A composition comprising an inert carrier and a herbicidally-effective amount of a compound of the formula:
- ##STR7## wherein x.sup.1 represents bromo, chloro or iodo, X.sup.2 represents hydrogen, chloro or methyl;
- n represents an integer of 0 to 3, inclusive;
- R is ring-substituted in the 3-, 4- or 5-positions and each R independently represents hydrogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl of from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, alkoxy of from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, bromo, chloro, fluoro or nitro, and T represents hydrogen, ##STR8##
The method of controlling undesired plant growth which comprises applying to the locus of said plants a herbicidally-effective amount of a compound of the formula:
- ##STR10## wherein X.sup.1 represents bromo, chloro or iodo;
- X.sup.2 represents hydrogen, chloro or methyl;
- n represents an integer of 0 to 3, inclusive;
- R is ring-substituted in the 3-, 4- or 5-positions and each R independently represents hydrogen, trifluoromethyl, alkyl of from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, alkoxy of from 1 to about 3 carbon atoms, bromo, chloro, fluoro or nitro, and T represents hydrogen, ##STR11##
