Examples
Results in Examples I, II, III, IV VI, and VII are greenhouse trial results. Example I. Evaluation of Postemergence Foliar-Applied Herbicidal Mixtures for Weed Control in Direct Seeded Rice
Seeds or nutlets of the desired test plant species were planted in a soil matrix prepared by mixing a loam or sandy loam soil (e.g., 28.6 percent silt, 18.8 percent clay, and 52.6 percent sand, with a pH of about 5.8 and an organic matter content of about 1.8 percent) and calcareous grit in an 80 to 20 ratio. The soil matrix was contained in plastic pots with a volume of 1 quart and a surface area of 83.6 square centimeters (cm2). When required to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fongicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The plants were grown for 8-22 days in a greenhouse with an approximate 14 hr. photoperiod which was maintained at about 29° C during the day and 26° C during the night. Nutrients (Peters Excel® 15-5-15 5-Ca 2-Mg and iron chelate) were applied in the irrigation solution as needed and water was added on a regular basis. Supplémentai lighting was provided with overhead métal halide 1000-Watt lamps as necessary. The plants were empioyed for testing when they reached the first through fourth true leaf stage.
Treatments consisted of the acid or esters of 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound A), each formulated as an SC (suspension concentrate), and various herbicidal components alone and in combination. Forms of compound A were applied on an acid équivalent basis.
Forms of compound A (compound of formula I) tested include:

Compound A Acid
Compound A Benzyl Ester
Other herbicidal components were applied on an acid équivalent (ae) or active ingrédient (ai) basis and included acetyl coA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides (cyclohexanedione and aryloxyphenoxypropionate chemical classes) cyhalofop-butyl formulated as Clincher® SF (285 gr ai/L EC), diclofop-methyl formulated as Hoelon® 3EC, fenoxaprop-pethyl + isoxadifen-ethyl formulated as RiceStar® HT (0.58 lb./gal EC), fenoxaprop-p-ethyl + mefenpyr diethyl formulated as Puma® IEC, metamifop formulated as Metamifop EC, haloxyfop-methyl formulated as Gallant Super®, fluazifop-p-butyl formulated as Fusilade® DX, quizalofop-p-ethyl formulated as Assure® II, profoxydim formulated as Aura® 20EC, clethodim applied as Intensity®, sethoxydim formulated as Poast®,and tralkoxydim formulated as Achieve®.
Treatment requirements were calculated based upon the rates being tested, the concentration of active ingrédient or acid équivalent in the formulation, and a 12 mL application volume at a rate of 187 L/ha.
For treatments comprised of formulated compounds, measured amounts of compounds were placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.25% (v/v) Agri-Dex® crop oil concentrated to obtain 12X stock solutions. If a test compound did not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions were prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 1 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of 10 mL of an aqueous mixture of 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25+/-0.05% (v/v) crop oil concentrate.
For treatments comprised of technical compounds, weighed amounts can be placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and dissolved in a volume of 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO to obtain 12X stock solutions. If a test compound does not dissolve readily, the mixture can be warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions can be prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 1 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of 10 mL of an aqueous mixture of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final spray solutions contain 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate. When technical materials are used, the concentrated stock solutions can be added to the spray solutions so that the final acetone and DMSO concentrations of the application solutions are 16.2% and 0.5%, respectively.
For treatments comprised of formulated and technical compounds, weighed amounts of the technical materials can be placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and dissolved in a volume of 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO to obtain 12X stock solutions, and measured amounts ofthe formulated compounds can be placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate or water to obtain 12X stock solutions. If a test compound does not dissolve readily, the mixture can be warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions can be prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 1 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of an appropriate amount of an aqueous mixture of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final spray solutions contain 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate. As required, additional water and/or 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO can be added to individual application solutions so that the final acetone and DMSO concentrations of the application solutions being compared are 8.1 % and 0.25%, respectively.
All stock solutions and applications solutions were visually inspected for compound compatibility prior to application. Spray solutions were applied to the plant material with an overhead Mandel track sprayer equipped with a 8002E nozzles calibrated to deliver 187 L/ha over an application area of 0.503 m2 at a spray height of 18 to 20 inches (46 to 50 cm) above average plant canopy height. Control plants were sprayed in the same manner with the solvent blank.
