If the sulfur atom contains 1 or 2 oxo groups, heteroatomic groups S(O) and S(O)2 will be generated as ring members. A carbon atom can, of course, bear only 0 or 1 oxo group.

[0106] Therefore, ring Z can be a carbon ring (i.e., containing only carbon atoms as ring members; here r is 3-8, k and n are 0) or a heterocyclic ring (i.e., also containing at least one N, O and / or S atom as ring members; r is therefore 1-7 here and at least one of n representing the number of O and S ring atoms and / or k is 1).

[0107] An unsaturated carbocyclic ring contains at least one C-C double bond. An unsaturated heterocyclic ring contains at least one C-C and / or CN and / or NN double bond. A partially unsaturated carbocyclic ring contains fewer than the maximum number of C-C double bonds allowed by the ring size. A partially unsaturated heterocyclic ring contains fewer than the maximum number of C-C and / or CN and / or NN double bonds allowed by the ring size. A fully (or maximally) unsaturated carbocyclic ring contains as many conjugated C-C double bonds as allowed by the ring size. However, phenyl is not included in the definition of Z. A fully (or maximally) unsaturated heterocyclic ring contains as many conjugated C-C and / or CN and / or NN double bonds as allowed by the ring size. Maximally unsaturated 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic rings are usually aromatic. Exceptions are maximally unsaturated 6-membered rings containing O, S, SO, and / or SO2 as ring members, such as non-aromatic pyrans and thiorans.

[1123] The attribution of an active compound to its corresponding mechanism of action is based on existing knowledge. If several mechanisms of action apply to an active compound, then the substance is attributed to only one mechanism of action.

[1124] The present invention also relates to formulations comprising at least one adjuvant and at least one compound of formula (I) of the present invention.

[1125] The formulation contains an effective amount of a compound of formula (I). The term "effective amount" refers to the amount of a combination or compound of formula (I) sufficient to control unwanted plants, especially in crops (i.e., cultivated plants), without causing significant damage to the treated crop. This amount can vary over a wide range and depends on various factors such as the unwanted plant to be controlled, the crop or material being treated, climatic conditions, and the specific compound of formula (I) used.

[1126] Compounds of formula (I) or their salts can be converted into formulations commonly used in pharmaceutical preparations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, pastes, granules, molded products, capsules, and mixtures thereof. Examples of formulation types include suspensions (e.g., SC, OD, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (e.g., EC), emulsions (e.g., EW, EO, ES, ME), capsules (e.g., CS, ZC), pastes, tablets, wettable powders or granules (e.g., WP, SP, WS, DP, DS), molded products (e.g., BR, TB, DT), granules (e.g., WG, SG, GR, FG, GG, MG), insecticides (e.g., LN), and gel formulations for treating plant propagation materials such as seeds (e.g., GF).

[1201] The preferred crops are cereal crops, corn, soybeans, rice, oilseed rape, cotton, potatoes, peanuts, or perennial crops.

[1202] The compounds of formula (I) of the present invention, or formulations and / or combinations thereof, can also be used in crops that have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering to provide new traits to plants or to modify existing traits.

[1203] The term “crop” as used in this article also includes plants (agricultural crops) that have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering to provide new traits or modify existing traits.

[1204] Mutagenesis includes random mutagenesis techniques using X-rays or mutagenic chemicals, but there are also targeted mutagenesis techniques to induce mutations at specific locations in the plant genome. Targeted mutagenesis techniques typically use oligonucleotides or proteins such as CRISPR / Cas, zinc finger nucleases, TALENs, or a wide range of nucleases to achieve a targeted effect.

[1205] Genetic engineering typically uses recombinant DNA techniques, which are not easily obtained naturally through hybridization, mutagenesis, or natural recombination, to produce modifications in the plant genome. One or more genes are usually integrated into the plant genome to add or improve traits. These integrated genes are also known in the field as transgenes, and plants containing such transgenes are called transgenic plants. This plant conversion method usually produces several conversion events, which differ in the genomic location where the transgene has been integrated. Plants containing a specific transgene at a specific genomic location are often described as containing a specific "event," which is referred to by the event name. Traits that have been introduced into plants or modified include herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, increased yield, and tolerance to abiotic conditions such as drought.

[1206] Herbicide tolerance has been developed through mutagenesis and genetic engineering. Plants conferred tolerance to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides by conventional mutagenesis and breeding methods include those named after herbicides such as... Commercially available plant varieties. However, most herbicide tolerance traits have been developed through the use of genetic modification.

[1207] The herbicides glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, oxynil (such as bromoxynil and ioxynil), sulfonylurea herbicides, ALS inhibitor herbicides, and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors such as isopropionate have been tested. Isoxaflutole and mesotrione develop herbicide tolerance.

[1208] Transgenic herbicides already used to provide herbicide tolerance traits include: glyphosate tolerance: cp4 epsps, epsps grg23ace5, mepsps, 2mepsps, gat4601, gat4621, goxv247; glufosinate tolerance: pat and bar; 2,4-D tolerance: aad-1 and aad-12; dicamba tolerance: dmo; oxynil herbicide tolerance: bxn; sulfonylurea herbicide tolerance: zm-hra, csr1-2, gm-hra, S4-HrA; ALS inhibitor herbicide tolerance: csr1-2; HPPD inhibitor herbicide tolerance: hppdPF, W336, and avhppd-03.

