Abstract: The present disclosure includes the composition and methods of a granule formulation consist using a liquid biological active that has great handling properties yet still efficacious. The biological active is absorbed into or spray onto a mixture of carriers, dispersants, and/or wetting agents. When the product is formulated as a granule, it has good durability and does not dust which increases handleability of the product during application.

Abstract: There is a need for a selective, low-risk herbicide that can be used to control weeds in cereal cultures and turf. The present invention discloses that a bacterial secondary metabolite, thaxtomin and optionally another herbicide is an effective herbicide on broadleaved, sedge and grass weeds. Thaxtomin A and structurally similar compounds can be used as natural herbicides to control the germination and growth of weeds in cereal, turf grass, Timothy grass and pasture grass cultures with no phytotoxicity to these crops. As a natural, non-toxic compound, thaxtomin can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in both conventional and organic farming and gardening systems.
