The compounds of the invention show a good herbicidal activity against broad leaved weeds and grasses. A selective use of the compounds of the invention in various crops is possible for example in rape, beet, soya beans, cotton, rice, barley, wheat and other cereals. Individual active substances are particularly suitable as selective herbicides in beet, cotton, soya, maize and cereals. However the compounds can be used for control of weeds in permanent crops, such as for example forestry, ornamental trees, fruit, vine, citrus, nut, banana, coffee, tea, rubber, oil palm, cocoa, berry fruit and hop plantations.
The compounds of the invention can used for example against the following plant species:
Dicotyledonous weeds of the species: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria, Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Brassica, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus, Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia, Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Lamium, Veronica, Abutilon, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea and Chrysanthemum.
Monocotyledonous weeds of the species: Avena, Alopecurus, Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria, Poa, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Cyperus, Agropyron, Sagittaria, Monocharia, Fimbristylis, Eleocharis, Ischaemum and Apera.
The rates of use vary depending on the manner of pre- and postemergent use between 0.001 and 5 kg/ha.
The compounds of the invention can also be used as defoliants, desiccants and total herbicides.
The compounds of the invention can be used either alone or in admixture with one another or with other active agents. Optionally, other plant-protective agents or pesticides can be added, depending on the purpose for the treatment. When it is desired to broaden the spectrum of activity, other herbicides can also be added. Herbicidally active mixing partners suitable in this connection include for example, the active agents listed in Weed Abstracts, vol. 40, No. 1, 1991, under the heading "Lists of common names and abbreviations employed for currently used herbicides and plant growth regulators in Weed Abstracts".
An improvement in the intensity and speed of action can be obtained, for example, by addition of suitable adjuvants, such as organic solvents, wetting agents and oils. Such additives may allow a decrease in the dose.
The designated active ingredients or their mixtures can suitably be used, for example, as powders, dusts, granules, solutions, emulsions or suspensions, with the addition of liquid and/or solid carriers and/or diluents and, optionally, binding, wetting, emulsifying and,/or dispersing adjuvants.
Suitable liquid carriers are, for example aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexanone, isophorone, dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethylformamide and other mineral-oil fractions and plant oils.
Suitable solid carriers include mineral earths, e.g. bentonite, silica gel, talcum, kaolin, attapulgite, limestone, silicic acid and plant products, e.g. flours.
As surface-active agents there can be used for example calcium lignosulfonate, polyoxyethylenealkylphenyl ethers, naphthalenesulfonic acids and their salts, phenolsulfonic acids and their salts, formaldehyde condensates, fatty alcohol sulfates, as well as substituted benzenesulfonic acids and their salts.
The percentage of the active ingredient(s) in the various preparations can vary within wide limits. For example, the compositions can contain about 10 to 90 percent by weight active ingredients, and about 90 to 10 percent by weight liquid or solid carriers, as well as, optionally up to 20 percent by weight of surfactant.
The agents can be applied in customary fashion, for example with water as the carrier in spray mixture volumes of approximately 100 to 1,000 l/ha. The agents can be applied using low-volume or ultra-low-volume techniques or in the form of so-called microgranules.
The preparation of these formulations can be carried out in known manner, for example by milling or mixing processes. Optionally, individual components can be mixed just before use for example by the so-called commonly used tank-mixing method.
Formulations can be prepared, for example, from the following ingredients.
A) Wettable Powder
20 percent by weight active ingredient
35 percent by weight fuller's earth
8 percent by weight calcium lignosulfonate
2 percent by weight sodium salt of N-methyl-N-oleyltaurine
25 percent by weight silicic acid
B) Paste
45 percent by weight active ingredient
5 percent by weight sodium aluminium silicate
15 percent by weight cetyl polyglycol ether with 8 mole ethylene oxide
2 percent by weight spindle oil
10 percent by weight polyethylene glycol
23 percent by weight water
C) Emulsifiable Concentrate
20 percent by weight active ingredient
75 percent by weight isophorone
5 percent by weight of a mixture of the sodium salt of N-methyl-N-oleyltaurine and calcium lignosulfonate
