BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a layer-covered granular pesticide which can control the elution start timing of pesticide components in a water-containing medium or water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in agriculture in Japan, the agricultural labor force is becoming weak due to the aging of agricultural workers and depopulation of rural areas. Therefore, as one of the labor saving of agricultural work, mechanization of pesticide application and devising of pesticide formulation have been attempted. To devise a pesticide formulation, a specified amount of a water-soluble potassium chloride-based pesticide formulation is packaged in a water-soluble film (such as polyvinyl alcohol), and the number of this pesticide is prepared in the target area. A method of dropping and spraying has been proposed. This method has advantages that it is not necessary to prepare a special spraying device, it can be dropped in a short time, and the amount of pesticide scattered is small. As an example of mechanization, there is a group control by aerial spraying of highly concentrated pesticides by a helicopter. Although this method is actually being promoted, accidents involving human life due to helicopter operation mistakes have also occurred. For this reason, radio-controlled small helicopters are becoming popular in recent years.However, the aerial spraying of high-concentration pesticides poses a problem of the environmental impact of the spraying of pesticides. In some cases, this is a concern.

By the way, pests and weeds to be sprayed with pesticides are damaged in various situations throughout the growing period of agricultural products. For example, the occurrence of each pest is individually related to the time of occurrence, spawning, hatching and sporulation. Data on the time of transmission of infectious sources has been accumulated, and a national project to prevent the occurrence of pests based on these data is currently being promoted. To prevent it,
It is necessary to spray pesticides at the most appropriate time in each stage of individual pests and weeds. Therefore, conventionally, it is necessary to separately apply various pesticides at every predetermined time, and whichever spraying method is used, the labor is excessive.

For example, rice blast, which is an important disease of rice, occurs during the entire growing period of rice, and especially rice transplant 1
Leaf blast disease that occurs a large number of months later, and panicle blast disease that occurs one month before harvesting and causes great damage and greatly affects rice yield are particularly problematic for control. For leaf blast, it is necessary to spray pesticides in the early stages of Honda's disease, and if there is a risk of spread, it is necessary to continue spraying every 7 to 10 days thereafter. Since it is effective to spray the rice blast disease from the earing stage to the heading stage, the pesticides are repeatedly applied at that time. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out a large number of pesticide spraying operations, which makes the work too heavy, which is very difficult.

It becomes possible to use it by subjecting it to a treatment that makes it difficult to decompose (for example, coating with a resin thin film).

In the multilayer-coated granular pesticide of the present invention, the pesticide component is present in the state of being supported on the granular carrier. The carrier is preferably spherical granules and is formed from a material which is chemically neutral or at least inert to the supported pesticide component and the superabsorbent swelling substance of the first coating layer. Preferably. Examples of such carriers include commonly used granular carriers such as silica, diatomaceous earth, clay, bentonite, talc, kaolin and the like. The carrier is preferably granular fertilizer in consideration of further saving the labor of application. That is, a combination in which the release time of the pesticide component and the elution time of the fertilizer component are substantially the same is selected, and a granular mixture of the fertilizer component and the pesticide component is produced according to the combination,
If this is coated in accordance with the present invention, the fertilizer component and the agrochemical component will be released at the same time.

The granular fertilizer used as a carrier for the multi-layered coated pesticide of the present invention may be any of the conventional fertilizer granules, but it does not contain ammonia nitrogen, or has a content of ammonia nitrogen. It is preferably small fertilizer granules. Specific examples include oxamide, urea,
Nitrogen fertilizers such as sodium nitrate, acetaldehyde condensed urea, isobutyraldehyde condensed urea, etc .; Phosphate fertilizers such as fused phosphorus fertilizer, calcined phosphorus fertilizer, processed phosphate fertilizer, mixed phosphate fertilizer, corrosive phosphate fertilizer; Potassium fertilizer such as potassium chloride, potassium sulfate magnesia, bicarbonate, and silicic acid fertilizer; chemical fertilizer such as phosphoric acid fertilizer and nitric acid potassium; organic fertilizer;
Further, a granular fertilizer obtained by granulating a mixture of these fertilizers by a method known per se can be mentioned. The particle size of the granular fertilizer is not particularly limited, but it is generally preferably 1 to 4 mm.

The highly water-swellable substance constituting the first coating layer of the multi-layer coated granular pesticide of the present invention is preferably a substance which swells to a volume of 5 times or more of the dry volume by absorbing water. In particular, a gel-like substance that has a small tendency to dissolve or elute when absorbing water and swells is preferable, and a substance that has a large swelling pressure is preferable. Examples of highly water-swellable substances include isobutylene-based polymers (for example, KI gel-201K, KI gel-201K-F2, KI gel solution system, KI gel ME-10, KI gel ME-10, manufactured by Kuraray Co., Ltd.). ), Acrylic acid / vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyethylene oxide modified resin (for example, Sumikagel S type, L type, R type manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.), sodium acrylate polymer (for example, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd.) Sumikagel N type manufactured by K.K., starch graft polymer, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), CM
Mention may be made of C metal salts and bentonite.

