Abstract

Provided herein are herbicidal compositions and methods employing combinations of (a) a compound of formula (I):

or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof and (b) flurtamone. In certain embodiments the combinations include flufenacet or diflufenican as a third herbicidally active component.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A herbicidal composition comprising a synergistic herbicidally effective amount of the combination of (a) a compound of formula (I)

or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof and (b) flurtamone, wherein the composition does not contain glufosinate, L-glufosinate, or bialaphos.

2. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , further comprising flufenican as a third herbicidal active component.

3. The herbicidal composition of claim 1 , further comprising diflufenican as a third herbicidal active component.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein (a) is a C 1-4 alkyl or benzyl ester of compound of formula (I).

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein (a) is a methyl ester of the compound of formula (I).

6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising a herbicide safener.

7. The composition of claim 1 wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) is from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 30-250 of (b).

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of (a) to (b) is from about 1.25-5 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b).

9. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising (c) flufenacet as a third herbicidally active component, and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 30-250 of (b) to about 15-120 of (c).

10. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising (c) flufenacet as a third herbicidally active component, and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-5 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b) to about 30-60 of (c).

11. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising (c) diflufenican as a third herbicidally active component and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 30-250 of (b) to about 12.5-100 of (c).

12. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising (c) diflufenican as a third herbicidally active component, and wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I) and the weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) is from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b) to about 25-50 of (c).

13. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising an agriculturally acceptable adjuvant or carrier.

14. A method of controlling undesirable vegetation which comprises applying to an area comprising undesirable vegetation a herbicidally effective amount of the composition of claim 1 .

15. A method of controlling undesirable vegetation which comprises applying to an area comprising undesirable vegetation a synergistic herbicidally effective amount of a combination comprising the following herbicidally active components: (a) a compound of formula (I)

or an agriculturally acceptable salt or ester thereof and (b) flurtamone, wherein no glufosinate, L-glufosinate, or bialaphos is applied.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the undesirable vegetation is controlled in rice, wheat, triticale, barley, oats, rye, corn, maize, cereals, pastures, grasslands, rangelands, fallowland, and, industrial vegetation management or rights-of-way.

17. The method of claim 15 , wherein the undesirable vegetation is immature.

18. The method of claim 15 , wherein the herbicidally active components are applied pre-emergently.

19. The method of claim 15 , wherein the herbicidally active components are applied post-emergently.

20. The method of claim 15 , wherein the undesirable vegetation is controlled in glyphosate-, glufosinate-, dicamba-, phenoxy auxins-, pyridyloxy auxins-, aryloxyphenoxypropionates-, acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors-, imidazolinones-, acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors-, 4-hydroxyphenyl-pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors-, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) inhibitors-, triazines-, or bromoxynil-tolerant crop.

21. The method of claim 15 wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I), and the (a) and (b) are applied in a weight ratio of (a) to (b) of from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 30-250 of (b).

22. The method of claim 15 wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I), and the (a) and (b) are applied in a weight ratio of (a) to (b) of from about 1.25-5 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b).

23. The method of claim 15 , further comprising (c) diflufenican as a third herbicidally active component.

24. The method of claim 23 , wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I), and the (a) and (b) and (c) are applied in a weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) of from about 1.25-10 of (a) to about 30-250 of (b) to about 12.5-100 of (c).

25. The method of claim 23 , wherein (a) is the methyl ester of the compound of formula (I), and the (a) and (b) and (c) are applied in a weight ratio of (a) to (b) to (c) of from about 1.25-5 of (a) to about 62.5-125 of (b) to about 25-50 of (c).

26. The method of claim 15 , further comprising (c) flufenacet as a third herbicidally active component.
