DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Synthesis
The compounds of Formula (I) can be prepared by one or more of the methods described below in Equations 1 to 3a.
As shown in Equation 1 below, compounds of Formula (I), where W" is O, can be prepared by reacting a sulfonamide of Formula (II) with an appropriate methyl carbamate of Formula (III) in the presence of an equimolar amount of trimethylaluminum, wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.13, Q and A are as previously defined. ##STR37##
The reaction of Equation 1 is best run in methylene chloride at about 25.degree. to 40.degree. C. for 10 to 96 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere. The product can be isolated by addition of an aqueous acetic acid solution followed by extraction of the product into methylene chloride, or by filtration of a product of low solubility. The product can be purified by trituration with solvents such as 1-chlorobutane, ethyl acetate or ethyl ether or by column chromatography on silica gel.
As shown in Equation 1a, many compounds of Formula (I), where W" is O, can also be prepared by reacting a sulfonylcarbamate of Formula (IIa) with an appropriate amine of Formula (VII). ##STR38## wherein
R.sub.1, R.sub.13, A and Q are as defined above; except R.sub.3 and R.sub.14 are H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl,
R.sub.5 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.2 alkyl, and R is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl.
The reaction is carried out at 50.degree.-100.degree. C. in a solvent such as dioxane for 0.5 to 24 hours as taught in EPO Publication No. 44807. The required carbamates IIa are prepared by reacting the corresponding sulfonamide II with diphenylcarbonate in the presence of a strong base.
Some of the compounds of Formula (I) can also be prepared as shown in Equation 2 below. ##STR39## wherein
Y' is CH.sub.3 or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 and R.sub.1, Q and Z are as originally defined, except R.sub.3 and R.sub.5 are not Cl or Br and R.sub.14 is not Cl.
The reactions of Equation 2 are run according to similar procedures taught in European Patent No. 30,140. Thus, in reaction 2a, a sulfonamide of Formula (II) is reacted with a dichloropyrimidinyl isocyanate or dichlorotriazinyl isocyanate of Formula (IV) in an inert solvent such as acetonitrile at reflux for 0.5 to 3 hours to form a sulfonylurea of Formula (V). The product is isolated by filtration. In reaction 2b, V is reacted with two mole equivalents of sodium methoxide or sodium ethoxide in tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree. to 25.degree. C. for about one hour, followed by acidification with hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 1, to form a sulfonylurea of Formula (Ia). The product is isolated by filtration. In reaction 2c, Ia is reacted with two mole equivalents of sodium methoxide in methanol at 25.degree. to about 50.degree. C. for about 1 hour, followed by acidification with hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 1, to form a sulfonylurea of Formula (Ib). Alternatively, as shown in reaction 2d, V can be reacted with at least three mole equivalents of sodium methoxide at 20.degree. to 50.degree. C. for about 1 hour, followed by acidification with hydrochloric acid to a pH of about 1, to provide Ic directly, where Y' of Ib is OCH.sub.3. The products of reactions 2c and 2d are isolated by addition of water and filtration.
The heterocyclic isocyanates of Formula (IV) in Equation 2 above can be prepared by methods described in Swiss No. 579,062, U.S. Pat. No. 3,919,228, U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,223 and Angew Chem. Int. Ed., 10, 402 (1976), the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference.
As shown in Equation 3 below, some of the compounds of Formula (I), where W" is O, can also be prepared by reacting a sulfonyl isocyanate of Formula (VI) with an amine of Formula (VII). ##STR40## wherein
R.sub.1, R.sub.13, Q and A are as originally defined.
The reaction of Equation 3 above can best be carried out in an inert, aprotic, organic solvent such as methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran or acetonitrile at ambient pressure and temperature. The mode of addition is not critical; however, it is often convenient to add the sulfonyl isocyanate to a stirred suspension of amine VII. The reaction is generally exothermic. In some cases, the desired product is insoluble in the warm reaction medium and crystallizes from it in pure form. Products soluble in the reaction medium are isolated by evaporation of the solvent, trituration of the solid residues with solvents such as 1-chlorobutane, ethyl ether, ethyl acetate or pentane and filtration. Impure products may be purified by column chromatography on silica gel.
Many of the intermediate sulfonyl isocyanates of Formula (VI) in Equation 3 above can be prepared, although often times in low yields, from sulfonamides by methods described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,238,621. The method requires reacting sulfonamides with phosgene, in the presence of n-butyl isocyanate and a tertiary amine catalyst, at reflux in a solvent such as xylene. A preferred catalyst is 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO).
