Abstract

The invention relates to novel 2,4,6-phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols of the formula (I), in which CKE, W, X and Y are as defined above, to a plurality of processes and intermediates for their preparation and to their use as pesticides and/or herbicides, and also to selective herbicidal compositions comprising firstly the 2,4,6-phenyl-substituted cyclic ketoenols and secondly at least one compound which improves crop plant tolerance.
