The present invention further relates to methods for controlling undesirable vegetation in burndown programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, vegetable and perennial crops, and turf and lawn. [Background technology]

[0002] Burndown, i.e., the complete removal of weeds from the soil by application of herbicides before crop planting or pre-emergence, is an important tool in modern weed management. Weeds present at planting generally outgrow the crop and thus compete very early in the growing season, thereby damaging the crop and reducing crop yield. Therefore, it is desirable to plant the crop in a weed-free seedbed or to ensure that the crop is essentially weed-free when it emerges. Burndown can also entail weed control in fallow fields.

[0003] In industrial weed management and forestry, it is desirable to control a wide range of weeds over a long period of time. It may also be desirable to control large weeds or taller species such as shrubs or trees. Industrial weed management includes, for example, railroad and highway right-of-way management, fence lines, and non-cultivated areas (for example, industrial and construction sites, gravel areas, roads or sidewalks, etc.). Forestry includes, for example, the removal of existing forests or shrublands, the removal of regeneration after mechanical deforestation, or the control of weeds under forestry plantations. In the latter case, it may be desirable to shield the desired trees from contact with the spray solution containing the herbicide mixture according to the present invention.

[0004] Vegetable crops include, for example, eggplant, beans, peppers, cabbage, chilies, cucumbers, eggplant, lettuce, melons, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, etc. For weed control in vegetable crops, it may be desirable to shield the crops from contact with spray solutions containing the herbicidal mixtures according to the invention.

[0005] Perennial crops include tree, nut, and vine crops such as almonds, apples, apricots, avocados, cashews, cherries, Christmas trees, durian, oranges, dragon fruit, grapes, guavas, longans, mangoes, olives, papayas, peaches, pears and other pome fruits, pistachios, plums, pomegranates, pomelos, and quince, as well as citrus crops such as clementines, grapefruits, lemons, limes, mandarins, and nectarines, and also nut crops such as hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and walnuts; and plantation crops such as bananas, cocoa, coconuts, coffee, oil palm, pepper and other seeds, plantain, rubber, sugarcane, and tea. Also included are ornamental plants and nurseries such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and roses. For weed control in perennial crops, it may be desirable to shield these crops from contact with spray solutions containing herbicidal mixtures according to the invention.

[0006] Compositions according to the invention can also be used for weed control in turf and lawn, provided that the desired grass species are tolerant to the herbicidal mixtures. In particular, such mixtures can be used in desired grasses that have been made tolerant to glufosinate by mutagenesis or genetic engineering.

[0007] Glufosinate and its salts are non-selective systemic herbicides that have excellent post-emergence activity against many weeds and can therefore be used in burndown programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, vegetable and perennial crops, and turf and lawn. However, single applications of glufosinate often result in insufficient weed control, and multiple applications and / or high doses are often required. Furthermore, the effectiveness of glufosinate against some weeds is not completely sufficient.

[0008] Therefore, it is often recommended to apply glufosinate in combination with at least one additional herbicide.However, the effectiveness of such combinations is often insufficient, and high application rates are still required to achieve acceptable weed control.In addition, the reliability and durability of such combinations are highly dependent on weathering conditions, and it is certainly difficult to control weed species that may escape.In addition, the herbicidal activity of these mixtures only lasts for a short time, so effective burndown is only possible within a short time frame before planting crops.

[0009] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a herbicidal mixture that allows for efficient and reliable control of grass weeds and broadleaf weeds in burndown programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, vegetable and perennial crops, and turf and lawn. Furthermore, the duration of herbicidal activity of the mixture should be long enough to achieve weed control over a sufficient period of time, thereby allowing for more flexible application. The mixture should also have low toxicity to humans or other mammals. The mixture should also exhibit rapid action against harmful plants, i.e., the mixture should cause damage to harmful plants more quickly than the application of the individual herbicides.

[0010] Glufosinate is a racemate of two enantiomers, only one of which exhibits sufficient herbicidal activity (see, for example, US 4265654 and JP92448 / 83). Various methods are known for preparing L-glufosinate (and respective salts), but mixtures known in the art do not specify the stereochemistry, implying that a racemate exists (e.g., WO2013154396).

[0078] The resulting pesticidal mixture generally contains 0.01 to 95% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 90% by weight, in particular 0.5 to 75% by weight, of the active substance. The active substance is used in a purity of 90% to 100%, preferably 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectroscopy).

