1. A method of plant control comprising:

  • topically applying to a surface of a herbicide resistant plant a herbicidal composition comprising a polynucleotide, an organosilicone surfactant, and a nonpolynucleotide herbicide that is an inhibitor of a protein imported into a chloroplast, wherein said polynucleotide is identical or complementary to at least 21 contiguous nucleotides of a sequence of a gene encoding for a component of a chloroplast protein import system selected from the group consisting of a translocon at the outer envelope membrane of a chloroplast (TOC), a translocon at the inner envelope membrane of a chloroplast (TIC), a stroma processing peptidase (SPP), and a chaperone like protein associated with the chloroplast protein import system, and wherein said herbicide resistant plant is more sensitive to said nonpolynucleotide herbicide, relative to an untreated herbicide resistant plant.
