  • Patent number: 6503869
    Abstract: A method for enhancing the effectiveness of post-emergent herbicides consists of the addition, to the post-emergent herbicidal composition, of an effective amount of a compound of the formula R1COO−X+ (I) wherein R1 is a C7 to C11 hydrocarbyl group optionally substituted with one or more hydroxyl or C1-C5 hydrocarbyl groups, and X is ammonium. The advantages of using a compound of formula (I) with the post-emergent herbicide include a faster visual phytotoxic response, better weed control and use of less post-mergent herbicide.
