Abstract: The subject invention provides a method of controlling undesired vegetation in the vicinity of an ACCase tolerant sorghum crop comprising applying a) an effective amount of an ACCase inhibiting herbicide; and b) an effective amount of isoxadifen, esters, or salts thereof to a locus of the undesired vegetation so as to effectively control the undesired vegetation.

Abstract: The subject invention provides a herbicidal mixture for controlling undesired vegetation in the vicinity of an herbicide resistant rice crop, wherein the herbicidal mixture comprises a) an acetyl Co-A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicide or a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibiting herbicide or an acetolactate (acetohydroxy acid) synthase ALS (MIAS) inhibiting herbicides or combinations thereof and b) an herbicide safener selected from isoxadifen, cloquintocet, AD-67, benoxacor and fenclorim, and esters, salts and combinations thereof. The present invention also provides compositions comprising the herbicidal mixtures disclosed herein and methods of controlling undesired vegetation in the vicinity of a rice crop using the herbicidal mixtures and compositions disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to variable resistance zones for sensing input to an electronic device, as well as ministops for controlling deformation of the input components to ensure the accuracy of the inputs sensed. In one embodiment, a system in accordance with the present invention includes multiple variable resistors, an actuator, and a converter. The actuator overlies the multiple pressure-sensitive variable resistors and is configured to generate a pressure at a contact location on the multiple variable resistors. The converter is coupled to the multiple variable resistors and is programmed to map a pressure at the contact location to a pressure, location, or both along the surface of the actuator.

Abstract: A herbicidally active composition, comprising (A) one or more sulfonylureas from the group consisting of metsulfuron, thifensulfuron, tribenuron, chlorsulfuron and their salts and esters, and (B) one or more safeners from the group consisting of mefenpyr, isoxadifen, cloquintocet, fenchlorazole and their salts and esters.

Abstract: A planting machine for delivering liquid pesticides to the soil mixing zone preceding the furrow closing mechanism to effectively distribute liquid pesticide throughout soil covering seed in a furrow. The planting machine has a furrow opening mechanism, seed dispensing means, and furrow closing mechanism and includes a seed positioning means mounted on the seed dispensing means for effectively locating seeds in the furrow. Also, the planting machine includes means for liquid pesticide spray delivery mounted thereon so as to direct a spray towards the furrow closing mechanism and into the soil mixing zone being created by the furrow closing mechanism. The means for spray delivery can be mounted on the conventional seed positioning means as well as independently mounted on the planting machine.
