EA044983B1 - HERBICIDAL MIXTURES CONTAINING L-GLUFOSINATE OR ITS SALT AND TRIFLUDIMOXAZINE, HERBICIDAL COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THE SPECIFIED MIXTURES, AND METHOD FOR COMBATING UNDESIRABLE VEGETATION (OPTIONS) - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a herbicidal mixture which contains a) L-glufosinate or a salt thereof as compound I; and b) trifludimoxazine as compound II; where L-glufosinate contains more than 70 wt.% L-enantiomer; and wherein the weight ratio of compound I to compound II is from 1000:1 to 1:5. In addition, the invention relates to herbicidal compositions containing these mixtures, and to a method for controlling unwanted vegetation in burning programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, in vegetable and perennial crops and on lawns and lawns.

Burning out, i.e. Complete elimination of weeds from the soil by applying herbicides before planting or crop emergence is an important tool in modern weed control. Weeds present at planting typically grow much faster than crops and therefore begin to compete very early in the growing season, harming crops and reducing crop yields. It is therefore advisable to plant the crop in a weed-free seedbed or to ensure that essentially no weeds are present at the time the crop emerges. Burning can also involve weed control in fallow lands.

In industrial weed management and forestry, it is desirable to control a wide range of weeds over an extended period of time. Control of larger weeds or taller species such as bushes or trees may also be desirable. Industrial weed management includes, for example, management of railroads and rights-of-way, fence lines, and uncultivated lands such as industrial and construction sites, gravel sites, roads, or sidewalks. Forestry involves, for example, clearing existing forest or brush land, removing regrowth from mechanical logging, or controlling weeds in plantation forests. In the latter case, it may be desirable to protect the desired trees from contact with the spray solution that contains the herbicidal mixture in accordance with the present invention.

Vegetable crops include, for example, eggplant, beans, bell peppers, cabbage, chili peppers, cucumber, blueberries, lettuce, melon, onion, potato, sweet potato, spinach and tomato. To control weeds in vegetable crops, it may be desirable to protect the crops from contact with a spray solution that contains the herbicidal mixture in accordance with the present invention.

Perennial crops include trees, nuts and vines such as, for example, almond, apple, apricot, avocado, cashew, cherry, fir trees, durian, orange, pitahaya, grapes, guava, longan, mango, olive, papaya, peach , pear and other pome fruits, pistachio, plum, pomegranate, pomelo and quince and citrus crops including, for example, clementine, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mandarin and nectarine, and nut crops including, for example, hazelnut, macadamia and walnut nut; and plantation crops such as, for example, banana, cocoa, coconut, coffee, oil palm, pepper and other spices, plantain, rubber, sugarcane and tea. Also included are ornamental plants such as azaleas, rhododendrons, roses and nurseries. To control weeds in perennial crops, it may be desirable to protect the crops from contact with a spray solution that contains the herbicidal mixture of the present invention.

The compositions in accordance with the invention can also be used to control weeds in lawns and lawns, provided that the desired grass species are tolerant of the herbicide mixture. In particular, such mixtures can be used in a desired grass that has been rendered tolerant to glufosinate by mutagenesis or genetic engineering.

Glufosinate and its salts are non-selective systemic herbicides with good post-emergence activity against numerous weeds and thus can be used in burndown programs, industrial plant management and forestry, vegetable and perennial crops and lawns. However, single applications of glufosinate often result in unsatisfactory weed control and multiple applications and/or high doses are often required. Moreover, the effectiveness of glufosinate against some weeds is not entirely sufficient.

Therefore, it is often recommended to use glufosinate in combination with at least one additional herbicide. However, the effectiveness of such combinations is often unsatisfactory and high application rates are still required to achieve acceptable levels of weed control. Moreover, the reliability and persistence of these combinations is highly dependent on weather conditions, and certain hard-to-control weed species may escape them. In addition, the herbicidal activity of these mixtures lasts only for a short time, which makes effective burning possible only for a short period of time before planting the crop.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a herbicidal mixture that allows effective and reliable control of grassy and broadleaf weeds in burning programs, industrial plant management and forestry, vegetable and

- 1 044983 perennial crops, and on lawns and lawns. Moreover, the herbicidal activity of the mixture must persist long enough to achieve weed control over a sufficiently long period, thereby allowing more flexible application. The mixture must also be of low toxicity to humans or other mammals. The mixtures should also have an accelerated effect on harmful plants, i.e. they should damage harmful plants more quickly compared to the use of individual herbicides.

