Abstract:
A water-leachable herbicide occupies the voids, or channels, of a particulate, substantially water-impermeable porous cellulose ester carrier which provides controlled release of the herbicide into soil. The herbicide-filled cellulose ester composition can be prepared by the method which comprises: (a) dissolving cellulose ester in a solvent; (b) combining the cellulose ester solution with a sufficient amount of a liquid which is a non-solvent for cellulose ester, but miscible with the cellulose solvent, under vigorous agitation to provide a homogeneous liquid containing porous cellulose ester particles having voids, or channels, communicating with the exterior surface thereof; (c) contacting the cellulose ester particles with a water-leachable herbicide dissolved in a liquid which is a non-solvent for cellulose ester whereby the voids, or channels, of the cellulose ester particles become partially or substantially completely occupied with at least part of the herbicide solution; and (d) drying the cellulose ester particles. The herbicidal composition can also be prepared by the leaching and pulverizing method fully disclosed in the description of the preferred embodiments herein.
