METHOD AND HERBICIDE COMPOSITION FOR CONTROLLING UNDESIRABLE PLANT GROWTH Russian patent published in 1999 - IPC

FIELD: agriculture. SUBSTANCE: herbicide composition contains effective total amount of active substance: first herbicide such as dimethenamide, second herbicide and additives normally used in the composition. Second herbicide contains another herbicide selected in the group containing growth regulators, growth inhibitors, photosynthesis inhibitors, pigment inhibitors, growth inhibitors, amino acid synthesis inhibitors, lipid biosynthesis inhibitors and triketone taken in an amount producing synergistic effect. Method involves using composition containing mixture of dimethenamide with one or two other herbicides, which manifest increased synergetic effect relative to wide range of undesirable weeds as compared to separately used herbicides. EFFECT: increased efficiency by improved synergetic interaction between herbicides in the mixture and simplified method. 10 cl, 20 tbl, 26 ex
