ABSTRACT
An aqueous suspension concentrate cornposi',ion comprising, on a weight basis about 5.0% to 50.0% pendimethalin havinr, an orange crystal to yellow crystal ratio of about 4/96 up to totally of orange crystal form; about 0.05% to 50.0%~ of one or more secondary pesticide(s) having a melting point grea,'r than 70 0 C and consisting of Isoproturon, [N,N-dimetiiyl-NW-methoxy-N.-methyI urea]; Metoxuron, [N'-(-chloro-4methoxyphenyl)-N,N-.dimethylureaj; Chloroluron, [N'-(3-chloro-4-methylphenyl)-N,N-dimethylureal; Atrazine, E2,chloro-4-ethylamino-6--isopropylamlno-l ,3,5-trlazine, terbutylazine, 2-tert-butylamino-4-chloro-6-ethylamino-i ,3,5-triazlne and metalochior, 2-chloro-6-ethyl-N-(2-methoxy-lmethyl ethyl )aceto-o-toluidlde; 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin- Ott2 2-yl)-3-quinolinecarboxyllc acid and water soluble salts thereof; and S theisomeric mixture of 6-(4-iopcopyl-4-methyl-5-oxo--2-imidazolin-2-yl)-mtoluate and 2-(4--isoproplyl-.4-methyl-.5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl~toluate; about 3.0% to 30.0% coformulants consisting of surfactants, dispersing agents, wetting agents, suspending agents, antifreezing agents, antifoctming agents, 0 t thickening agents or preservatives; and about 20,0% to 92.0% water.
R A TMR/998u 30338 .AQUEOUS SUSPENSION CONCENTRATE COMPOSITIONS OF ,H PENDIMETHALIN I BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Suspension concentrate or aqueous flowable pesticidal compositions are concentrated suspensions of water insoluble pesticides and mixtures of pesticides in aqueous systems. The present invention relates to stable such pendimethalin compositions.
Pendimethalin is a dinitroaniline that exists in polymorphic form, both in orange crystal form and yellow crystal form. U.S. Patents 4,082,537 and 4,150,969 address pendimethalin's unique formulation problems and provide ways to avoid formation and/or presence of the larger, orange crystal form (both incorporated herein by reference).
It is believed that the presence of pendimethalin in the orange macrocrystal form results in large elongated crystals in final formulations.
In order to formulate stable wettable powder compositions of pendimethalin, these two patents disclose utilizing a stabilized pendimethalin, tg stabilized by the addition of either sodium dialkyl
(C
6 sulfosuccinate or an ethoxylated 8- diamine.
_t i 1 r r J i -2- 1I

This technique maintains pendimethalin in the yellow crystal form which does not favor the formation of large elongated crystals in formulated product for the preparation of wettable powders. However, these patents fail to disclose ways to formulate pendimethalin as a stable suspension concentrate composition or aqueous flowable composition with orange crystal forms, which form is favored.
These aqueous compositions frequently contain about 10% to 80%, by weight of a solid pesticide or mixture of solid pesticides, thereby providing a method for handling those pesticides which are relatively water insoluble in an aqueous medium.
Since these types of compositions have the desirable characteristics of a thick liquid, they may be poured or pumped. Thus, some of the problems, like dusting that is possible in solid compositions of wettable powders and granulars, are avoided. Further, these aqueous-based concentrates also have the added advantage of not requiring the use of organic solvents, often present in emulsifiable concentrates.
For these reasons, it is desirable to formulate pesticides into suspension concentrates or aqueous flowables. However, such formulations have their own problems such as gelling, caking and settling, as well as problems because of the physical dnd chemical characteristics of the pesticide or mixture of pesticides. Pendimethalin is one of these pesticides that is somewhat difficult to formulate.
Oftentimes, when pendimethalin in the orange macrocrystal form is found in compositions, very large, elongated crystals (about 3000 microns in length) appear in final product, resulting in r i -~op~ t -j r 1 0 0 0 0 0 JO 8 0 0 00 a 00 0 00 00 0 P -3instability, difficulty in processing and unreliability of usage. Thus, formulating compositions wherein these elongated crystals do not develop is crucial to stability and necessary to obtain even distribution of active compound for application.
The problems associated with the development of suspension cuemleutrate compositions containing low melting active ing, tients, alone or in combination with higher melting active ingredients, are described in German Patent Application DE 3302648 Al. German Patent Application DE 3302648 Al tries to deal with the problems of an aqueous mixed dispersion of a low melting active ingredient in a solvent of phthalic acid C