Alternatively, many of the sulfonyl isocyanates VI can be prepared, although again in low yields, from sulfonamides by a two-step procedure. This consists of (1) reacting the sulfonamide with n-butyl isocyanate and a base such as potassium carbonate at reflux in an inert solvent such as 2-butanone to form a n-butyl sulfonylurea; and (2) reacting this compound with phosgene and DABCO catalyst at reflux in xylene solvent. This method is similar to a procedure taught by Ulrich and Sayigh, New Methods of Preparative Organic Chemistry, Vol. VI, p. 223-241, Academic Press, New York and London, W. Foerst Ed.
As shown in Equation 3a below, compounds of Formula (I), where W" is S, can be prepared by reacting sulfonamide II with an appropriate triazine or pyrimidine isothiocyanate of Formula (VIIj). ##STR41## wherein
R.sub.1, Q, X, Y and Z are as originally defined.
The reaction of Equation 3a is carried out by dissolving or suspending the sulfonamide and isothiocyanate in a polar solvent such as acetone, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate or methyl ethyl ketone, adding an equivalent of a base such as potassium carbonate and stirring the mixture at ambient temperature up to the reflux temperature for one to twenty-four hours as taught in EPO Publication No. 35,893. The required isothiocyanates VIIj are prepared according to the method of Japan Patent Application Pub:Kokai 51-143686, June 5, 1976, or that of W. Abraham and G. Barnikow, Tetrahedron, 29, 691 (1973).
As shown in Equation 4 below, intermediate sulfonamides of Formula (II) described above can be prepared from amines of Formula (VIII) by a two-step procedure. This consists of (4a) diazotizing VIII and coupling the diazonium salt with sulfur dioxide to form a sulfonyl chloride of Formula (IX); and (4b) aminating IX with ammonium hydroxide or anhydrous ammonia to form II. ##STR42## wherein
R.sub.1 and Q are as originally defined.
The reaction of Equation 4a is accomplished by treating a solution of amine VIII in a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and glacial acetic acid with a solution of sodium nitrite in water at -5.degree. to 5.degree. C. After stirring for 10-30 minutes at about 0.degree. C. to insure complete diazotization, the solution is added to a mixture of an excess of sulfur dioxide and a catalytic amount of cuprous chloride or cupric chloride in glacial acetic acid at about 10.degree. C. The temperature is kept at about 10.degree. C. for 1/4 to 1 hour, then raised to 20.degree. to 30.degree. C. and held at that temperature for 2 to about 24 hours. This solution is then poured into a large excess of ice water. The sulfonyl chloride IX can be isolated by filtration or by extraction into a solvent such as ethyl ether, methylene chloride or preferably, 1-chlorobutane, followed by evaporation of the solvent.
The amination described in the reaction of Equation 4b above is conveniently carried out by treating a solution of the sulfonyl chloride IX with at least two mole equivalents of anhydrous ammonia in a solvent such as ethyl ether or methylene chloride at -20.degree. to 30.degree. C. If the sulfonamide product II is insoluble, it may be isolated by filtration followed by washing out the salts with water. If product II is soluble in the reaction solution, it may be isolated by filtering off the precipitated ammonium chloride and evaporation of the solvent. Alternatively, many sulfonamides II can be prepared by reaction of corresponding sulfonyl chlorides IX with excess aqueous ammonium hydroxide in tetrahydrofuran at 0.degree. to about 40.degree. C. for 0.5 to 10 hours. The sulfonamide product II is isolated by evaporation of the tetrahydrofuran solvent, addition of water to the residue and filtration.
Alternatively, the intermediate sulfonyl chloride IXa can be prepared as shown below in Equation 4a. ##STR43##
According to Equation 4a, a lithium salt, prepared by reaction of 1-(2-bromophenyl)pyrazole with butyl lithium in ether at about -70.degree. C., is added to sulfuryl chloride in hexane at about -30.degree. to -20.degree. C. and stirred for 0.5 to 10 hours at -30.degree. to 30.degree. C. to yield sulfonyl chloride IXa, according to teachings of S. N. Bhattacharya et al., J. Chem. Soc. (C), 1265 (1968). Subsequent reaction of IXa with ammonia or ammonium hydroxide as described above provides the corresponding sulfonamide.
Starting with appropriate ortho-(heterocyclic)bromobenzenes, and carrying out the procedures described in Equation 4a, or simple modifications thereof, one skilled in the art may prepare some of the other sulfonyl chlorides of Formula (IX) described above. Of necessity, the reactions are limited to those cases in which the ortho-hetero group, Q, is inert to lithium reagents under the conditions of the reactions, which will be obvious to one skilled in the art. For a general review of metalation with lithium reagents, see H. W. Gschwend and H. R. Rodriguez, Org. Reactions, 26, 1 (1979).
Some of the amines of Formula (VIII) in Equation 4 above are known. For instance, 4-(2-aminophenyl)isothiazole may be prepared by the procedure of J. H. Finley, J. Heterocycl. Chem., 6, 841 (1969); 2-(2-aminophenyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole by the procedure of M. Ohta, J. Pharm. Soc. Japan, 73, 701 (1953); 2-(2-aminophenyl)-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole by the procedure of S.

