Herbicidal 4-nitro-diphenyl ethers

Abstract

This invention relates to novel herbicidal compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.6)alkoxy group, a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkyl group, an alkoxyalkoxy group, wherein each alkyl moiety has 1 to 4 carbon atoms, a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)alkylamino group, a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)dialkylamino group, a halogen atom, a cyano group, a trifluoromethyl group, a hydroxy group, or a (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) alkylthio group, and Y is a hydrogen atom, or a halogen atom, To herbicidal compositions which contain these compounds, and to methods of controlling weeds with the herbicidal compositions.
