METHODS OF CONTROLLING UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION WITH IMIDAZOLINONE HERBICIDES AND ADJUVANTS IN HERBICIDE RESISTANT CROP PLANTS

摘要

A herbicidal composition comprising: a) a herbicide compound A, which is selected from the group of imidazolinones; and b) an adjuvant B, which is a surfactant selected from the groups b1 to b5: B1) a nonionic surfactant of the formula R1Xn and polyalkoxylated derivatives thereof, wherein R1 is selected from aliphatic or aromatic residues having at least eight carbon atoms; X is selected from hydroxy, -O-(C1-C6-alkyl), -О-(С3-С6-аlkеnуl), amine, amide, or ester; and n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6; b2) an an-ionic surfactant of the formula R1Xn, wherein R1 is selected from aliphatic or aromatic residues having at least eight carbon atoms; Y is selected from carboxylate, sulfonate, sulfate, phosphate, or phosphonate; and n is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6; b3) a cationic surfactant; b4) а zwitterionic surfactant; or b5) a polymeric surfactant; and wherein the weight ratio of the herbicide compound A and the adjuvant В is from 2:1 to 1 :60; and the use of the said compositions for controlling undesirable vegetation.
