~2~
- 2 - HOE 77/F 195
It has been proposed to produce pesticides~contain-
ing granules of different sizes with the use of natural
mineral carriers or of carriers of vegetable origin. High
polymeric natural substances and compounds on the basis of
plastics materials have also been used for this purpose.
James ~. Polon has reported in Pesticide Formulations,
edited by Wade Van Valkenburg, Marcel Dekker Inc. New York,
pages 1~6 to 205, 1~73 about the technique of the produc-
~ tion of granules from mineral carriers and their properties.
- 10 Attempts have been made to delay the release of the active
substances by using high polymeric plastics materials
instead of natural porous carriers. It has also been
experimented to absorb pesticides on the aforesaid natural
carrier materials of mineral or vegetable origin and then
to envelope the products obtained with substances that are
more or less soluble in water.
The said granules serve the purpose to absorb pesti-
cidal agents, to deposit same and, after application, to
release same more or less slo~ly to the surroundings. In
this manner the active ingredients are able to act on
animal or vegetable pests over a prolonged period of time.
The active ingredient can be released in different ways.
When it has a sufficient volatility and is bound only~
slightly to the carrier material, it can be set free by
direct dif~usion. When, however, the active ingredienk is
sparingly volatile and the carrier material is sufficiently
hydrophilic, environmental moisture can wet the carrier
material, penetrate into the said material and set free the
29 active substance.
*
:

- 3 - HOE 77/F 195
F`inally, it is also possible to embed the active in-
gredient in carrier materials that decompose slowly without
and/or with external influence, whereby the effective
substance is slowly set free. It is also possible, of
course, to release the effective substance by any combi-
nation of the described processes.
~ F-OS 2,238,912 describes polymer masses which can be
decomposed by water and possess urea-like structures in
their polymeric chain molecules, which masses can be liquld
or solid. The liquid polymers may be transformed by a heat
treatment into hard and brittle solids. These modifications
are a result of molecule enlargement and cross-linking
reactions. The biologically active substance can be elther
incorporated lnto the polymer itself or it can be encap-
sulated by the polymer. Owing to the necessary thermal
treatment at elevated temperatures, the process is exclusi-
vely limlted to those active substances that do not
undergo any irreversible reaction with the ureas or pQSSi-
ble additives under the specified conditions.
GB-PS 903,159 descrlbes the manufacture of pellets
or small granules from a natural or synthetic wax, additives
and a volatile insecticide (DDVP). After application, the
insecticide is slowly set free and gets in the surroundings
of the pests in gaseous form.
N1~-PS 6,909,123 relates to formulations using poly-
ethylene wax having a molecular weight of about 2,000, a
density of about 0.5 kg/l and a melting point of about 100
tQ 105Qc. In an autoclave an insecticide is added to the
29 molten wax at at temperature above its melting point.
.

z~
~ L~ HOE 77/F 195
After solidification of the wax, a formulation is obtained
~hich slowly releases the insecticide.
DE-OS 2,452,217 is concerned with the incorporation
of organo-phosphorus insecticides into matrices on the
basis of terpene-phenol resin. The resins having a soften
ing point of at least 100C are obtained b~ reaction of
different terpenes, for example dipentene, ~-pinene,
- limonene and various turpentine fractions, with phenols in
the presence of a condensation catalyst. In this manner
the incorporated insecticide is protected against damaging
external influences, for example humidity, and slowly
released to the surroundings at a rate depending on the
size of the active surface and other conditions.
The use of polyvinyl chloride, polyamide, polyur-
ethane and other plastics materials in pesticidal formulations has been reported by N.Cardarelli, Controlled Release
Pesticides Formulations, CRC Press Inc. 1976, pages 139 et
seq.
G.B. Aquino and M.D. Pathak, J.Econ.Entom, 69, ~, page
6~6 (1976) describe experiments with insecticides in the
cultivation of rlce. In this case insecticides are applied
to the root region of rice plants in gelatin capsules or ln
the form of simple granules ? in order to retard the release
of the active substance to the plants. This ~ethod is very
important in the cultivation of rice in view of the fact
that during the peri.od of growth the rice plants must be
continuously supplied with insecticides, which is done in
conventiorlal manner by repeated spraying at about two weeks
29 intervals.

