11. The composition of claim 1, further comprising (c) flufenacet as a third herbicidally active component, and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-5 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b) to about 30-60 of (c).

12. The composition of claim 1, further comprising (c) diflufenican as a third herbicidally active component and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 30-250 of (b) to about 12.5-100 of (c).

13. The composition of claim 1, further comprising (c) diflufenican as a third herbicidally active component, and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b) to about 25-50 of (c).

14. The composition of claim 1, further comprising an agriculturally acceptable adjuvant or carrier.

15. The composition of claim 1, which is synergistic as determined by the Colby equation.

16. A method of controlling undesirable vegetation which comprises applying to an area where control is desired a herbicidally effective amount of the composition of claim 1.

17. A method of controlling undesirable vegetation which comprises applying to an area where control is desired a herbicidally effective amount of a combination comprising the following herbicidally active components:
