  • pyroxasulfone is a highly effective pre-emergence herbicide, its activity at low application rates is not always satisfactory. Moreover, pyroxasulfone is known to have only poor post-emergence activity (Y. Yamaji et al., "Application timing and field performance of KIH-485", Conference Abstract I-1-N-12B of 11. IUPAC International Con- gress of Pesticide Chemistry, 2006 Kobe, Japan). Apart from that, its compatibility with certain dicotyledonous crop plants such as cotton, sunflower, soybean, brassica crops such as canola and oilseed rape and some graminaceous plants such as rice, wheat, rye and barley is not always satisfactory, i.e. in addition to the harmful plants, the crop plants are also damaged to an extent which is not acceptable. Though it is in principle possible to spare crop plants by lowering the application rates, the extent of the control of harmful plants is naturally also reduced.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne des compositions herbicides actives comprenant 3-[5-(difluorométhoxy)-1-méthyl-3-(trifluorométhyl)pyrazol-4-ylméthylsulfonyl]-4,5-dihydro-5,5-diméthyl-1,2-oxazole [pyroxasulfone de son nom commun], et au moins un herbicide B sélectionné dans le groupe constitué par isoxaflutole, mésotrione et sulcotrione. L’invention concerne également l'utilisation d'une composition telle que définie ici, destinée à lutter contre la végétation indésirable, notamment dans les cultures. Pendant l'utilisation des compositions de l'invention à cette fin, l'herbicide A et le(s) herbicide(s) B peuvent être appliqués simultanément ou l'un après l'autre, là où une végétation indésirable est susceptible d'apparaître. L'invention concerne en outre un procédé de lutte contre la végétation indésirable, qui consiste à appliquer une composition herbicide de l'invention sur les plantes indésirables. Cette application peut s'effectuer avant, pendant et/ou après, de préférence pendant et/ou après l'apparition des plantes indésirables. L'herbicide A et le(s) herbicide(s) B peuvent être appliqués simultanément ou l'un après l'autre.
