Abstract

Herbicide combinations (A)+(B), if appropriate in the presence of safeners, with an effective content of (A) broad-spectrum herbicides from the group (A1) glufosinate (salts) and related compounds (A2) glyphosate (salts) and related compounds such as sulfosate, (A3) imidazolinones such as imazethapyr, imazapyr, imazaquin, imazamox or their salts and (A4) herbicidal azoles from the group of the protoporphyrinogen oxidase inhibitors (PPO inhibitors) and (A5) the hydroxybenzonitriles and (B) herbicides from the group consisting of (B0) one or more structurally different herbicides from the abovementioned group (A), (B1) foliar- and soil-acting herbicides which are effective against monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous harmful plants, (B2) predominantly foliar-acting herbicides which are effective against dicotyledonous harmful plants, (B3) predominantly foliar-acting herbicides which are effective against monocotyledonous harmful plants, and (B4) foliar- and soil-acting herbicides which are effective against predominantly monocotyledonous harmful plants are suitable for controlling harmful plants in cotton which consists of tolerant or resistant mutants or transgenic cotton plants.

Claims (51)

1. A method for controlling harmful plants in cotton crops, which comprises applying a herbicide combination to the harmful plants or to the area where the harmful plants reside; wherein the herbicidal combination comprises a synergistically active content of

(A) one or more broad-spectrum herbicides, or the salts thereof, selected from the group of the compounds consisting of

(A1) compounds of the formula (A1):

where Z is a radical of the formula —OH;

and

(B) one or more herbicides selected from the group of compounds consisting of

(B1) norflurazon, clomazone and trifluralin;

(B2) bispyribac and its salts and pyrithiobac and its salts;

(B3) quizalofop-P and its esters, quizalofop and its esters, fenoxaprop-P and its esters, fenoxaprop and its esters, fluazifop-P and its esters, fluazifop and its esters, and propaquizafop;

and

(B4) sethoxydim, cycloxydim, and clethodim; wherein

the cotton crops are tolerant to the herbicides (A) and (B) contained in the combination, optionally in the presence of safeners, and wherein the combination of herbicides (A) and (B) provides a synergistic effect and gives a greater activity than the herbicide (A) and the herbicide (B) alone.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein glufosinate-ammonium is employed as active substance (A).

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the norflurazon is employed as component (B).

4. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the norflurazon is employed as component (B).

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the clomazone is employed as component (B).

6. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the clomazone is employed as component (B).

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the trifluralin is employed as component (B).

8. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the trifluralin is employed as component (B).

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the bispyribac-sodium is employed as component (B).

10. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the bispyribac-sodium is employed as component (B).

11. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the pyrithiobac is employed as component (B).

12. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the pyrithiobac is employed as component (B).

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the quizalofop-P-ethyl is employed as component (B).

14. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the quizalofop-P-ethyl is employed as component (B).

15. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is employed as component (B).

16. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fenoxaprop-P-ethyl is employed as component (B).

17. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the fluazifop-P-butyl is employed as component (B).

18. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the fluazifop-P-butyl is employed as component (B).

19. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the propaquizafop is employed as component (B).

20. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the propaquizafop is employed as component (B).

21. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sethoxydim is employed as component (B).

22. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the sethoxydim is employed as component (B).

23. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cycloxydim is employed as component (B).

24. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the cycloxydim is employed as component (B).

25. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the clethodim is employed as component (B).

26. The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the clethodim is employed as component (B).

27. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the herbicide combination comprises other crop protection active ingredients.

28. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the herbicide combination comprises adjuvants and formulation auxiliaries conventionally used in crop protection.

29. A herbicidal composition which comprises

(A) one or more broad-spectrum herbicides, or the salts thereof, selected from the group of compounds consisting of:

(A1) compounds of the formula (A1):

where Z is a radical of the formula —OH, or the salts thereof;

and

(B) one or more herbicides selected from the group of the compounds consisting of

(B2) bispyribac and its salts and pyrithiobac and its salts; wherein the combination of herbicides (A) and (B) provides a synergistic effect and gives a greater activity than the herbicide (A) and the herbicide (B) alone.

30. The herbicidal composition as claimed in claim 29 , wherein glufosinate-ammonium is employed as active substance (A).

31. The herbicidal composition as claimed in claim 29 , wherein the bispyribac-sodium is employed as component (B).

32. The herbicidal composition as claimed in claim 30 , wherein the bispyribac-sodium is employed as component (B).

33. The herbicidal composition as claimed in claim 29 , wherein the pyrithiobac is employed as component (B).

34. The herbicidal composition as claimed in claim 30 , wherein the pyrithiobac is employed as component (B).
