Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to herbicidal mixtures comprising L-glufosinate or a salt thereof and at least one protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor. 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 planting or before emergence of the crop, is an important tool of modern weed management. Weeds present at planting generally grow much faster than the crop and thus compete very early in the growing season, thereby damaging the crop and reducing crop yield. It is therefore desirable to plant the crop in a weed-free seedbed or to ensure that the crop is essentially weed-free when it emerges. Burndown may 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 right-of-way management, fence lines, and non-cultivated land (such as industrial and construction sites, gravel areas, roads or walkways, etc.). Forestry includes, for example, the removal of existing forest or shrubland, the removal of regeneration after mechanical deforestation, or the management 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, aubergine, beans, peppers, cabbage, chili peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, melons, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, etc. For weed control in vegetable crops, it may be desirable to shield these crops from contact with spray solutions containing the herbicidal mixtures according to the invention.

[0005] Perennial crops include tree crops, nut crops and vine crops such as almonds, apples, apricots, avocados, cashews, cherries, Christmas trees, durians, oranges, dragon fruit, grapes, guavas, longans, mangoes, olives, papayas, peaches, pears and other pome fruits, pistachios, plums, pomegranates, pomelos and quince, and citrus crops such as clementines, grapefruits, lemons, limes, mandarins and nectarines, as well as 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, roses, etc. For weed control in perennial crops, it may be desirable to shield these crops from contact with spray solutions containing the herbicidal mixtures according to the invention.

[0006] The compositions according to the invention can also be used for weed control in turf and lawn, provided that the desired grass species is tolerant to the herbicidal mixtures, in particular such mixtures can be used in desired grass species 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, a single application of glufosinate often results in insufficient weed control, and multiple applications and / or high doses are often required. Moreover, the efficacy of glufosinate against some weeds is not entirely 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. Moreover, the reliability and persistence of such combinations are highly dependent on weathering conditions, and it is certainly difficult to control escaped weed species. Moreover, the herbicidal activity of these mixtures lasts only for a short time, so that effective burndown is only possible within a small time frame before planting the crop.

[0009] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a herbicidal mixture that allows efficient and reliable control of grass weeds and broadleaf weeds in burn down 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 sufficient long-term weed control, thereby allowing more flexible application. The mixture should also have low toxicity to humans or other mammals. The mixture should also show rapid action against harmful plants, i.e., the mixture should cause damage to harmful plants more quickly compared to the application of 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 the mixtures known in the art do not specify the stereochemistry, implying that the racemate is present (e.g., WO 2003024221, WO 2011104213, WO 2016113334, WO 2009141367).

[0012] Surprisingly, it has been found that mixtures of L-glufosinate or a salt thereof with at least one protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor exhibit higher activity in burn down programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, vegetable crops and perennial crops, and turf and turf grass when compared to L-glufosinate alone.

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 by seed dressing, seed pelleting, seed coating and seed dusting methods, respectively.

[0079] The present invention also relates to a herbicidal formulation comprising the herbicidally active mixture as defined herein and at least one carrier material, such as a liquid carrier material and / or a solid carrier material.

[0080] 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 to the mixtures according to the invention which contain them, or, if appropriate, can be added immediately 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.

[0081] The user applies the mixture according to the invention usually from a predosage device, a backpack sprayer, a spray tank, a spray plane or an irrigation system. Usually, 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. Usually, 20 to 2000 liters, preferably 50 to 400 liters, of ready-to-use spray solution are applied per hectare of agriculturally useful area.

[0082] 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 and perennial crops, and turf and lawn, where 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 locus where the crop is to be planted, before the planting or emergence of the crop.

[0083] The present invention therefore also relates to a method for burn-down 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 prior to planting (or sowing) or emergence of the crop, wherein the mixture of the present invention is applied to the undesirable vegetation or to its locus.

[0084] The present invention thus relates to a method for controlling undesirable vegetation, which method comprises applying a mixture of the present invention to a locus 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.

[0085] As used herein, the terms "control" and "eliminate" are synonymous.

[0086] As used herein, the terms "undesirable vegetation," "undesirable species," "undesirable plants," "harmful plants," "undesirable weeds," or "noxious weeds" are synonyms.

[0087] As used herein, the term "locus" means an area, typically a field, in which vegetation or plants are growing or will grow.

[0088] In such a burn down program, the mixture of the present invention is applied before the emergence of the crop, in particular before sowing, although it can be applied before sowing (or planting) the crop or after sowing (or planting). 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 on a day up to 9 months, often up to 6 months, preferably up to 4 months before planting the crop. Burn down application can be performed on a day up to 1 day before the emergence of the crop, preferably on a day before the sowing / planting of the crop, preferably on a day at least 1 day, preferably at least 2 days, in particular at least 4 days before planting, or 6 months to 1 day before emergence, in particular 4 months to 2 days before emergence, more preferably 4 months to 4 days before emergence. Of course, within that time frame, it is possible to repeat the burn down application one or more times, for example 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 times.