The treated plants and control plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and watered by sub-irrigation to prevent wash-off of the test compounds. After approximately 3 weeks, the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the untreated plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury or growth inhibition and 100 corresponds to complété kill.
Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbicidal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. 1967. Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic response of herbicide combinations. Weeds 15:20-22.).
The following équation was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containing two active ingrédients, A and B:
Expected = A + B - (A x B/100)
A = observed efficacy of active ingrédient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingrédient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.

Exampie II. Evaluation ofln-Water Applied Herbicidal Mixtures for Weed Control in Transplanted Paddy Rice
Weed seeds or nutlets of the desired test plant species were planted in puddled soil (mud) prepared by mixing a shredded, non-sterilized minerai soil (50.5 percent silt, 25.5 percent clay, and 24 percent sand, with a pH of about 7.6 and an organic matter content of about 2.9 percent) and water at a 1:1 volumétrie ratio. The prepared mud was dispensed in 365 mL aliquots into
A 16-ounce (oz.) non-perforated plastic pots with a surface area of 86.59 square centimeters (cm ) leaving a headspace of 3 centimeters (cm) in each pot. Mud was allowed to dry ovemight prior to planting or transplanting. Rice seeds were planted in Sun Gro MetroMix® 306 planting mixture, which typically has a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 and an organic matter content of about 30 percent, in plastic plug trays. Seedlings at the second or third leaf stage of growth were transplanted into 860 mL of mud contained in 32-oz. non-perforated plastic pots with a surface area of 86.59 cm2 4 days prior to herbicide application. The paddy was created by filling the headspace of the pots with 2.5 to 3 cm of water. When required to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fungicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The plants were grown for 4-22 days in a greenhouse with an approximate 14 hr. photoperiod which was maintained at about 29 C during the day and 26°C during the night. Nutrients were added as Osmocote® (19:6:12, N:P:K + minor nutrients) at 2 g per 16-oz. pot and 4 g per 32-oz. pot. Water was added on a regular basis to maintain the paddy flood, and supplémentai lighting was provided with overhead métal halide 1000-Watt lamps as necessary. The plants were employed for testing when they reached the first through fourth true leaf stage.
Treatments consisted ofthe acid or esters of4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (compound A) each formulated as an SC (suspension concentrate) and various herbicidal components alone and in combination. Forms of compound A were applied on an acid équivalent basis.
Forms of compound A (compound of formula I) tested include:
Compound A Acid
Compound A Benzyl Ester
Other herbicidal components were appiied on an acid équivalent (ae) or active ingrédient (ai) basis as to normal practice used in the market, and included acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibiting herbicides (cyclohexanedione and aryloxyphenoxypropionate chemical classes) cyhalofop-butyl formulated as Clincher® EC, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl + isoxadifen-ethyl formulated as RiceStar® HT, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl + mefenpyr diethyl formulated as Puma IEC, metamifop formulated as Metamifop EC, haloxyfop-methyl formulated as Gallant Super®, fluazifop-p-butyl formulated as Fusilade® DX, quizalofop-p-ethyl formulated as Assure® II, profoxydim formulated as Aura® 20EC, and sethoxydim formulated as Poast®.
Treatment requirements for each compound or herbicidal component were calculated based upon the rates being tested, the concentration of active ingrédient or acid équivalent in the formulation, an application volume of 2 mL per component per pot, and an application area of 86.59 cm2 per pot.
For formulated compounds, a measured amount was placed in an individual 100 or 200 mL glass vial and was dissolved in a volume of 1.25% (v/v) Agri-Dex® crop oil concentrate to obtain application solutions. If the test compound did not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated.
For technical grade compounds, a weighed amount can be placed in an individual 100 to 200 mL glass vial and dissolved in a volume of acetone to obtain concentrated stock solutions. If the test compound does not dissolve readily, the mixture can be warmed and/or sonicated. The concentrated stock solutions obtained can be diluted with an équivalent volume of an aqueous mixture containing 2.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final application solutions contain 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate.
Applications were made by injecting with a pipetter appropriate amounts of the application solutions, individually and sequentially, into the aqueous layer of the paddy. Control plants were treated in the same manner with the solvent blank. Applications were made so that ail treated plant material received the same concentrations of acetone and crop oil concentrate.
