Abstract: The present invention relates to a to a method of controlling the growth of weeds, in particular, large crabgrass and white clover, using a herbicidal composition comprising mesotrione and a triazolinone herbicide such as sulfentrazone or carfentrazone-ethyl. The invention also relates to the use of this composition.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method which enables the user to select a suitable soya variety as a subsequent crop to maize when weed control in that maize crop has been carried out using HPPD inhibitor herbicides in a manner that “carry-over” damage to the soya crop is thereby avoided. The method includes the step of first selecting a “reference soya” that exhibits a visually determinable phytotoxicity with respect to the HPPD inhibitor herbicide used to carry out weed control on the maize crop. Next, the phytotoxicity of various soya varieties is determined in relation to the reference soya variety in the form of a factor. This factor can be expressed, for example, in letters, numbers, symbols, colors or other visual or acoustic signals or in words. These soya varieties are then labeled with the factor and can be made accessible to the user. For example, the factor can be indicated on or inside the product packaging or in an accompanying leaflet.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of labelling soya varieties as to their suitability as a subsequent crop to maize when weed control in that maize crop has been carried out using HPPD inhibitor herbicides, wherein: a) in a first step, a reference soya variety is selected which, when grown as a subsequent crop to maize wherein weed control has been carried out using HPPD inhibitor herbicides, exhibits a visually determinable phytotoxicity with respect to those HPPD inhibitor herbicides; b) in a second step, the phytotoxicity of soya varieties when grown as a subsequent crop to maize wherein weed control has been carried out using HPPD inhibitor herbicides is determined in relation to that reference soya variety in the form of a factor; and c) in a third step, said soya varieties are labelled with said factor.
