Described are herbicidal compositions that contain mesotrione and pyridate, as well as related method to control weeds in crops, such as of maize, sweet corn, oilseed rape, cereals, rice, peanuts, vegetables wheat, barley, rye, rice, maize, sugar beet, cotton and soybeans.

Disclosed embodiments of the present invention concern an herbicidal combination, such as a premix concentrate or a tank mix, comprising 1% to 10% of a triketone herbicide, such as a benzoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, and 30% to 50% of a diphenylether herbicide, such as a 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid. Certain embodiments comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of, mesotrione and oxyfluorfen. Particular compositions comprise an aqueous composition comprising oxyfluorfen, mesotrione, a surfactant, a freeze/thaw agent, a defoaming agent, a rheology agent, and an antimicrobial agent. A method for using disclosed combinations comprises applying a combination to a locus where undesired vegetation is present or may be present. Yet another embodiment comprises a method for forming a disclosed combination, such as a premix concentrate or a tank mix, comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of, (1) a triketone herbicide, such as mesotrione, and (2) a diphenylether herbicide, such as oxyfluorfen.
