Abstract

Abstract Herbicidal compositions containing (1) an alkyl Nphenylcarbamate, (2) 2-chloro-2'', 6''-diethyl-N(methoxymethyl)acetanilide, and (3) an aryl N-alkylcarbamate, an aryl N,N-dialkylcarbamate, or an aryl N-cycloalkylcarbamate are disclosed. An exemplary composition contains isopropyl N-(3chlorophenyl)carbamate, 2-chloro-2'', 6''-diethyl-N-(methoxymethyl)acetanilide, and 4-chlorophenyl N-methylcarbamate. These compositions are generally used for pre-emergent applications. The compounds may be applied together or separately.