In the multilayer coated granular pesticide of the present invention, the coating amount of the first coating layer varies depending on the degree of swelling, the swelling pressure and the like of the highly water-swelling substance constituting the first coating layer, but it is generally a granular pesticide. Formulation (formulation consisting of pesticide components and granular carrier)
It is preferably from 0.5 to 20% by weight, in particular from 1 to 10% by weight. When the coating amount of the first coating layer is less than the above range, the pressure in the second coating layer due to swelling during water absorption becomes insufficient, and the amount generated due to strain, crack, breakage, etc. of the second coating layer becomes insufficient. , The elution (release) start time of the pesticide preparation is delayed, or the elution rate becomes slower after the start of elution of the pesticide preparation. Further, when the coating amount of the first coating layer is larger than the above range, the dissolution rate of the pesticide preparation after the dissolution of the pesticide preparation is increased, but the dissolution rate of the pesticide preparation is large even if it is increased to a certain degree or more. In addition, the content of the pesticide formulation in the multi-layered pesticide is relatively low, which is not preferable.

The second coating layer of the coated granular pesticide of the present invention is formed of an olefin polymer. The olefin polymer may be any of an olefin homopolymer, an olefin copolymer, and a copolymer of an olefin and another monomer having an olefinic double bond. Specific examples of the olefin-based polymer that is particularly preferable in the present invention include, for example, ethylene-acrylic acid ester (for example, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, etc.) copolymers, ethylene-methacrylic acid ester (for example, methyl methacrylate, Examples thereof include ethyl methacrylate) copolymer, low density polyethylene, ethylene-propylene copolymer, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and the like.

The coating amount of the second coating layer is preferably 2 to 50% by weight, more preferably 4 to 20% by weight based on the amount of the granular pesticide (agrochemical formulation). When the coating amount of the second coating layer is less than the above range, it becomes difficult to control the coating amount of the second coating layer according to the design value during the production of the coated granular pesticide (the coating amount of the second coating layer is The smaller the error, the narrower the allowable range of error), the lower the mechanical strength of the second coating layer, and the second coating layer may be damaged during handling, transportation, or storage of the coated granular pesticide, which may cause the above problems. There is. Further, even if the coating amount of the second coating layer is more than the above range, the release control effect is not further improved, and the content rate of the pesticide component in the coated granular pesticide is relatively decreased, and the pesticide component is further reduced. The amount of coating material that remains in the soil after release is increased.

The multilayer coated granular pesticide of the present invention is considered to function as follows in a water-containing medium or water. First, water (environmental water) gradually permeates the second coating layer, and the water that permeates the second coating layer is absorbed and swollen by the highly water-swelling substance of the first coating layer, and the pressure generated by the swelling (swelling) Pressure causes cracks in the second coating layer or destroys the second coating layer, and external water passes through the second coating layer and enters the inside, and the water dissolves and elutes the pesticide formulation. It is believed that there is.

Therefore, by selecting the type and coating amount (film thickness) of the olefin polymer of the second coating layer, the amount of the first water permeating through the second coating layer is controlled, and the first coating layer is By selecting the type and coating amount of the highly water-swellable substance, and the type and coating amount of the olefin-based polymer of the second coating layer, the degree of cracks and fractures occurring in the second coating layer and the time when the cracks and fractures occur. Can be controlled. Then, by controlling the amount of the first water permeating the second coating layer and the time at which the second coating layer cracks or breaks, the time when the elution (release) of the pesticide formulation starts (the multilayer coating granules of the present invention). The period from the time when the pesticide is put into the water-containing medium or the water until the elution of the pesticide component is started, which is regarded as the induction period of elution of the pesticide component) can be adjusted. Also,
The dissolution rate of the pesticide formulation can be adjusted by controlling the degree of cracking or destruction that occurs in the second coating layer.
As described above, the multilayer-coated granular pesticide of the present invention is a multilayer-coated granular pesticide that can start the elution of the pesticide formulation at any desired time.

In order to control the amount of the first water that permeates the second coating layer, the time at which the second coating layer cracks or breaks, and the degree of cracking or breakage, the above factors should be appropriately changed. Any combination may be used, and those skilled in the art can easily make experimental selections with reference to the explanations of the above factors.

