  • Patent number: 8211831
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method to use synergistic composition made of a herbicidally effective amount of a propanil-based product, such as Super Wham® (propanil) and the at least one ACCase inhibitor herbicide such as Clincher® (cyhalofop) in an amount sufficient to facilitate the herbicidal activity of the propanil-based herbicide. It has been found that this synergistic composition, when applied to a field of rice, allows a reduction in the amount of herbicide needed, greater flexibility in timing of the application and broad spectrum of weed control.

  • Patent number: 8188006
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to increase the effectiveness of an imidazolinone herbicide to suppress weedy forms of rice growth used with imidazolinone tolerant rice strains. This method involves applying an imidazolinone herbicide to imidazolinone tolerant rice strains in a field and applying either a propanil based herbicide or a thiobencarb herbicide to this rice crop, wherein the herbicide includes a synergistically effective amount a herbicidally inactive ingredient. The propanil based herbicide synergistically affects the activity of an imidazolinone herbicide by increasing the effectiveness of an imidazolinone herbicide used with the rice to suppress weedy forms of rice growth, such as red rice.

  • Patent number: 8183177
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to increase the effectiveness of an imidazolinone herbicide to suppress weedy forms of rice growth used with imidazolinone tolerant rice strains. This method involves applying an imidazolinone herbicide to imidazolinone tolerant rice strains in a field and applying a propanil based herbicide to this rice crop, wherein the herbicide includes a herbicidally effective amount a herbicidally active ingredient including propanil and a synergistically effective amount a herbicidally inactive ingredient. The propanil based herbicide synergistically affects the activity of an imidazolinone herbicide by increasing the effectiveness of an imidazolinone herbicide used with the rice to suppress weedy forms of rice growth, such as weedy forms of rice.
