Abstract

Suitable for controlling harmful plants in sugar beet crops composed of tolerant or resistant mutants or transgenic sugar beet plants are 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 and (A3) imidazolinones or their salts and (B) herbicides from the group consisting of (B0) one or more structurally different herbicides from the abovementioned group (A) or (B1) foliar- and predominantly soil-acting herbicides which are active against monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous harmful plants, or (B2) herbicides which are active predominantly against dicotyledonous harmful plants, and (B3) herbicides which are predominantly foliar-acting and which can be employed against monocotyledonous harmful plants, or (B4) herbicides which are both foliar- and soil-acting and which can be employed against monocotyledonous harmful plants, or of herbicides of more than one of groups (B0) to (B4), the sugar beet crops tolerating the herbicides (A) and (B) present in the combination, if appropriate in the presence of safeners. If appropriate, the combinations are also suitable for regulating the growth or else for controlling the yield or the constituents of sugar beet plants.

Claims (30)

1. A method for controlling harmful plants in sugar beet crops which comprises applying to the crops, seeds, plants, plant organs or area under cultivation a synergistically effective amount of a combination of

A) one or more broad-spectrum herbicide selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula (A2) or their salts,

and

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

B2) desmedipham, phenmedipham, quinmerac or their salts,

B3) haloxyfop, haloxyfop-P, or the salts or esters of the last-mentions two compounds, and

B4) cycloxydim

and optionally, a safener

whereby, the sugar beet crops tolerate the broad spectrum herbicides (A) and the herbicidal compounds (B).

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the broad spectrum herbicide is glyphosate-isopropyl ammonium.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combination further comprises additional active ingredients used in crop protection.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combinations are applied jointly with auxiliaries conventionally used in crop protection and/or formulation auxiliaries.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combination is applied pre-emergently and the compounds comprising the combination are applied jointly or separately.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combination is applied post-emergently and the compounds comprising the combination are applied jointly or separately.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the combination is applied both pre-emergently and post-emergently.

8. A herbicidal composition which comprises a combination comprising synergistic effective amounts of

A) one or more broad-spectrum herbicides selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula (A2) or their salts,

and

B) one ore more herbicidal compounds selected from the group consisting of

B2′) desmedipham, phenmedipham, quinmerac or their salts,

B3′) haloxyfop, haloxyfop-P or the salts or esters of these compounds, and

B4′) cycloxydim

and, optionally, additive and/or formulation aids conventionally used in crop protection.

9. A herbicidal composition which comprises a composition comprising synergistic effective amounts of a combination comprising

A) at least one broad-spectrum herbicide compound selected from the group consisting of at least one compound of the formula A2) or their salts,

and

B) at least one herbicidal compound selected from the group consisting of

B2′) desmedipham, phenmedipham, quinmerac and the salts of these compounds and, optionally, additives and/or formulation aids conventionally used in crop protection.

10. A method for controlling harmful plants in sugar beet crops which comprises applying to the crops, seeds, plants, plant organs or area under cultivation a herbicidal composition according to claim 8 , whereby the sugar beet crops tolerate the broad-spectrum herbicide (A) and the herbicidal compounds (B).

11. A method for controlling harmful plants in sugar beet crops which comprises applying to the crops, seeds, plants, plant organs or area under cultivation a herbicidal composition according to claim 9 , whereby the sugar beet crops tolerate the broad-spectrum herbicide (A) and the herbicidal compounds (B).
