or its methyl ester or triethylammonium salt.
6. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the herbicide of formula (I) is
7. A method of protecting wheat and barley from the harmful effects of a 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide comprising the step of contacting the wheat and barley with, or applying to the area under cultivation of wheat and barley a combination of a 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide according to the formula (I):
wherein hal represents F, Cl or Br, and R represents methyl or ethyl, and its agriculturally acceptable salt, ester and amide derivatives, and a safener, or a compatible herbicide capable of safening, selected from the group consisting of AD67, benoxacor, 2-CBSU, daimuron, dichlormid, dicyclonon, fenchlorazole-ethyl, fenclorim, fluxofenim, furilazole, isoxadifenethyl, mefenpyr-diethyl, naphthalic anhydride, oxabetrinil and mixtures thereof wherein the weight ratio of the 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide to the safener or compatible herbicide capable of safening in the combination is from about 2:1 to about 32:1; and wherein the combination exhibits an observed safening effect that is greater than the expected safening effect.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the herbicide of formula (I) is:
or its methyl ester or triethylammonium salt.
9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the herbicide of formula (I) is
10. The method of claim 7 , wherein the wheat and barley is Triticum aestivum or Hordeum vulgare.
11. A composition which is effective in protecting wheat and barley from the harmful effects of a 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide, comprising a combination of a 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide according to the formula (I):
wherein hal represents F, Cl or Br, and R represents methyl or ethyl, and its agriculturally acceptable salt, ester and amide derivatives, and a 2-CBSU safener; wherein the ratio range of the formula (I) to the safener is from about 2:1 to about 32:1, and wherein the combination exhibits an observed safening effect that is greater than the expected safening effect.
12. A method of applying the composition of claim 11 for protecting wheat and barley which comprises contacting the wheat and barley with, or applying to the area under cultivation of wheat and barley, the composition.
13. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the weight ratio of the 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide to 2-CBSU is from about 16:1 to about 2:1.
14. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the weight ratio of the 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide to 2-CBSU is from about 4:1 to about 2:1.
15. The composition of claim 11 , wherein the weight ratio of the 6-(trisubstituted phenyl)-4-amino-2-pyridinecarboxylate herbicide to 2-CBSU is from about 1:1 to about 2:1.
