Granular herbicidal composition based on at least aminotriazole

Abstract

Granular herbicidal water-soluble composition based either on aminotriazole alone or on aminotriazole combined with at least one other herbicide selected from the group comprising alkaline, alkaline-earth metal and ammonium thiocyanates, glyphosate, MCPA sodium salt, sulfosate, glufosinate, paraquat and metribuzen. It is provided in the form of granules of cylindrical shape, with a composition and a diameter which are substantially identical from one granule of cylindrical shape to another for a given granular herbicidal composition, the diameter and the length of the said granules of cylindrical shape being respectively of the order of 0.4 to 2 mm, preferably of 0.8 to 1.4 mm, and of the order of 5 to 10 millimeters. The said granular herbicidal composition is obtainable by use of a process according to which aminotriazole, alone or as an intimate homogeneous mixture with at least one other herbicide of the above-identified group, is, if necessary, brought by milling to a suitable particle size, mixed with an amount of water sufficient to ensure its cohesion under a moderate pressure, optionally brought together with a surface-active agent and directed through the orifices of the grid of an extrusion device, the granules of cylindrical shape thus obtained being dried.