~2~5
The present invention provides a prQCess for the manufacture o~
biologically active pellets or granules which comprises the steps of adding to
a ~uxture of a biologically active substance useful in agriculture and carrier
material therefor an isocyanate material selected from diisocyanates, polyiso-
cyanates and mixtures and prepolymers thereof and water, a polyhydric alcohol,
a polyvalent amine or an alkanol am m e as an H-active co~ound reactive with
said isocyanate material to form solid polyurethane-polyureas, compacting the
resulting composition at high pressure into pressure resis-tant granules or
pellets and thereafter causing said isocyanate material and H-active compound
to react at a temperature of 10 to 60C to form a solid polyurethane-polyurea
polymer, preferably 20 to S0C and more preferably at room temperature.
Suitable carrier materials in the process of the invention are all
materials generally used in the ma~ufacture of granules, such as pre-fabricated
and conminuted, solid, fully synthetic or partially synthetic organic high
polymers/ materials of mineral, vegetable or animal origin, as well as inorganic; carriers. In order not to affect the solid quality, carrier materials of
mineral or vegetable origin are preferred, especially those that stem from soil
or rot easily.
As mineral or inorganic carrier materials there are mentioned by way
of examples all types of silicic acid, diatomaceous earth, kieselguhr,
silicates and silicate-containing substances such as clay, mica, pumice; chalk,
magnesium carbonates, clays, sparingly soluble phosphates such as Thomas meal
and all types of coal.
Suitable fully synthetic or partially synthetic organic high polymers
are, for example, urea resinsr such as urea-formaldehyde resins, cellulose
derivatives such as
C

~.Z~
cellulose ethers, polyvinyl alcohols or modified polyvinyl alcohols
such as partially saponified polyvinyl acetates or propionates.
As carriers of vegetable origin there can be used in the
first place saw dust, chipped straw from cereals, especially from
corn and rice, peat and crushed corncobs.
The use of mineral and vegetable carriers has the advantage
that they disintegrate or rot after use so that they do not constitute
an additional burden to the envlronment, whereas some thermoplastic
or duroplastic materials remain in the soil as foreign substances which
cannot be degraded biologically. This fact i5 especially important in
those cases in which for technical reasons the proportion of carrier
material to active ingredient must be very high.
As biologically active materials there can be used soil-
active compounds such as systemic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides,
nematocides or algicides, as well as growth regulators and fertilizers
or mixtures of the said biologically active substances. 'rhey can be
used as such or dissolved in organic solvents, optionally with the
addition of emulsifiers, wetting agents, hydrophobizing substances or
- other ingredients known from formulation ~echniques. Biocides and
growth regulators, which are not liquid at a temperature above 0C
and are sparingly soluble in water, are preferably used in organic
solution. In analogy with the wetting powder technique, they are
preferably added to the mixtures according to the invention in ad-
sorhed form, advantageously on a highly active adsorbent.

~ 7 ~ HQ~ 77~ 195
Suitable di- or polyisocyanates which undergo a poly-
addition reactis3rl h~ith the H-active compounds to forn. a
binding agent that hardens the pellets or granules are,
~or example, aliphatic, aromatic, heterocyclic, cylcoali-
pnatic and araliphaic di- and polyisocyanates such as
ethylene diisocyanate, 1,4~tetramethylene diisocyanate,
hexamethylene diisocyanate, 1,12-dodecane-diisocyanate,
2,4 and 2,6-toluylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane-2
and -4,~'-diisocyanate3 naphtahlene 1,5-diisocyanate;
chlorinated aryLpolyisocyanates, phenylene diisocyanates,
diphenyl diisocyanates, xylylene-1,4-diisocyanate, toluene-
2,4,6-triisocyanate, xylylene-1,4-diisocyanate, eyclohexy-
lene-1,2- and -1,4-diisocyanate, 4,~',4"-triphenylmethane-
triisocyanate, technical grade polymethylene pclyphenyl
isoeyanate tPAPI(R)).
~ speeially good results are obkained with NCO pre-
polymers from the aforesaid isocyanates, for example with
di- or polyols of a mean moleeular weight of 5CO to
10,000. For the manufaeture of such pre-polymers there can
be used, for examplet diols or polyols having from 3 to 6
hydroxyl groups per molecule or corresponding hydroxyl
; groups-containing polyesters, polyethers, polyester
amides, polycarbonates and/or polyaeetals.
NCO pre-polymers are reaetion products of di- and
polyisocyanates with diols or polyols or other eompounds
eontaining a plurality of OH groups. The di- or- polyiso--
eyanates are used in stoiehiometric excess so that the
reaetion product3 formed still eontain a suf~icient number
of ~ree NCO (isocyanate) groups that may reaet liixe
3~ po]yisoeyanates.