Glufosinate is a racemate of two enantiomers, of which only one exhibits sufficient herbicidal activity (see, for example, US 4265654 and JP92448/83). Although various methods for preparing L-glufosinate (and corresponding salts) are known, mixtures known in the art do not indicate stereochemistry, which means the presence of a racemate (for example, WO 2003024221, WO 2011104213, WO 2016113334, WO 2009141367).

Surprisingly, mixtures of L-glufosinate or its salt and trifludimoxazine, a protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase inhibitor, have been found to be more active in burning programs, industrial plant management and forestry, vegetable and perennial crops, and lawns, according to compared to L-glufosinate taken alone.

Surprisingly, mixtures of L-glufosinate or its salt and trifludimoxazine have been found to exhibit higher activity in burndown programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, vegetable and perennial crops, and lawns, compared to mixtures of racemic glufosinate and trifludimoxazine.

Thus, the present invention relates to herbicide mixtures containing:

a) L-glufosinate or its salt as compound I and

b) trifludimoxazine as compound II;

where L-glufosinate contains more than 70 wt.% L-enantiomer and where the weight ratio of compound I to compound II is from 1000:1 to 1:5.

Glufosinate [common name DL-4-[hydroxyl(methyl)phosphinoyl]-DL-homoalaninate] and its salts such as glufosinate ammonium and its herbicidal activity have been described, for example, in F. Schwerdtle et al., Z. Pflanzenkr . Pflanzenschutz, 1981, Sonderheft IX, pp. 431-440. Glufosinate racemate and its salts are commercially available, for example, from Bayer CropScience under the trade names Basta™ and Liberty™.

The L-glufosinate used in the present invention contains more than 70% by weight of the L-enantiomer; preferably more than 80 wt.% L-enantiomer; more preferably more than 90% L-enantiomer, most preferably more than 95% L-enantiomer, and can be prepared as above. LGlufosinate can be prepared according to methods known in the art, for example as described in WO 2006/104120, US 5530142, EP 0127429 and J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. 1, 1992, 1525-1529.

L-Glufosinate, also called glufosinate-P, is (2S)-2-amino-4[hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl]butyric acid (CAS Reg. No. 35597-44-5). Related salts of L-glufosinate are L-glufosinate-ammonium (also called glufosinate-P-ammonium), which is the ammonium salt of (2S)-2-amino-4-(methylphosphinato)butyric acid (CAS Reg. No. 73777-50-1 ); L-glufosinate sodium (also called glufosinate-P-sodium), which is the sodium salt of (2S)-2-amino-4-(methylphosphinato)butyric acid (CAS Reg. No. 70033-13-5) and L-glufosinate -potassium (also called glufosinate-G-potassium), which is the potassium salt of (2S)-2-amino-4-(methylphosphinato)butyric acid.

Compound II, as well as their pesticidal action and methods for its preparation are well known, for example, in the Pesticide Manual V5.2 (ISBN 9781901396850) (2008-2011) among other sources.

In the mixtures according to the invention, the weight ratio of compound I to compound II is from 1000:1 to 1:5.

Further preferred are mixtures which contain L-glufosinate ammonium or L-glufosinate sodium as L-glufosinate salts or L-glufosinate as the free acid. Particularly preferred are mixtures which contain L-glufosinate ammonium in the form of L-glufosinate salt.

In one embodiment, the invention relates to herbicide mixtures:

1) L-glufosinate or its salt as compound I, preferably L-glufosinate ammonium, L-glufosinate sodium or L-glufosinate free acid and trifludimoxazine. Thus, preferred mixtures of the present invention are mixtures of L-glufosinate-ammonium or L-glufosinate-sodium as L-glufosinate salts, or L-glufosinate free acid and trifludimoxazine.

