Dkt. 16518.136PV] filed Feb. 18, 2005, herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The present invention relates to methods and compositions for pest control in plants. More particularly, it relates to methods and compositions for controlling, preventing, or treating plant pathogens using N-phosphonomethylglycine and compositions containing N-phosphonomethylglycine in plants tolerant to N-phosphonomethylglycine. BACKGROUND
[0003] The development of herbicide tolerant crops allows for the greater use of post-emergent herbicides during agricultural cultivation of the crop. One example of a post-emergent herbicide is N-phosphonomethylglycine, also known as glyphosate, a well known herbicide that h...
