Example A

Pre-emergence test

Solvent 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier '1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration

Seeds of the test plants are sown in normal soil. After about 24 hours, the soil is watered with the preparation of the active ingredient

The amount of water per unit area expediently constant. The concentration of active substance in the preparation is irrelevant; the decisive factor is only the amount of active substance applied per unit area

After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants is rated in% damage compared to the development of the untreated control

Mean it

0% = no effect (like untreated control)

100% = total annihilation

In this test, at an application rate of 30 or 60 g / ha, for example, the compound according to preparation example 3 shows with good compatibility

Cultivated plants, such as maize (0%), wheat (0%) and barley (0%), have a considerably stronger action than the known compound (A) against weeds such as Datura (100%), Ipomoea (100%), Polygonum ( 100%), echinochlea (70%), sorghum (100%) and xanthium (95%) Example B

Post emergence test

Solvent 5 parts by weight of acetone

Emulsifier. 1 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, mix 1

Part by weight of active ingredient with the stated amount of solvent, adds the stated amount of emulsifier and dilutes the concentrate with water to the desired concentration

Test plants which have a height of 5-15 cm are sprayed with the active compound preparation in such a way that the desired amounts of active compound are applied per unit area. The concentration of the spray mixture is chosen so that the respectively desired amounts of active compound are applied in 1000 l of water / ha

Mean it

0% = no effect (like untreated control) 100% = total destruction

In this test, at an application rate of 30 g / ha, for example, the compounds according to Preparation Examples 1 and 3, with good compatibility with crop plants, such as barley (20%), show considerably greater activity than the known compound (A) against Weeds such as amaranthus (100%), chenopodium (100%), stellaria (90%), veronica (95-100%) and viola (90-95%)
