Abstract

A synergistic herbicidal composition containing (a) a compound of formula (I):

or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof and (b) dimethoxy-pyrimidine acids, including but not limited to bispyribac-sodium, pyribenzoxim, pyriftalid, pyriminobac-methyl and pyrimisulfan provide synergistic weed control of undesirable vegetation e.g., in direct-seeded, water-seeded, and transplanted rice, cereals, wheat, barley, oats, rye, sorghum, corn or maize, sugarcane, sunflower, oilseed rape, canola, sugar beet, soybean, cotton, pineapple, vegetables, pastures, grasslands, rangelands, fallowland, turf, tree and vine orchards, aquatics, plantation crops, industrial vegetation management (IVM) or rights of way (ROW).

Claims

1. A herbicidal composition comprising a herbicidally effective amount of (a) a compound of the formula (I)

2. The composition of claim 1, wherein (a) is a C_1-4 alkyl or benzyl ester of the compound of formula (I).

3. The composition of claim 2, wherein (a) is a benzyl ester of the compound of formula (I).

4. The composition of claim 1, wherein (a) is the compound of formula (I), which is the carboxylic acid.

5. The composition of claim 1, further comprising a herbicide safener, an adjuvant or a carrier.

6. The composition of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of compound of formula (I) or agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof to bispyribac-sodium is from about 1:

75 to about 43;

1.

7. The composition of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of the compound of formula (I) or agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof to pyribenzoxim is from about 1:

45 to about 10;

1.

8. The composition of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of the compound of formula (I) or agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof to pyriftalid is from about 1:

150 to about 3;

1.

9. The composition of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of the compound of formula (I) or agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof to pyriminobac-methyl is from about 1:

45 to about 27;

1.

10. The composition of claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of the compound of formula (I) or agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof to pyrimisulfan or agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof is from about 1:

100 to about 30;

1.

11. A method for controlling undesirable vegetation, comprising the step of:

contacting a plant, wherein the plant is undesirable vegetation or the locus thereof, or soil or water, wherein the soil or the water allows for the growth of the undesirable vegetation, with a herbicidally effective amount a composition comprising of (a) a compound of the formula (I)

12. The composition comprising method of claim 11, wherein the (a) and (b) is applied to water.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the water is part of a flooded rice paddy.

14. The composition comprising method of claim 11, wherein the (a) and (b) is applied pre-emergently and/or post-emergently to the undesirable vegetation in or the crop.

15. The method of claim 11, wherein the undesirable vegetation is controlled in glyphosate-, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase inhibitor-, glufosinate-, glutamine synthetase inhibitor-, dicamba-, phenoxy auxin-, pyridyloxy auxin-, synthetic auxin-, auxin transport inhibitor-, aryloxyphenoxypropionate-, cyclohexandione-, phenylpyrazoline-, acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor-, imidazolinone-, sulfonylurea-, pyrimidinylthiobenzoate, triazolopyrimidime-. sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone-, acetolactate synthase or acetohydroxy acid synthease inhibitor-, 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor-, phytoene desaturase-, carotenoid biosynthesis inhibitor-, cellulose biosynthesis inhibitor-, mitosis inhibitor-, microtubule inhibitor-, very long chain fatty acid inhibitor-, fatty acid and lipid biosynthesis inhibitor-, photosystem 1 inhibitor, photosystem II inhibitor-, protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitor-, triazine-, or bromoxynil-tolerant crops.
