The compounds I or the herbicidal compositions comprising them can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence, or together with seeds of crops. It is also possible to apply the herbicidal compositions or active compounds by applying seeds of crops that are pretreated with the herbicidal compositions or active compounds. If the active compounds are less well tolerated by certain crops, application techniques may be used in which the herbicidal compositions are sprayed, with the aid of the spraying equipment, in such a way that as far as possible they do not come into contact with the leaves of the sensitive crops, while the active ingredients reach the leaves of undesirable plants growing underneath, or the bare soil surface.
In a further embodiment, the compounds of the formula I or the herbicidal compositions comprising the same can be applied by treating seeds.
The treatment for seeds comprises essentially all procedures familiar to the person skilled in the art (seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking, seed film coating, seed multilayer coating, seed encrusting, seed dripping and seed pelleting) based on the compounds of the formula I according to the present disclosure or the compositions prepared therefrom. Here, the diluted or undiluted herbicidal compositions can be applied.
The term “seed” comprises seed of all types, such as, for example, grains, seeds, fruits, tubers, cuttings, and similar forms. Here, preferably, the term “seed” describes grains and seeds.
The seed used can be seed of the useful plants mentioned above, but also the seed of transgenic plants or plants obtained by customary breeding methods.
The active compound is applied at a rate of from 0.001 to 3.0 kg/ha, preferably 0.01 to 1.0 kg/ha, of active substance (a.s.), depending on the control target, the season, the target plants and the growth stage. To treat the seed, the compounds I are generally employed in amounts from 0.001 to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed. It may also be advantageous to use the compounds of the formula I in combination with safeners. Safeners are compounds which prevent or reduce damage to useful plants without substantially affecting the herbicidal action of the compounds of the formula I on unwanted plants. They can be used both before sowing (for example in the treatment of seed, or on cuttings or seedlings) and before or after the emergence of the useful plant.
The safeners and the compounds of the formula I can be used simultaneously or in succession. Suitable safeners are, for example, (quinolin-8-oxy)acetic acids, 1-phenyl-5-haloalkyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acids, 1-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-5-alkyl-1H-pyrazole-3,5-dicarboxylic acids, 4,5-dihydro-5,5-diaryl-3-isoxazole carboxylic acids, dichloroacetamides, α-oximinophenylacetonitriles, acetophenone oximes, 4,6-dihalo-2-phenylpyimidines, N-[[4-(aminocarbonyl)phenyl]sulfonyl]-2-benzamides, 1,8-naphthalic anhydride, 2-halo-4-haloalkyl-5-thiazole carboxylic acids, phosphorothioates and O-phenyl N-alkylcarbamates and their agriculturally acceptable salts, and their agriculturally acceptable derivatives, such as amides, esters and thioesters, provided that they have acidic functional groups.
To broaden the activity spectrum and to obtain synergistic effects, the compounds of the formula I can be mixed and jointly applied with numerous representatives of other herbicidal or growth-regulating active compounds, or with safeners. Suitable mixing partners are, for example, 1,2,4-thiadiazoles, 1,3,4-thiadiazoles, amides, aminophosphoric acid and its derivatives, aminotriazoles, anilides, aryloxy/heteroaryloxyalkanoic acids and their derivatives, benzoic acid and its derivatives, benzothiadiazine ketones, 2-hetaroyl/aroyl-1,3-cyclohexanediones, heteroaryl aryl ketones, benzylisoxazole alkyl ketones, meta-CF3-phenyl derivatives, carbamates, quinoline carboxylic acid and its derivatives, chloroacetanilides, cyclohexenone oxime ether derivates, diazines, dichloropropionic acid and its derivatives, dihydrobenzofurans, dihydrofuran-3-ones, dinitroanilines, dinitrophenols, diphenyl ethers, dipyridyls, halocarboxylic acids and their derivatives, ureas, 3-phenyluracils, imidazoles, imidazolinones, N-phenyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalimides, oxadiazoles, oxiranes, phenols, aryloxy- and heteroaryloxyphenoxypropionic esters, phenylacetic acid and its derivatives, 2-phenylpropionic acid and its derivatives, pyrazoles, phenylpyrazoles, pyridazines, pyridinecarboxylic acid and its derivatives, pyrimidyl ethers, sulfonamides, sulfonylureas, triazines, triazinones, triazolinones, triazolecarboxamides, uracils, phenylpyrazolines, and isoxazolines and their derivatives.
Moreover, it may be useful to apply the compounds I alone or in combination with other herbicides or else also mixed with other crop protection agents, jointly, for example with compositions for controlling pests or phytopathogenic fungi or bacteria. Also of interest is the miscibility with mineral salt solutions which are employed for alleviating nutritional and trace element deficiencies. Other additives such as nonphytotoxic oils and oil concentrates may also be added.

The compounds I and the compositions according to the present disclosure may also have a plant-strengthening action. Accordingly, they are suitable for mobilizing the defense system of the plants against attack by unwanted microorganisms, such as harmful fungi, but also viruses and bacteria.
Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning, in the present context, those substances which are capable of stimulating the defense system of treated plants in such a way that, when subsequently inoculated by unwanted microorganisms, the treated plants display a substantial degree of resistance to these microorganisms.
The compounds I can be employed for protecting plants against attack by unwanted microorganisms within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time within which their protection is effected generally extends from 1 to 28 days, preferably from 1 to 14 days, after the treatment of the plants or after the treatment of the seed with the compounds I, for up to 9 months after sowing.
The compounds I and the compositions according to the present disclosure are also suitable for increasing the harvest yield.
Hereinbelow, the compounds of the formula I are illustrated by way of examples, without limiting the subject matter of the present disclosure to the examples shown.

The herbicidal activity of the compounds of the formula I was demonstrated by the following greenhouse experiments:
The culture containers used were plastic flowerpots containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0% of humus as the substrate. The seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species.
For the pre-emergence treatment, the active ingredients, which had been suspended or emulsified in water, were applied directly after sowing by means of finely distributing nozzles. The containers were irrigated gently to promote germination and growth and subsequently covered with transparent plastic hoods until the plants had rooted. This covering caused uniform germination of the test plants, unless this has been impaired by the active compounds.
For the post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first grown to a height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on the plant habit, and then, only at this time, treated with the active ingredients which had been suspended or emulsified in water. For this purpose, the test plants were either sown directly or grown in the same containers, or they were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test containers a few days prior to treatment.
Depending on the species, the plants were kept at 10 to 25° C. or at 20 to 35° C. The test period extended over 2 to 4 weeks. During this time, the plants were tended, and their response to the individual treatments was evaluated.
Evaluation was carried out using a score from 0 to 100. 100 means no emergence of the plants, or complete destruction of at least the part on the ground, and 0 means no damage, or normal course of growth. A good herbicidal activity is given at a score of at least 70 and a very good herbicidal activity is given at a score of at least 85.
The plants used in the greenhouse experiments belonged to the following species:
Amaranthus retroflexus
Chenopodium album
Echinochloa
crus-galli
Galium aparine
Alopercurus myosuroides
Eleusine indica
Poa annua

At an application rate of 0.5 kg/ha, the compound I-I-1 applied by the post-emergence method showed very good herbicidal activity against Echinochloa crus-galli (ECHCG).
At an application rate of 0.5 kg/ha, the compound I-1-1 applied by the post-emergence method showed very good herbicidal activity against Alopercurus myosuroides (ALOMY).
At an application rate of 0.5 kg/ha, the compound I-I-1 applied by the post-emergence method showed very good herbicidal activity against Poa annua (POAAN).
