The herbicidal mixtures may comprise at least one further herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate and its salts, glufosinate and its salts, L-glufosinate (glufosinate-P) and its salts, dicamba and its salts and esters, 2,4-D and its salts and esters, bicyclopyrone, fenquinotrione, mesotrione, tembotrione, tolpyralate and toprame-zone. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods and uses applying the herbicidal mixtures, especially for controlling undesirable vegetation in in soybean and cotton cultures. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A herbicidal mixture comprising 1) isoxaflutole (compound I), 2) saflufenacil (compound II), 3) at least one imidazolinone herbicide selected from the group consisting of imazamox, imazapyr, imazapic, imazaquin and imazethapyr and their salts (compound III), and 4) optionally at least one further herbicide selected from the group consisting of glyphosate and its salts, glufosinate and its salts, L-glufosinate (glufosinate-P) and its salts, dicamba and its salts and esters, 2,4-D and its salts and esters, bicyclopyrone, fenquinotrione, mesotrione, tembotrione, tolpyralate and topramezone (compound IV). ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein no compound IV is present. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound III is selected from the group consisting of imazamox and imazamox ammonium. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound III is selected from the group consisting of imazapic, imazapic ammonium, imazapyr, imazapyr ammonium, imazapyr isopropylammonium, imazaquin, imazethapyr and imazethapyr ammonium. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein the compound III is selected from the group consisting of imazethapyr and imazethapyr ammonium. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein at least one compound IV is present. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 6, wherein the compound IV is selected from the group consisting of glyphosate and its salts, glufosinate and its salts, L-glufosinate (glufosinate-P) and its salts, dicamba and its salts and esters, 2,4-D and its salts and esters, mesotrione, tolpyralate and topramezone. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The herbicidal mixture as claimed in claim 1, wherein a weight ratio of compound I to compound II is from 15:1 to 1:15, and a weight ratio of compound I to compound III is from 15:1 to 1:15, and, if present, a weight ratio of compound I to compound IV is from 100:1 to 1:1000. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A pesticidal composition, comprising a liquid or solid carrier and a mixture as defined in claim 1. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) A method for controlling undesirable vegetation, comprising applying a mixture according to claim 1 to a locus where undesirable vegetation is present or is expected to be present. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, comprising application of the mixture prior to emergence of the crop (pre-emergence). ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, comprising application of the mixture prior to planting the crop. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the crop is soybean. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein the crop is cotton. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein components of the mixture are applied simultaneously, either jointly or separately, or in succession. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein the undesirable vegetation is of the genus Amaranthus. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The method as claimed in claim 13 wherein the soybean is herbicide-tolerant soybean. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The method as claimed in claim 14 wherein the cotton is herbicide-tolerant cotton.
