I. Definitions

Terms used herein will have their customary meaning in the art unless specified otherwise. The singular forms “a” and “the” include plural references unless stated otherwise. To the extent that the term “or” is employed (e.g., A or B) it is intended to mean “A or B or both.” If this disclosure intends to indicate “only A or B but not both” then the term “only A or B but not both” will be employed. Thus, use of the term “or” herein is the inclusive and not the exclusive use.


The chemical moieties mentioned when defining variable positions within the general formulae described herein (e.g., the term “alkyl”) are collective terms for the individual substituents encompassed by the chemical moiety. The prefix Cn-Cm preceding a group or moiety indicates, in each case, the possible number of carbon atoms in the group or moiety that follows.


As used herein, the terms “herbicide” and “herbicidal active ingredient” may be understood to include an active ingredient that kills, controls, or otherwise adversely modifies the growth of vegetation, particularly undesirable vegetation such as weed species, when applied in an appropriate amount.


As used herein, the term “herbicidal effect” may be understood to include an adversely modifying effect of an active ingredient on vegetation, including, for example, a deviation from natural growth or development, killing, regulation, desiccation, growth inhibition, growth reduction, and retardation. The term “herbicidal activity” refers generally to herbicidal effects of an active ingredient. As used herein, the term “prevents” or similar terms such as “preventing” may be understood by a person of ordinary skill to include any combination that shows herbicidal effect or reduces the competitive capability of the weed with respect to a crop.


As used herein, “applying” a herbicide or herbicidal composition refers to delivering it directly to the targeted vegetation or to the locus thereof or to the area where control of undesirable vegetation is desired. Methods of application include, but are not limited to, pre-emergently contacting soil or water, post-emergently contacting the undesirable vegetation, or contacting the area adjacent to the undesirable vegetation.


As used herein, the term “vegetation” can include, for instance, dormant seeds, germinating seeds, emerging seedlings, plants propagating from vegetative propagules, immature vegetation, and established vegetation.


As used herein, the term “crop” refers to desired vegetation, for instance, plants that are grown to provide food, shelter, pasture, erosion control, etc. Example crops include cereals, legumes, vegetables, orchard and timber trees, grapevines, etc. Preferably, herbicides or herbicidal compositions have zero or minimal herbicidal effect on crops.


As used herein, the term “undesirable vegetation” refers to vegetation that is not wanted in a given area, for instance, weed species. Herbicides or herbicidal compositions are used to control undesirable vegetation. Preferably, herbicides or herbicidal compositions have a large or complete herbicidal effect on undesirable vegetation.


As used herein, “active ingredient” or “ai” may be understood to include a chemical compound or composition that has an effect on vegetation, for example, a herbicidal effect or a safening effect on the vegetation.


As used herein, “acid equivalent” or “ae” may be understood to include the amount of the acid form of an active ingredient that is calculated from the amount of a salt or ester form of that active ingredient. For example, if the acid form of an active ingredient “Z” has a molecular weight of 100 Dalton, and the salt form of Z has a molecular weight of 130 Dalton, an application of 130 g ai/ha of the Z salt would be equal to applying 100 g ae/ha of the acid form of Z:





130 g ai/ha Z salt*(100 Da Z acid/130 Da Z salt)=100 g ae/ha Z acid.


As used herein, unless otherwise specified, the term “acyl” may be understood to include a group of formula —C(O)R, where “C(O)” is short-hand notation for C═O.

IV. Compositions

A composition comprising (a) a pyridine carboxylate herbicide or an agriculturally acceptable N-oxide, salt, or ester thereof may be mixed with or applied in combination with (b) an ALS inhibitor or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof.


In some aspects, (a) and (b) are used in an amount sufficient to induce an unexpectedly enhanced herbicidal effect (e.g., increased damage or injury to undesirable vegetation) while still showing good crop compatibility (e.g., no increased damage to crops) when compared to the individual application of the herbicidal compounds (a) or (b). In some aspects, the damage or injury to undesirable vegetation caused by the compositions and methods disclosed herein is evaluated using a scale from 0% to 100%, when compared with the untreated control vegetation, wherein 0% indicates no damage to the undesirable vegetation and 100% indicates complete destruction of the undesirable vegetation.


In some aspects, the joint action of (a) the pyridine carboxylate herbicide or an agriculturally acceptable N-oxide, salt, or ester thereof and (b) the ALS inhibitor or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof results in unexpectedly enhanced herbicidal effect against undesirable vegetation, even at application rates below those typically used for the herbicide to have a herbicidal effect on its own. In some aspects, the compositions and methods disclosed herein can, based on the individual components, be used at lower application rates to achieve a herbicidal effect comparable to the effect produced by the individual components at normal application rates.

