  • Patent number: 4545805
    Abstract: Herbicidally active thiolcarbamates are employed in combination with certain organophosphate compounds having the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and lower alkyl having from about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms;R.sub.5 is lower alkyl having from about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms;R.sub.6 is lower alkyl having from about 1 to about 6 carbon atoms;X is selected from the group consisting of oxygen or sulfur, andY is selected from the group consisting of oxygen or sulfur.In a typical application, the organophosphate compound is included in sufficient quantity to lessen the rate of soil degradation of the thiolcarbamate. As a result, the herbicidal effectiveness of the thiolcarbamate is enhanced and prolonged, rendering a single application of the herbicide effective over a longer period of time.
