EMULSIFIABLE LIQUID HERBICIDAL CONCENTRATES CONTAINING A TRIAZINE DERIVATIVE AND A 2-CHLOROACETAMIDE DERIVATIVE

摘要

Chemically and physically stable herbicidal, water- emulsifiable, liquid concentrates containing 4-amino-6-t-butyl-3- (methylthio)-1,2,4- triazin-5-one (metribuzin) and 2-chloro-N-(2,6- diethylphenyl)-N- methoxymethylacetamide (alachlor) are dissolved with an appropriate emulsifying agent in alkylbenzenes, especially xylene. The presence of the amide ingredient in about 3 to 5 times the weight of the triazinone ingredient permits the triazinone ingredient to be dissolved to the extent of as much as 12% by weight in xylene compared with only 4% in the absence of the amide.