[1209] Transgenic maize varieties containing herbicide tolerance genes include, for example, DAS40278, MON801, MON802, MON809, MON810, MON832, MON87411, MON87419, MON87427, MON88017, MON89034, NK603, GA21, MZHG0JG, and HCEM485. 676, 678, 680, 33121, 4114, 59122, 98140, Bt10, Bt176, CBH-351, DBT418, DLL25, MS3, MS6, MZIR098, T25, TC1507 and TC6275, but others are not excluded.

W62, W98, FG72, and CV127, but others are not excluded.

[1211] Transgenic cotton events containing herbicide tolerance genes include, for example, 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, but others are not excluded.

[1212] Transgenic Carola events containing herbicide tolerance genes include, for example, MON88302, HCR-1, HCN10, HCN28, HCN92, MS1, MS8, PHY14, PHY23, PHY35, PHY36, RF1, RF2, and RF3, but others are not excluded.

[1213] Insect resistance is primarily developed by transferring bacterial genes encoding insecticidal proteins into plants. The most commonly used transgenes are toxin genes from the genus *Bacillus* spp. and their synthetic variants, such as cry1A, cry1Ab, cry1Ab-Ac, cry1Ac, cry1A.105, cry1F, cry1Fa2, cry2Ab2, cry2Ae, mcry3A, cry3.1Ab, cry3Bb1, cry34Ab1, cry35Ab1, cry9C, vip3A(a), and vip3Aa20. However, plant-derived genes, particularly those encoding protease inhibitors such as CpTI and pinII, are also transferred into other plants. Another approach uses transgenes to target and downregulate insect genes by producing double-stranded RNA in plants. An example of such a transgene is dvsnf7.

[1214] Transgenic maize events containing insecticidal protein genes or double-stranded RNA include, for example, Bt10, Bt11, Bt176, MON801, MON802, MON809, MON810, MON863, MON87411, MON88017, MON89034, 33121, 4114, 5307, 59122, TC1507, TC6275, CBH-351, MIR162, DBT418, and MZIR098, but others are not excluded.

[1215] Genetically modified soybeans containing insecticidal protein genes include, for example, MON87701, MON87751 and DAS-81419, but others cannot be ruled out.

[1216] Transgenic cotton events containing insecticidal protein genes include, for example, 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, but others are not excluded.

[1217] Increased yields are achieved by using, for example, the transgenic athb17 present in maize event MON87403 to increase ear biomass or by using, for example, the transgenic bbx32 present in soybean event MON87712 to increase photosynthesis.

[1218] Crops containing modified oil content have been produced using transgenic genes: 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.

[1219] Tolerance to abiotic conditions, especially drought tolerance, was improved through the use of transgenic cspB contained in the maize event MON87460 and through the use of the soybean event. The included transgenic Hahb-4 is produced.

[1220] Traits are typically combined by combining genes during conversion events or by combining different events during the breeding process. Preferred combinations of traits include herbicide tolerance to different classes of herbicides, insect tolerance to different insect species, especially tolerance to Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, herbicide tolerance combined with resistance to one or more insect species, herbicide tolerance combined with increased yield, and herbicide tolerance combined with tolerance to abiotic conditions.

[1221] Plants containing individual 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 mutagenic or integrated genes and corresponding events can be obtained from the websites of organizations such as the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA) (http: / / www.isaaa.org / gmapprovaldatabase) and the Center for Environmental Risk Assessment (CERA) (http: / / cera-gmc.org / GMCropDatabase), as well as patent applications such as EP 3028573 and WO2017 / 011288.

[1222] The use of compounds of formula (I) of the present invention, or formulations and / or combinations thereof, on crops may result in effects specific to crops containing certain genes or events. These effects may involve changes in growth behavior or tolerance to biotic or abiotic stressors. Such effects may in particular include increased yield, increased resistance or tolerance to insect, nematode, fungal, bacterial, mycoplasma, viral, or viroid pathogens, as well as changes in early vigor, early or delayed maturity, cold or heat tolerance, and amino acid or fatty acid profiles or contents.

[1223] In addition, this includes plants that contain altered or new amounts of components through the use of recombinant DNA technology to particularly improve the production of raw materials, such as potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e.g., potatoes). Potatoes (BASF SE, Germany).

[1224] Furthermore, compounds of formula (I) of the present invention, or formulations and / or combinations thereof, have been found to be suitable for defoliation and / or drying of plant parts of crops such as cotton, potatoes, rapeseed, sunflower, soybean, or broad beans, especially cotton. In this regard, formulations and / or combinations for crop drying and / or defoliation, methods for preparing these formulations and / or combinations, and methods for drying and / or defoliating plants using compounds of formula (I) have been discovered.

[1225] As a desiccant, the compound of formula (I) is particularly suitable for drying crops such as potatoes, rapeseed, sunflowers, and soybeans, as well as the above-ground parts of cereals. This makes fully mechanized harvesting of these important crops possible.

[1226] Also of economic significance is the promotion of harvesting citrus fruits, olives, and other pome, drupe, and nut fruits of various species and varieties, which is made possible by concentrated splitting or reduced adhesion to the tree within a certain timeframe. The same mechanism, namely promoting the formation of detachment tissue between the fruit or leaf portion and the branch portion of the plant, is also necessary for the controlled defoliation of useful plants, especially cotton.

[1227] In addition, the shortened time interval between the maturity of each cotton plant leads to improved fiber quality after harvest. Example