The multi-layer coated granular pesticide of the present invention comprises forming a first coating layer by coating the surface of a pesticide formulation with a highly water-swelling substance, and then forming an olefin polymer on the surface of the particles having the first coating layer. It can be manufactured by coating to form a second coating layer.

The formation of the first coating layer is carried out, for example, by charging a granulated pesticide formulation into an inclined dish type granulator and sending hot air of 30 to 70 ° C. while water and / or a highly water-swelling substance. By adding a solution or dispersion (first coating layer forming liquid) in an organic solvent little by little, the surface of the pesticide formulation is coated with the first coating layer forming liquid, and at the same time, the solvent or dispersion medium is removed by evaporation, It can be performed by forming a layer of a highly water-swellable substance. At this time, if the highly water-swellable substance does not have a cross-linked structure, a cross-linking agent for cross-linking it is used together with this substance to change the coated highly water-swellable substance into a cross-linked structure, so that the highly water-swellable substance absorbs water at the time of water absorption. It is preferable that the volatile substance is difficult to dissolve and elute.

Adhesives suitable for ensuring that the highly water-swellable substance is adhered to the surface of the agrochemical formulation, eg ethylene-
Adhesives such as vinyl acetate copolymer, neoprene-phenol type, polyethylene glycol, and methacrylic acid type are preferably mixed in the dispersion of the highly water-swelling substance. Depending on the type of adhesive, all or part of water and / or the organic solvent can be omitted when preparing the first coating layer forming liquid.

Further, the pesticide formulation was loaded into a tilting plate type granulator, and a solution of the adhesive in water and / or an organic solvent was added little by little to make the adhesive solution sticky to the surface of the pesticide formulation. Meanwhile, the first coating layer can be formed by adding and adhering powder of the highly water-swelling swelling substance for coating and then drying. Of course, the first coating layer is formed by a method known per se, using other granular material coating device known per se, for example, Nauta mixer, aeration type coating device, rotating agent coater, drum type granulator, etc. You can also do it.

The formation of the second coating layer is carried out by dissolving the olefin polymer in an organic solvent to prepare a second coating layer forming solution, and then using another granular material coating apparatus known per se, for example, a fluidized bed type coating apparatus. , Aeration type coating device, tumbling flow type coating device, Nauta mixer, etc., the pesticide formulation having the first coating layer formed therein, and the second coating layer forming solution described above while sending hot air at 30 to 100 ° C. Can be applied to coat the surface of the agrochemical formulation with this solution, and at the same time, the solvent is removed by evaporation to form the second coating layer. The solvent used in forming the first coating layer and the second coating layer can be recovered and reused by treating the exhaust gas from the coating device by a conventional method.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The multilayer coated granular pesticide of the present invention is such that the pesticide component trapped inside is not released until a predetermined time by adjusting the composition, thickness, etc. of the coating layer, and When the release begins, the pesticide components will be eluted immediately. Therefore, depending on the pest to be controlled, multiple types of books designed with different release start times (period from application to release) so that the specified pesticide components are released at an appropriate time By applying the coated granular pesticide according to the invention at a normal agricultural work time such as a rice planting time, the time of each pest, that is, the time of the leaf blast disease (approximately 1 month after rice planting)
The pesticide formulation of the type corresponding to the above and the pesticide formulation of the type corresponding to the occurrence time of the rice blast (about 1 month before heading) are mixed and applied simultaneously at the time of rice planting, and the prescribed amount is determined according to the occurrence time of each pest. By releasing the pesticide component, each pest can be effectively controlled.
Therefore, the working hours and labor of the farmer can be remarkably saved, and the labor can be remarkably saved.

More specifically, the layer-covered granular pesticide of the present invention does not release a predetermined pesticide component in a water-containing medium or water until a necessary time, and once the release is started, the pesticide component is released immediately. It is a coated pesticide with a controlled elution start time for pesticides of a completely different type from conventional granular pesticide formulations. Therefore, in order to release the necessary pesticide components according to the occurrence of pests and weeds at appropriate times, the release start time (the period from application to the start of release) should be set to various lengths. By applying the coated granular pesticide of the present invention of the species, at the beginning of planting, it can be applied at once for the control of various types of pests and weeds that are expected to occur in advance, and has a remarkable effect. Can be revealed. In other words, if you carry out control work (application of pesticide formulations) for each occurrence of individual pests and weeds, it will take a large number of work, and this can be done only once, so it is a great work condition. Improvement can be expected. Further, since the multilayer coated granular pesticide according to the present invention is to be applied near the surface of planted agricultural crops, a relatively small amount of the applied pesticide is required, and a new pesticide and pests / weeds that have less problems of pesticide runoff and adverse effects on the environment. It can be advantageously used as a control means.