The ortho-heteroaromatic nitrobenzenes of Formula (X) in Equation 5 above are important starting compounds for preparing the compounds I of this invention, which can be prepared by the following methods.
As shown in Equation 6 below, certain 5-(2-nitrophenyl)isoxazoles of Formula (Xa) can be prepared by reacting a 2-nitrophenyl alkyl ketone of Formula (XI) with an appropriate dimethylalkanamide dimethyl acetal of Formula (XII) to form a 3-dimethylamino-1-(2-nitrophenyl)-2-propen-1-one of Formula (XIII).

Commonly used starting materials containing nitrogen are N-aminoguanidine, hydrazine, alkylhydrazines, cyanamide, ethyl cyanoacetimidate, dimethyl cyanodithioimidocarbonate, dimethyl cyanoimidocarbonate, ethoxymethylenecyanamide, and acylhydrazines. Some literature synthesis are illustrated below. Using these techniques or suitable modifications that would be apparent to one skilled in the art, the 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole intermediates can be readily prepared.
Heating equimolar amounts of ethyl propionimidate hydrochloride and N-aminoguanidine nitrate in pyridine gives 3-amino-5-ethyltriazole; German Patent No. 1,073,499 (1960); Berichte, 96, 1064 (1963). ##STR115## Condensation of hydrazine with ethyl N-cyanoacetimidate yields 3-amino-5-methyltriazole; Journal of Organic Chemistry, 28, 1816 (1963). ##STR116## U.S. Pat.

Many of the aminoheterocyclic intermediates of Formula (VII) where R.sub.13 is methyl may be prepared by a two-step procedure as described for VIIi in Equation 71. ##STR120## wherein
X, Y and Z are as originally defined and
R.sub.13 is CH.sub.3.
A solution of the amine (XCI) in concentrated hydrochloric acid is treated with sodium nitrite solution and the chloro compound (XCII) is isolated in the usual manner by filtration of the acidic solution. A representative procedure is described by Bee and Rose in J. Chem. Soc. C, 2031 (1966), for the case in which Z=CH, and X=Y=OCH.sub.3. Displacement of the chlorine of (XCII) may be accomplished by heating with an excess of methylamine in water to obtain the methylamino heterocycle (VIIi).
Equation 72 below illustrates the preparation of the required methyl pyrimidinyl carbamates and methyl triazinyl carbamates of Formula (III) in Equation 1. By obvious modifications, other methyl carbamates of Formula (III) may be prepared by this method by one skilled in the art. ##STR121## wherein
X, Y, Z and R.sub.13 are as originally defined.
According to Equation 72, a heterocyclic amine is reacted with two equivalents of sodium hydride and excess dimethyl carbonate to form IIIa. The reaction is run in an inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran at 25.degree. C. to reflux for 1 to 24 hours. The product is isolated by (a) adding about two equivalents of concentrated hydrochloric acid under nitrogen at 0.degree. to 30.degree. C.; (b) filtering; and (c) separating out the organic phase, then drying (sodium sulfate and/or magnesium sulfate) and concentrating to dryness in vacuo. The product IIIa may be purified further by recrystallization or chromatography procedures.
Agriculturally suitable salts of compounds of Formula I are also useful herbicides and can be prepared in a number of ways known to the art. For example, metal salts can be made by contacting compounds of Formula I with a solution of an alkali or alkaline earth metal salt having a sufficiently basic anion (e.g., hydroxide, alkoxide, carbonate or hydroxide). Quaternary amine salts can be made by similar techniques.
Salts of compounds of Formula I can also be prepared by exchange of one cation to another. Cationic exchange can be effected by direct treatment of an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., alkali metal or quaternary amine salt) with a solution containing the cation to be exchanged. This method is most effective when the desired salt containing the exchanged cation is insoluble in water, e.g., a copper salt, and can be separated by filtration.
Exchange may also be effected by passing an aqueous solution of a salt of a compound of Formula I (e.g., an alkali metal or quaternary amine salt) through a column packed with a cation exchange resin containing the cation to be exchanged. In this method, the cation of the resin is exchanged for that of the original salt and the desired product is eluted from the column. This method is particularly useful when the desired salt is water-soluble, e.g., a potassium, sodium or calcium salt.
Acid addition salts, useful in this invention, can be obtained by reacting a compound of Formula I with a suitable acid, e.g., p-toluenesulfonic acid, trichloroacetic acid or the like.

