Abstract: Herbicidal compositions having an effective amount of aclonifen and the other herbicide diflufenican. These herbicidal compositions have an improved application profile.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising A) one or more sulfonylureas of the formula (I) and/or their salts  in which R1 is C2-C4-alkoxy or CO—Ra, where Ra equals OH, C1-C4-alkoxy or NRbRc, in which Rb and Rc independently of one another are identical or different and are H or C1-C4-alkyl, R2 is halogen or (A)n—NRdRe, in which n equals zero or 1, A is a group CR′R″, in which R′ and R″ independently of one another are identical or different and are H or C1-C4-alkyl, Rd equals H or C1-C4-alkyl and Re is an acyl radical and, in the event that R1 equals C2-C4-alkoxy, Re may also be H, R3 is H or C1-C4-alkyl, m equals zero or 1, X and Y independently of one another are identical or different and are C1-C6-alkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy or C1-C6-alkylthio, each of the three radicals mentioned being unsubstituted or substituted by one or more radicals selected from the group consisting of halogen, C1-C4-alkoxy and C1-C4-alkylthio, or a

Abstract: An improved fungicidal composition is a mixture of (a) fungicide used to combat phytopathogenic fungi and (b) at least one phosphonate or phosphinate of formula R.sup.1 R.sup.2 P(O)OR.sup.3 where R.sup.1 is C.sub.6-20 alkyl, C.sub.6-20 alkoxy or optionally substituted phenyl, R.sup.2 is benzyl, C.sub.6-20 alkyl optionally interrupted by NH or O, di-C.sub.6-20 alkylamino or the group --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --R.sup.1 P(O)OR.sup.3, and R.sup.3 C.sub.6-20 alkyl. Some of the compounds of formula (I) are novel.
