Definitions
- This invention relates to a novel watersoluble powdered glyphosate formulation.
- Glyphosate (N-phosphonomethylglycine) is well- known in the art as an effective herbicide. It is known in the art that glyphosate, which is an organic acid, is rela ⁇ tively insoluble in water. Therefore, glyphosate is normally formulaed and applied as a water-soluble salt, especially as the isopropylamine salt.
- glyphosate is normally formulaed and applied as a water-soluble salt, especially as the isopropylamine salt.
- Various formulations of glyphosate are disclosed in U.S. Patents 4,405,531, 3977,860 and 3,853,530.
- Roundup ⁇ Herbicide is the widely used commercial form of glyphosate and comprises the isopropylamine salt of glyphosate, surfactant(s) , other adjuvants and water. Roundup® Herbicide is sold as a water-soluble concentrate.
- the present invention relates to a herbicidal water ⁇ soluble dry-particulate glyphosate formulation comprising the sodium salt of glyphosate and a surface active agent having the following formula:
- R, and R ⁇ are independently methyl or ethyl;
- R 3 is methyl, ethyl, benzyl or C 1Q to C _ alkyl;
- R. is Cm r , to C- o alkyl and
- X is chloro or bromo.
- the water soluble powder formulation of the present invention has an efficacy substantially equivalent to Roundup® Herbicide ' .
- the powdered formulation will enable substantial savings in transportation and storage costs. A more thorough disclosure of the present invention is presented in the detail ⁇ ed description which follows.
- the present invention relates to a herbicidal, water soluble dry-particulate glyphosate formulation compris ⁇ ing the sodium salt of glyphosate and a surface-active agent having the following formula:
- R 2 NR 3 (X) R tripod wherein R, and R ⁇ are independently methyl or ethyl; R 3 is methyl, ethyl, benzyl or C . to C g alkyl, R 4 is C- Q to C.g alkyl and C is chloro or bromo.
- the water-soluble dry-particulate glyphosate formu ⁇ lation of the present invention has herbicidal efficacy which is substantially equivalent to the commercial glyphosate • formulation Roundup. Further; the formulation of the present invention is comparably efficacious at smaller surfactant to glyphosate rations than sodium glyphosate formulations com ⁇ prising the same surfactant(s) as' used in Roundup Herbicide. This indicates that the surfactants of the present invention are more efficient in maintaining the sodium salt of glypho- • sate in contact with the surface of the. plant to facilitate penetration of the glyphosate into the plant than is the surf ⁇ actant(s) used in Roundupr Herbicide.
- Glyphosate is well-known to those skilled in the art.
- Several processes for the preparation of glyphosate are disclosed in the patent and chemical literature, e.g., U.S. Patents 3,977,860 and 4,486,358.
- the * powdered sodium salt of glyphosate (mono, di, sesqui) can be prepared by a variety of processes.
- the sodium salt of glyphosate can be prepared in accordance with the procedure set forth in U.S. Patent 4,140,513.
- glyphosate can be mixed with an alkali base such as sodium hydroxide and the solution spray- dried to form the powdered sodium salt of gylphosate.
- the mono-sodium salt can be prepared by adding a solid alkali metal base with agitation to an aqueous slurry of N-phosphonomethylglycine containing at least 50% solids.
- Surfactants useful in the formulation of the present invention are commercially available from a number of manufacturers. Suitable surfactants are •described in McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers, North American Edition 1980 Annual and in McCutcheon's Detergent and Emulsifiers International Edition 1982. Suitable surfactants which are useful in the formulation of the present invention are alkyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride, alkyl-benzyl-dimethyl ammonium chloride and dialkyl dimethyl ammonium chloride. The preferred alkyl-trimethyl ammonium chloride surfactant is cetyl- trimethyl ammonium chloride. Preferred cetyl-trimethyl.
- ammonium chlorides are Emulgin IB-25, Drewfax 277, Dehyquat A and Dodigin 226. It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that other surfactants within the scope of the present invention will also be useful.
- the formulations of the present invention are comprised of a dry, free-flowing particulate solid with varying particle sizes from powder to granules. Formulations of the present invention comprise the following ingredients:
- the sodium sailt of glyphosate useful in the formulation of the present invention will suitably have a water content of less than 3% by weight.
- the formulations of the present invention may also be admixed with other additives such as urea, ammonium sulfate, silica, thickening agents, anti-foam agents such as silicones, water-repellants, humectants, chelating agents, dyes, dispersing agents, and other powdered active " ingredients such as herbicides and fungicides or the like.
- additives such as urea, ammonium sulfate, silica, thickening agents, anti-foam agents such as silicones, water-repellants, humectants, chelating agents, dyes, dispersing agents, and other powdered active " ingredients such as herbicides and fungicides or the like.
- formulations of the present invention can be readily diluted in water by the farmer in a spray tank prior to use. Suitable application rates of active ingredients will vary depending on plant species, but generally 90 to 360 grams per hectare on an acid equivalent basis will be suitable.