The treated plants and control plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and water was added as needed to maintain a paddy flood. After approximately 3 weeks the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the untreated plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury or growth inhibition and 100 corresponds to complété kill.
Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbicidal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. 1967. Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic response of herbicide combinations. Weeds 15:20-22.).
The following équation was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containîng two active ingrédients, A and B:
Expected = A + B - (A x B/l 00)
A = observed efïicacy of active ingrédient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efïicacy of active ingrédient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
Some of the compounds tested, application rates employed, plant species tested, and results are given in Tables 22-39.

Example III. Evaluation of Postemergence Foliar-Applied Herbicidal Mixtures for Control of Weeds Common to Row Crops such as Com and Soybeans
Seeds or nutlets of the desired test plant species were planted in a soil matrix prepared by mixing a loam or sandy loam soil (e.g., 28.6 percent silt, 18.8 percent clay, and 52.6 percent sand, with a pH of about 5.8 and an organic matter content of about 1.8 percent) and calcareous grit in an 80 to 20 ratio. The soil matrix was contained in plastic pots with a surface area of 84.6 square centimeters (cm2) and a volume of 560 cubic centimeters (cm3). When required to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fungicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The plants were grown for 7-31 days (d) in a greenhouse with an approximate 15 hour (h) photoperiod which was maintained at about 23-29 °C during the day and 22-28 °C during the night. Nutrients (Peters Excel® 15-5-15 5-Ca 2-Mg) and water were added on a regular basis and supplémentai lighting was provided with overhead métal halide 1000-Watt lamps as necessary. The plants were employed for testing when they reached the first, second, or third true leaf stage.
Treatment requirements were calculated based upon the rates being tested, the concentration of active ingrédient or acid équivalent in the formulation, and a 12 mL application volume at a rate of 187 L/ha.
Treatments consisted of the acid or esters of 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound A), each formulated as an SC (suspension concentrate), and various herbicidal components alone and in combination. Forms of compound A were applied on an acid équivalent basis.
Forms of compound A (compound of formula I) tested include:
Compound A Acid nh2
Compound A Benzyl Ester
Other herbicidal components were applied on an acid équivalent basis and included acetyl coA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicide (cyclohexanedione and aryloxyphenoxypropionate chemical classes) quizalofop-p-ethyl formulated as Assure® II.
For treatments comprised of formulated compounds, measured amounts of compounds were placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.5% (v/v) Agri-Dex® crop oil concentrated to obtain 6X stock solutions. If a test compound did not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions were prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (typically 2 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of an appropriate amount of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate and an appropriate amount of water so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25+/-0.05% (v/v) crop oil concentrate.
For treatments comprised of technical compounds, weighed amounts can be placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and dissolved in a volume of 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO to obtain 12X stock solutions. If a test compound does not dissolve readily, the mixture can be warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions can be prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 1 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of an appropriate amount of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate and an appropriate amount of water so that the final spray solutions contain 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate. When technical materials are used, the concentrated stock solutions can be added to the spray solutions so that the final acetone and DMSO concentrations of the application solutions are 16.2% and 0.5%, respectively.
For treatments comprised of formulated and technical compounds, weighed amounts of the technical materials can be placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and dissolved in a volume of 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO to obtain 6X stock solutions, and measured amounts of the formulated compounds can be placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate or water to obtain 6X stock solutions. If a test compound does not dissolve readily, the mixture can be warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions can be prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 2 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of an appropriate amount of an aqueous mixture of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate. When required, additional water and/or 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO can be added to individual application solutions so that the final acetone and DMSO concentrations of the application solutions being compared are 16.2% and 0.5%, respectively.
Ail stock solutions and applications solutions were visually inspected for compound compatibility prior to application. Compound requirements are based upon a 12 mL application volume at a rate of 187 liters per hectare (L/ha). Formulated compounds were applied to the plant material with an overhead Mandel track sprayer equipped with 8002E nozzles calibrated to deliver 187 L/ha over an application area of0.503 square meters (m2) at a spray height of 18 to 20 inches (46 to 50 cm) above the average plant canopy height. Controi plants were sprayed in the same manner with the solvent blank.
