## CPC

- A01N 57/20: containing acyclic or cycloaliphatic radicals
- A01N: PRESERVATION OF BODIES OF HUMANS OR ANIMALS OR PLANTS OR PARTS THEREOF (preservation of food or foodstuff A23); BIOCIDES, e.g. AS DISINFECTANTS, AS PESTICIDES OR AS HERBICIDES (preparations for medical, dental or toiletry purposes which kill or prevent the growth or proliferation of unwanted organisms A61K); PEST REPELLANTS OR ATTRACTANTS; PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS

## Abstract

Herbicide combinations (A)+(B), if appropriate in the presence of safeners, with an effective content of (A) broad-spectrum herbicides from the group (A1) glufosinate (salts) and related compounds (A2) glyphosate (salts) and related compounds such as sulfosate, (A3) imidazolinones, (A4) herbicidal azoles from the group of the protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors (PPO inhibitors) (A5) cyclohexanedione herbicides and (A6) heteroaryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides and (B) one or more herbicides from the group of the compounds consisting of (B0) one or more structurally different herbicides from the abovementioned group (A) or (B1) foliar- and soil-acting herbicides against monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous harmful plants or (B2) herbicides which can be employed selectively in maize against dicots, or (B3) foliar- and soil-acting herbicides which can be employed selectively in maize, predominantly against dicotyledonous harmful plants, or herbicides from several of groups (B0) to (B3) are suitable for controlling harmful plants in maize which consists of tolerant or resistant mutants or transgenic maize plants and the maize crops are tolerant to the herbicides (A) and (B), if appropriate in the presence of safeners, which are contained in the combination.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
utilizing herbicide combination in maize crops to control harmful plants;
wherein the herbicide combination has a synergistically active amount of a broad-spectrum (A) herbicide and at least one (B) herbicide, if appropriate in the presence of safeners;
wherein the (A) herbicide is selected from the group of the compounds consisting of:
(A1) compounds of the formula (A1), and their esters and salts and other phosphinothricin derivatives:
in which Z is a radical of the formula —OH or a peptide radical of the formula —NHCH(CH3)CONHCH(CH3)COOH or —NHCH(CH3)CONHCH[CH2CH(CH3)2]COOH; and
wherein the at least one (B) herbicide is 2,4-D; and
wherein the maize crops are tolerant to the herbicides (A) and (B) which form a constituent of the combination.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1;
wherein the (A) herbicide is (A1.1) glufosinate-acid.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1;
wherein the (A) herbicide is (A1.2) glufosinate ammonium.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1;
wherein the (A) herbicide is (A1.3) L-glufosinate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1;
wherein the (A) herbicide is (A1.4) L-glufosinate ammonium.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method as claimed in claim 1;
wherein the (A) herbicide is (A1.5) bialaphos.