Z~Z5
- 8 - ~30E 77/F 195
The production of the isocyanate pre-polymers is des-
cribed, for example by R.Viewe~, A.~ochtlen in Kunst~toff-
~andbuch, volume VIl, Polyurethane, Carl Hanser Verlag,
Munich 1966, pages 45 at seq.
A suitable H-active compound to be used as polycon-
densation component for the specified isocyanates or their
pre-polymers is in the first place, water, especially the
water or moisture contained in the carrier materials. Fur-
ther suitable polycondensation components are, for example
polyhydric alcohols, polyvalent amines or alkanol amlnes.
Other reaction components for reactin~ with the NCO pre-
polymers are high molecular weight polyols or polyamines,
for example (poly)-hydroxy-polyethers, polyesters and poly-
amides.
Suitable polyhydric alcohols are, for example, ethy-
lene glycol, 1,2- and 1,3-propylene glycol, butylene glycol
isomers, hexanediol, octanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol,
glycerol, butanetriol, trimethylolpropane, hexanetriol,
pentaerythritol, mannitol, sorbitol ? polyethylene glycols,
polypropyleneglycols and polybutylene glycols.
emulsiflers, wetting agents, hydrophobizing substances or
~ ydroxylpolyesters that can be used are obtained
by reacting polycarboxylic acids with polyhydric alcohols.
Suitable polycarboxylic acids are, inter alia, malonic
acid, succinic acid 7 glutaric acid, adipic acid, pimelic
acid, maleic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and
hexahydrophthalic anhydride. The specified polycarboxylic
acids can be reacted with the polyhydric alcohols mention-
ed above by way of examples.
Suitable poly~ster amides can be o~tained, f`or example,
"

- 9 - HOE 77/F 195
by reacting tile polyvalent, saturated and unsaturated
carboxylic acids mentioned above or the anhydrides there~
of with polyvalent, saturated or unsaturated amino-alco-
hols, diamines and polyamines.
Suitable polycarbonates can be prepared, for example,
by reacting simple diols with diaryl carbonates or phos-
gene.
Polyacetals to be used according to the invention may
be prepared in known manner by reacting diols or polyols
with formaldehyde.
Suitable amines as polyaddition components are also
the following di- and polyamines: ethylenediamine, tri-
methylenediamine, tetramethylenediamine, pentamethylene-
diamine, hexamethylenediamine, diethylenediamine, tri-
ethylenetetramine, tetraethylenepentamine, m-phenylene-
diamine, p-phenylenediamine, piperazine, methylpiperazine,
diethanolamine, diisopropanolamine and triethanolamine.
Depending on the chosen components, the aforesaid iso-
cyanates react with the H-active compounds to polyurethanes,
polyureas or polyurethane-ureas and thus form in situ the
agent binding or holding together and/or embedding the
individual particles of the carrier materials and the
active ingredients. The polymerization speed can be ac-
celerated in known manner by adding small amounts of basic
amines, a]kyl tin compounds, alkali metal hydroxides, phe-
no~.ates and/or alcoholates as catalysts. The proportions
of the polymeri~ation components are chosen in known manner,
preferably for one isocyanate group approximate]y one OH
29 or NH2 group should be available.

