Abstract
An improved selective herbicide, as well of methods of controlling unwanted plants using such a herbicide, are provided. A method for treating undesired vegetation can include providing a selective herbicidal composition that includes a water-soluble selective auxin-type herbicide and a chelating agent complexed with at least one transition metal, and contacting vegetation with a herbicidally effective amount of the composition such that unwanted vegetation is controlled, while desired vegetation is unaffected.
Claims19
A method for treating undesired vegetation, comprising the steps of:
- providing a selective herbicidal composition comprising a water-soluble selective auxin-type herbicide selected from the group consisting of phenoxyacetic acid, phenoxyalkanoic acid, benzoic acid and mixtures thereof, and a chelating agent complexed with at least one transition metal;
- and contacting vegetation with a herbicidally effective amount of the composition such that unwanted vegetation is controlled, while desired vegetation is unaffected.
A method of treating undesired vegetation, comprising:
- providing a herbicidal composition comprising a water-soluble selective auxin-type herbicide selected from the group consisting of phenoxyacetic acid, phenoxyalkanoic acid, benzoic acid and mixtures thereof, and an ethylenediaminedisuccinic compound;
- and
- contacting vegetation with a herbicidally effective amount of the composition such that unwanted vegetation is selectively controlled, while desired vegetation is undamaged.