[0089] A particular advantage of the mixtures of the present invention is that they have very good post-emergence herbicidal activity, i.e., they show good 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, when undesirable plants start 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 higher than 10 cm (4 inches) or even higher than 15 cm (6 inches)) and / or against dense weed populations.

[0090] For the post-emergence treatment of plants, the mixtures according to the invention are preferably applied by foliar application.

[0091] If the active compounds I and II are not well tolerated by a particular crop, application techniques can be used in which the herbicidal composition is sprayed with the aid of 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, spray shields can also be used.

[0092] Application can be carried out, for example, by conventional spraying techniques using water as a carrier, usually with 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 the undesired vegetation, the development stage of the plants, the climatic conditions where the mixture is used and the application method. In general, 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).

[0093] When using the mixture of the present invention in the method of the present invention, the active compounds present in the mixture of the present invention can be applied simultaneously or successively to the place where undesirable vegetation may occur.Here, it is not important whether the individual compounds present in the mixture of the present invention are formulated together or separately, and whether they are applied together or separately, and furthermore, in what order they are applied in the case of separate application.All that is required is that the individual compounds present in the mixture of the present invention are applied within a time frame that allows the simultaneous action of active ingredients on undesirable plants.

[0094] As noted above, the mixtures of the present invention have several advantages, namely enhanced herbicidal activity, when compared to mixtures of racemic glufosinate and a protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor.

[0095] In addition, the mixture of the present invention exhibits sustained herbicidal activity even under severe weathering conditions, which allows for more flexible application in burndown applications and minimizes the risk of weed escaping. Apart from that, the mixture of the present invention exhibits excellent crop compatibility with certain conventional and herbicide-resistant crops, i.e., the use of the mixture of the present invention in these crops results in reduced crop damage and / or no increased crop damage. Thus, the mixture of the present invention can also be applied after crop emergence. The mixture of the present invention can also exhibit rapid action against harmful plants, i.e., the mixture of the present invention can cause more rapid damage to harmful plants when compared to a mixture of racemic glufosinate and at least one protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor.

[0100] The mixtures of the invention are suitable for the control / elimination of common harmful plants in fields planted with useful plants (i.e. in crops). The mixtures of the invention are generally suitable for the burn-down of undesirable vegetation in the 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 bicolour); - rice (Oryza spp., e.g. Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima); and - sugar cane etc. - legumes (Fabaceae), such as soybean (Glycine max), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) and cereals such as peas, such as Pisum sativum, pigeon pea and cowpea, beans, such as broad 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. apple and pear, coffee, pistachio 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 pines, firs, oaks, maples, dogwoods, hawthorns, crabapples, and buckthorns; and - Garden ornamental plants such as roses, petunias, marigolds and snapdragons.

[0101] The mixtures of the 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. apple and pear), 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).

[0102] 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 and pistachios.

[0103] 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 phytopathogenic fungi, and / or to attack by insects; preferably resistant to glufosinate.

[0104] 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.

[0105] Mutagenesis includes techniques of random mutagenesis, for example using X-rays or mutagenic chemicals, and also techniques of targeted mutagenesis to generate 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.

[0106] Genetic engineering typically uses recombinant DNA techniques to generate mutations in plant genomes that are not readily obtainable in natural environments by cross-breeding, mutagenesis, or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes are integrated into the genome of a plant to add or improve traits. These integrated genes are also referred to in the art as transgenes, and plants containing such transgenes are referred to as transgenic plants. Plant transformation methods usually result in several transformation events, where the events differ in the genomic locus where the transgene is integrated. Plants containing a particular transgene on a particular genomic locus are usually described as containing a specific "event," referred to by the name of the particular event. Traits that have been introduced or modified in plants include herbicide resistance, insect resistance, increased yield, and tolerance to abiotic conditions such as drought, among others.

[0107] Herbicide resistance has been produced by using mutagenesis and by using genetic engineering. Plants that have been made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides by traditional mutagenesis and breeding methods include plant varieties marketed under the name Clearfield®. However, most herbicide resistance traits have been produced by using transgenes.

[0108] 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).

[0109] Transgenes that have been used to provide herbicide tolerance traits include: 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, transgenes for tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides: hppdPF, W336, and avhppd-03.

[0110] Transgenic corn events containing herbicide resistance 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 text), 676, 678, 680, 33121, 4114, 59122, 98140, Bt10, Bt176, CBH-351, DBT418, DLL25, MS3, MS6, MZIR098, T25, TC1507, and TC6275.

