Abstract
A process for destroying weeds in sorghum crops which comprises applying to the area of the growing crop or to the crop area before the crop emerges, 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-5-methylthio-pyrimidine or a mixture of the two isomeric compounds 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-5-methylthio-pyrimidine and 4,6-diamino-2-chloro-5-methylthio-pyrimidine in which 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-5-methylthio-pyrimidine is preponderant, the rate of application of the above compound or mixture being from 300 g/ha to 4,500 g/ha. Herbicides may be simultaneously applied.
Claims1
A process for destroying weeds in sorghum crops which comprises applying to the area of the growing crop a mixture containing approximately 89% by weight of 2,4-diamino-6-chloro-5-methylthio-pyrimidine and 11% by weight of 4,6-diamino-2-chloro-5-methylthio-pyrimidine, the rate of application of the above mixture being from 1,200 g/ha to 3,600 g/ha.
