The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I), or an agronomically acceptable salt of said compounds wherein R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are as defined herein. The invention further relates to herbicidal compositions which comprise a compound of Formula (I) and to the use of compounds of Formula (I) for controlling weeds, in particular in crops of useful plants.

The object of the present invention is to find out a component which improves effects of agriculturally active ingredients, which is effective to contribute to reduction of the environmental load even in a small amount, in addition to bringing benefits to the health and/or growth of useful plants, by maximizing the effects of nicosulfuron, reducing phytotoxicity which is an undesired effect on the useful plants, etc.

When nicosulfuron and isoxadifen-ethyl are used in combination, by adding a specific surfactant, benefits can be brought to the health and/or growth of useful plants even if the addition amount is remarkably smaller than the amount of the conventional adjuvant used.

The present invention discloses a triazine benzoate compound having the structure shown in formula (I) or a stereoisomer:

##STR00001##

The definition of each substituent in the formula I is described in the description. The compound of the formula I of the present invention has excellent herbicidal activity and can be used for controlling weeds.

The definition of each substituent in the formula I is described in the description. The compound of the formula I of the present invention has excellent herbicidal activity and can be used for controlling weeds.

Provided herein are pyridine and pyrimidine carboxylates and their derivatives, and compositions and methods of use thereof as herbicides.

Provided herein are pyridine and pyrimidine carboxylates and their derivatives, and compositions and methods of use thereof as herbicides.

Provided is an improved herbicide formulation and an improved method of treating a crop. The herbicide formulation comprises a herbicide and a volatility reduction adjuvant comprising a salt of a volatile acid and a salt of a nonvolatile acid.

The present invention is directed to an aqueous herbicidal composition comprising metribuzin, flumioxazin, pyroxasulfone, and a polyoxyethylene alkyl sulfate. The present invention is further directed to a method of controlling weeds comprising applying a composition of the present invention to the weeds or an area in need of weed control.

Compositions are provided that include ethoxylated lecithin for use as an adjuvant in aqueous composition. Specifically, the compositions may be utilized primarily as drift reduction agents in agricultural compositions, as a soil or foliage penetrant, as a pesticide adjuvant, as a pesticide formulation component, and for other uses. More specifically, the compositions are useful in reducing drift in spray compositions, such as in use in agricultural applications, such as pesticide, herbicide, fungicide and insecticide formulations, in industrial vegetation management (“IVM”) and integrated pest management (“IPM”) applications, in rights-of-way applications, in forestry applications, and other like applications.