- 10 ~ HOE 77/F 195
The components of the mixtures according to the in-
vention are in~en~ely mixed, in some cases advantageously
with the addition of up to equal parts by weight of orga-
nic solvents, calculated on the isocyanate component, and
further processed on devices or machines known for granu-
lation, pelletation or consolidatior..
The granules or pellets obtained are then stored for
some time, for example several hours or several days, at
room temperature or at higher temperature if a more rapid
hardening is desired. The end of the hardening can be
readily ascertained by determination of the coefficient
of resistance. In general, hardening is complete after
1 to 5 days.
The composition of the granules or pellets can vary
within wide limits. In general, their corltent of biocides
and growth regulators is in the range of from 0.5 to 10 ~
; by weight, preferably 0.5 to 5 % by weight, calculated on
the finished product, inclusive of 1 to 10 % by weight of
an organic solvent, if any, and the required emulsifiers.
In the case of highly active compounds the proportion there-
of can be reduced to 0.5 to 2 ~ by weight. The proportion
the solid fertilizers, for example organic fertilizers,
urea or mineral fertilizers, may be as high as 50 % and the
fertilizer may partially replace the carrier rnaterial.
Thc proportion of binding agent consisting of a mix-
ture of di- or polyisocyanate ol isocyanate prs-polymer
and H-active compound is normally in the range of from 1 to
30 ~ by welg'lt, preferably 5 to 20 ~ by weight, rnore pre
29 ferably 6 to 12 % by weight. If necessary, the c~amponents

of the binder are dissolved or suspended in ~p to equal parts by weight
of an organic solvent. Suitable organic solvents are~ for example,
those generally used in isocyanate chemistry. As regards the carrier
material, the formulations generally contain about 30 to 70% by weight
thereof, calculated on the granules ready for use.
Ihe process of the invention makes it possible to incorporate
iTI granules or pellets of any desired size hyclrophobic as well as hydro-
philic substances in such a manner that they migrate into the soil
after a prolonged period of time only and are then taken up by the roots
of the plants. Plant protecting agents having a limited stability in
water may be additionally encapsulated in microcapsules before they
are processed into pellets or granules. As embedding substances for
the microcapsules, products are preferably used which ensure a slow
release of the active compound or are slowly dissolved by water or
the moisture in the soil and set free the active ingredient.
The process of the present invention offers, inter alia,
the following advantages:
1) Several actLve ingredients can be applied in one working step.
2) The pellets or granules prepared by the process of the invention
have a depot effect and, therefore, repeated applications accord-
ing to conventional methods during the season can be dispensed
with.
3) The plant is continuously supplied with the necessary active
substance over a definite period of time.
,; .j

z~
- 12 - HOE 77/F 195
4) The active substances are utilized almost completely.
A possi~le polluting effect 011 the environment by ex-
cess amounts of the active substance is avoided.
5) By the use of the aforsaid natural mineral and/or vege-
table carrier materials minor amounts of foreign sub-
stances only come into the soil, which may practically
be neglected.
6~ With the use of the specified binders the fine-grained
and soft mineral and vegetable carriers and active in-
gredients are transformed into non dusting, abrasion-
resistant pellets of a high mechanical strength which
do not disintegrate, for example on the transport, dur-
ing storage and application.
7~ The utilization of the moisture naturally contained in
the formulation components for hardening (polycondensa-
tion) makes it possible to produce completely dry gra
nules and pellets.
;~ The following examples illustrate the invention but
they are not intended to limit it thereto, since extensive
variations of the substances and components to be used and
` the proportions thereof are possible. The seleckion of the
individual substances depends on the desired properties of
the granules or pellets to be made therefrom.

Fleld _tests
On the basis of the test results obtained in the green-
house according to Example 1,experirnents 3 and 4 were
carried out in the open field with rice cicadas (Nilapar-
~ata lugens). The pell.ets were given in one dose 3 days
af~er transplantation of the young rice plants (3 DAT) and

Z~
worked about 5 cm deep into the root region. The amount applied was
2.0 kg of active substance per hectare for 160,000 hills per hectare.
Under otherwise identical conditions, this corresponded in Exp0riments
3 and 4 to an amount of active ingredient of 12.5 Mg per pellet, pre-
pared according to ~xa~les 1 and 2.
As comparative agent theTe was used in Experiments 3
and 4 commercial BPMC granules (Hopein* 4 G) containing 4 %
of 2-sec.-butylphenyl-N-methylcarbamate as active ingredient.
The first application of the granules was made as usual 12
days after transplantation ~12 DAT) with 1.0 kg of active
ingredient per hectare, followed by thre0 further applica-
tions at intervals of 15 days each, so ~hat a total amount
of 4.0 kg o active ingredient was applied per hectare.
The plants were controlled 15, 19, 27, 30, 45, 71, 75,
79 and 86 days after transplantation (DAT). The results
; are summarized in Table 3 (experiment 3~ and in table 4
~experiment 4).
