Aquatic herbicides
| Details |
Inventors: Vartiak, Joseph F.; Wortley, Jr., George E.;
Assignee: Nalco Chemical Company (Oak Brook, IL)
Primary Examiner: Mills; Catherine L.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Premo; John G., Miller; Robert A.
Aquatic herbicides of improved activity are afforded by applying them beneath the surface of waters that contain undesirable aquatic vegetation, said application being performed in the presence of a water-soluble vinyl addition polymer having a molecular weight of at least 10,000, and an inorganic salt cross linking agent. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Having thus described our invention, we claim: 1.
A process for improving the activity of aquatic herbicides which comprises applying these herbicides under water to the vegetation to be controlled in the presence of: A.
from 0.
005 to 0.
2 pounds of a water soluble vinyl addition polymer per gallon of herbicidal solution applied, said water soluble vinyl addition polymer being selected from the group consisting of acrylamide-acrylic acid copolymers, acrylamide-methacrylic acid copolymers, polyacrylic acid, and polymethacrylic acid, said polymer further characterized as having a molecular weight of at least 10,000; and B.
from 0.
01-5% by weight of the polymer of an inorganic cross-linking agent from the group consisting of water-soluble trivalent salts of aluminum.
2.
The process of claim 1 wherein the water soluble vinyl addition polymer is sodium polyacrylate.
3.
The process of claim 1 wherein the inorganic crosslinking agent is selected from the group consisting of sodium aluminate and aluminum chloride.
4.
The process of claim 1 wherein the vegetation is Hydrilla.
5.
The process of claim 1 wherein the water soluble vinyl addition polymer is contained in a water-in-oil emulsion which can be inverted to cause the solubilization of the polymer when contacted with water.
6.
The process of claim 1 wherein the water-soluble vinyl addition polymer is a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid.
7.
The process of claim 1 wherein the water-soluble polymer has a molecular weight of at least 1 million.
Description:
INTRODUCTION Many species of undesirable aquatic vegetation may be contained or controlled by treating this vegetation with a variety of aquatic herbicides.
These herbicides are oftentimes applied by spraying them beneath the water's surface.
Many of these aquatic herbicides are applied in conjunction with weighting agents such as sugar or as water-in-oil emulsions which are formulated so that the emulsion slowly inverts in the water.
The emulsion droplets, prior to inverting, slowly sink to the bottom of the water where they, hopefully, become affixed to the plant or to the bottom of the body of water where their activity can be focused directly against the vegetation sought to be controlled
