Herbicides

Abstract: A herbicide comprising the sulfonylurea derivatives of the formula (I): wherein Q is -CH=CH- or -S-, R is C₁₋₃ alkyl, and X is -OCH₃ or -CH₃; or a salt thereof, are useful for the control of undesired vegetation, for example, black glass ( Alopecurus myosuroides ) or downy brome ( Bromus tectorum L.) in the presence of many valuable small grain cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye. The herbicide is also unexpectedly tolerant to small grain cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye.

Description: FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the use of a herbicide in combination with a surfactant for controlling weeds in farming of small grain cereals and more specifically for selectively controlling actions in the presence of many valuable small grain cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye. The herbicide containing the compound used in the present invention is useful for the control of undesired vegetation, for example, graminaceous weeds (especially black grass ( Alopecurus myosuroides ) or downy brome ( Bromus tectorum L.)). The sulfonylurea derivative used in the present invention is especially active as herbicide for controlling undesired weeds in the presence of many valuable small grain cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye while being unexpectedly tolerant to small grain cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Various synthetic sulfonylurea compounds having herbicidal actions have been reported in Japanese Patent Application Laid Open Nos. 162587/1983 and 45572/1985, and European Patent Application Laid Open Nos. 96003, 152286 and 238,070. Several compounds are commercially available as herbicides for cereal areas (Glean™, Ally™, Harmony™, Amber™, etc.). Although such sulfonylurea compounds exert potent herbicidal actions on broadleaf weeds in an extremely low concentration, they are still unsatisfactory in practical use because of drawbacks including either no or only weak herbicidal activity against graminaceous weeds in wheat fields under a selective use. Therefore, it has been desired to develop a herbicide having a satisfying herbicidal activity against graminaceous weeds and no adverse effect such as damage of small grain cereals from the herbicide. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to the use of the compound N-(2-ethylsulfonylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-ylsulfonyl)-N'-(4,6-dimethoxy-2-pyrimidinyl)urea of the formula or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof in combination with a surfactant in an amount of from 1 to 25 % by weight, as a herbicide against graminaceous weeds in a field of small grain cereals. Further, the present invention relates to a method for controlling an undesired graminaceous weed in a field of small grain cereals with the composition of claim 1 comprising (i) mixing the composition into the field or soil of the field prior to sowing, (ii) treating the field or soil of the field with the composition prior to sprouting of the small grain cereals, and/or (iii) sprinkling the composition over stems and leaves of small grain cereals in the field. The compound has an acidic group The compound can form a salt with an inorganic or organic base. Examples of the agriculturally acceptable salts of the compound include salts with inorganic bases such as alkali metal (e.g. sodium, potassium, etc.), alkali earth metal (e.g. magnesium, calcium, etc.) and ammonia as well as organic bases such as dimethylamine, triethylamine, pyrrolidine, piperidine, piperazine, morpholine, benzylamine, ethanolamine and diethanolamine. The compound or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof can be employed as herbicides in any application form suitable for conventional agricultural chemicals. For this purpose, a herbicidal composition comprising an effective amount of the compound or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof and an agriculturally acceptable vehicle can be prepared by admixing the compounds or salts thereof with the vehicle including a solid carrier, liquid medium, etc. For example, the compound and an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof can be dissolved or dispersed in a suitable agriculturally acceptable liquid or solid vehicle, or admixed with or adsorbed on a suitable agriculturally acceptable vehicle, for example, a solid carrier, according to purposes of use, to form a suitable formulation or preparation such as an emulsifiable concentrate, oil, water soluble solid, hydrate, wettable powder, dust, DL dust (drift-less dust), suspension concentrate, microgranule, microgranule F, granule, for example, water-dispersible granule, tablet, liquid, spray or aerosol. Among these, wettable powder, emulsifiable concentrate, flowable dust and granule are preferable. Wettable powder and emulsifiable concentrate are more preferable. These formulations can be prepared by any conventional method known per se . For example, they may contain, if necessary, an emulsifier, suspending agent, spreader, penetrant, wetting agent, thickener, mucilage, stabilizer, etc. Suitable examples of the liquid vehicle or carrier (solvent) include water, alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, etc.), ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.), ethers (e.g. dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, etc.), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. kerosene, lamp oil, fuel oil, machine oil, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha, methylnaphthalene, etc.), halogenated hydrocarbons (e.g. dicholoromethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, etc.), acid amides (e.g. dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, etc.), esters (e.g. ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, fatty acid glycerol ester, etc.), and nitriles (e.g. acetonitrile, propionitrile, etc.). These solvents may be used individually or in a suitable mixed form of two or more ingredients in a suitable ratio. Examples of the solid carrier (diluent/extender) include vegetable powders (e.g. soybean meal, tobacco powder, wheat flour, sawdust, etc.), mineral powders (e.g. clays such as kaolin, bentonite, terra alba, talcs such as talcum powder and agalmatolite powder, and silicas such as diatomaceous earth and mica powder), alumina, sulfur powder, and active carbon. These solid carriers may be used individually or in a suitable mixed form of two or more ingredients in a suitable ratio. The above-mentioned liquid or solid vehicles (or carriers) can be used independently in combination. An amount of the vehicle is in the range of up to 100 wt% to the whole composition. The surfactants which can be employed as said emulsifier, spreading agent, penetrating agent or dispersing agent include various soaps and nonionic or anionic surface active agents such as polyoxyethylene alkyl aryl ethers [e.g. Noigen™ and E · A 142™, Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku K.K.], polyoxyethylene allyl phenyl ether formaldehyde condensates [e.g. Newcalgen E-300™], polyoxyethylene phenyl phenol ether sulfates [e.g. Agrizol FL-2017™], special polyhydric polymers [e.g. Agrizol FL-104FA™], polyoxyethylene aryl ethers [e.g. Nonal™, Toho Kagaku K.K.], alkyl sulfates [e.g. Emal 10™ and Emal 40™, Kao K.K.], alkyl sulfonates [e.g. Neogen™ and Neogen T™, Dai-ichi Kogyo Seiyaku K.K.; Neopellex, Kao K.K.], polyoxyethylene glycol ethers [e.g. Nonipol 85™, Nonipol 100™ and Nonipol 160™, Sanyo Kasei K.K.], and polyhydric alcohol esters [e.g. Tween 20™ and Tween 80™, Kao K.K.]. The amount of the surfactant is in the range of 1 to 25 wt% to the whole composition. The proportion of the active constituents in a herbicidal composition can vary according to intended uses. For example, an appropriate range is about 1 to 90 wt% in the case of an emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, suspension concentrate and water-dispersible granule, about 0.01 to 10 wt% in the case of oil, dust and DL dust, about 0.05 to 10 wt% in the case of microgranule, microgranule F, etc. The concentration of active ingredients may be changed according to intended uses. The emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder and flowable dust are sprinkled after diluted or extended with water or the like (e.g. 100 to 100,000-fold). The exact rate to be applied is dependent not only on a specific active ingredient being applied, but also on a particular action desired (e.g. general or selective control), the season, place and method of application, the cereal species, the plant species to be modified and the stage of growth thereof as well as the part of the plant to be contacted with the active ingredient. Preferably, the herbicide of the invention is employed, in general, in such a manner that the proportion of active ingredient (compound and/or salt thereof) is in the range of 0.05 to 20 g, more preferably 0.1 to 5 g, per are. The active ingredients of the present invention and herbicidal compositions containing the same are preferably applied to target plants by mixing into soils or fields prior to sowing, treating soils or fields before sprouting, sprinkling over stems and leaves of cereals directly, etc. in cereal areas. The compound and/or salt thereof can be used, as the case may be, in combination with other herbicides, plant growth regulators, fungicides (e.g. organochlorine fungicides, organosulfur fungicides, azole fungicides, antibiotics, etc.), pesticides (e.g. pyrethroid insecticides, organophosphorus insecticides, carbamate insecticides, etc.), acaricides, miticides, nematocides, plant hormones, synergists, attractants, repellents, pigments, fertilizers and manures. As mentioned hereinbefore, a method for controlling an undesired weed in an upland field, comprising application of a herbicidally effective amount of the compound or the agriculturally acceptable salt thereof to the field, is provided. The upland field is specially for small grain cereals such as wheat, barley, oats and rye, more specially for wheat. The undesired weed is of the same meaning as mentioned before. The amount of the compound or the agriculturally acceptable salt thereof is also the same as mentioned before. The compound and its salts of the present invention can be prepared by known methods per se , for example, Processes described below according to European Patent Application Laid Open No. 238,070 (Japanese Patent Laid Open No. 38091/1989). wherein Q is -CH=CH, R is -CH 2 CH 3 and X is -OCH 3 .

The compound [IV] or salt thereof is also reacted with the compound [V] or salt thereof in the same solvent as mentioned above. The compounds [II], [IV] and their salts can be prepared by methods according to Japanese Patent Laid Open No. 316379/1989. wherein each group has the same meaning as defined above. In the above Processes, the intermediates [VII], [VIII], [IX], [II], or salt thereof may be employed for the subsequent reaction without isolation or purification. The starting compound [VI] and their salts can be prepared either by or according to the method as described in European Patent Application Laid Open No. 238,070 (Japanese Patent Laid Open No. 38091/1989). wherein each group has the same meaning as defined above.
