Abstract: A compound having the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently hydrogen or lower alkyl, said compound possessing herbicidal properties.
Abstract: A method and compositions for reducing injury to crops, especially wheat and sorghum, by acetanilide selective herbicides employing compounds having in common the base structure ##STR1## wherein Y and Y' are oxygen or sulfur.
Abstract: N-phosphonomethyl glycine is produced by the strong acid catalyzed hydrolysis of N-(phosphonomethyl) imino-diacetic acid. N-phosphonomethyl glycine is useful as a post-emergent herbicide.
Abstract: N-phenylsulfonamido-N-phosphonomethyl glycine and certain derivatives thereof have been found to be useful in the treatment of sugarcane plants to increase their sucrose content.
Abstract: Hydroxyalkyl esters of N-phosphonomethyl glycine and their salts and a process for their preparation are described. These esters and salts are useful as contact herbicides.
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for preparing substituted phenyl phosphinic acids and derivatives thereof by photolysis of aryl iodides in the presence of alkyl phosphonites.
Abstract: The disclosure herein pertains to the use of certain 3-[(naphthyl, or substituted-phenyl)imino]-phthalides, some of whose members are novel, to regulate the natural growth or development of plants.
Abstract: The sucrose content of sugar cane plants is increased by treating the plants, prior to harvest, with N-methylated glycines and certain salts thereof.
Abstract: N-Nitroso-N-phosphonomethylglycine compounds have been produced by the reaction of an inorganic nitrite and N-phosphonomethylglycine. These compounds are useful as post-emergent herbicides.
Abstract: Effective plant growth regulation is obtained by the application of 3-thiabicyclo(3.2.0)heptane-6,7-dicarboxylic anhydride 3,3-dioxide to plants.
Abstract: Alkoxy and alkylthio substituted phenyl phosphonous dichlorides are prepared by a process employing stannic chloride, titanium tetrachloride or mixtures thereof as catalyst.
Abstract: Pyridinium, pyridazinium, pyrimidinium, and pyrazinium halides, respectively having an N-(phenacyl) substituent and the corresponding ylids obtained therefrom by alkaline treatment which compounds are useful as herbicides and/or insecticides.
