Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Weeds cause tremendous global economic losses by reducing crop yields and lowering crop quality. In the United States alone, agronomic crops must compete with hundreds of weed species.
In spite of the commercial herbicides available today, damage to crops caused by weeds still occurs. Accordingly, there is ongoing research to create new and more effective herbicides.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,512,797 describes certain herbicidal 1,3,5-triazinone compounds.. However, that patent does not disclose the compounds of the present invention and does not disclose any preemergence weed/post-transplant rice applications.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide compounds which are highly effective for controlling undesirable plant species.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide methods for controlling undesirable plant species.
It is a feature of the present invention to provide a method for the control of undesirable plant species in the presence of transplanted rice.
These and other objects and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description thereof set forth below.

The compounds may be applied to the soil or water containing transplanted rice plants and seed or other propagating organs of a variety of weed species.
The formula I compounds of this invention are best suited for use as broad spectrum herbicides, especially when applied postemergence to the locus in which weed control is desired. However, certain compounds of this invention are selective. In fact, some of the compounds of this invention are selective in crops such as soybeans, rice, wheat and corn when applied as preemergence and/or postemergence treatments.
While the formula I compounds of this invention are effective for controlling undesirable plant species when employed alone, they may also be used in combination with other biological chemicals, including other herbicides.
The formula I compounds of this invention may be applied to crops in the form of a solid or liquid herbicidal composition, comprising a herbicidally effective amount of the compound dispersed or dissolved in an agronomically acceptable, inert solid or liquid carrier. The compositions may be applied as preemergence or postemergence treatments.
The formula I compounds may be formulated as emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, granular formulations, flowable concentrates and the like.
In order to facilitate a further understanding of the invention, the following examples are presented primarily for the purpose of illustrating more specific details thereof. The invention should not be deemed limited by the examples as the full scope of the invention is defined in the claims. The term NMR designates nuclear magnetic resonance spetroscopy.

Postemergence herbicidal evaluation of test compounds
The postemergence herbicidal activity of the compounds of the present invention is demonstrated by the following tests, wherein a variety of dicotyledonous and monocotyledonous plants are treated with test compounds, dispersed in aqueous acetone mixtures. In the tests, seedling plants are grown in jiffy flats for about two weeks. The test compounds are dispersed in 50/50 acetone/water mixtures containing 0.5% TWEEN.RTM.20, a polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate surfactant of Atlas Chemical Industries, in sufficient quantities to provide the equivalent of about 0.125 kg to 0.500 kg per hectare of active compound when applied to the plants through a spray nozzle operating at 40 psi for a predetermined time. After spraying, the plants are placed on greenhouse benches and are cared for in the usual manner, commensurate with conventional greenhouse practices. From four to five weeks after treatment, the seedling plants are examined and rated according to the rating system set forth below. Data obtained are reported in Table I below. Where more than one test is involved for a given compound, the data are averaged.
Plant species employed in these evaluations are reported by header abbreviation, common name and scientific name.

EXAMPLE 41
Preemergence herbicidal evaluation of test compounds
The preemergence herbicidal activity of the test compounds of the present invention is exemplified by the following tests in which the seeds of a variety of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants are separately mixed with potting soil and planted on top of approximately one inch of soil in separate pint cups. After planting, the cups are sprayed with the selected aqueous acetone solution containing test compound in sufficient quantity to provide the equivalent of about 0.125 to 0.50 kg per hectare of test compound per cup. The treated cups are then placed on greenhouse benches, watered and cared for in accordance with conventional greenhouse procedures. From four to five weeks after treatment, the tests are terminated and each cup is examined and rated according to the rating system provided in Example 40.
The data obtained are reported in Table II below. The compounds evaluated are reported by compound number given in Example 40.

EXAMPLE 42
Rice tolerance to post-transplant applications and preemergence weed control under flooded paddy conditions
The tolerance of transplanted rice to post-transplanted herbicide applications is determined as follows: two ten-day-old rice seedlings (CV. Tebonnet) are transplanted into a silt loam soil in 32 oz. plastic containers with a diameter of 10.5 cm and no drainage holes. After transplanting the containers are flooded and the water level is maintained at 1.5 to 3 cm above the soil surface. Three days after transplanting, the flooded soil surface of the containers is treated with the selected aqueous/acetone 50/50 v/v mixture containing the test compounds to provide the equivalent of about 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 and 0.063 kg/ha of active ingredient. The treated containers are placed on greenhouse benches, watered such that the water level is maintained as stated above, and cared for according to normal greenhouse procedures. Three to four weeks after treatment the test is terminated and each container is examined and herbicidal effect rated according to the rating system provided in Example 40.The data obtained are reported in Table III. The compounds evaluated are reported by compound number given in Example 40.
Preemergence herbicidal activity under flooded paddy conditions is determined as follows: plant seeds or propagating organs are planted in the top 0.5 cm of silt loam soil in 32 oz. plastic containers with a diameter of 10.5 cm and no drainage holes. Water is added to these containers and maintained at 1.5 to 3 cm above the soil surface for the duration of the experiment. The test compounds are applied as aqueous/acetone mixtures 50/50 v/v pipetted directly into the flood water to give the equivalent of about 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 and 0.063 kg/ha of active ingredient. The treated containers are placed on greenhouse benches and cared for according to normal greenhouse procedures. Three to four weeks after treatment the test is terminated and each container is examined and herbicidal effect rated according to the rating system provided in Example 40. The data obtained are reported in Table III. The compounds evaluated are reported by compound number given in Example 40.

EXAMPLE 43
Preemergence herbicidal evaluation of test compounds in the presence of transplanted rice under flooded paddy conditions
In this example, Deluvian paddy soil (Toyokawa paddy soil) is placed in plastic pots, 100 cm.sup.2 .times.9 cm in depth. Water is added to the level of the soil surface in the pot and the mixture is paddled 3 cm in depth.
Pots are then variously sown with monocotyledenous weed seeds and tubers at 0-2 cm in soil depth, as well as transplanted rice plants at the 2.5 leaf stage. The rice plants are transplanted at about 3 cm soil depth. Water is then added to all of the pots to 3 cm deep and kept at a depth of 3 cm for the duration of the test. Test compounds are applied in the manner described in Example 42 three days after transplanting the rice plants and sowing the weed seeds and tubers. The pots are then placed on greenhouse benches and cared for in the conventional manner. Tests are examined at 25 to 30 days after treatment and rated according to the rating system provided in Example 40. The data obtained are recorded in Table IV below. The compounds evaluated are reported by compound number given in Example 40.
