Usage

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
Ethofumesate is used as a herbicide for controlling weeds in sugar beet crops. It helps to protect the crops from weed competition, ensuring better growth and yield.
Used in Forestry:
Ethofumesate is also used as a silvicide to control unwanted vegetation in forestry applications. This helps in maintaining the health and growth of desired tree species.
Regulatory Information:
In the United States, there are maximum allowable residue levels for Ethofumesate and its metabolites, 2-hydroxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranyl methanesulfonate and 2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-2-oxo-5-benzofuranyl methanesulfonate, both calculated as the parent compound. This ensures the safe use of Ethofumesate in agricultural and forestry applications.

USE OF GLYCEROL ETHERS AS ACTIVATORS OF THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF A HERBICIDE, FUNGICIDE OR INSECTICIDE SUBSTANCE

The invention relates to the use of glycerol ethers as agents that activate the biological effects of at least one substance selected from a herbicide, fungicide or insecticide. The invention essentially relates to the use of glycerol ether as an agent that activates the biological effects of at least one substance selected from a herbicide, or fungicide or insecticide, said glycerol ether having formula (1), wherein R1 represents an alkyl group having between 1 and 18 carbon atoms and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having between 1 and 18 carbon atoms, preferably a methyl or ethyl group. The invention also relates to a phytosanitary composition containing one such glycerol ether, as well as to a phytosanitary treatment method using said composition.

Substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt, process for preparing the same, and herbicide containing the same

A substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt represented by the following general formula (I): STR1 wherein A is CH or N; when A is CH, R1 and R2 may be either each independently a member selected from the group consisting of unsubstituted or substituted alkyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted alkenyl groups, unsubstituted or substituted cycloalkyl groups, and unsubstituted or substituted phenyl groups; when A is N, R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, R2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, or an unsubstituted or substituted alkoxy group; and X and Y are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkoxy groups, is disclosed. This compound is useful as the effective ingredient of a herbicide showing a wide weed-control spectrum even if used in a small amount.

2-aryl-4,6-dihalopyrimidines as antidote for protecting cultivated plants from phytotoxic damage caused by herbicides

2-Aryl-4,6-dihalopyrimidines of the formula I STR1 wherein Hal is halogen, E is unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, thienyl or furyl, and Y is a group bound by way of nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, are able as antidote or `safener` to protect cultivated plants against the phytotoxic action of herbicides. Cultivated plants concerned are particularly sorghum, cereals, maize, rice and soya bean, and herbicides concerned are chloroacetanilides or other herbicidally effective substances.

Herbicidally-active heterocyclic compounds

There are provided the compounds of the formula: STR1 (wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group or a halogen atom, R5 represents a quaternized nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl radical linked via a ring carbon atom, X represents one equivalent of an anion, R7 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated heterocyclyl group which, if nitrogen-containing, is quaternized, linked via a ring carbon atom, and R6 either represents an alkyl group or, when R7 represents a quaternized nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl group, and the quaternized nitrogen atom is ortho to the linked ring carbon atom, may represent a methylene, dimethylene, trimethylene or alkyl-substituted ethenylene chain to that nitrogen atom. The compounds are selective herbicides.

Substituted pyrazolopyrimidine compounds

There are provided, as novel herbicides, the substituted pyrazolopyrimidines of the formula: STR1 where A represents -CO-NR6 - or -C(OR7)=N-, and R1, R2, R3, R4, R6 and R7 are substituent groups as defined in the specification, and the salts and acid addition salts thereof. Processes for their preparation are provided, as also are herbicidal compositions containing them and methods of combating weeds in which they are used.
