a) one or more herbicidally active pyridylsulfonylurea compounds in suspended form, and
b) one or more organic solvents.
2 . The oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 which comprises, as component a), one or more herbicidally active dioxazinepyridylsulfonylurea compounds.
3 . The oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 which comprises, as component b), one or more solvents selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbons, polar solvents and fatty esters.
4 . The oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 which additionally comprises, comprises c) one or more safeners optionally selected from the group consisting of dichlorophenylpyrazoline-3-carboxylic acid and its esters, 5,5 diphenyl-2-isoxazoline-3-carboxylic acid and its esters and 8-quinolineoxyacetic acid and its esters.
5 . The oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 4 which additionally comprises d) one or more sulfosuccinates optionally selected from the group consisting of monoesters and diesters of sulfosuccinic acid.
6 . The oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 5 which additionally comprises.
e) one or more agrochemically active compounds different from a) and c),
f) one or more inorganic salts and/or
g) customary auxiliaries and additives.
7 . A process for preparing an oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 which comprises mixing and optionally grinding components (a) and (b).
8 . A method for controlling unwanted plants which comprises applying an oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 to the plants, a seed or an area on which plants grow.
9 - 11 . (canceled)
12 . A herbicidal composition obtainable by diluting an oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 .
13 . A process for preparing a herbicidal composition comprising diluting an oil suspension concentrate as claimed in claim 1 .
14 . A method for controlling unwanted plants which comprises applying a herbicidal composition as claimed in claim 12 to the plants, a seed or an area on which plants grow.
15 - 16 . (canceled)
17 . The herbicidal composition of claim 12 , wherein the herbicidal composition is a suspension, an emulsion, a suspoemulsion or a solution.
18 . The herbicidal composition of claim 12 further comprising one or more sulfosuccinates and/or one or more inorganic salts.
19 . A method of stabilizing the herbicidal composition of claim 12 comprising contacting one or more sulfosuccinates and/or one or more inorganic salts with said composition.
20 . The oil suspension concentrate of claim 2 , wherein the one or more dioxazinepyridylsulfonylureas are selected from compounds having the following formula (I) and/or salts thereof:
in which
A is nitrogen or a CR 1 grouping, where
R 11 is hydrogen, alkyl, halogen or haloalkyl,
R 1 is hydrogen or an optionally substituted radical selected from the group consisting of alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxyalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkylalkyl, aralkyl and aryl,
R 2 is hydrogen, halogen or is in each case optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino or dialkylamino having in each case 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
R 3 is hydrogen, halogen or is in each case optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylamino or dialkylamino having in each case 1 to 6 carbon atoms,
R 4 —R 7 independently of one another are hydrogen, halogen, cyano, thiocyanato or are in each case optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, alkylamino, alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl having in each case 1 to 3 carbon atoms,
R 8 is hydrogen, halogen, cyano, thiocyanato or is in each case optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, alkylsulfinyl, alkylsulfonyl, alkylamino, alkylcarbonyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkylaminocarbonyl having in each case 1 to 3 carbon atoms,
where in the radicals mentioned above the alkyl and alkylene groups may each contain 1 to 6 carbon atoms, the alkenyl and alkynyl groups may each contain 2 to 6 carbon atoms, the cycloalkyl groups may each contain 3 to 6 carbon atoms and the aryl groups may each contain 6 or 10 carbon atoms.
