Abstract

The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising pyroxasulfone. The invention also relates to methods and uses for controlling undesirable vegetation, in particular in crops.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A herbicidal composition comprising a synergistically herbicidal effective amount of (a) (±)-2-exo-(2-methylbenzyloxy)-1-methyl-4-isopropyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane, any of its individual enantiomers or any non-racemic mixture thereof (herbicide A) and (b) pyroxasulf one (herbicide B);
wherein the weight ratio of herbicide A to herbicide B is from 1:0.01 to 1:15.

2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the herbicide A is (±)-2-exo-(2-Methylbenzyloxy)-1-methyl-4-isopropyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane.

3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of herbicide A to herbicide B is from 1:0.02 to 1:6.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one safener D selected from the group consisting of benoxacor (D.1), cloquintocet (D.2), cyometrinil (D.3), cyprosulfamide (D.4), dichlormid (D.5), dicyclonon (D.6), dietholate (D.7), fenchlorazole (D.8), fenclorim (D.9), flurazole (D.10), fluxofenim (D.11), furilazole (D.12), isoxadifen (D.13), mefenpyr (D.14), mephenate (D.15), naphthaleneacetic acid (D.16), naphthalic anhydride (D.17), oxabetrinil (D.18), 4-(dichloroacetyl)-1-oxa-4-azaspiro[4.5]decane (MON4660, CAS 71526-07-3) (D.19), 2,2,5-trimethyl-3-(dichloroacetyl)-1,3-oxazolidine (R-29148, CAS 52836-31-4) (D.20), N-(2-Methoxybenzoyl)-4-[(methylaminocarbonyl)amino]benzenesulfonamide (CAS 129531-12-0) (D.21), and agriculturally acceptable salts, esters or amides thereof.

5. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising one or more auxiliaries customary in crop protection.

6. A method for controlling undesirable vegetation which comprises applying to the vegetation or the locus thereof or applying to the soil or water to control emergence or growth of the undesirable vegetation the composition as claimed in claim 1 .

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the undesirable vegetation is controlled in crop plants selected from wheat, barley, rye, triticale, oat, corn (maize), sunflower, rice, soybeans, peas, Vicia -beans, Phaseolus -beans, peanuts, oilseed rape, canola, cotton, potato, sugarbeet, sugarcane, turfgrasses and vegetables.

8. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the undesirable vegetation is selected from the genera Agropyron, Alopecurus, Apera, Avena, Brachiaria, Bromus, Cynodon, Digitaria, Echinochloa, Eleusine, Ischaemum, Leptochloa, Lolium, Panicum, Phalaris, Poa, Rottboellia, Setaria, Sorghum, Abutilon, Anthemis, Amaranthus, Ambrosia, Capsella, Centaurea, Chenopodium, Conyza, Descurainia, Galium, Geranium, Kochia, Matricaria, Papaver, Polygonum, Raphanus, Sinapis, Sisymbrium, Stellaria and Thlaspi.

9. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the undesirable vegetation is a herbicide resistant or tolerant weed species.

10. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the herbicide A and herbicide B are applied before or during the germination of the undesirable vegetation.

11. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the herbicide A is applied in an amount of from 10 to 1000 g/ha.

12. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the herbicide B is applied in an amount of from 10 to 750 g/ha.

13. The method of claim 6 , wherein the herbicide A is (±)-2-exo-(2-Methylbenzyloxy)-1-methyl-4-isopropyl-7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane.

14. The method of claim 6 , wherein the weight ratio of herbicide A to herbicide B is from 1:0.02 to 1:6.

15. The method of claim 6 , wherein the composition further comprises at least one safener D selected from the group consisting of benoxacor (D.1), cloquintocet (D.2), cyometrinil (D.3), cyprosulfamide (D.4), dichlormid (D.5), dicyclonon (D.6), dietholate (D.7), fenchlorazole (D.8), fenclorim (D.9), flurazole (D.10), fluxofenim (D.11), furilazole (D.12), isoxadifen (D.13), mefenpyr (D.14), mephenate (D.15), naphthaleneacetic acid (D.16), naphthalic anhydride (D.17), oxabetrinil (D.18), 4-(dichloroacetyl)-1-oxa-4-azaspiro[4.5]decane (MON4660, CAS 71526-07-3) (D.19), 2,2,5-trimethyl-3-(dichloroacetyl)-1,3-oxazolidine (R-29148, CAS 52836-31-4) (D.20), N-(2-Methoxybenzoyl)-4-[(methylaminocarbonyl)amino]benzenesulfonamide (CAS 129531-12-0) (D.21), and agriculturally acceptable salts, esters or amides thereof.