The treated plants and controi plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and watered by sub-irrigation to prevent wash-off of the test compounds. After approximately 2 weeks, the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the untreated plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury or growth inhibition and 100 corresponds to complété kill.
Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbicidal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. 1967. Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic response of herbicide combinations. Weeds 15:20-22.).
The following équation was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containing two active ingrédients, A and B:
Expected = A + B - (A x B/100)
A = observed efficacy of active ingrédient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingrédient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
Some of the compounds tested, application rates employed, plant species tested, and results are given in Tables 40-41.

Example IV. Evaluation of Postemergence Herbicidal Activity of Mixtures in Cereal Crops in the Greenhouse.
Seeds of the desired test plant species were planted in Sun Gro MetroMix® 306 planting mixture, which typically has a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 and an organic matter content of about 30 percent, in plastic pots with a surface area of 103.2 square centimeters (cm2). When required to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fongicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The plants were grown for 7-36 days in a greenhouse with an approximate 14 hour photoperiod which was maintained at about 18° C during the day and about 17° C during the night. Nutrients and water were added on a regular basis and supplémentai lighting was provided with overhead métal halide 1000-Watt lamps as necessary. The plants were empioyed for testing when they reached the second or third true leaf stage.
Treatments consisted of the benzyl ester of 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound A), formulated as an SC, a second cereal herbicide alone and then both in combination.
Forms of compound A (compound of formula I) tested include:
Compound A Benzyl Ester
Other herbicidal components were applied on an active ingrédient basis and included acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides clodinafop-propargyl, fenoxaprop-Pethyl, pinoxaden and tralkoxydim.
Measured aliquots of benzyl ester of 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-3methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound A) were placed in 25 milliliter (mL) glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.25% (v/v) Agri-Dex® crop oil concentrate to obtain stock solutions. Compound requirements are based upon a 12 mL application volume at a rate of 187 liters per hectare (L/ha). Spray solutions of the second cereal herbicide and experimental compound mixtures were prepared by adding the stock solutions to the appropriate amount of dilution solution to form 12 mL spray solution with active ingrédients in two- and three-way combinations. Formulated compounds were applied to the plant material with an overhead Mandel track sprayer equipped with an 8002E nozzle calibrated to deliver 187 L/ha over an application area of 0.503 square meters (m2) at a spray height of 18 inches (46 cm) above average plant canopy. Control plants were sprayed in the same manner with the solvent blank.
The treated plants and control plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and watered by sub-irrigation to prevent wash-off of the test compounds. After 20-22 days, the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the control plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury and 100 corresponds to complété kill.

Example V. Evaluation of Post-emergence Herbicidal Activity of Mixtures Applied Under Field Conditions to Seeded Rice
Multiple field trials were conducted under commercial grower field conditions in Tolima, Colombia; Thessaloniki, Greece; Bianze and Copiano, Italy; and Humphrey, Arkansas, USA. Trials sites were located in commercially grown fïelds of direct-seeded rice (Oryza sativa) using standard herbicide small plot research methodology. Plots varied from 2 to 3 meter (m) x 5 to 8 m (width x length) with 4 replicates per treatment. The rice crop was grown using normal cultural practices for fertilization, seeding, watering, flooding and maintenance to ensure good growth of the crop and the weeds.
Ail treatments in the field trials were applied using a backpack compressed air/gas sprayer with fiat fan nozzles (80° or 110°) calibrated to apply 187 to 300 L/ha spray volume at approximately 200-400 kPa nozzle pressure. Commercially available products of cyhalofopbutyl (Clincher 180EC, Clincher 200EC, and Clincher SF (285 gr ai/L EC)) were mixed in water at appropriate formulated product rates to achieve the desired rates based on a unit area of application (hectare) to achieve the desired rates as shown. Treatments were rate at 19 to 58 days after application (DAA) as compared to the untreated control plants. Visual weed control was scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury and 100 corresponds to complété kill.
