If appropriate, the compounds according to the invention can, at certain
concentrations or application rates, also be used as herbicides or microbicides, for
15 example as fungicides, antimycotics and bactericides. If appropriate, they can also be
employed as intermediates or precursors for the synthesis of other active compounds.
All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are to be understood as meaning in the present context all plants and plant populations
20 such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally
occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and recombinant methods or by combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and inclusive of the plant cultivars protectable or not protectable by plant
25 breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all parts and organs of
plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material, and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings,,
30 tubers, rhizomes, offsets and seeds.

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
Treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active
compounds is carried out directly or by allowing the compounds to act on the
surroundings, environment or storage space by the customary treatment methods, for
example by immersion, spraying, evaporation, fogging, scattering, painting on and, in
5 the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, also by applying
one or more coats.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or
10 those obtained by conventional biological breeding, such as crossing or protoplast
fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetical engineering, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The term "parts" or "parts of plants" or "plant parts" has been
15 explained above.
Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention.
20 Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth
conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive ("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions to be used according to
25 the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures,
increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible which exceed the
30 effects which were actually to be expected.

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetical engineering)
which are preferably to be treated according to the invention include all plants which,
in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted particularly
advantageous useful properties ("traits") to these plants. Examples of such properties
5 are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased
tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized
10 examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and
microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes,
15 cotton, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits
and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes
20 CrylA(a), CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb
and CrylF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as "Bt plants"). Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the "PAT" gene). The
25 genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination
with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of "Bt plants" which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example
30 maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of
herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup
Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya bean), Liberty
Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to
imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylurea, for example maize).
5 Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide
tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which plants will be developed and/or marketed in the future.
10
The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner with the compounds of the formula (I). The preferred ranges stated above for the active compounds also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the mixtures specifically
15 mentioned in the present text.
The active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as
solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble
powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials
20 impregnated with active compound and microencapsulations in polymeric substances.
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.
25
If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ for example organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic
30 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

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
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.
5 As solid carriers there are suitable:
for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly disperse silica, alumina and silicates; as solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as
10 calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, and also synthetic granules of inorganic
and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; as emulsifiers and/or foam-formers there are suitable: for example nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers,
15 alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates and also protein hydrolysates; as
dispersants there are suitable: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the
20 form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and
polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.
25 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.
30 The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active
compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
The active compound according to the invention can be present in its commercially
available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a
mixture with other active compounds, such as insecticides, attractants, sterilizing
5 agents, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances
or herbicides. The insecticides include, for example, phosphoric acid esters, carbamates, carboxylates, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenylureas and substances produced by microorganisms, inter alia.

In the field of household insecticides, they are used alone or in combination with other suitable active compounds, such as phosphoric acid esters, carbamates, pyrethroids, growth regulators or active compounds from other known classes of insecticides.
15
They are used as aerosols, pressure-free spray products, for example pump and atomizer sprays, automatic fogging systems, foggers, foams, gels, evaporator products with evaporator tablets made of cellulose or polymer, liquid evaporators, gel and membrane evaporators, propeller-driven evaporators, energy-free, or passive,
20 evaporation systems, moth papers, moth bags and moth gels, as granules or dusts, in
baits for spreading or in bait stations.
The active compounds according to the invention can be used as defoliants,
desiccants, haulm killers and, especially, as weed killers. Weeds in the broadest sense
25 are understood to mean all plants which grow in locations where they are undesired.
Whether the substances according to the invention act as total or selective herbicides depends essentially on the amount used.
The active compounds according to the invention can be used, for example, in
30 connection with the following plants:

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
Dicotyledonous weeds of the genera: Abutilon, Amaranthus, Ambrosia, Anoda,
Anthemis, Aphanes, Atriplex, Bellis, Bidens, Capsella, Carduus, Cassia, Centaurea,
Chenopodium, Cirsium, Convolvulus, Datura, Desmodium, Emex, Erysimum,

Monocotvledonous crops of the genera: Allium, Ananas, Asparagus, Avena, Hordeum, Oryza, Panicum, Saccharum, Secale, Sorghum, Triticale, Triticum, Zea.
However, the use of the active compounds according to the invention is in no way
25 restricted to these genera, but also extends in the same manner to other plants.
The active compounds according to the invention are suitable, depending on the
concentration, for the total control of weeds, for example on industrial terrain and rail
tracks, and on paths and areas with and without tree plantings. Similarly, the active
30 compounds according to the invention can be employed for controlling weeds in
perennial crops, for example forests, decorative tree plantings, orchards, vineyards,

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
citrus groves, nut orchards, banana plantations, coffee plantations, tea plantations, rubber plantations, oil palm plantations, cocoa plantations, soft fruit plantings and hop fields, on lawns, turf and pastureland, and for the selective control of weeds in annual crops. 5
The compounds according to the invention have strong herbicidal activity and a
broad active spectrum when used on the soil and on above-ground parts of plants. To
a certain extent they are also suitable for the selective control of monocotyledonous
and dicotyledonous weeds in monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous crops, both by
10 the pre-emergence and by the post-emergence method.
At certain concentrations or application rates, the active compounds according to the
invention can also be employed for controlling animal pests and fungal or bacterial
plant diseases. If appropriate, they can also be used as intermediates or precursors for
15 the synthesis of other active compounds.
The active compounds can be converted into the customary formulations such as
solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble
powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials
20 impregnated with active compound, and microencapsulations in polymeric materials.
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
25 foam formers.
If the extender used is water, it is also possible, for example, to use organic solvents
as cosolvents. The following are essentially suitable as liquid solvents: aromatics
such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated
30 aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene
chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and 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, or else water. 5
Suitable solid carriers are: for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic materials such as highly-disperse silica, alumina and silicates; suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example crushed
10 and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite,
or else synthetic granules of 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 nonionic and anionic emulsifiers such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for
15 example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates,
arylsulphonates, or else protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the
20 form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and
polyvinyl acetate, or else natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.
25 It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide,
titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic colorants such as alizarin colorants, azo colorants and metal phthalocyanine colorants, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
30 The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active
compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

Le A 34 460-Foreign Countries
