Abstract
Undesired plant growth in cultivations of useful plants which are resistant to phopho-herbicides, may be controlled with herbicidal compositions, which contain, in addition to the usual inert formulation assistants, a phospho-herbicide and a synergistic amount of at least one further herbicide selected from the group comprising prosulfuron, primisulfuron, dicamba, pyridate, dimethenamide and its S-enantiomer, metolachlor and its S-enantiomer, fluometuron, propaquizafop, atrazine, clodinafop, norflurazone, ametryn, terbutylazine, simazine, prometryn, NOA-402989, as well as the compounds of formulae
Claims28
A process for the control of weeds in cultivations of useful plants which are resistant to glufosinate without significantly damaging the useful plants, comprising applying a herbicidally effective amount of a composition containing glufosinate and at least one further herbicide selected from the group consisting of prosulfuron, primisulfuron, dicamba, pyridate, dimethenamide and its S-enantiomer, metolachlor and its S-enantiomer, propaquizafop, atrazine, and terbuthylazine to the useful plant or its habitat wherein said further herbicide is present in an amount sufficient to provide an increase in selectivity for the useful plants wherein the useful plants would show greater injury if said further herbicide were omitted from said composition, with the provisos that compositions containing glufosinate and metolachlor, glufosinate and atrazine, glufosinate and a mixture of metolachlor and atrazine, or glufosinate and a mixture of atrazine and dicamba are not used in glufosinate-resistant maize.
