Claims
- 1. A 3-phenoxypyrazole or agronomically acceptable salt thereof wherein: the phenyl ring has a para halo or cyano substituent and has a meta substituent having a molecular weight of less than 300 and selected from alkoxy, haloalkoxy, di(alkoxy), alkoxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonylalkoxy, aminocarbonylalkoxy, alkylsulfonylaminocarbonylalkoxy, alkylamino, hydroxyalkylamino, alkoxyamino, alkoxyalkylamino, hydroxycarbonylalkylamino, and alkoxycarbonylalkoxyimino; and the pyrazole ring has a methyl, ethyl, halomethyl or haloethyl substituent in the 1-position; a halo or methyl substituent in the 4-position; and a chloro, cyano, halomethyl, haloethyl, methylthio, ethylthio, methylsulfinyl, ethylsulfinyl, methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl or methoxymethyl substituent in the 5-position.
- 2. A herbicidal composition comprising an adjuvant and an effective amount of a 3-phenoxypyrazole or agronomically acceptable salt thereof wherein: the phenyl ring has a para halo or cyano substituent and has a meta substituent having a molecular weight of less than 300 and selected from alkoxy, haloalkoxy, di(alkoxy), alkoxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonylalkoxy, aminocarbonylalkoxy, alkylsulfonylaminocarbonylalkoxy, alkylamino, hydroxyalkylamino, alkoxyamino, alkoxyalkylamino, hydroxycarbonylalkylamino, and alkoxycarbonylalkoxyimino; and the pyrazole ring has a methyl, ethyl, halomethyl or haloethyl substituent in the 1-position; a halo or methyl substituent in the 4-position; and a chloro, cyano, halomethyl, haloethyl, methylthio, ethylthio, methylsulfinyl, ethylsulfinyl, methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl or methoxymethyl substituent in the 5-position.
- 3. A method of controlling the growth of undesirable vegetation comprising applying to the plant locus an effective amount of a 3-phenoxypyrazole or agronomically acceptable salt thereof wherein: the phenyl ring has a para halo or cyano substituent and has a meta substituent having a molecular weight of less than 300 and selected from alkoxy, haloalkoxy, di(alkoxy), alkoxycarbonyl, alkoxycarbonylalkoxy, aminocarbonylalkoxy, alkylsulfonylaminocarbonylalkoxy, alkylamino, hydroxyalkylamino, alkoxyamino, alkoxyalkylamino, hydroxycarbonylalkylamino, and alkoxycarbonylalkoxyimino; and the pyrazole ring has a methyl, ethyl, halomethyl or haloethyl substituent in the 1-position; a halo or methyl substituent in the 4-position; and a chloro, cyano, halomethyl, haloethyl, methylthio, ethylthio, methylsulfinyl, ethylsulfinyl, methylsulfonyl, ethylsulfonyl or methoxymethyl substituent in the 5-position.
