Total Claims: 21
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
A method of inhibiting the growth of suckers on tobacco plants which comprises applying to the tobacco plants an effective amount of a compound of the formula: ##STR58## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of: (a) hydrogen, (b) lower alkyl, (c) halo-substituted-lower alkyl, (d) lower alkenyl, (e) alkoxy-lower alkyl, and (f) monocycloalkyl-lower alkyl, with the proviso that only one of R 1 and R 2 can be branched lower alkyl or branched lower alkenyl; wherein R 3 is selected from the group consisting of: (a) halo, (b) lower alkyl, (c) halo-substituted-lower alkyl, (d) methylsulfonyl, and (e) sulfanilamide; with the proviso that R 1 and R 2 cannot both be hydrogen and that one of R 1 and R 2 may only be hydrogen when: (a) R 2 is alkoxy-lower alkyl, or (b) R 3 is halo-substituted lower alkyl.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
