Selective herbicides based on substituted cyclic ketoenols and safeners
The invention relates to novel selective herbicidal active compound combinations
which comprise substituted cyclic ketoenols, on the one hand, and at least one
compound which improves crop plant compatibility, on the other, and which can be
5 used with particularly good results for the selective control of weeds in various crops of
useful plants.
Unsubstituted bicyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-355 599,
EP-A-415 211 and JP 12-053 670) and substituted monocyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-
10 dione derivatives (EP-A-377 893 and EP-A-442 077) having herbicidal action are
already known.
Also known are polycyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-442 073) and lH-arylpyrrolidinedione derivatives (EP-A-456 063, EP-A-521 334,

Also known are 3-aryl-D3-dihydrofuranone derivatives having herbicidal properties, from EP-A-528 156, EP-A-0 647 637, WO 95/26 345, WO 96/20 196, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05638, WO 98/25928, WO 99/16748, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869,
25 WO 99/55673, JP 12-239 276 and WO 01/17972. 3-Aryl-A3-dihydrothiophenone
derivatives, too, are known (WO 95/26 345, WO 96/25 395, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05638, WO 98/25928, WO 99/16748, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673, WO 01/17972, WO 01/23354).

Phenylpyrone derivatives which are substituted in the phenyl ring and have herbicidal properties are described in EP-A-588 137, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/16 436, WO 97/19 941, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05638, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673 and WO 01/17972.

It is known that certain substituted 2-arylcyclopentanediones have herbicidal properties (cf. for example, US-4 283 348; 4 338 122; 4 436 666; 4 526 723; 4 551547; 4 632 698; WO 96/01798; WO 96/03 366, WO 97/14 667 and also WO 98/39281, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673 and WO 01/17972).
10
Moreover, it is known that certain substituted 2-arylcyclohexanediones have herbicidal and acaricidal properties (US-4 175 135, 4 209 432, 4 256 657, 4 256 658, 4 256 659, 4 257 858, 4 283 348, 4 303 669, 4 351666, 4 409 153, 4 436 666, 4 526 723, 4 613 617, 4 659 372, DE-A 2 813 341, and also Wheeler, T.N., J. Org.
15 Chem. 44, 4906 (1979), WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869, WO 99/55673 and
WO 01/17972).
However, the activity of these compounds and/or their compatibility with crop plants are not under all conditions entirely satisfactory.
20
Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain substituted cyclic ketoenols, when used together with the compounds (safeners/antidotes) described below which improve crop plant compatibilty, prevent damage to the crop plants extremely well and can be used particularly advantageously as broad-spectrum combination preparations for the
25 selective control of undesirable plants in crops of useful plants, such as, for example, in
cereals, but also in maize, soya beans and rice.
The invention provides selective herbicidal combinations comprising an effective amount of an active compound combination comprising 30
(a) at least one substituted cyclic ketoenol of the formula (I)

Depending inter alia on the nature of the substituents, the compounds of the formula (I) can be present as geometrical and/or optical isomers or isomer mixtures of varying composition which, if appropriate, can be separated in a customary manner. The present invention provides both the pure isomers and the isomer mixtures, and their use and the compositions comprising them. However, for the sake of simplicity, hereinbelow only compounds of the formula (I) are referred to, although what is meant are both the pure compounds and, if appropriate, also mixtures having various proportions of isomeric compounds.

Surprisingly, it has now been found that the above-defined active compound
combinations of substituted cyclic ketoenols of the general formula (I) and safeners
(antidotes) of group (b) listed above, whilst being tolerated very well by crop plants,
5 have particularly high herbicidal activity and can be used in various crops, in
particular in cereal (especially wheat), but also in soya beans, potatoes, maize and rice, for the selective control of weeds.
Here, it has to be considered to be surprising that, from a large number of known
10 safeners or antidotes which are capable of antagonizing the damaging effect of a
herbicide on the crop plants, it is in particular the abovementioned compounds of
group (h) which neutralize the damaging effect of substituted cvclic ketoenols on the

Le A 35 591-Foreign Countries
-75-
crop plants virtually completely without negatively affecting the herbicidal activity with respect to the weeds.
Emphasis is given here to the particularly advantageous effect of the particularly and
5 most preferred combination partners from group (b), in particular in respect of
sparing cereal plants, such as, for example, wheat, barley and rye, but also maize and rice, as crop plants.
The active compound combinations according to the invention can be used, for
10 example, in connection with the following plants:
Dicotyledonous weeds of the genera: Sinapis, Lepidium, Galium, Stellaria,
Matricaria, Anthemis, Galinsoga, Chenopodium, Urtica, Senecio, Amaranthus,
Portulaca, Xanthium, Convolvulus, Ipomoea, Polygonum, Sesbania, Ambrosia,
15 Cirsium, Carduus, Sonchus, Solanum, Rorippa, Rotala, Lindernia, Lamium,
Veronica, Abutilon, Emex, Datura, Viola, Galeopsis, Papaver, Centaurea, Trifolium, Ranunculus, Taraxacum.
Dicotyledonous crops of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus,
20 Pisum, Solanum, Linum, Ipomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis,
Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis, Cuburbita, Helianthus.
Monocotyledonous weeds of the genera: Echinochloa, Setaria, Panicum, Digitaria,
Phleum, Poa, Festuca, Eleusine, Brachiaria, Lolium, Bromus, Avena, Cyperus,
25 Sorghum, Agropyron, Cynodon, Monochoria, Fimbristylis, Sagittaria, Eleocharis,
Scirpus, Paspalum, Ischaemum, Sphenoclea, Dactyloctenium, Agrostis, Alopecurus, Apera.
Monocotyledonous crops of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena,
30 Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus, Allium.

