Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation, such as invasive annual grasses.

The present invention is directed to new uses of the herbicidal active compound 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidone (compound I) as foliar herbicide. Furthermore, the present invention is directed to combinations comprising active compound 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidone (compound I) and to a method for controlling undesired weeds by applying the herbicidal active compound 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidone (compound I) or combinations comprising compound I to weeds or to the area in which the weeds grow after emergence of the crop.

Compositions and methods for cleaning and decontaminating animal carcasses are disclosed. The compositions comprise a mud ball remover having a thioglycolate salt and a base and an antimicrobial agent effective to remove mud balls and reduce microbial contamination of a hide surface at ambient temperatures. The methods comprise cleaning and decontaminating an animal carcass by applying the disclosed compositions onto the surface of the animal carcass to soften and loosen foreign debris attached to the carcass followed by mechanically removing the foreign debris while preserving the integrity and quality of the hide byproduct and resulting leather articles.
