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.

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) a synthetic auxin herbicide, an auxin transport inhibitor, agriculturally acceptable salts or esters thereof, or combinations 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.
