  • Patent number: 5854176
    Abstract: There is provided a method for protecting crop plants from phytotoxic injury caused by a chloroacetamide herbicide by co-applying a non-phytotoxic, conditioning effective amount of a benzothiadiazinone derivative. The method is particularly effective in protecting dry edible beans from phytotoxicity when dimethenamid is applied postemergence.
