Other herbicidal components were applied on an active ingrédient basis and included microtubule inhibiting (ΜΤΊ) herbicides pendimethalin applied as Prowl® 3.3EC, dithiopyr applied as Dithiopyr WP, oryzalin applied as Surflan* SC, propyzamide formulated as Kerb® 50WP, thiazopyr (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 15 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 were 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 of the formulated compounds were 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 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 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 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. 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-offofthe 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 antagoniste 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.
The compounds tested, application rates employed, plant species tested, and results are given in Tables 1-10.

Example II, Evaluation of In-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-sterilîzed minerai soil (50.5 percent silt, 25.5 percent cïay, 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 Sim 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 cm 4 days prior to herbicide application. The paddy was created by filling the headspace ofthe 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 h 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 acid or esters of 4-amino-3-chIoro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (compound A) each formulated as an SC 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 n-Butyl Ester
Compound A Benzyl Ester
Other herbicidal components were applied on an active ingrédient basis and included microtubule inhibiting (MTI) herbicides pendimethalin applied as Prowl* 3.3EC, dithiopyr applied as Dithiopyr WG, and oryzalin applied as Surflan* SC.
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 ροζ and an application area of 86.59 cm 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 readiiy, 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. Ifthe test compound did not dissolve readiiy, 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) crop 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 ali 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 antagoniste 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/l 00)
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 11-17.

Example ΠΙ, 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 plantîng mixture, which typicaliy 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 (cm ). 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 7-36 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 employed 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 în 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 mïcrotubule-inhibiting herbicides.
Measured aliquots of benzyl ester of 4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2-fluoro3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (Compound A) were placed in 25 mîlliliter (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 calîbrated 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-offof 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.
Colby’s équation was used to détermine the herbicidal effects expected from the mixtures (Colby, S.R. 1967. Calculation of the synergistic and antagoniste 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/l 00)
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.
The compounds tested, application rates empioyed, plant species tested, and results are given in Table 18.

Example IV, Evaluation of Pre-emergence Soil-Applied Herbicidal Mixtures for Weed Control
Seeds or nutlets of the desired test plant species were planted in a soil matrix prepared by mixing a loam soil (e.g.t 32 percent silt, 23 percent ctay, and 45 percent sand, with a pH of about 6.5 and an organic matter content of about 1.9 percent) and calcareous grit in an 80 to 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).
Treatments consisted ofthe benzyl ester of4-amino-3-chloro-5-fluoro-6-(4-chloro-2fluoro-3-methoxy-phenyl)pyridine-2-carboxylic acid (compound A) 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 Benzyl Ester
Other herbicidal components were applied on an acid équivalent or active ingrédient basis and included the microtubule înhibiting herbicides,dithiopyr formulated as Dithiopyr 40WP, oryzalin formulated as Surflan*, pendîmethalin formulated as Prowl* 3.3EC, propyzamide formulated as Kerb*50WP, and thiazopyr (technical grade materials).
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 concentrate (COC) 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) COC so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25% (v/v) COC.
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., I mL) and diluted to the appropriate final concentrations with the addition of 10 mL of an aqueous mixture of l .5% (v/v) COC so that the final spray solutions contain 1.25% (v/v) COC. 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 were 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 of the formulated compounds were placed individually in 25 mL glass vials and diluted in a volume of 1.5% (v/v) COC or water 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.#., 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) COC so that the final spray solutions contained 1.25% (v/v) COC. 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 soil with an overhead Mandel track sprayer equipped with a 8002E nozzles calibrated to deliver 187 L/ha over an application area of0.503 m2 at a spray height of 18 inches (46 cm) above average pot height. Controi pots were sprayed în the same manner with the solvent blank.
The treated and controi pots were placed in a greenhouse and top watered as needed. When required to ensure good germination and healthy plants, a fongicide treatment and/or other chemical or physical treatment was applied. The pots were maintained 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) w'ere 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. After approximately 4 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 antagoniste 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 10 mixture.