EXAMPLES
Greenhouse Trial Methodology—Evaluation of Postemergence Herbicidal Effect

Seeds of the desired test plant species were planted in a 90:10% v/v (volume/volume) mixture of PRO-MIX® BX (Premier Tech Horticulture, Quakertown, Pa., USA) and PROFILE® GREENS GRADE™ (Profile Products LLC, Buffalo Grove, Ill., USA) planting mixture, which typically has a pH of 5.2 to 6.2 and an organic matter content of at least 50 percent, in plastic pots with a surface area of 103.2 square centimeters (cm2). In some aspects, to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fungicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The plants were grown for 7-36 days (d) in a greenhouse with an approximate 14-hour (h) photo-period which was maintained at about 23° C. during the day and 22° C. during the night. Nutrients and water were added on a regular basis and supplemental lighting was provided with overhead metal halide 1000-Watt lamps as necessary. The plants were employed for testing when they reached the second or third true leaf stage.


Emulsifiable concentrates of each of each pyridine carboxylate herbicide (Compound A or Compound B) were prepared at 100 grams acid equivalent per liter (g ae/L). The emulsifiable concentrates also included a safener, cloquintocet-mexyl, at 120 grams active ingredient per liter (g ai/L), unless otherwise noted below. An aliquot of each emulsifiable concentrate was placed in a 25 mL glass vial and diluted with an aqueous mixture of 1.25% (v/v) ACTIROB® B esterified rapeseed oil (Bayer Crop Science, Research Triangle Park, N.C., USA) or MSO® Concentrate with LECI-TECH® methylated soybean oil (Loveland Products, Loveland, Colo., USA) to obtain concentrated stock solutions at the highest application rate for each herbicide, based upon a 12 milliliter (mL) application volume at a rate of 187 liters per hectare (L/ha). The concentrated stock solutions were further diluted with an aqueous mixture of 1.25% v/v ACTIROB® B or MSO® Concentrate with LECI-TECH® to obtain stock solutions at reduced application rates for each herbicide. Spray solutions of the herbicide combinations (Compound A or Compound B plus ALS herbicide) were prepared by adding weighed amounts or aliquots of the ALS herbicides to the stock solutions of Compound A or Compound B to form 12-mL spray solutions in two- or three-way combinations.


The spray solutions were applied to the plant material with an overhead Mandel track sprayer equipped with 8002E nozzles calibrated to deliver 187 L/ha over an application area of 0.503 square meters (m2) at a spray height of 18 inches (43 centimeters (cm)) above the average plant canopy. Control plants were sprayed in the same manner with the solvent blank. All pyridine carboxylate herbicide (component a) application rates are given as “g ae/ha” and all ALS inhibitor (component b) application rates are given as “g ai/ha.”


The treated plants and control plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and watered by sub-irrigation to prevent wash-off of the test compounds. After 20-22 d, the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the control plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury and 100 corresponds to complete kill.


The details of the compositions and the crops tested are specified in the following Examples.

Example 57

Compositions comprising Compound A (with the safener mefenpyr-diethyl instead of cloquintocet-mexyl), amidosulfuron, and iodosulfuron were tested to determine the efficacy of the compositions on undesirable vegetation species, including wild pansy (VIOTR, Viola tricolor), chickweed (STEME, Stellaria media), Canadian thistle (CIRAR, Cirsium arvense), broad-leaf dock (RUMOB, Rumex obtusifolius), spring rape (BRSNN, Brassica napus), kochia (KCHSC, Kochia scoparia), common sunflower (HELAN, Helianthus annuus), soybean (GLXMA, Glycine max), common lambsquarters (CHEAL, Chenopodium album L.), ivyleaf morningglory (IPOHE, Ipomoea hederacea), velvetleaf (ABUTH, Abutilon theophrasti), wild buckwheat (POLCO, Polygonum convolvulus), pigweed (AMARE, Amaranthus retroflexus), large crabgrass (DIGSA, Digitaria sanguinalis), giant foxtail (SETFA, Setaria faberi), blackgrass (ALOMY, Alopecurus myosuroides), Italian ryegrass (LOLMU, Lolium multiflorum), nutsedge (CYPES, Cyperus esculentus), grain sorghum (SORVU, Sorghum vulgare), wild oat (AVEFA, Avena fatua), and barnyard grass (ECHCG, Echinochloa crus-galli). The compositions were also tested on rice (ORYSA, Oryza sativa), spring wheat (TRZAS), and maize (ZEAMX, Zea mays), and the phytotoxicity of the compositions on each crop was measured


The results are summarized in Table 57 below. In the table, an application rate of “X+Y” indicates that the application rate of amidosulfuron is “X” and iodosulfuron is “Y.”
