Abstract: Corrosion of metal surfaces contacted by aqueous agricultural compositions containing as an active ingredient an aminomethylenephosphonic acid, such as N-phosphonomethylglycine or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof is inhibited by the inclusion in the compositions of an inhibiting amount of a thiol compound or salt thereof.
Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to .alpha.-chloroacetamides substituted on the amide nitrogen atom with certain cycloalken-1-yl and heterocyclic radicals. These acetamides are useful as herbicides.
Abstract: The natural growth and development of dicotyledonous crop plants is regulated by treatment with certain ethyl N-alkyl-N-substituted cyclohexane thiolcarbamates.
Abstract: 2-Hydroxybenzothiazole compounds are prepared by reacting o-aminobenzenethiol with carbonyl sulfide in the presence of a tertiary amine and a solvent.
Abstract: Salts of N-phosphonomethylglycine are produced by forming a salt of N-phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid with a salt-forming cation in an aqueous medium and then oxidizing the salt solution with an oxygen-containing gas in the presence of a platinum on activated carbon catalyst. The salts produced are useful as herbicides or plant growth regulants.
Abstract: 3-Aryl-4-isothiazolecarboxylic acids as well as 3-aryl-4-isoxazolecarboxylic acids have been found to be effective plant growth regulants especially when applied to soybean plants.
Abstract: The sesquisodium salt of N-phosphonomethylglycine is a unique crystalline compound which has utility as a post-emergent herbicide and is also useful to increase the sucrose content of sugarcane.
Abstract: 2-(5-Aryl or substituted aryl-3-isoxazolyl) benzoic acids or benzoates, e.g., 2-[5-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-isoxazolyl] benzoic acid, and to their method of use as herbicides and plant growth regulants as well as to agricultural chemical compositions thereof.
Abstract: The disclosure herein relates to a novel process for the preparation of bicyclothiadiazinones. In particular the process involves an acid-catalyzed cyclization of the appropriate sulfamoyl acid or ester using a mixture of trifluoroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic anhydride as catalyst.
Abstract: Certain 2-[5-(aryl or substituted aryl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl] benzoic acids, salts and esters having the formula: ##STR1## where R is hydrogen, lower alkyl and agriculturally acceptable cations and aryl is phenyl, naphthyl and phenyl substituted by one or more halogen, trifluoromethyl, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy moieties, (e.g., methyl 2-[5-(3-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl] benzoate), in a method of controlling undesirable vegetation and a method of regulating the growth of desirable plants.
Abstract: This disclosure relates to N-organo-N-phosphonomethylglycine-N-oxides and derivatives thereof, to processes for producing same, and to herbicidal compositions and herbicidal methods. These compounds and the compositions containing them are useful as phytotoxicants or herbicides.

Abstract: 2-[3-aryl-2-isoxazolin-5-yl]benzoates and their use as intermediates for agricultural chemicals. The subject isoxazolines can be converted to the corresponding isoxazoles. The latter are useful as herbicides and as plant growth regulants.
Abstract: Certain 3-phenacyl and phenacylidene phthalimidines, and the corresponding naphthoyl derivatives, are novel compounds which possess biological activity in the treatment of plants to control their growth.