Le A 35 591-Foreign Countries
-76-
However, the use of the active compound combinations according to the invention is in no way restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.
5 According to the invention, it is possible to treat all plants and parts of plants. Here,
plants are to be understood as meaning all plant and plant populations such as desirable and undesirable wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which are obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and recombinant methods or
10 combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the
plant cultivars which can or cannot be protected by breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and below-grounds parts and organs of the plants, such as shoots, leaves, flowers and roots, where leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits and seeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes may
15 be mentioned by way of example. Plant parts also include harvested produce and
vegetative and generative propagation material, for example seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds.
The treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active
20 compounds is carried out directly or by action on their environment, habitat or
storage space by customary treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, evaporating, atomizing, broadcasting, spreading-on and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of the seeds, furthermore by applying one or more coats.
25
The advantageous effect of the crop plant compatibility of the active compound
combinations according to the invention is particularly highly pronounced at certain
concentration ratios. However, the weight ratios of the active compounds in the
active compound combinations can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In
30 general, 0.001 to 1000 parts by weight, preferably 0.01 to 100 parts by weight,
particularly preferably 0.05 to 10 parts by weight and most preferably 0.07 to 1.5

Le A 35 591-Foreign Countries
-77-
parts by weight of one of the compounds which improve crop plant compatibility mentioned under (b) above (antidotes/safeners) are present per part by weight of active compound of the formula (I) or its salts.
5 The active compounds or active compound combinations can be converted into the
customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusting agents, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with active compound, and very fine capsules in polymeric substances.
10
These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersants and/or foam-formers.
15
If the extender used is water, it is also possible to use, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Suitable liquid solvents are essentially: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride,
20 aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum
fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol, and also their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, and also water.
25
Suitable solid carriers are:
for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, ground synthetic minerals, such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates, suitable solid
30 carriers for granules are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as
calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, and also synthetic granules of

Le A 35 591-Foreign Countries
-78-
inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust,
coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and/or foam-
formers are: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene
fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl
5 polyglycol ethers, alkylsulfonates, alkyl sulfates, arylsulfonates and protein
hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are: for example lignosulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the
10 form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and
polyvinyl acetate, and also natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils.
15 It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide,
titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
20 The formulations generally comprise from 0.1 to 95 per cent by weight of active
compounds including the safeners, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.
The active compound combinations according to the invention are generally used in
the form of finished formulations. However, the active compounds contained in the
25 active compound combinations can also be mixed in individual formulations when
used, i.e. in the form of tank mixes.
The novel active compound combinations, as such or in their formulations, can
furthermore be used as a mixture with other known herbicides, finished formulations
30 or tank mixes again being possible. A mixture with other known active compounds,
such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, bird repellents, growth

Le A 35 591-Foreign Countries
-79-
factors, plant nutrients and agents which improve soil structure, is also possible. For
certain intended uses, in particular in the post-emergence method, it may furthermore
be advantageous to include, as further additives in the formulations, mineral or
vegetable oils which are tolerated by plants (for example the commercial preparation
5 "Rako Binol"), or ammonium salts such as, for example, ammonium sulfate or
ammonium thiocyanate.
The novel active compound combinations can be used as such, in the form of their
formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom by further dilution, such as ready-
10 to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. They are
used in the customary manner, for example by washing, spraying, atomizing, dusting or scattering.
The amounts of the active compound combinations according to the invention
15 applied can be varied within a certain range; they depend, inter alia, on the weather
and on soil factors. In general, the application rates are between 0.005 and 5 kg per ha, preferably between 0.01 and 2 kg per ha, particularly preferably between 0.05 and 1.0 kg per ha.
The active compound combinations according to the invention can be applied before
20 and after emergence of the plants, that is to say by the pre-emergence and post-
emergence method.
Use Examples
25 The active compound or safener components are in each case dissolved in a few ml
(generally 2-3 ml) of solvent (generally acetone or N,N-dimethyl-formamide), and the solutions are combined and then - if appropriate after addition of an emulsifier -diluted with water to the desired concentration. In general, an aqueous spray liquor was prepared using 0.1% of the additive Renex-36.

Example A
Post-emergence test
5 The test plants are grown under controlled conditions (temperature, light, atmos-
pheric humidity) in a greenhouse. The test plants are sprayed when they have reached a height of 5-15 cm. The concentration of the spray liquor is chosen such that the particular amounts of active compound desired are applied in 500 1 of water/ha.
10 After spraying, the pots with the test plants are kept in a greenhouse chamber under
controlled conditions (temperature, light, atmospheric humidity) until the test has ended. About three weeks after the application, the degree of damage to the crop plants is rated in % damage in comparison to the development of the untreated control.
15
The figures denote:
0 % = no damage (like untreated control) 100 % = total destruction/damage