All preferred mixtures are listed in table. 2, where the following abbreviations are used in table. 1.

This invention also relates to a herbicidal composition that contains a herbicidal active mixture as defined herein and at least one carrier substance, including liquid and/or solid carrier substances.

Various types of oils, wetting agents, adjuvants, fertilizers or micronutrients, and additional pesticides (for example, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, growth regulators, safeners) can be added to the active substances or mixtures in accordance with the invention containing them, in the form of a premix , or, if necessary, only immediately before use (tank mixture). Such agents can be mixed into the mixtures according to the invention in a mass ratio of from 1:100 to 100:1, preferably from 1:10 to 10:1.

The mixture according to the invention is typically applied by the user from a pre-metering device, a backpack sprayer, a spray tank, a spray plane or an irrigation system. Typically, the agrochemical mixture is diluted with water, buffer and/or other excipients to the desired application concentration, thereby obtaining a ready-to-use spray liquid or agrochemical mixture according to the invention. Typically, 20 to 2000 liters, preferably 50 to 400 liters, of ready-to-use spray liquid are used per hectare of agricultural land.

As stated above, the invention also relates to the use of the mixture specified herein for the control of unwanted vegetation in burning programs, industrial vegetation management and forestry, in vegetable and perennial crops and on lawns and lawns, where the mixtures in accordance with The invention can be applied before or after emergence, i.e. before, during and/or after the appearance of unwanted plants. Preferred application is as a post-emergence treatment, i.e. during and/or after the appearance of unwanted plants. In this case, the mixtures in accordance with the invention are applied to the area where crops will be planted, before planting or emergence of the crop.

Therefore, the present invention also relates to a method of burning off unwanted vegetation in crops, which includes applying a mixture in accordance with the invention to the area where the crops will be planted, before planting (or sowing) or emergence of the crop. In this case, the mixture according to the invention is applied to the unwanted vegetation or the area where it is located.

Thus, the present invention relates to a method for controlling unwanted vegetation, which includes applying a mixture in accordance with the invention to an area where unwanted vegetation is present or expected, where the application can be carried out before, during and/or after, preferably during and/or after the appearance of unwanted vegetation.

The present invention also relates to a method for controlling unwanted vegetation, which includes applying L-glufosinate or its salt as compound I and trifludimoxazine as compound II, simultaneously, that is, together or separately for a certain period

- 6 044983 time that allows for the simultaneous action of active ingredients I and II, or sequentially, on an area where unwanted vegetation is present or expected, in which L-glufosinate contains more than 70% by weight of the L-enantiomer; and wherein the weight ratio of compound I to compound II is from 1000:1 to 1:5

In this document, the terms struggle and suppression are synonymous.

As used herein, the terms nuisance vegetation, nuisance species, nuisance plants, noxious plants, nuisance weeds, or noxious weeds are synonymous.

The term site as used herein means an area where a plant or plants grow or will grow, typically a field.

In such burning programs, the mixtures according to the invention can be applied before sowing (planting) or after sowing (planting) crops, but before emergence of crops, in particular before sowing. The mixtures according to the invention are preferably applied before sowing the crop plants. For burn-off purposes, mixtures according to the invention are typically applied no more than 9 months, often no more than 6 months, preferably no more than 4 months before planting the crop. The burning application can be carried out no more than 1 day before the emergence of the crop plant and is preferably carried out before sowing/planting the crop plant, preferably at least one day before, preferably at least 2 days before and in particular at least 4 days before before planting or 6 months to 1 day before planting, in particular 4 months to 2 days before emergence, and more preferably 4 months to 4 days before emergence. Of course, it is possible to repeat the burning application one time or more, for example one, two, three times, four times or five times in this time period.

A particular advantage of the mixtures according to the invention is that they have very good post-emergence herbicidal activity, ie they exhibit good herbicidal activity against emerging unwanted plants. Thus, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mixtures according to the invention are applied post-emergence, that is, during and/or after the emergence of unwanted plants. It is particularly useful to apply mixtures according to the invention after emergence, when the unwanted plant begins to develop leaves, and before flowering. The mixtures according to the invention are particularly useful for controlling unwanted vegetation that has already developed to the point where it is difficult to control with standard burning combinations, i.e. when the individual weed is taller than 10 cm (4 in), or even taller than 15 cm (6 inches), and/or for heavy weed populations.

