  • Patent number: 8791049
    Abstract: Provided are improved agricultural processes for the improved cultivation of rice wherein the crops are treated to control undesired vegetative growth using a plant treatment composition comprising both halosulfuron and thifensulfuron to provide improved herbicidal efficacy against Heteranthera limosa, commonly referred to as “duck salad”. Also provided are compositions useful in the improved agricultural processes, as well as herbicidal treatment regimens. Unexpectedly high rates of efficacy against Heteranthera limosa, amongst rice plant in rice crops are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20130172184
    Abstract: Plant treatment compositions comprising metal alginate salts and further containing at least one amine compound (sometimes also herein referred to as the “first amine compound”), and additionally includes at least a pH buffer composition comprising a second amine compound (sometimes also herein referred to as the “second amine compound”), which compositions useful in the treatment of plants, particularly food crops. In certain embodiments, the plant treatment compositions are highly effective even wherein the content of metallic copper present is 500 ppm or even less in the plant treatment composition used to treat plants or crops. The plant treatment compositions are found to be highly effective even in the absence of herbicides, fungicides and pesticides.

  • Publication number: 20110237437
    Abstract: Provided are improved agricultural processes for the improved cultivation of crops of rice varieties modified to be tolerant to imparted with resistance to imidazolinone type herbicides wherein the crops are treated to control undesired vegetative growth using a halosulfuron methyl herbicidal composition to provide improved herbicidal efficacy. Also provided are compositions useful in the improved agricultural processes, as well as herbicidal treatment regimens. Unexpectedly high rates of efficacy against one or more of Sesbania hemp (Sesbania exaltata), Indian Joint vetch (Aeschynomene indica), and Alligator weed (Alternanthera philoxeroides) amongst rice crops are disclosed.
