Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for improving the efficacy of anionic herbicides (B) under hard water conditions, comprising the steps of a) providing at least one anionic herbicide (B) and at least one aminocarboxylate (A), selected from the group consisting of methylglycine diacetate (MGDA; A1), glutamic acid diacetate (GLDA; A2), iminodisuccinate (IDS; A3), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)imino diacetate (HEIDA; A4), ethylenediamine-N,N?-disuccinate (EDDS; A5) and their salts; b) diluting components (A) and (B) with water, wherein the concentration of dissolved calcium, magnesium, iron and aluminum salts in said water is more than 120 ppm; and c) applying the diluted mixture to the area to be treated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the control of aquatic weeds which comprises applying a herbicidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I) wherein X is halogen and R is halogen or C1-C6 alkyl, and/or one or more agriculturally acceptable salts thereof to act on submersed aquatic weeds and/or their aqueous habitat containing seeds or other propagating organs of said aquatic weeds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel soluble liquid (SL) formulations comprising A) quinclorac ammonium salts of formula I wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl, and B) a solvents of formula IIa wherein R5 is alkyl; A is alkylene or oxyalkylene; and m is 0, 1, 2 or 3; and/or a solvent of formula IIb HO—B—OH??(IIb) wherein B is a straight-chain or branched alkylene or alkyleneoxyalkylene or alkyleneoxyalkyleneoxyalkylene.

Abstract: A method for controlling coniferous plants, in particular naturally seeded coniferous plants (wildling conifers), wherein an effective amount of at least one herbicide selected from the group consisting of sulfentrazone, carfentrazone, their agriculturally acceptable salts and their agriculturally acceptable derivatives is applied to the coniferous plants to be controlled or to their parts, such as roots, leaves, seeds or germinants.

Abstract: A cue stick is provided such that a handicapped person can play pool/billiards using one arm/hand from a wheelchair if desired. The spring-loaded 2 section cue stick can be cocked and made to propel the cue ball into the object ball or rail by means of a tensioning and trigger release system that allows the player to cock, position and shoot in one connected motion with one arm/hand. The stick is also equipped with variable tension positions, or settings, affording the player the ability to select the amount of force with which the cue tip strikes the cue ball; thus producing a hard or soft shot. A variable height foot is provided near the cue tip end of the stick to allow the player to raise or lower the impact point of the cue tip on the cue ball. The foot also provides a means for the player to bridge over top of a ball close to the cue ball.

Abstract: A rallye wheel hub cab retaining device is provided for securing the hub cap to the vehicle's wheel lug, whereby deterring theft of the hub cap. A fixed length of cable is secured to the hub cap on one end by means of four stud terminals, each secured to the existing bolts of the cap. The opposite end, fitted with a loop and "S" hook, is bolted to the wheel lug, and held fast by the wheel lug nut. The relatively simple device secures the hub cap to the wheel, yet still allows enough slack to gain access to the wheel nuts. The device is short enough to safely allow the cap to rotate with the wheel, without striking the vehicle's fender well, should the cap come loose from the rim.