Ail treatment results, both for the single product and mixtures, are an average of 4 replicates. The trial sites had naturally occurring populations of weeds. The weed spectrum included, but was not limited to, rice flatsedge (Cyperus iria, CYPIR); smallflower umbrellaplant (Cyperus difformis, CYPDI), junglerice (Echinochloa colona, ECHCO), bamyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli, ECHCG); multiple Echinochloa species in the same field (ECHSS), grasslike fimbristylis (Fimbristylis miliacea, FIMMI); ricefield bulrush (Schoenoplectus mucronatus, SCPMU) and hemp Sesbania (Sesbania exaltata, SEBEX). Ail synergistic interactions were significant at the P>0.01 Ievel.

Forms of compound A were applied on an acid équivalent basis.
Forms of compound A (compound of formula I) tested include:
Compound A Benzyl Ester
The ACCase inhibitor component was applied on an active ingrédient basis and included cyhalofop-R-butyl formulated as Clincher® SF, fenoxaprop-p-ethyl formulated as RiceStar® HT, and profoxydim formulated as Aura® 20EC. Other herbicidal components were applied on an active ingrédient or acid équivalent basis depending on the compound and included penoxsulam formulated as Grasp® SC, bentazon sodium formulated as Basagran®, triclopyr trimethylammonium (TEA) sait formulated as Grandstand® R, bispyribac sodium formulated as Régiment® 80WP, imazamox ammonium formulated as Beyond®, benzobicyclon, quinclorac formulated as Facet® 75DF, glyphosate dimethylammonium (DMA) sait formulated as Durango® DMA, glufosinate ammonium formulated as Ignite® 280, fentrazamide formulated as an emsulsifiable concentrate (EC), propyrisulfuron formulated as Zêta One®, and indanofan (technical grade material).
Treatment requirements were calculated based upon the rates being tested, the concentration of active ingrédient or acid équivalent in the formulation, and a 12 mL application volume at a rate of 187 L/ha.
For treatments comprised of formulated compounds, measured amounts of compounds were piaced individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.25% (v/v) Agri-Dex® crop oil concentrate to obtain 12X stock solutions. If a test compound did not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions were prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 1 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of 9 mL of an aqueous mixture of 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate.
For treatments comprised of formulated and technical compounds, weighed amounts of the technical materials were piaced individually in 25 mL glass vials and dissolved in a volume of 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO to obtain 12X stock solutions, and measured amounts of the formulated compounds were piaced individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate to obtain 12X stock solutions. If a test compound does not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated. Application solutions were prepared by adding an appropriate amount of each stock solution (e.g., 1 mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of an appropriate amount of an aqueous mixture of 1.5% (v/v) crop oil concentrate so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate. As required, additional water and/or 97:3 v/v acetone/DMSO was added to individual application solutions so that the final acetone and DMSO concentrations of the application solutions being compared were 8.1% and 0.25%, respectively.
Ail stock solutions and applications solutions were visually inspected for compound compatibility prior to application. Spray solutions were applied to the plant material with an overhead Mandel track sprayer equipped with a 8002E nozzles calibrated to deliver 187 L/ha
100 over an application area of 0.503 m2 at a spray height of 18 inches (46 cm) above average plant canopy height. Control plants were sprayed in the same manner with the solvent blank.
The treated plants and control plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and watered by sub-irrigation to prevent wash-off of the test compounds. After approximately 3 weeks, the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the untreated plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury or growth inhibition and 100 corresponds to complété kill.
Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbicidal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. 1967. Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic response of herbicide combinations. Weeds 15:20-22.).
The following équation was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containing three active ingrédients, A, B, and C:
Expected = A + B + C-((A x B + A x C + B x C)/100) + (A x B x C/10000)
A = observed efficacy of active ingrédient A at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingrédient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
C = observed efficacy of active ingrédient C at the same concentration as used in the mixture.

