Synergistic herbicidal composition containing penoxsulam, triclopyr and imazethapyr
View Patent ↗An synergistic herbicidal composition containing penoxsulam plus triclopyr and imazethapyr or imazamox for controlling weeds in crops, especially rice, cereal and grain crops, pastures, rangelands, industrial vegetation management (IVM), aquatics and turf. These compositions provide improved post-emergence herbicidal weed control.
1. A synergistic herbicidal mixture comprising herbicidally active ingredients, wherein the herbicidally active ingredients consist of an herbicidally effective amount of (a) penoxsulam plus triclopyr triethylamine and (b) imazaethapyr ammonium or imazamox ammonium, wherein the weight ratio (ai/ai) of penoxsulam to triclopyr triethylamine is 0.25/2.06, and if (b) is imazaethapyr ammonium the weight ratio (ai/ai) of penoxsulam plus triclopyr triethylamine to imazaethapyr ammonium is 327/70 to 373/70; and if (b) is imazamox ammonium, the weight ratio (ai/ai) of penoxsulam plus triclopyr triethylamine to imazamox ammonium is 327/44.
2. A method of controlling foxtail, barnyardgrass, Texasweed, or signalgrass which comprises foliar application of an herbicidally effective amount of the synergistic herbicidal mixture of claim 1 .
3. A method of controlling undesirable vegetation in rice, wheat, barley, oats, rye, sorghum, corn, maize, pastures, grasslands, rangelands, fallowland, turf, IVM and aquatics which comprises contacting the vegetation or the locus thereof with an herbicidally effective amount of the synergistic herbicidal mixture of claim 1 .
4. The synergistic herbicidal mixture of claim 1 , wherein (b) is imazaethapyr ammonium, further comprising an agriculturally acceptable adjuvant and/or carrier.
5. The synergistic herbicidal mixture of claim 1 , wherein (b) is imazamox ammonium, further comprising an agriculturally acceptable adjuvant and/or carrier.
