Abstract:
Synergistic herbicidal activity is displayed by compositions comprising the following two components: (a) a pyrrolidone of the formula in which: X is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine, and methyl; Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, chlorine and bromine; Z is selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine; R' is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and Ci-C4 alkyl; R 2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, acetyl, trifluoromethyl, nitro, cyano, C 1 -C 4 alkoxy, C 1 -C 4 alkylthio, C 1 -C 4 alkylsulfinyl, C 1 -C 4 alkylsulfonyl, trifluoromethylsulfinyl, trifluoromethylsulfonyl, penta- fluoropropionamido, and 3-methylureido; and R 3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C 1 -C 4 alkyl, chlorine and trifluoromethyl; and (b) a phosphonic acid of the formula in which: R 4 is selected from the group consisting of C 1 -C 4 alkyl, C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, and -CH 2 NHCH 2 COOH, at a weight ratio of (a) to (b) of from about 0.1:1 to about 20:1.