[0079] For the treatment of plant propagation materials (especially seeds), seed treatment solutions (LS), suspoemulsions (SE), flowable concentrates (FS), dry treatment powders (DS), water-dispersible slurry powders (WS), water-soluble powders (SS), emulsions (ES), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and gels (GF) are commonly used. The mixtures, after 2- to 10-fold dilution, provide active substance concentrations of 0.01 to 60% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 40% by weight, in ready-to-use preparations. Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying the mixtures of the present invention and their mixtures to plant propagation materials (especially seeds) include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking, and in-furrow application. Preferably, the mixtures of the present invention or mixtures thereof are applied to the plant propagation material by a method that does not induce germination, such as seed dressing, seed pelleting, seed coating and seed dusting, respectively.

[0080] The present invention also relates to herbicidal formulations comprising the herbicidally active mixture as defined herein and at least one carrier material, such as a liquid and / or solid carrier material.

[0081] Various types of oils, wetting agents, adjuvants, fertilizers or micronutrients, and further pesticides (e.g. herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, growth regulators, safeners) can be added as premixes to the active substances or the mixtures according to the invention containing them, or, if appropriate, can be added just before use (tank mix). These agents can be mixed with the mixtures according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:10 to 10:1.

[0082] The user typically applies the mixture according to the invention from a predosage device, a backpack sprayer, a spray tank, a spray plane, or an irrigation system. Typically, the pesticidal mixture is brought to the desired application concentration with water, buffers, and / or further auxiliaries, thus obtaining a ready-to-use spray solution or pesticidal mixture according to the invention. Typically, 20 to 2000 liters, preferably 50 to 400 liters, of the ready-to-use spray solution are applied per hectare of agriculturally useful area.

[0083] As outlined above, the present invention also relates to the use of the mixtures defined herein for controlling undesirable vegetation in burndown programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, vegetable crops and perennial crops, and turf and lawn, wherein the mixtures of the present invention can be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence, i.e., before, during and / or after the emergence of undesirable plants. Preferred is application as a post-emergence treatment (i.e., during and / or after the emergence of undesirable plants). Here, the mixtures of the present invention are applied to the location where the crop is to be planted before planting or emergence of the crop.

[0084] Therefore, the present invention also relates to a method for burndown treatment of undesirable vegetation in a crop, comprising applying the mixture of the present invention to the locus where the crop is to be planted before planting (or sowing) or emergence of the crop, wherein the mixture of the present invention is applied to the undesirable vegetation or its locus.

[0085] The present invention therefore relates to a method for controlling undesirable vegetation in this way, which method comprises applying a mixture of the present invention to a location where undesirable vegetation is present or expected to be present, wherein application can be carried out before, during and / or after emergence of the undesirable vegetation, preferably during and / or after emergence.

[0086] As used herein, the terms "control" and "eliminate" are synonymous.

[0087] As used herein, the terms "undesirable vegetation," "undesirable species," "undesirable plants," "harmful plants," "undesirable weeds," or "noxious weeds" are synonyms.

[0088] As used herein, the term "locus" means an area, typically a field, where vegetation or plants are growing or will grow.

[0089] In such a burn-down program, the mixture of the present invention can be applied before sowing (planting) the crop or after sowing (or planting), but is applied before crop emergence, particularly before sowing. The mixture of the present invention is preferably applied before sowing the crop. For burn-down, the mixture of the present invention will generally be applied up to 9 months, often up to 6 months, preferably up to 4 months before planting the crop. Burn-down application can be carried out up to 1 day before crop emergence, preferably the day before sowing / planting the crop, preferably at least 1 day, preferably at least 2 days, particularly at least 4 days before planting, or 6 months to 1 day before emergence, particularly 4 months to 2 days before emergence, more preferably 4 months to 4 days before emergence. Of course, within that time frame, burn-down application can be repeated one or more times, for example 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.

[0090] A particular advantage of the mixtures of the present invention is that they have excellent post-emergence herbicidal activity, i.e., they exhibit excellent herbicidal activity against emerged undesirable plants. Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mixtures of the present invention are applied post-emergence, i.e., during and / or after the emergence of undesirable plants. It is particularly advantageous to apply the mixtures of the present invention after emergence, after the undesirable plants begin to develop leaves but before flowering. The mixtures of the present invention are particularly useful for controlling undesirable vegetation that has already developed to a state where it is difficult to control with conventional burndown mixtures (i.e., when individual weeds are greater than 10 cm (4 inches) or even greater than 15 cm (6 inches)) and / or against dense weed populations.

