Agrochemical formulations
View Patent ↗The invention relates to liquid formulations (preparations) that contain a) one or more alkyl esters of polycarboxylic acids, and b) one or more agrochemical substances from the group of ALS inhibitors.
1. A liquid formulation, comprising
a) one or more compounds from the group of the alkyl esters of polycarboxylic acids of the formula (I)
R γ —O—OC—(CR α R β ) x —CO—O—R δ (I)
in which
R α and R β are identical or different and are H, an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 20 hydrocarbon radical, or a group (CR′R″) y —CO—OR′″, in which R′ and R″ are identical or different and are H or an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 20 -hydrocarbon radical, y is an integer from 0 to 10 and R′″ is an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 20 -hydrocarbon radical,
R γ and R δ are identical or different and are an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 20 hydrocarbon radical, and
x is an integer from 0 to 20; and
b) one or more agrochemically active compounds selected from the group consisting of iodosulfuron-methyl and salts thereof, at least one being present in dissolved form.
2. The liquid formulation as claimed in claim 1 , which comprises, as component b), said one or more agrochemically active compounds selected from the group consisting of iodosulfuron-methyl, and salts thereof, at least one being present in dissolved form in combination with one or more agrochemicals which are not ALS inhibitors.
3. The liquid formulation as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising
one or more additional components selected from the group consisting of
(c) surfactants and/or non-surfactant polymers,
(d) organic solvents different from component a),
(e) agrochemicals different from ALS inhibitors,
(f) customary formulation auxiliaries,
(g) tank mix components, and
(h) water.
4. The liquid formulation as claimed in claim 1 , comprising
(a) from 0.1 to 80% by weight of said one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of the alkyl esters of polycarboxylic acids of the formula (I),
(b) from 0,001 to 50% by weight of said one or more agrochemically active compounds selected from the group consisting of iodosulfuron-methyl and salts thereof, at least one being present in dissolved form,
(c) from 0 to 60% by weight of surfactants and/or non-surfactant polymers,
(d) from 0 to 90% by weight of organic solvents different from component a),
(e) from 0 to 50% by weight of agrochemicals different from ALS inhibitors,
(f) from 0 to 20% by weight of customary formulation auxiliaries and
(g) from 0 to 50% by weight of water.
5. The liquid formulation as claimed in claim 1 , comprising
(a) from 10 to 60% by weight of said one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of the alkyl esters of polycarboxylic acids of the formula (I),
(b) from 1 to 15% by weight of said one or more agrochemically active compounds selected from the group consisting of iodosulfuron-methyl and salts thereof, at least one being present in dissolved form,
(c) from 0 to 50% by weight of surfactants and/or non-surfactant polymers,
(d) from 0 to 30% by weight of organic solvents different from component a),
(e) from 0 to 50% by weight of agrochemicals different from ALS inhibitors and
(f) from 0 to 10% by weight of customary formulation auxiliaries.
6. The liquid formulation as claimed in claim 1 in the form of a solution, a dispersion or an emulsion concentrate.
7. The liquid formulation of claim 1 , wherein R′ and R″ are identical or different and are H or an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 10 -alkyl radical.
8. The liquid formulation of claim 1 , wherein R′″ is an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 10 alkyl radical.
9. The liquid formulation of claim 1 , wherein R γ and R δ are identical or different and are an unsubstituted or substituted C 1 -C 10 alkyl radical.
