Claims5
A method for reducing injury to wheat, sorghum and corn by thiolcarbamate herbicides selected from the group consisting of S-2-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiocarbamate and S-2,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate which comprises applying to the soil, crop or crop seed an effective safening amount of a compound of the formula ##STR9## wherein R is lower alkyl, R' is hydrogen and R.sup.2 is phenyl.
A safened herbicide composition comprising a thiolcarbamate herbicide selected from the group consisting of S-2,3-dichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate and S-2,3,3-trichloroallyl N,N-diisopropylthiolcarbamate and an effective safening amount of a compound of the formula ##STR10## wherein R is lower alkyl, R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.2 is phenyl.