Example VI. Evaluation of In-Water Applied Temary Herbicidal Mixtures for Weed Controi in Transplanted Paddy Rice
Weed seeds or nutlets of the desired test plant species were planted in puddled soil (mud) prepared by mixing a shredded, non-sterilized minerai soil (50.5 percent silt, 25.5 percent clay, and 24 percent sand, with a pH of about 7.6 and an organic matter content of about 2.9 percent) and water at a 1:1 volumétrie ratio. The prepared mud was dispensed in 365 mL aliquots into 16-ounce (oz.) non-perforated plastic pots with a surface area of 86.59 square centimeters (cm2) leaving a headspace of 3 centimeters (cm) in each pot. Mud was allowed to dry ovemight prior to planting or transplanting. Rice seeds were planted in Sun Gro MetroMix® 306 planting mixture, which typically has a pH of 6.0 to 6.8 and an organic matter content of about 30 percent, in plastic plug trays. Seedlings at the second or third leaf stage of growth were transplanted into 860 mL of mud contained in 32-oz. non-perforated plastic pots with a surface area of 86.59 cm2 4 days prior to herbicide application. The paddy was created by filling the headspace of the pots with 2.5 to 3 cm of water. When required to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fongicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The plants were grown for 4-22 days in a greenhouse with an approximate 14 hr. photoperiod which was maintained at about 29°C during the day and 26°C during the night. Nutrients were added as Osmocote® (19:6:12, N:P:K + minor nutrients) at 2 g per 16-oz. pot and 4 g per 32-oz. pot. Water was added on a regular basis to maintain the paddy flood, and supplémentai lighting was provided with overhead métal halide 1000-Watt lamps as necessary. The plants were employed for testing when they reached the first through fourth true leaf stage.
Treatments consisted of the benzyl ester of 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound A), formulated as an SC (suspension concentrate), an ACCase inhibitor herbicide, and a third herbicidal component, each applied alone and in temary combination. Forms of compound A were applied on an acid équivalent basis.
Forms of compound A (compound of formula I) tested include:
Compound A Benzyl Ester
109
The ACCase inhibitor component was applied on an active ingrédient basis and included cyhalofop-R-butyl formulated as Clincher® G and metamifop formulated as Metamifop EC. Other herbicidal components were applied on an active ingrédient or acid équivalent basis depending on the compound and included penoxsulam formulated as Grasp® SC, bentazon sodium formulated as Basagran®, triclopyr trimethylammonium (TEA) sait formulated as Grandstand® R, benzobicyclon formulated as Benzobicyclon, benfuresate formulated as Full Slot® WG, pyraclonil formulated as Pyraclon® Flowable, mefenacet (technical grade material), and pretilachlor (technical grade material).
Treatment requirements for each compound or herbicidal component were calculated based upon the rates being tested, the concentration of active ingrédient or acid équivalent in the formulation, an application volume of 1 mL per component per pot, and an application area of 86.59 cm2 per pot.
For formulated compounds, a measured amount was placed in an individual 100 or 200 mL glass vial and was dissolved in a volume of 1.25% (v/v) Agri-Dex® crop oil concentrate to obtain application solutions. If the test compound did not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated.
For technical grade compounds, a weighed amount was placed in an individual 100 to 200 mL glass vial and was dissolved in a volume of acetone to obtain concentrated stock solutions. If the test compound did not dissolve readily, the mixture was warmed and/or sonicated. The concentrated stock solutions obtained were diluted with an équivalent volume of an aqueous mixture containing 2.5% (v/v) oil concentrate so that the final application solutions contained 1.25% (v/v) crop oil concentrate.
Applications were made by injecting with a pipetter appropriate amounts of the application solutions, into the aqueous layer of the paddy. Control plants were treated in the same manner with the solvent blank. Applications were made so that ail treated plant material received the same concentrations of acetone and crop oil concentrate.
The treated plants and control plants were placed in a greenhouse as described above and water was added as needed to maintain a paddy flood. After approximately 3 weeks the condition of the test plants as compared with that of the untreated plants was determined visually and scored on a scale of 0 to 100 percent where 0 corresponds to no injury or growth inhibition and 100 corresponds to complété kill.
Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbicidal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. 1967. Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic response of herbicide combinations. Weeds 15:20-22.).
110
The following équation was used to calculate the expected activity of mixtures containing three active ingrédients, A, B, and C:
Expected = A + B + C-((A xB + AxC + Bx C)/100) + (A x B x C/10000) A = observed efficacy of active ingrédient A at the same concentration as used in the 5 mixture.
B = observed efficacy of active ingrédient B at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
C = observed efficacy of active ingrédient C at the same concentration as used in the mixture.
The compounds tested, application rates employed, plant species tested, and results are given in Tables 63-71.