In the case of post-emergence treatment of plants, the mixtures according to the invention are preferably applied to the leaves.

If active compounds I and II are less well tolerated by certain crops, application techniques can be used in which the herbicidal compositions are sprayed using a spray device so that they come into contact as little as possible, if at all, with the leaves of sensitive crops, but not at the same time, the active compounds reached the leaves of unwanted plants growing below, or the exposed soil surface (post-directed, lay-by techniques). In addition, splash deflectors can be used.

The application can be carried out, for example, using standard spraying techniques, using water as a carrier and a quantity of the spray mixture generally ranging from 10 to 2000 l/ha, in particular from 50 to 1000 l/ha.

The required application rates for a mixture of pure active compounds depend on the density of unwanted vegetation, the stage of plant development, the climatic conditions of the location where the mixture is used, and the method of application. Typically, application rates of the mixture are from 55 to 6000 g/ha, preferably from 100 to 5000 g/ha, from 200 to 4000 g/ha and more preferably from 300 to 3000 g/ha of active ingredient (AI).

When using mixtures in accordance with the invention in the methods of the present invention, the active compounds present in the mixtures in accordance with the invention can be applied simultaneously or sequentially where unwanted vegetation may be present. It does not matter whether the individual compounds present in the mixtures according to the invention are included together or separately, and whether they are used together or separately, and, in the case of separate use, in what order the application occurs. It is only necessary that the individual compounds present in the mixtures according to the invention be applied over a certain period of time, which allows for the simultaneous action of the active ingredients on the undesired plants.

As stated above, the mixtures according to the invention have several advantages, i.e., enhanced herbicidal activity compared to mixtures of racemic glufosinate with trifludimoxazine.

In addition, the mixtures in accordance with the invention demonstrate persistent herbicidal activity even in difficult weather conditions, which allows for more convenient application when using burn-off treatments and minimizes the risk of weed escape. In addition, the mixtures according to the invention show excellent compatibility with some conventional crops and with herbicide-resistant crops, i.e. their application to these crops results in reduced damage to crop plants and/or does not lead to increased damage to crop plants. Thus, the mixtures according to the invention can also be used after the emergence of crop plants. The mixtures according to the invention may also exhibit an accelerated effect on harmful plants, that is, they can cause damage to harmful plants more quickly compared to mixtures of racemic glufosinate with trifludimoxazine.

The mixtures according to the invention are suitable for suppressing or controlling common pests in fields where beneficial plants will be planted (ie, crops). The mixtures according to the invention are generally suitable for burning off unwanted vegetation in fields of the following crops:

Cereal crops, including, for example, cereals (small grain crops) such as wheat (Triticum aestivum) and wheat-like crops such as durum (T. durum), einkorn (T. monococcum), einkorn (T. dicoccon) and spelled (T spelta), rye (Secale cereale), triticale (Triticosecale), barley (Hordeum vulgare); maize (corn; Zea mays); sorghum (eg Sorghum bicolour); rice (Oryza spp., such as Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima) and sugarcane; legumes (Fabaceae), including, for example, soybean (Glycine max.), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea and legumes such as peas, including Pisum sativum, pigeon peas and cowpeas, beans, including common bean (Vicia faba), Vigna spp ., as well as Phaseolus spp. and lentils (lens culinaris var.); Brassicaceae crops, including, for example, canola (Brassica napus), oilseed rape (MP, Brassica napus), cabbage (B. oleracea var.), mustard , such as B. juncea, B. campestris, B. narinosa, B. nigra and B. tournefortii; as well as turnips (Brassica rapa var.); other broadleaf crops, including, for example, sunflower, cotton, flax, linseed, sugar beets, potatoes and tomatoes; DOL crops (DOL: trees, nuts and vines), including, for example, grapes, citrus fruits, pome fruits, e.g. apples and pears, coffee, pistachios and oil palms, stone fruits, e.g. peach, almond, walnut, olive, cherry, plum and apricot; turf, pastures and natural pastures; onions and garlic; bulbous ornamental plants such as tulips and daffodils; coniferous and deciduous trees such as pine, fir, oak, maple, dogwood, hawthorn, wild apple and buckthorn; as well as garden ornamental plants such as roses, petunias, marigolds and snapdragons.

