Abstract: The invention relates to acetamides of the formula (III), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 stands for a halogenated alkyl group containing 1 to 2 carbon atoms, preferably for a dichloro- or dibromoalkyl group;R.sup.2 stands for a straight or branched alkyl group containing 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an alkenyl group containing 2 to 6, preferably 3, carbon atoms;R.sup.3 stands for an alkyl group containing 1 to 6, preferably 1 to 4, carbon atoms, an alkoxyalkyl group of altogether 2 to 6, suitably 4 carbon atoms, or a phenyl group;R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 together may stand for a propylene or butylene group;R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 stand independently from each other for hydrogen or a methyl group; andR.sup.4 and R.sup.5 together may stand for a propylene or butylene group.These compounds are antidotes and can be used along or together with herbicidal agents. The invention comprises such compositions and a process for the preparation of said compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions (extenders) useful for prolonging the action of herbicides containing thiolcarbamate derivatives as active ingredients as well as to herbicide compositions with a prolonged action containing thiolcarbamate derivatives as active ingredients and optionally an antidote which comprises a diaminomethane derivative of the general formula (III) ##STR1## wherein the R substituents stand independently from one another for C.sub.1-6 alkyl groups or for C.sub.2-4 alkenyl groups optionally substituted by a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group; and a process for prolonging the actin of herbicide compositions containing a thiolcarbamate derivative and optionally an antidote, which comprises applying the above mentioned composition in a quantity providing the prolonged action simultaneously with or after the application of the herbicide composition.

The invention comprises such compositions and a process for the preparation of said compounds.

Abstract: This invention relates to herbicidal compositions containing N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine or a non-phytotoxic salt thereof, in combination with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid or .alpha.-naphthylacetic acid or non-phytotoxic salt of these compounds.By using the compositions according to the invention the herbicidally effective amount of N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine can considerably be reduced in comparison with the commercially available compositions, which contain N-(phosphonomethyl)-glycine as an only active ingredient.

Abstract: A herbicidal composition capable of preventing weed growth of potatoes or soybean plants consists of a triazene or an aromatic nitro compound together with an inorganic salt, especially sodium bisulfate or potassium bisulfate which reduced the quantity of the organic herbicide below that usually required to obtain a corresponding herbicidal effect and hence prevents phytotoxic damage. The composition contains 0.1:1 to 15:1 parts by weight of the inorganic compound to the organic compound and is applied in an amount of 0.1 to 30 kg of the composition per hectare.
