Abstract
Abstract Herbicidal diphenyl ether compounds of the formula <IMAGE> wherein R1 is an alkyl group optionally substituted by halogen or phenyl; R2 is hydrogen, halogen or nitro; R3 is hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, trifluoromethyl or cyano; R4 is hydrogen, halogen, or trifluoromethyl; R5 is halogen or trifluoromethyl; and R6 is hydrogen, or C1-C4 alkyl. These compounds are useful as selective herbicides in a range of crops, for example, cotton, soya bean, peas, maize, wheat and rice.
