Estimating the term…
The present invention comprises a novel combination and composition for controlling weeds in wheat. The combination comprises a post-emergence phenoxy herbicide such as Quizalofop-p-ethyl (QPE). The novel composition further includes a broadleaf herbicide. When applied to wheat comprising QPE tolerance, surprisingly, the novel composition appears to provide synergy that results in increased wheat yield over and above the yield expected from wheat intolerant of QPE, untreated wheat, or wheat treated with either QPE or a broadleaf herbicide. Despite the fact that QPE is typically used to kill members of the grass family, the present invention successfully employs the novel combination to increase wheat yield.
A method for controlling harmful plants in QPE-tolerant wheat, said method comprising applying a composition comprising a broadleaf herbicide and QPE at levels adequate to produce a synergistic effect on wheat yield resulting in yields above that expected from applying either a broadleaf herbicide without QPE or applying QPE without a broadleaf herbicide.
A composition for controlling harmful plants in and increasing the yield of QPE-tolerant wheat above an expected yield resulting from any of:
A method of controlling weeds in wheat plants covered by U.S. Pat. No. 9,578,880 said method comprising applying a composition comprising a broadleaf herbicide and QPE, wherein the application rate of said QPE ranges between about 8 and about 12 ounces per acre QPE at 0.88 lbs a.i./gallon where a.i. indicates “active ingredient”.