[0111] 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 as a stroked O in the original text), W62, W98, FG72, and CV127.

[0112] 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.

[0113] 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.

[0114] Insect resistance has been mainly generated by transferring bacterial genes for insecticidal proteins into plants. The most frequently used transgenes are the toxin genes of Bacillus spec. and their synthetic variants, cry1A, cry1Ab, cry1Ab-Ac, cry1Ac, cry1A.105, cry1F, cry1Fa2, cry2Ab2, cry2Ae, mcry3A, ecry3.1Ab, cry3Bb1, cry34Ab1, cry35Ab1, cry9C, vip3A(a), vip3Aa20, etc. However, genes from plants have also been transferred to other plants, especially 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.

[0115] 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.

[0116] Transgenic soybean events containing genes for insecticidal proteins are for example, but not exclusive of, MON87701, MON87751 and DAS-81419.

[0117] 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.

[0118] Increased yields have 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.

[0119] 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 that contain at least one of these genes are: 260-05, MON87705, and MON87769.

[0120] Tolerance to abiotic conditions, particularly drought, has been generated by using the transgene cspB in the maize event MON87460 and by using the transgene Hahb-4 in the soybean event IND-OO41O-5 (the O in this case is written as a stroked O in the original text).

[0121] 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 resistance and increased yield, and herbicide resistance and tolerance to abiotic conditions.

[0122] 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 on the mutated or integrated genes and respective events can be obtained 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.

[0123] The use of the mixtures of the present invention on crops may result in specific effects on crops containing specific genes or events. These effects may include changes in growth behavior or changes in resistance to biotic or abiotic stressors. Such effects may include, in particular, increased yield, increased resistance or resistance to insect, nematode, fungal, bacterial, mycoplasma, viral or viroid pathogens, as well as early vigour, early or delayed ripening, low or high temperature tolerance, and changes in the spectrum or content of amino acids or fatty acids.

[0124] Additionally, plants that contain altered or new components through the use of recombinant DNA technology, particularly to improve feedstock production, are also included, such as potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e.g. Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany).

[0125] Preferred are crops that are tolerant to glufosinate, where the glufosinate tolerant crops are preferably selected from the group consisting of rice, canola, soybean, corn and cotton plants.

[0131] The mixture of the present invention can be applied in a conventional manner by using techniques that are familiar to those skilled in the art.Suitable techniques include, for example, spraying, scattering, dusting, spreading or watering.The application type depends on the intended purpose in a well-known manner, but in any case, it should ensure the finest possible scattering of the active ingredient according to the present invention.

[0132] In one embodiment, the mixtures of the present invention are applied to the locus of application mainly by spraying, in particular by foliar spraying of aqueous dilutions of the active ingredients of the mixtures. Application can be carried out by conventional spraying techniques, for example using water as a carrier and spray volumes of about 10-2000 L / ha or 50-1000 L / ha (for example 100-500 L / ha). Application of the mixtures of the present invention by low-volume and ultra-low-volume methods is possible, as is application of the mixtures of the present invention in the form of fine particles.

[0133] The required application rate of mixtures 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.

[0134] In general, the application rate of L-glufosinate is usually within the range of 50 g / ha to 3000 g / ha active substance (ai), preferably 100 g / ha to 2000 g / ha or 200 g / ha to 1500 g / ha active substance (ai), and the application rate of the protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitor is within the range of 1 g / ha to 2000 g / ha active substance (ai), preferably 5 g / ha to 1500 g / ha, more preferably 25 g / ha to 900 g / ha active substance (ai).

[0135] The examples which follow illustrate the invention without imposing any limitations. EXAMPLES

[0136] 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):

[0137]

number

[0138] A combination effect is synergistic if the observed control effect of the combination exceeds the predicted (calculated) control effect of the combination (E).

[0139] The following tests show 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. The analysis of synergy or antagonism between mixtures or compositions was determined using Colby's formula.

[0140] Test Method: The cultivation containers used were plastic flowerpots containing loamy sandy soil with about 3.0% humus as substrate. Seeds of the test plants were sown separately for each species and / or resistant biotype. For pre-emergence treatments, 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 were then covered with a transparent plastic hood until the plants were established. This cover resulted in uniform germination of the test plants, unless they were damaged by the active ingredient. For post-emergence treatments, the test plants were first grown to a height of 3-15 cm depending on their vegetative habit and only then were they 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 10-25°C or 20-35°C, respectively, depending on the species. The test period lasted up to 20 days after treatment. During this period, the plants were cared for and their response to each treatment was evaluated. The evaluation was done using a scale of 0 to 100. "100" means no emergence of the plant or at least the above-ground parts are completely destroyed, and "0" means no damage or normal growth. The data shown are the average of two replicates.