The mixtures according to the invention are particularly suitable for burning off unwanted vegetation in fields of the following crops: small grain crops such as wheat, barley, rye, triticale and durum, rice, maize (corn), sugar cane, sorghum, soybeans, leguminous crops

- 12 044983 tours such as peas, beans and lentils, peanuts, sunflowers, sugar beets, potatoes, cotton, brassicas such as oilseed rape, canola, mustard, cabbage and turnips, turf, pasture plants, pasture plants, grapes, pome fruits, e.g. apples and pears, stone fruits, e.g. peach, almonds, walnuts, pecans, olives, cherries, plums and apricots, citrus fruits, coffee, pistachios, garden ornamental plants such as roses, petunias, marigolds and snapdragons, bulbous ornamental plants such as tulips and daffodils, coniferous and deciduous trees such as pine, fir, oak, maple, dogwood, hawthorn, wild apple and zoster.

The mixtures in accordance with the invention are most suitable for burning off unwanted vegetation in the fields of the following crops: small grain crops such as wheat, barley, rye, triticale and durum, rice, maize, sugar cane, soybeans, legumes such as peas, beans and lentils, peanuts, sunflowers, cotton, brassicas such as oilseed rape, canola, turf, pasture plants, pasture plants, grapes, stone fruits such as peach, almonds, walnuts, pecans, olive, cherry, plum and apricot, citrus and pistachio.

The invention further relates to the use of a mixture as defined herein for the control of unwanted vegetation in crops in a burndown program where the crops are genetically engineered or bred to be resistant to one or more herbicides and/or pathogens , such as phytopathogenic fungi, and/or insect attacks; preferably resistant to glufosinate.

Thus, in the context of the present invention, the term crops as used herein also includes (crop) plants that have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering techniques to provide the plant with a new trait or to modify a trait already present.

Mutagenesis includes random mutagenesis techniques using X-rays or mutagenic chemicals, as well as site-directed mutagenesis techniques to create mutations in a specific region of the plant genome. Site-directed mutagenesis techniques often use oligonucleotides or proteins such as CRISPR/Cas, zinc finger nucleases, TALEN nucleases or meganucleases to achieve targeting.

Genetic engineering typically uses recombinant DNA techniques to create modifications in the plant genome that would not normally be readily produced by crossbreeding, mutagenesis, or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes are inserted into the genome of a plant for the purpose of adding or improving a trait. These inserted genes are also called transgenes in the art, while plants containing such transgenes are called transgenic plants. The process of plant transformation usually results in several transformation events that differ in the genomic region in which the transgene is inserted. Plants containing a specific transgene at a specific genomic region are usually described as containing a specific event, which is referred to by a specific event name. Traits that have been introduced into plants or have been modified include, but are not limited to, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, increased yield, and tolerance to abiotic conditions such as drought.

Herbicide tolerance has been created using mutagenesis as well as genetic engineering. Plants that have been rendered tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides by conventional mutagenesis and breeding techniques include plant varieties commercially available under the name Clearfield®. However, most herbicide tolerance traits have been created through the use of transgenes.

Tolerance has been created to herbicides such as glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, oxynyl herbicides such as bromoxynil and ioxynil, sulfonylurea herbicides, ALS inhibitor herbicides and 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors such as isoxaflutole and mesotrione .

Transgenes that have been used to provide herbicide tolerance traits include for glyphosate tolerance: cp4 epsps, epsps grg23ace5, mepsps, 2mepsps, gat4601, gat4621 and goxv247, for glufosinate tolerance: pat and bar, for 2,4-D tolerance : aad-1 and aad-12, for tolerance to dicamba: dmo, for tolerance to oxynyl herbicides: bxn, for tolerance to sulfonylurea herbicides: zm-hra, csr1-2, gm-hra, S4-HrA, for tolerance to ALS inhibitor herbicides: csr1-2, for tolerance to HPPD inhibitor herbicides: hppdPF, W336 and avhppd-03.