[0091] For the post-emergence treatment of plants, the mixtures of the invention are preferably applied by foliar application.

[0092] If the active compounds I and II are not well tolerated by a particular crop, the application technique can be used in which the herbicidal composition is sprayed using a spraying device in such a way that the active compounds reach the leaves of undesirable plants growing under the crop or the soil surface in the open field, but do not come into contact with the leaves of sensitive crops as much as possible (post-directed, lay-by).In addition, a spray shield can also be used.

[0093] Application can be carried out, for example, by conventional spraying techniques using water as a carrier, typically using spray mixture volumes of 10 to 2000 L / ha, in particular 50 to 1000 L / ha. The required application rate of the mixture of pure active compounds depends on the density of undesired vegetation, the developmental stage of the plants, the climatic conditions of the area where the mixture is used, and the application method. Generally, the application rate of the mixture is 55 to 6000 g / ha, preferably 100 to 5000 g / ha, 200 to 4000 g / ha, more preferably 300 to 3000 g / ha of active ingredient (AI).

[0094] When using the mixture of the present invention in the method of the present invention, the active compounds that exist in the mixture of the present invention can be simultaneously or successively applied to the place where undesirable vegetation may occur.Here, it is not important whether the individual compounds that exist in the mixture of the present invention are formulated together or separately formulated, and whether they are applied together or separately, and also, when applied separately, in what order they are applied.All that is required is that the individual compounds that exist in the mixture of the present invention are applied within the time frame that allows the simultaneous action of active ingredients on undesirable plants.

[0095] As noted above, the mixtures of the present invention have several advantages, namely enhanced herbicidal activity, when compared to mixtures of racemic glufosinate and herbicide Compound II.

[0096] Furthermore, the mixtures of the present invention exhibit sustained herbicidal activity even under severe weathering conditions, which allows for more flexible application in burndown applications and minimizes the risk of weed escape. In addition, the mixtures of the present invention exhibit excellent crop compatibility with certain conventional and herbicide-resistant crops, i.e., the use of the mixtures of the present invention in these crops results in reduced crop damage and / or no increased crop damage. Therefore, the mixtures of the present invention can also be applied after crop emergence. The mixtures of the present invention can also exhibit rapid action against harmful plants, i.e., the mixtures of the present invention can cause more rapid damage to harmful plants compared to mixtures of racemic glufosinate and herbicide compound II.

The mixtures of the present invention are generally suitable for the burning down of undesirable vegetation in fields of the following crops: - Cereal crops, e.g. - wheat (Triticum aestivum) and wheat-like crops, for example durum wheat (T. durum), einkorn (T. monococcum), emmer wheat (T. dicoccon) and spelt (T. spelta), cereals (small grain crops) such as rye (Secale cereale), triticale (Tritiosecale), barley (Hordeum vulgare); - maize (corn; Zea mays); - Sorghum (e.g. Sorghum bicolor); - rice (Oryza spp., e.g. Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima); and - sugar cane etc. - legumes (Fabaceae), such as soybeans (Glycine max), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), and cereals such as peas (Pisum sativum), pigeon peas and cowpeas, beans (Vicia faba), Vigna spp. and Phaseolus spp., and lentils (Lens culinaris var.); - Brassicaceae, such as canola (Brassica napus), rapeseed (OSR, Brassica napus), cabbage (B. oleracea var.), mustard (e.g. B. juncea), B. campestris, B. narinosa, B. nigra and B. tournefortii; and turnip (Brassica rapa var.); - other broadleaf crops, such as sunflower, cotton, flax, linseed, sugar beet, potato and tomato; - TNV crops (TNV: trees, nuts and vines), such as grapes, citrus fruits, pome fruits (e.g. apples and pears, coffee, pistachios and oil palm), stone fruits (e.g. peaches, almonds, walnuts, olives, cherries, plums and apricots); - Turf, pasture and rangeland; - Onion and garlic; - bulbous ornamental plants, such as tulips and daffodils; - coniferous and deciduous trees, such as pine, fir, oak, maple, dogwood, hawthorn, crabapple, and buckthorn; and - Garden ornamental plants such as roses, petunias, marigolds and snapdragons.

