Formulations

Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of

(a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions: Weight Percent*

Active Ingredient Diluent. s . Surfactant(s)

Wettable Powders 20-90 0-74 1-10

Oil Suspensions, 3-50 40-95 0-15

Emulsions, Solutions,

(including Emulsifiable

High Strength 90-99 0-10 0-2 Compositions

* Active ingredient plus at least one of a Surfactant or a Diluent equals 100 weight percent.

Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are some- times desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, New Jersey, but other solids, either mined or manufac¬ tured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0°C. "McCutcheon*s Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, New Jersey, as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corrosion, micro- biological growth, etc.

The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or .

fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Patent 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering. December 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Enqineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pp. 8-57ff.

2,4-triazolo[l,5-a] yrimidine 80% sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonate 2% sodium ligninsulfonate 2% synthetic amorphous silica 3% kaolinite 13%

The ingredients are blended, hammer-milled until all the solids are essentially under 50 microns, re- blended, and packaged.

Example B

Wettable Powder

7-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-l, 2,4-triazolo[l,5-a]pyrimidine 50% sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonate 2% low viscosity methyl cellulose 2% diatomaceous earth 46%

The ingredients are blended, coarsely hammer- milled and then air-milled to produce particles essen¬ tially all below 10 microns in diameter. The product is reblended before packaging.

Example C Granule

Wettable Powder of Example 11 5% attapulgite granules" 95%

(U.S.S. 20-40 mesh; 0.84-0.42 mm) A slurry of wettable powder containing 25% solids is sprayed on the surface of attapulgite granules in a double-cone blender. The granules are dried and packaged.

(U.S.S. 20 to 40 sieve) The active ingredient is dissolved in the solvent and the solution is sprayed upon dedusted granules in a double-cone blender. After spraying of the solution has been completed, the blender is allowed to run for a short period and then the granules are packaged.

Example F Granule

7-(3-chlorophenyl)-5-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl)-l, 2, 4-triazolo [1, 5-a] pyrimidine 80%

wetting agent 1% crude ligninsulfonate salt (containing 10% 5-20% of the natural sugars) attapulgite clay 9%

The ingredients are blended and milled to pass through a 100 mesh screen. This material is then added to a fluid bed granulator, the air flow is adjusted to gently fluidize the material, and a fine spray of water is sprayed onto the fluidized material. The fluidiza- tion and spraying are continued until granules of the desired size range are made. The spraying is stopped, but fluidization is continued, optionally with heat, until the water content is reduced to the desired level, generally less than 1%. The material is then discharged, screened to the desired size range, generally 14-100 mesh (1410-149 microns), and packaged for use. Example G

The resulting thick suspension may be applied directly, but preferably after being extended with oils or emulsified in water.

Test results indicate that compounds of the present invention are highly active preemergent and/or postemergent herbicides or plant growth regulants. Many of the compounds have utility for pre- and/or postemergence broad-spectrum grass and broadleaf weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as around storage tanks, industrial storage areas, parking lots, drive-in theaters, around billboards, highways, and railroad structures, and in fallow crop areas. Some compounds have utility in crops such as barley (Hordeum spp.), corn (Zea spp.), cotton (Gossypium spp.), pea (Pisum spp.), peanut (Arachis spp.), rape (Brassica spp.), rice (Oryza spp.), sorghum (Sorghum spp.), soybean ( Glycine spp.), sugar beet (Beta spp.), sunflower (Helianthus spp.), triticale (Triticum-Secale spp.), and wheat (Triticum spp.). Some compounds are particularly useful for preemergence control of troublesome grass and selected small-seeded broadleaf weeds in barley, corn, cotton, rice, soybean, and wheat. In cereal crops such as barley, triticale, and wheat, some compounds are particularly useful for preemergence control of grass weeds such as blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides ) , foxtail (Setaria spp.), and wild oat (Aυena fatua) , and selected broadleaf weeds such as kochia (Kochia scoparia) , lambsquarters (Chenopodium album ) , and wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus) . In rice, some compounds are particularly useful for the control of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli ) . In cotton, some compounds are particularly useful for the control of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli ) , bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon ) , panicum (Panicum spp.), goosegrass

(Eleusine spp.), crabgrass (Digitaria spp.), and pigweed (Amaranthus spp. ) . In addition, many compounds of this invention are useful for the control of weeds in plantation crops such as banana, citrus crops, cocoa, coffee, palm, rubber, sugar cane, etc. Several of these compounds are also useful for weed control in fruit crops such as cranberries, apples, pears, cherries, etc. Several compounds of this invention are particularly useful for the control of troublesome grass weeds in sugar cane (Saccharum spp.). Alternatively, the subject compounds are useful to modify plant growth.

The rates of application for compounds of this invention are determined by a number of factors, including their use as plant growth modifiers or as herbicides, the crop species involved, the types .of weeds to be controlled, weather and climate, formulations selected, mode of application, amount of foliage present, etc. In general terms, the subject compounds should be applied at levels of around 0.004 to 20 kg/ha, the lower rates being suggested for use on lighter soils and/or those having a low organic matter content, for plant growth modification or for situations where only short-term persistence is required, such as a herbicide for fallow land. Preferred rates of application are from 0.025 to 2.0 kg/ha. One skilled in the art can easily determine the application rate needed for the desired level of weed control.

