Abstract
The present invention is directed to an agricultural composition comprising a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor, one or more sugar alcohols and optionally, one or more auxin herbicides. The present invention is further directed to a method of controlling weeds comprising applying concurrently or sequentially a PPO inhibitor and one or more sugar alcohols, and optionally one or more auxin herbicides to the weeds or an area in need of weed control.
Claims17
An agricultural composition comprising a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor and one or more sugar alcohols, wherein presence of the one or more sugar alcohols in the composition improves weed control by the PPO inhibitor by at least 10% over the PPO inhibitor alone and wherein the PPO inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of ethyl [3-[2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-(1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-3-yl)phenoxy]-2-pyridyloxy]acetate, flumioxazin, lactofen, fomesafen, saflufenacil, sulfentrazone and trifludimoxazin.
A method of controlling weeds comprising applying concurrently or sequentially a protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitor and one or more sugar alcohols to the weeds or an area in need of weed control, wherein presence of the one or more sugar alcohols in the composition improves weed control by the PPO inhibitor by at least 10% over the PPO inhibitor alone and wherein the PPO inhibitor is selected from the group consisting of ethyl [3-[2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-(1-methyl-6-trifluoromethyl-2,4-dioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyrimidin-3-yl)phenoxy]-2-pyridyloxy] acetate, flumioxazin, lactofen, fomesafen, saflufenacil, sulfentrazone and trifludimoxazin.