[0102] The mixtures of the present invention are particularly suitable for burning down undesirable vegetation in the fields of the following crops: small grain crops (such as wheat, barley, rye, triticale and durum wheat, rice, etc.), corn, sugarcane, sorghum, soybeans, linseed crops (such as peas, beans and lentils), peanuts, sunflowers, sugar beets, potatoes, cotton, cruciferous crops (such as rapeseed, canola, mustard, cabbage and turnips), turf, pasture. , pasture, grapes, pome fruits (e.g. apples and pears), stone fruits (e.g. peaches, almonds, walnuts, pecans, olives, cherries, plums and apricots), citrus fruits, coffee, pistachios, garden ornamentals (e.g. roses, petunias, marigolds, snapdragons), bulb ornamentals (e.g. tulips and daffodils), coniferous and deciduous trees (e.g. pine, fir, oak, maple, dogwood, hawthorn, crabapple and buckthorn).

[0103] The mixtures of the present invention are most suitable for burning down undesirable vegetation in the fields of the following crops: small grain crops such as wheat, barley, rye, triticale and durum wheat, rice, corn, sugarcane, soybeans, linseeds (such as peas, beans and lentils), peanuts, sunflowers, cotton, cruciferous crops (such as rapeseed, canola), turf, pasture, rangeland, grapes, stone fruits (such as peaches, almonds, walnuts, pecans, olives, cherries, plums and apricots), citrus fruits and pistachios.

[0104] The present invention further relates to the use of the mixtures as defined herein for controlling undesirable vegetation in crops in burn-down programs, wherein the crops produced by genetic engineering or breeding are resistant to one or more herbicides and / or pathogens such as plant pathogenic fungi and / or to attack by insects; preferably resistant to glufosinate.

[0105] Thus, as used in the present invention, the term "crop plant" as used herein also encompasses (crop) plants that have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering to provide the plant with new traits or to modify traits that are already present.

[0106] Mutagenesis includes techniques such as random mutagenesis using, for example, X-rays or mutagenic chemicals, as well as targeted mutagenesis techniques for generating mutations at specific loci in the plant genome. Targeted mutagenesis techniques often use oligonucleotides or proteins such as CRISPR / Cas, zinc finger nucleases, TALENs, or meganucleases to achieve a targeted effect.

[0107] Genetic engineering typically uses recombinant DNA technology to generate mutations in plant genomes that are not readily obtainable in natural environments through cross-breeding, mutagenesis, or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes are integrated into a plant's genome to add or improve traits. These integrated genes are also referred to in the art as transgenes, and plants containing such transgenes are called transgenic plants. Plant transformation methods typically result in several transformation events, each of which differs in the genomic locus at which the transgene is integrated. Plants containing a specific transgene at a specific genomic locus are typically described as containing a specific "event," referred to by a specific event name. Traits that have been introduced or modified in plants include herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, increased yield, and tolerance to abiotic conditions such as drought, among others.

[0108] Herbicide resistance has been generated by using mutagenesis and by using genetic engineering. Plants that have been made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides by conventional mutagenesis and breeding methods include plant varieties sold under the name Clearfield®. However, most herbicide-tolerant traits have been generated by the use of transgenes.

[0109] Herbicide resistance has been generated to glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, oxynil herbicides (such as bromoxynil and ioxynil), sulfonylurea herbicides, ALS inhibitor herbicides, and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors (such as isoxaflutole and mesotrione).

[0110] Transgenes that have been used to provide herbicide tolerance traits include the following: transgenes for tolerance to glyphosate: cp4 epsps, epsps grg23ace5, mepsps, 2mepsps, gat4601, gat4621, and goxv247; transgenes for tolerance to glufosinate: pat and bar; transgenes for tolerance to 2,4-D: aad-1 and aad-12; transgenes for tolerance to dicamba: dmo; transgenes for tolerance to oxynil herbicides: bxn; transgenes for tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides: zm-hra, csr1-2, gm-hra, S4-HrA; transgenes for tolerance to ALS inhibitor herbicides: csr1-2;

[0111] Transgenic corn events containing herbicide tolerance genes include, but are not limited to, DAS40278, MON801, MON802, MON809, MON810, MON832, MON87411, MON87419, MON87427, MON88017, MON89034, NK603, GA21, MZHG0JG, HCEM485, VCO-O1981-5 (where the O in the middle "O1981" is written as a stroked O in the original), 676, 678, 680, 33121, 4114, 59122, 98140, Bt10, Bt176, CBH-351, DBT418, DLL25, MS3, MS6, MZIR098, T25, TC1507, and TC6275.