Maize transgenic events that include herbicide tolerance genes are, without excluding other events, e.g. DAS40278, MON801, MON802, MON809, MON810, MON832, MON87411, MON87419, MON87427, MON88017, MON89034, NK603, GA21, MZHG0JG,HCEM485, VCO-01981-5, 676, 678, 680, 33121, 4114, 59122, 98140, Bt10, Bt176, CBH-351, DBT418, DLL25, MS3, MS6, MZIR098, T25, TC1507 and TC6275.

Cotton transgenic events that include herbicide tolerance genes are, without excluding other events, e.g. ,MON1445, MON1698, MON88701, MON88913, GHB119, GHB614, LLCotton25, T303-3 and T304-40.

Transgenic events in canola that include herbicide tolerance genes include, without excluding others, MON88302, HCR-1, hCn10, HCN28, HCN92, MS1, MS8, PHY14, PHY23, PHY35, PHY36, RF1, RF2 and RF3.

Insect resistance has largely been created by transferring bacterial genes for insecticidal proteins to plants. The most commonly used transgenes are Bacillus spec toxin genes and their synthetic variants, such as cry1A, cry1Ab, cry1Ab-Ac, cry1Ac, cry1A.105, cry1F, cry1Fa2, cry2Ab2, cry2Ae, mcry3A, ecry3.1Ab, cry3Bb1, cry34Ab1, cry35Ab1 , cry9C, vip3A(a), vip3Aa20. However, plant-derived genes have also been transferred to other plants. In particular, genes encoding protease inhibitors such as CpTI and pinII were transferred. Another approach uses transgenes to produce double-stranded RNA in plants to target and down-regulate insect genes. An example of such a transgene is dvsnf7.

Maize transgenic events that contain insecticidal protein genes or double-stranded RNA are, without excluding other events, e.g. Bt10, Bt11, Bt176, MON801, MON802, MON809, MON810, MON863, MON87411, MON88017, MON89034, 33121, 4114, 5307, 59122, TS1507, TS6275, SVN-351, MIR162, DBT418 and MZIR098.

Transgenic soybean events that contain genes for insecticidal proteins include, without excluding others, MON87701, MON87751 and DAS-81419.

Cotton transgenic events that contain genes for insecticidal proteins are, without excluding other events, for example, SGK321, MON531, MON757, MON1076, MON15985, 31707, 31803, 31807, 31808, 42317, BNLA-601, Event1, SOT67B, SOT102 , T303 -3, T304-40, GFM Cry1A, GK12, MLS 9124, 281-24-236, 3006-210-23, GHB119 and SGK321.

Increased yield was achieved by increasing grain biomass using the athb17 transgene, which is present in the maize event MON87403, or by increasing photosynthesis using the bbx32 transgene, which is present in the soybean event MON87712.

Crop crops containing modified oil content have been developed using transgenes: gm-fad2-1, Pj.D6D, Nc.Fad3, fad2-1A and fatb1-A. Soybean events containing at least one of these genes are: 260-05, MON87705 and MON87769.

Tolerance to abiotic conditions, particularly drought tolerance, was generated using the cspB transgene, which is included in the maize event MON87460, and using the Hahb-4 transgene, which is included in the soybean event IND-''''''41'''-5.

Traits are often combined by combining genes in a transformation event or by combining different events in the process of breeding. Preferred combinations of traits include tolerance to herbicides from various groups, tolerance to various groups of insects, in particular tolerance to lepidoptera and coleoptera insects, tolerance to herbicides with one or more types of insect resistance, tolerance to herbicides with increased yield, and a combination of tolerance to herbicides and tolerance to abiotic conditions.

Plants containing singular or stacked traits, as well as the genes and events that provide such traits, are well known in the art. For example, detailed information regarding mutagenized or inserted genes and related events is available on the websites of the International Service for Information on Agricultural Applications (ISAAA) (http://www.isaaa.org/gmapprovaldatabase) and the Center for Risk Assessment for the Environment (CERA) (http://cera-gmc.org/GMCropDatabase), as well as in patent applications such as EP 3028573 and WO 2017/011288.

