Stabilized herbicidal composition
View Patent ↗A stabilized herbicidal composition comprising fenoxaprop ester herbicide in combination with pyrasulfotole. The present disclosure also provides for a method of stabilizing herbicidal compositions.
1. A stabilized herbicidal composition, comprising:
0.5 to about 10 wt % fenoxaprop ester herbicide;
5 to about 40 wt % bromoxynil mixed ester;
pyrasulfotole; and
stabilizer selected from the group consisting of triethanolamine, triethylamine, triisopropanolamine, and combinations thereof.
2. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the fenoxaprop ester herbicide comprises fenoxaprop-p ethyl.
3. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the bromoxynil mixed ester comprises bromoxynil octanoate.
4. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the bromoxynil mixed ester comprises bromoxynil heptanoate.
5. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the bromoxynil mixed ester comprises a combination of bromoxynil octanoate and bromoxynil heptanoate.
6. The herbicidal composition of claim 5 , wherein the fenoxaprop ester herbicide comprises fenoxaprop-p ethyl and wherein the herbicidal compounds are present in the ranges of about:
0.5 to about 10 wt % fenoxaprop-p ethyl,
5 to about 40 wt % bromoxynil mixed ester, and
0.01 to about 5 wt % triethanolamine.
7. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer comprises triethanolamine.
8. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer comprises triethylamine.
9. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer comprises triisopropanolamine.
10. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , wherein the herbicidal composition is formulated as one selected from the group consisting of a liquid composition, emulsifiable concentrate, suspoemulsion, suspension concentrate, and an aqueous solution.
11. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one safener.
12. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one surfactant.
13. A method of controlling weeds in crops, comprising: applying the herbicidal composition of claim 1 to crops.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the crops are cereal crops.
15. A method of controlling grassy weeds in crops, comprising: applying the herbicidal composition of claim 1 to crops and/or grassy weeds growing in crops.
16. A method of improving the stability of an herbicidal composition, comprising: combining
a) a fenoxaprop ester herbicide;
b) pyrasulfotole;
c) bromoxynil mixed ester; and
d) at least one stabilizer selected from the group consisting of triethanolamine, triethylamine, triisopropanolamine, and combinations thereof,
wherein after said combining, the fenoxaprop ester herbicide is present in the herbicidal composition in an amount of 0.5 to 10 wt %,
and the bromoxynil mixed ester is present in the herbicidal composition in an amount of 5 to about 40 wt %.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the fenoxaprop ester herbicide is fenoxaprop-p ethyl.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the bromoxynil mixed ester comprises a combination of bromoxynil octanoate and bromoxynil heptanoate.
19. The method of claim 16 , wherein the stabilizer comprises triethanolamine.
20. The method of claim 16 , wherein after said combining, the stabilizer is present in the herbicidal composition in an amount of 0.01 to about 5 wt %.