[0112] Transgenic soybean events containing herbicide tolerance genes include, but are not limited to, GTS 40-3-2, MON87705, MON87708, MON87712, MON87769, MON89788, A2704-12, A2704-21, A5547-127, A5547-35, DP356043, DAS44406-6, DAS68416-4, DAS-81419-2, GU262, SYHTOH2 (where the O is written with a stroked O in the original), W62, W98, FG72, and CV127.

[0113] Transgenic cotton events containing herbicide resistance genes include, but are not limited to, 19-51a, 31707, 42317, 81910, 281-24-236, 3006-210-23, BXN10211, BXN10215, BXN10222, BXN10224, MON1445, MON1698, MON88701, MON88913, GHB119, GHB614, LLCotton25, T303-3, and T304-40.

[0114] Transgenic canola events containing herbicide tolerance genes include, but are not limited to, MON88302, HCR-1, HCN10, HCN28, HCN92, MS1, MS8, PHY14, PHY23, PHY35, PHY36, RF1, RF2 and RF3.

[0115] Insect resistance has primarily been generated by transferring bacterial genes encoding insecticidal proteins into plants. The most frequently used transgenes are Bacillus species toxin genes and their synthetic variants, such as cry1A, cry1Ab, cry1Ab-Ac, cry1Ac, cry1A.105, cry1F, cry1Fa2, cry2Ab2, cry2Ae, mcry3A, ecry3.1Ab, cry3Bb1, cry34Ab1, cry35Ab1, cry9C, vip3A(a), and vip3Aa20. However, plant-derived genes have also been transferred to other plants, particularly genes encoding protease inhibitors such as CpTI and pinII. A further approach uses transgenes to generate double-stranded RNA that targets and downregulates insect genes in plants. An example of such a transgene is dvsnf7.

[0116] Transgenic corn events containing genes for insecticidal proteins or double-stranded RNA include, but are not limited to, Bt10, Bt11, Bt176, MON801, MON802, MON809, MON810, MON863, MON87411, MON88017, MON89034, 33121, 4114, 5307, 59122, TC1507, TC6275, CBH-351, MIR162, DBT418, and MZIR098.

[0117] Transgenic soybean events containing genes for insecticidal proteins include, but are not limited to, MON87701, MON87751 and DAS-81419.

[0118] Transgenic cotton events containing genes for insecticidal proteins include, but are not limited to, SGK321, MON531, MON757, MON1076, MON15985, 31707, 31803, 31807, 31808, 42317, BNLA-601, Event1, COT67B, COT102, T303-3, T304-40, GFM Cry1A, GK12, MLS 9124, 281-24-236, 3006-210-23, GHB119, and SGK321.

[0119] Increased yield has been produced by increasing ear biomass using the transgene athb17 present in corn event MON87403 or by enhancing photosynthesis using the transgene bbx32 present in soybean event MON87712.

[0120] Crops with altered oil content have been produced by using the transgenes gm-fad2-1, Pj.D6D, Nc.Fad3, fad2-1A, and fatb1-A. Soybean events containing at least one of these genes are: 260-05, MON87705, and MON87769.

[0121] Tolerance to abiotic conditions, particularly drought, has been generated using the transgene cspB in the maize event MON87460 and the transgene Hahb-4 in the soybean event IND-OO41O-5 (the O here is written as a stroked O in the original text).

[0122] Traits are often combined by combining genes in one transformation event or by combining different events during the breeding process. Preferred combinations of traits are herbicide resistance to different groups of herbicides, insect resistance to different types of insects (especially lepidopteran resistance and coleopteran resistance), herbicide resistance and one or several types of insect resistance, herbicide tolerance and increased yield, and herbicide tolerance and tolerance to abiotic conditions.

[0123] Plants containing specific or stacked traits, as well as the genes and events that provide these traits, are well known in the art. For example, detailed information about mutated or integrated genes and events is available from the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) website (http: / / www.isaaa.org / gmapprovaldatabase) and the Center for Environmental Risk Assessment (CERA) website (http: / / cera-gmc.org / GMCropDatabase), as well as patent applications such as EP3028573 and WO2017 / 011288.

