Claim 2
Independent Claim 212 words
A method for the control of undesirable plant species comprising; applying to undesirable plants or soil containing seeds, a herbicidally effective amount of a compound having the formula: ##STR109## wherein R 1 is secondary alkyl C 3 -C 7 ; benzyl; cyclohexenyl; alkoxy C 3 -C 4 ; acetyl; chloroacetyl; 2-butan-3-one; isobutyryl; t-butyl; methoxymethylpropyl; 2-cyclohexyl-1-one; ##STR110## where n is 0 or 1; or --(CH 2 ) n -cycloalkyl C 3 -C 8 optionally substituted with hydroxy, alkoxy C 1 -C 3 , alkyl C 1 -C 3 , or ##STR111## where R is hydrogen or C 1 -C 2 alkyl and n is 0 or 1; R 2 is secondary alkyl C 3 -C 7 ; benzyl; cycloalkenyl C 3 -C 8 ; --(CH 2 ) n -cycloalkyl (C 3 -C 8 ) optionally substituted with hydroxy, alkoxy C 1 -C 3 , alkyl C 1 -C 3 or ##STR112## where R is hydrogen or C 1 -C 2 alkyl and n is 0 or 1; 2-cyclohexyl-1`-one or ##STR113## where n is 0 or 1; R 4 represents, chloro, isothiacyano, cyano, methoxy or nitro; R 5 and R 6 and R 7 are each hydrogen wherein said compound is applied at the rate of from about 0.25 lb./acre to about 4.0 lbs./acre.