1 2 alkyl esters in combination with an aqueous suspension concentrate containing one or more 5i active ingredients as an alternative to a suspension concentrate containing low melting active ingredients, such as pendimethalinCN-(l-ethyl-propyl)-2,6-dinit'o- 3,4-xylidine]. The reason for the alternative approach of that application is the inability to prepare stable suspension concentrates by various techniques, including those of Eur opean Patent Application 0 33291.2 That EPO application describes insecticidal suspension concentrate compositions of phosalone and adjuvants which may be prepared with 25 molten insectLcide. These references do not address ways helpful to the development oC pendimethalin compositions which utilize the orange crystal form to produce a stable and evenly efficacious product.
It is an object of the present invention to provide stable aqueous concentrate compositions of the low melting pesticide, pendimethalin, in the orange crystal form either alone or in combination with secondary pesticide(s) in order to avoid the problem of formation of large elongated crystals of formulated pendiiothalin. These secondary pesticides are often 1 t

It is a further object of this invention to provide such stable aqueous suspension concentrate compositions of pendimnethalin having a ratio of orange crystal to yellow crystal of 4:96 to totally (100%) orange crystal form.
Furthermore, an additional object of the present invention is to provide methods for preparing such stable aqueous suspension concentrate 10 compositions.

in general, anionic polymerics, such as cresol iormaldehyde condens;.0es and their sulfoneites; naphtlialene formaldehlyde condensates and their sul~onates and lignosulfonates have been found to crystal formation during storage and as such are most preferred.
Suspending agents such as polysaccharide gums like Xanthan gum, guar gum; gum arabic and cell1ulose derivatives and the like are suitable for addItion i-n amounts of about 0,02% to on a weight to voluame hasis.
11 -7- Preservatives to prevent microbial spoiling in the compositions of the invention are included as necessary.

tt ,v 20 Process of Manufacturing Surprisingly, it has been found that stable aqueous suspension concentrate compositions of pendimethalin are prepared with at least 4.0% of the pendimethalin in the orange crystal form, contrary to what has been reported previously. In the present invention pendimethalin even in the large orange crystal form may be used to formulate stable aqueous (4 tsuspensions. Further, up to 100% of the pendimethalin may be present as the orange crystal form when preparing the compositions of the invention, whereas only the yellow crystal form was favored to avoid large elongated crystals of formulates of pend .methalin.
Thus, aqueous suspension concentrate composi.tions of pendimethalin alone or in combination with a second hiher melting pesticide(s) comprise on 0 U t) I be ad e to t e a u o s up n i n co c n r t *1 -8a weight to volume basis, about 5.0% to 50.0% of pendimethalin containing about 4.0% to 100% of the orange crystal form; about 0% to 50.0% of one or more secondary pesticide(s) having a melting point greater than 70°C or being water soluble; about 3.0% to 30.0% coformulants as described hereinabove; and the remainder water to total the composition to 100%, The compositions of the present invention are readily prepared by adding solid pendimethalin to water that may contain some of the coformulants, such as the antifoaming agents and/or suspending agents; milling at ambient temperatures the resulting solid-aqueous mixture to obtain an average particle size of less than 20 microns, preferably 2 microns to 10 microns; and then adding, if desired, other coformulants such as thickening agents, antifreezing agents, surfactants, dispersing agents, wetting agents, suspending agents and preservatives.
The following examples further illustrate the present invention and are not limitative thereof.