[0124] The use of the mixtures of the present invention on crops can produce specific effects on crops containing specific genes or events. These effects can include changes in growth behavior or changes in resistance to biotic or abiotic stress factors. Such effects can include, in particular, increased yield, increased resistance, or resistance to insect pathogens, nematode pathogens, fungal pathogens, bacterial pathogens, mycoplasma pathogens, viral pathogens, or viroid pathogens, as well as early vigor, early or delayed ripening, low or high temperature tolerance, and changes in the spectrum or content of amino acids or fatty acids.

[0125] Also included are plants that contain altered or new components through the use of recombinant DNA technology, particularly to improve feedstock production, such as potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e.g., Amflora® potatoes, BASF SE, Germany).

[0126] Preferred are crops that are tolerant to glufosinate, wherein the glufosinate tolerant crop is preferably selected from the group consisting of rice, canola, soybean, corn and cotton plants.

[0132] The mixture of the present invention can be applied by conventional methods by using techniques that are familiar to those skilled in the art.Suitable techniques include, for example, spraying, dusting, spreading or watering.The application type is determined by the intended purpose in a well-known manner, but in any case, it should ensure that the active ingredient of the present invention is dispersed as finely as possible.

[0133] In one embodiment, the mixture of the present invention is applied to the application site primarily by spraying, particularly by foliar spraying of an aqueous dilution of the active ingredients of the mixture. Application can be carried out by conventional spraying techniques, for example using water as a carrier, with a spray volume of about 10 to 2000 L / ha or 50 to 1000 L / ha (e.g., 100 to 500 L / ha). Application of the mixture of the present invention in the form of fine particles is also possible using low-volume and ultra-low-volume methods.

[0134] The required application rate of the mixture of pure active compounds depends on the density of the undesired vegetation, the development stage of the plants, the climatic conditions where the mixture is used and the method of application.

[0135] In general, the application rate of L-glufosinate is usually within the range of 50 g / ha to 3000 g / ha of active substance (ai), preferably 100 g / ha to 2000 g / ha or 200 g / ha to 1500 g / ha of active substance (ai), and the application rate of herbicide compound II is within the range of 1 g / ha to 2000 g / ha of active substance (ai), preferably 5 g / ha to 1500 g / ha, more preferably 25 g / ha to 900 g / ha of active substance (ai).

[0136] The examples that follow illustrate the invention without imposing any limitations. [Example]

[0137] Biological Examples Synergy can be described as an interaction where the combined effect of two or more compounds exceeds the sum of the individual effects of each compound. The presence of synergy between two mixing partners (X and Y) in terms of percent control can be calculated using Colby's formula (Colby, SR, 1967, Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses in Herbicide Combinations, Weeds, 15, 20-22):

[0138]

number

[0139] If the observed control effect of the combination exceeds the predicted (calculated) control effect of the combination (E), the effect of the combination is synergistic.

[0140] The following tests demonstrate the control efficacy of the compounds, mixtures or compositions of the present invention against specific weeds. However, the weed control provided by the compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to these species. Analysis of synergy or antagonism between mixtures or compositions was determined using Colby's formula.

[0141] Test Method: The cultivation containers used were plastic pots containing loamy sandy soil with approximately 3.0% humus as a base soil. Seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species and / or resistant biotype. For pre-emergence treatment, the active ingredient, suspended or emulsified in water, was applied using a fine spray nozzle immediately after sowing. The containers were gently irrigated to promote germination and growth, and then covered with a transparent plastic hood until the plants were established. This cover ensured uniform germination of the test plants, unless the active ingredient had damaged them. For post-emergence treatment, the test plants were first grown to a height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on their habit, and then treated with the active ingredient suspended or emulsified in water. For this purpose, the test plants were either directly sown and grown in the same container, or they were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into the test containers a few days before treatment. The plants were kept at 10 to 25°C or 20 to 35°C, depending on the species. The test period lasted 20 days after treatment. During this period, the plants were cared for and their response to each treatment was evaluated. Evaluations were made using a scale of 0 to 100, with "100" meaning no emergence or complete destruction of at least the above-ground parts of the plant, and "0" meaning no damage or normal growth. Data shown are the average of two replicates.