Formulations
Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from a few liters to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 0.1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of (a) about 0.1% to 20% surfactant(s) and (b) about 1% to 99.9% solid or liquid inert diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:
TABLE VIII______________________________________ Active Weight Percent* Ingredient Diluent(s) Surfactant(s)______________________________________Wettable Powders 20-90 0-74 1-10Oil Suspensions, 3-50 40-95 0-15Emulsions, Solutions,(including EmulsifiableConcentrates)Aqueous Suspension 10-50 40-84 1-20Dusts 1-25 70-99 0-5Granules and Pellets 0.1-95 5-99.9 0-15High Strength 90-99 0-10 0-2Compositions______________________________________ *Active ingredient plus at least one of a Surfactant or a Diluent equals 100 weight percent.
Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.
Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, New Jersey, but other solids, either mined or manufactured, may be used. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0.degree. C. "McCutecheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, New Jersey, as well as Sisely and Wood, "Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents", Chemical Publishing Co., Inc., New York, 1964, list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foaming, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, etc.
The methods of making such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer or fluid energy mill. Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example, Littler, U.S. Pat. No.3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 5th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1973, pp. 8-57ff.

Utility
The compounds of the present invention are powerful herbicides. They have utility for broad-spectrum pre- and/or post-emergence weed control in areas where complete control of all vegetation is desired, such as around fuel storage tanks, ammunition depots, industrial storage areas, parking lots, drive-in theaters, around billboards, highway and railroad structures. Alternatively, the subject compounds are useful for the selective pre- or post-emergence weed control in crops, such as wheat, barley, rice, soybeans and corn.
The rates of application for the compounds of the invention are determined by a number of factors, including their use as selective or general herbicides, the crop species involved, the types of weeds to be controlled, weather and climate, formulations selected, mode of application, amount of foliage present, etc. In general terms, the subject compounds should be applied at levels in the range of about 0.01 to 2 kg/ha, the lower rates being suggested for use on lighter soils and/or those having a low organic matter content, for selective weed control or for situations where only short-term persistence is required.
The compounds of the invention may be used in combination with any other commercial herbicide examples of which are those of the triazine, triazole, uracil, urea, amide, diphenylether, carbamate and bipyridylium types.
The herbicidal properties of the subject compounds were discovered in a number of greenhouse tests. The test procedures and results follow.
Test A
Seeds of crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), barnyard-grass (Echinochloa crusgalli), wild oats (Avena fatua), sicklepod (Cassia obtusilfolia), morningglory (Ipomoea sp.), cocklebur (Xanthium sp.), sorghum, corn, soybean, rice, wheat and nutsedge tubers (Cyperus rotundus) were planted in a growth medium and treated pre-emergence with a non-phytotoxic solvent solution of the compounds of Table A. At the same time, cotton having five leaves (including cotyledonary ones), bush beans with the third trifoliolate leaf expanding, crabgrass, barnyardgrass and wild oats with two leaves, sicklepod with three leaves (including cotyledonary ones), morningglory and cocklebur with four leaves (including the cotyledonary ones), sorghum and corn with four leaves, soybean with two cotyledonary leaves, rice with three leaves, wheat with one leaf, and nutsedge with three-five leaves were sprayed with a non-phytotoxic solvent solution of the compounds of Table A. Other containers of the above-mentioned weeds and crops were treated pre- or post-emergence with the same non-phytotoxic solvent so as to provide a solvent control. A set of untreated control plants was also included for comparison. Pre-emergence and post-emergence treated plants and controls were maintained in a greenhouse for sixteen days, then all treated plants were compared with their respective controls and rated visually for response to treatment.
The following rating system was used:
O=no effect;
10=maximum effect;
C=chlorosis or necrosis;
D=defoliation;
E=emergence inhibition;
G=growth retardation;
H=formative effects;
I=increased chlorophyl;
P=terminal bud kill;
S=albinism;
U=unusual pigmentation;
X=axillary stimulation;
6F=delayed flowering; and
6Y=abscised buds or flowers.
The ratings are summarized in Table A. The compounds tested are highly active herbicides. Certain of the compounds have utility for weed control in wheat. ##STR184##