The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commercial herbicide, representative examples of which are those of the sulfonylurea, triazine, triazole, uracil, urea, amide, diphenyl ether, carbamate, imidazolinone, cineole and bipyridylium types.

At the same time, these crop and weed species were also treated with postemergence applications of test chemicals. Plants ranged in height from two to eighteen cm (two to three leaf stage) for postemergence treatments. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately sixteen days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. The ratings, summarized in Table A, are based on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is no effect and 10 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

TEST C

Plastic pots were partially filled with silt loam soil. The soil was then saturated with water. Japonica and Indica rice (Oryza sativa ) seedlings at the 2.0 to 2.5 leaf stage, seeds selected from barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli) , bulrush (Scirpus mucronatus) , duck salad (Heteranthera limosa ) , and umbrella sedge ( Cyperus difformis ) , and sprouted tubers of arrowhead (Sagittaria sp . ) and/or waterchestnut (Eleocharis spp.) were planted into this soil. Several days after planting, water levels were raised to 3 cm above the soil surface and maintained at this level throughout the test. Chemical treatments were formulated in a non-phytotoxic solvent and applied directly to the paddy water. Treated plants and controls were maintaine in a greenhouse for approximately 21 days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table C, are based on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is no effect and 10 is complete control.

TEST D

Seeds of spring and winter barley (Hordeum υulgare) , black nightshade (Solanum nigrum ) , blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides) , bluegrass (Poa annua) , catchweed bedstraw (Galium aparine) , cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus) , downy brome (Bromus tectorum ) , field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) , field violet (Viola arvensis) , green foxtail (Setaria viridis) , Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum ) , ivyleaf speedwell (Veronica hederaefolia) , jointed goatgrass (Aegilops cylindrica) , kochia (Kochia scoparia) , lambsquarters ( Chenopodium album ) , Persian speedwell (Veronica persica) , rape (Brassica napus) , Russian thistle (Salsola kali) , scentless chamomile (Matricaria inodora ) , sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) , spring and winter wheat (Triticum aestivum ) , wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus) , and wild oat (Avena fatua ) were planted and treated preemergence with test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. Postemergence applications of test chemicals were also applied to these same crop and weed species. Plants ranged in height from two to twenty-four cm (two to three leaf stage) for postemergence treatments. Blackgrass and wild oat were treated postemergence at two growth stages — the first stage being at two to three leaves and the second stage being approximately at four leaves or in the initial stages of tillering. Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately 21 days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. Rates of application of each compound are listed in

Table D. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table D, are based on a scale of 0 to 10 where 0 is no effect and 10 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

TEST G

Seeds of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli ) , cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum ) , corn (Zea mays ) , crabgrass (Digitaria spp.)/ fall panicum (Panicum dichotomiβorum. ) , giant foxtail (Setaria faberi ) , green foxtail (Setaria viridis ) , jimsonweed (Datura stramonium ) , johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense) , lambsquarters (Chenopodium album ) , morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea ) , redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroβexus) , smartweed (Polygonum persicaria) , sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) , soybean (Gly cine max) , and velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti) and purple nutsedge ( Cyperus rotundus ) tubers were planted and treated preemergence with test chemicals dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. Several of the test compounds were also applied postemergence to these crop and weed species . For postemergence applications, plants were from two to twenty-five cm tall.

The soil surface of an additional container of corn (Corn, Perlite) to be treated postemergence was covered with the absorbent, perlite, before postemergence treatments were applied. After application of test compounds, the perlite was removed from the soil surface to remove chemical sorbed onto the perlite. This procedure would therefore allow only that portion of chemical sorbed onto the plant foliage to cause corn injury response.

Treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for approximately 24 days, after which all species were compared to controls and visually evaluated. Test rates for each compound are listed

in Table G. The ratings, summarized in Table G, are based on a scale of 0 to 100 where 0 is no effect and 100 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.

TEST I

Seeds of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) , barley

(Hordeum vulgare) , bluegrass (Poa pratensis ) , corn (Zea mays ) , cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) , flax (Linum usitatissimum ) , oat (Avena sativa ) , pea (sativum ) , peanut (Arachis hypogaea) , rape (Brassica napus) , rice (Oryza sativa ) , sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) , soybean (Glycine max) , sugar beet (Beta vulgaris ) , sunflower (Helianthus annuus) , tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) , and wheat (Triticum aestivum) were planted and treated preemergence with a test chemical dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent. These crop species were also treated with postemergence applications of the test chemical. Plants ranged in height from four to twenty cm (two to three leaf stage) when post-emergence applications were applied. " Treated plants and controls were grown under greenhouse conditions for approximately twenty-four days, after which all plants treated with the test chemical were compared to untreated controls and visually evaluated for injury response. Application rates for the test chemical are shown in Table I. Plant response ratings, summarized in Table I, are from 0 to 100 where 0 is no injury and 100 is complete control. A dash (-) response means no test result.
