DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to an agent for imparting a sustained release property to a pesticidally active ingredient having solid particulate form in a pesticide or a pesticide preparation containing the solid particles of the pesticidally active ingredient, and this invention also relates to a new pesticide having the sustained release property and containing the pesticidally active ingredient which has been treated with the agent for imparting the sustained release property thereto, and further this invention includes a process for the production of such solid particles of a pesticidally active ingredient which have gained a sustained release property. More particularly, this invention is directed to a technique for controlling the release of a pesticidally active ingredient from the pesticide by covering the particle surfaces of said pesticidally active ingredient of solid particulate form with fine particles or powder of a hydrophobic substance.
BACKGROUND ART
Hithereto, many efforts have been made to impart a sustained release property to various kinds of pesticidally active ingredients having solid form or liquid form. When largely classified, the prior art methods for preparing a pesticide having the sustained release property include (1) a method comprising encapsulating a pesticidal active ingredient in micro-capsules (see Japanese patent application first publication "Kokai" No. 58-144204 gazette and Japanese patent application first publication "Kokai" No. 59-20209 gazette); (2) a method comprising converting a pesticidally active ingredient into an inclusion compound with cyclodextrin (see Japanese patent application first publication "Kokai" No. 58-21602 gazette and Japanese patent application first publication "Kokai" No. 59-53401 gazette); (3) a method comprising granulating solid particles of a pesticidally active ingredient for use in a pesticide preparation such as granules and powders etc., alone or together with a filler etc., and coating the resultant particulate cores with wax or one of various resins (see Japanese patent application first publication "Kokai" No. 57-126402 gazette and Japanese patent application first publication "Kokai" No. 60-202801 gazette), and others. Hitherto, however, no attempt was made to achieve an improvement in the art by depositing and adhering fine particles of a hydrophobic substance onto the particle surfaces of a pesticidally active ingredient having a solid particulate form so as to cover the particle surfaces of the active ingredient with the fine particles of the hydrophobic substance, and thus controlling the dissolution and release of said pesticidally active ingredient.
When a pesticide preparation having a solid state in the form of granules and powders is brought into contact with water after the application of said pesticide preparation for use, in some cases the active ingredient present in said preparation can rapidly dissolve out and be released from the pesticide preparation so that the concentration of the active ingredient as released exceeds such a concentration just required for the active ingredient to display its biological effects. In these cases, the active ingredient can occasionally bring about kill of the leave of crop plants or a phytotoxicity such as suppression of the growth of crop plants; and the active ingredient once released can be degraded or disappear fastly in water or soil; and also it can disappear due to its degradation under the action of light, with consequences that the period of time of the lasting of the biological activities of the active ingredient can be shortened. For these reasons, these various troublesome problems can be solved if such a measure is provided to ensure that the pesticidally active ingredient continues to release gradually over a prolonged period of time from the pesticide preparation only in minimum amounts of the active ingredient just required to achieve the control of a pest. Further, when the sustained release property can be imparted to a pesticide, the necessity of
