  • Patent number: 9832996
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for modulating (e.g., inhibiting) emergence and growth of monocotyledonous or dicotyledonous plants (e.g., weeds and grasses) using sarmentine and/or a sarmentine analog and a second herbicide. The application of sarmentine and/or a sarmentine analog with a second herbicide to a plant and/or its growth substrate results in a synergistic pre- and/or post-emergence herbicidal activity against the plant. The present method also provides compositions comprising sarmentine and/or a sarmentine analog, in combination with a second herbicide.

  • Patent number: 9066516
    Abstract: There is a need for a selective, low-risk herbicide that can be used to control weeds in cereal cultures and turf. The present invention discloses that a bacterial secondary metabolite, thaxtomin and optionally another herbicide is an effective herbicide on broadleaved, sedge and grass weeds. Thaxtomin A and structurally similar compounds can be used as natural herbicides to control the germination and growth of weeds in cereal, turf grass, Timothy grass and pasture grass cultures with no phytotoxicity to these crops. As a natural, non-toxic compound, thaxtomin can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in both conventional and organic farming and gardening systems.