Test B
Two plastic bulb pans were filled with fertilized and limed Fallsington silt loam or Woodstown sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with corn, sorghum, Kentucky bluegrass and several grassy weeds. The other pan was planted with cotton, soybeans, purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), and several broadleaf weeds. The following grassy and broadleaf weeds were planted: crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), wild oats (Avena fatua), johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), dallisgrass (Paspalum dilatatum), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), mustard (Brassica arvensis), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), teaweed (Sida spinosa), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), and jimsonweed (Datura stramonium). A 12.5 cm diameter plastic pot was also filled with prepared soil and planted with rice and wheat. Another 12.5 cm pot was planted with sugar beets. The above four containers were treated pre-emergence with several test compounds within the scope of the invention.
Twenty-eight days after treatment, the plants were evaluated and visually rated for response to the chemical treatments utilizing the rating system described previously for Test A. The data are summarized in Table B. Note that the compounds are highly active herbicides, and that several of them have utility for selective weed control in crops such as wheat or soybeans (e.g., see Compound Nos. 22, 23 and 24).

Test C
Two ten-inch in diameter plastic pans lined with polyethylene liners were filled with prepared Woodstown sandy loam soil. One pan was planted with seeds of wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), wild oats (Avena fatua), downy brome (Bromus tectorum), cheatgrass (Bromus secalinus), blackgrass (Alopecurus myosuroides), annual bluegrass (Poa annua), green foxtail (Setaria viridis), quackgrass (Agropyron repens), Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) and ripgut brome (Bromus rigidus). The other pan was planted with seeds of Russian thistle (Salsola kali), tansy mustard (Descuraina pinnata), Galium aparine, tumble mustard (Sisymbrium altissium) kochia (Kochia scoparia), shepherd's purse (Capsella bursapastoris), Matricaria inodora, black nightshade (Solanum nigrum), yellow rocket (Barbarea vulgaris), wild mustard (Brassica kaber) or rapeseed and wild buckwheat (Polygonum convolvulus). Sometimes Veronica persica was included among the test species. The above two pans were treated pre-emergence. At the same time two pans in which the above plant species were growing were treated post-emergence. Plant height at the time of treatment ranged from 1-15 cm depending on plant species.
The compounds applied were diluted with a nonphytotoxic solvent and sprayed over-the-top of the pans. An untreated control and a solvent alone control were included for comparison. The treatments were maintained in the greenhouse for 20 days at which time the treatments were compared to the controls and the effects visually rated. The recorded data are presented in Table C. It will be seen that the compounds have utility for weed control in cereal crops, such as wheat and barley.

Test D
The test chemicals, dissolved in a non-phytotoxic solvent, were applied in an overall spray to the foliage and surrounding soil of selected plant species. One day after treatment, plants were observed for rapid burn injury. Approximately fourteen days after treatment, all species were visually compared to untreated controls and rated for response to treatment. The rating system was as described previously for Test A. The data are presented in Table D.
All plant species were seeded in Woodstown sandy loam soil and grown in a greenhouse. The following species were grown in soil contained in plastic pots (25 cm diameter by 13 cm deep): soybeans, cotton, alfalfa, corn, rice, wheat, sorghum, velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti), sesbania (Sesbania exaltata), Sicklepod (Cassia obtusifolia), morningglory (Ipomoea hederacea), jimsonweed (Datura stramonium), cocklebur (Xanthium pensylvanicum), crabgrass (Digitaria sp.), nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crusgalli), giant foxtail (Setaria faberii) and wild oats (Avena fatua). The following species were grown in soil in a paper cup (12 cm diameter by 13 cm deep): sunflower, sugar beets, and mustard or rape. All plants were sprayed approximately 14 days after planting. Additional plant species such as johnsongrass and bindweed are sometimes added to this standard test in order to evaluate unusual selectivity.
Several of the compounds tested by this procedure are useful for post-emergence control of weeds in crops such as rice, wheat, soybeans (see Compound No. 22) and corn (see Compound Nos. 7 and 23).

Test E
This test was designed to evaluate the potential utility of compounds from within the scope of the invention for selective weed control in rice. The crop was transplanted into simulated paddies containing soil and propagules of barnyardgrass (Echinochloa sp.), water chestnut (Eleocharis sp.), and arrowhead (Sagittaria sp.). Three days after transplanting, the test chemicals were applied to the paddy water in a non-phytotoxic solvent at the rates shown in Table E. The paddies were maintained in a greenhouse, and plant response ratings were taken several weeks after application utilizing the rating system as described for Test A. Several of the compounds tested have potential utility for selective weed control in rice.
