportions in a neutral organic solvent with the addition of a nonionic surfactant and subsequent dilution with water to the desired concentration.

For the treatment of test plants, an experimental sprayer was used that was configured as close as possible to the production mode according to the following indicators: rate of flow of the working fluid, uniformity of its distribution on the treated area, degree of dispersion of the droplets.

Test plants were treated with a working fluid flow rate of 400 l / ha, the average droplet size of 180 ± 20 microns (see "Chemistry in Agriculture", 1985, No. 7).

Processing of test plants was carried out in a phase of 3-6 leaves, the repetition of experiments was 3-fold. Accounting was carried out 40 days after treatment in comparison with the control.

Synergism was calculated according to Colby's formula (see S.R. Colby, Weeds. "Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic response of herbicide combination", v.15, pp.20-22, 1967):

E = α + β- (αxβ): 100, where

α -% inhibition by component A;

β -% inhibition by component B;

E - expected (estimated) efficiency. The results are presented in table 3.

Example No. 8.

Field Tests

Tests of the herbicidal activity of preparations based on florasulam and tribenuron-methyl in the field were carried out on winter wheat crops.

Boxer, CK (50 g / l Florasulam), manufactured by Dow Agrosciences, and Granstar, CTC (750 g / kg tribenuron-methyl), manufactured by DuPont, were used as a reference.

The size of the plots is 0.75 ha, the number of replications is 3 for each option. The phase of development of corn plants at the time of processing is 5-6 true leaves. Vegetative plants were sprayed using a POM-63 sprayer. The flow rate of the working fluid is 300 l / ha. Accounting for weeds was carried out before treatment, 30 days after treatment.

The crops under study were littered with weeds such as wild oats, chicken millet, bristle peduncle, neglected mallow, one-year-old purse, overgrown beetle, white gauze, yellow sow thistle, pink thistle, walnut, mountaineer spotted, starlet, veronica, violet, confinement, field bindweed and others.

During spraying, weeds had from 4 to 6 true leaves, perennial leaves had a rosette of 8-12 cm in diameter.

All tested compounds have a wide spectrum of action on weeds and are not toxic to wheat in this growth phase. The average results of evaluating the sensitivity of various types of weeds to drugs are presented in table 4.
