Solid and water-soluble active ingredient and herbicide formulation, production process therefor, and process for controlling weeds

摘要

The present invention provides active ingredients and herbicide formulations, as well as the production processes therefor. The active ingredient of the invention is a dry, solid ammonium salt of glyphosate, having high purity (95 to 100%) and low humidity (1.0% m/m), and is useful as “technical salt” for the preparation of dry, solid, and water-soluble herbicide formulations of the invention. The production process of said active ingredient comprises a solid/liquid/solid reaction between a solid ammonium salt and solid glyphosate acid, both solid being dispersed in an organic liquid medium. The products of the invention are highly water-soluble and are useful for controlling crop weeds.
