Abstract: The present invention relates to novel stable aqueous suspension concentrate or aqueous flowable compositions of the low-melting dinitroaniline pesticide, pendimethalin, in combination with secondary herbicide(s) melting at temperatures greater than 70.degree. C. or herbicides which are water soluble. Uniquely, pendimethalin may be present in the compositions of the invention in a ratio of orange crystal form to yellow crystal form of 4:96, up to totally orange crystal form. Additionally are provided methods for preparing the compositions containing pendimethalin alone or in combination with the secondary herbicides.

Abstract: Agricultural formulations of fluroxypyr that contain an ester of fluroxypyr that is liquid at ambient temperatures, such as the 1-butoxy-2-propyl ester or the 2-ethylhexyl ester, and that contain a reduced amount of organic solvent or no organic solvent are disclosed. The formulations have good physical properties and are highly effective herbicides.

Abstract: The invention relates to comparatively low viscosity aqueous preparations which contain glufosinate and at least one further herbicide active substance dispersed in the aqueous phase, a combination of all .alpha.-olefin sulfonate and co-surfactants such as condensation products based on aromatics, alkanols, formaldehyde and disulfite or condensation products based on naphthalenesulfonic acid or ligninsulfonates being employed as surfactants.

Abstract: Herbicidal compositions comprising, as active ingredients, a triazine compound of the formula (I): ##STR1## wherein Z is oxygen, sulfur or ##STR2## X.sup.2 is methyl or fluorine, n is 0 to 2,R.sup.1 is hydrogen or methyl, andX.sup.1 is fluorine or chlorine, and(i) a mixture of (a) an aryloxyphenoxy herbicide, or an optical isomer thereof, of the formula (II): ##STR3## and (b) a safener for crop injury of the formula (III): ##STR4## (ii) an aryloxyphenoxy herbicide of the formula (IV): ##STR5## The herbicidal compositions have a synergistic herbicidal effect against a wide spectrum of weeds, without incurring crop injury.

Abstract: Herbicidal compositions comprising as active ingredients a triazine derivative represented by general formula [I]: ##STR1## and compound represented by general formula [II]: ##STR2## By synergistic effects of active ingredients, the herbicidal compositions show a high herbicidal effect at low dosage and have such a wide range of herbicidal spectrum that the compositions exhibit their high herbicidal effect not only against broad-leaved weeds but also against Gramineae weeds, etc. The compositions have flexibility of treatment to exhibit effectiveness as compared to known herbicides for field crops and crops are free from injury.

Abstract: Stabilized liquid herbicidal compositions containing at least one substituted phenyl carbamate of the general formula I ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl group or an aryl group, which aryl group may be substituted by a halogen atom and/or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl group and/or a trifluoromethyl group, and R.sup.2 represents a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyl or C.sub.2 -C.sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to comparatively low viscosity aqueous preparations which contain glufosinate and at least one further herbicide active substance dispersed in the aqueous phase, a combination of an .alpha.-olefin sulfonate and co-surfactants such as condensation products based on aromatics, alkanals, formaldehyde and disulfite or condensation products based on naphthalenesulfonic acid or ligninsulfonates being employed as surfactants.

Abstract: Disclosed are herbicidal concentrate formulation compositions having reduced grass crop plant phytotoxicity comprising certain sulfonamide or sulfonylurea herbicides in admixture with a herbicidal organic acid from the group consisting of clopyralid, 2,4-D, 2,4-DP, dicamba, dichlorprop-P, fluroxypyr MCPA, MCPP, mecoprop-P, picloram, triclopyr or mixtures of said acids; also disclosed is the preparation of said compositions and the pre- and post-emergent agricultural uses thereof in water diluted form.

Abstract: Microcapsule formulations are combined with emulsions or particle dispersions in a single-package formulation which is storage-stable and provides substantially the full efficacy of each of the two forms as if applied individually. The single-package formulation is suspension having two dispersed phases--the first being an active species encapsulated in a shell of inert polymeric diffusion-limiting material (i.e., a microcapsule), and the second being an active species in water-insoluble form with no diffusion-limiting barrier at its surface. An appropriate suspension system is included to prevent the dispersed phases from agglomerating within themselves and with each other. The invention is useful in combining two different active ingredients as well as in combining immediate-delivery and delayed-delivery forms of the same active ingredient.

Abstract: The invention relates to synergistic herbicidally active compositions. The quantity required for a given herbicidal effect is substantially lower than that required for the herbicide itself. The compositions of the invention comprise in combination a herbicide which brings about active oxygen species formation in plants and a substance which binds copper or zinc, or a substance which reacts with a thiol moiety of a thiol containing enzyme. The herbicide and metal binding or thiol binding component can be applied together or separately.

Abstract: Compositions that contain, in admixture with one another, as active ingredient, on the one hand N-[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)-phenylsulphonyl]-N'-(4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazin-2- yl)-urea of the formula ##STR1## and on the other hand one or two of the active ingredients of the formulae II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV and XV defined herein exhibit synergistic herbicidal action in rice.

Abstract: Described and claimed are methods and compositions for the control of unwanted vegetation. According to the subject invention, a fatty acid or mixture of fatty acids can be combined with one or more chemical herbicides to achieve synergistic control of a broad range of plants.