Application of mixtures according to the invention to crops may result in effects that are specific to the crop containing a particular gene or event. These effects may include changes in growth characteristics or altered resistance to biotic or abiotic stressors. Such effects may include, but are not limited to, increased yield, increased resistance or tolerance to insect, nematode, fungal, bacterial, mycoplasma, viral or viroid pathogens, as well as early plant development, early or delayed maturation, tolerance to low or high temperatures, and also an altered spectrum or content of amino acids or fatty acids.

In addition, the invention also covers plants which contain, using recombinant DNA techniques, modified amounts of ingredients or new ingredients, in particular to improve the production of raw materials, for example potatoes, which produce increased amounts of amylopectin (for example, Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany ).

The mixtures according to the invention can be applied in the usual manner using techniques familiar to one skilled in the art. Suitable techniques include sprinkling, misting, dusting, scattering, or watering. The type of application depends on the intended purpose of the known method; in any case it should ensure the maximum possible distribution of the active ingredients according to the invention.

In one embodiment, the mixtures according to the invention are applied to the site, mainly by spraying, in particular by spraying aqueous solutions of the active ingredients of the mixture onto the leaves. Application can be carried out by conventional spray methods using, for example, water as a carrier and a spray solution in the ranges of from about 10 to 2000 l/ha or from 50 to 1000 l/ha (for example, from 100 to 500 l/ha). It is possible to apply the mixtures according to the invention using a low-volume and ultra-low-volume method, as well as their use in the form of microgranules.

The required rate of application of a mixture of pure active compounds depends on the density of unwanted vegetation, on the stage of plant development, on the climatic conditions of the place where the mixture is used, and on the method of application.

Typically, the application rate of L-glufosinate is usually from 50 to 3000 g/ha and preferably in the range from 100 to 2000 g/ha or from 200 to 1500 g/ha active ingredient (AI), and the application rate of trifludimoxazine is from 1 to 2000 g/ha and preferably in the range from 5 to 1500 g/ha, more preferably from 25 to 900 g/ha of active ingredient (AI).

Biological examples

Synergism can be described as an interaction in which the combined effect of two or more compounds is greater than the sum of the individual actions of each compound. The presence of a synergistic effect, expressed as a percentage of control efficiency, between two mixing components (X and Y) can be calculated using Colby's equation (Colby, SR, 1967, Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses in Herbicide Combinations, Weeds, 15, 21- 22):

100

When the observed joint effect against pests is greater than the expected (calculated) control joint effect (E), then the joint effect is synergistic.

The following tests demonstrate the control effectiveness of the compounds, mixtures or compositions of the present invention on specific weeds. However, weed control provided by compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to these types. Analysis of synergism or antagonism between components of mixtures or compositions was determined using the Colby equation.

Test method

The culture containers used were plastic flower pots containing loamy sand with approximately 3.0% humus as substrate. Seeds of the tested plants were sown separately for each species and/or resistant biotype. For pre-emergence treatments, active ingredients that were suspended or emulsified in water were applied directly after sowing using fine nozzles. The containers were gently watered to promote germination and growth and then covered with clear plastic lids until the plants were established. This coating caused uniform germination of the tested plants unless it was disturbed by the active ingredients. For post-emergence treatments, test plants were first grown to a height of 3 to 15 cm, depending on plant behavior, and only then treated with active ingredients that were suspended or emulsified in water. To do this, test plants were either directly sown and grown in the same containers, or were first grown separately as seedlings and transplanted into test containers a few days before treatment. Depending on the species, plants were maintained at a temperature of 10-25°C or 20-35°C, respectively. The test period lasted up to 20 days after treatment. During this time, the plants were cared for and their response to individual treatments was assessed. The scoring was carried out using a scale from 0 to 100. 100 means no plant emergence or complete destruction of at least above-ground parts, and 0 means no damage or normal growth. Data shown are the average of two replicates.
