Abstract:
1. A method of controlling harmful plants in soybean crops, comprising applying jointly or separately, pre-emergence, post-emergence or pre- and post-emergence to the plants, parts of the plants, seeds of the plants or the area under cultivation a synergistic effective amount of a herbicidal combination comprising: (A) a broad-spectrum herbicide selected from the group consisting of: (A1) compounds of the formula (A1),  wherein Z is a radical of the formula —OH or a peptide radical of the formula —NHCH(CH (A2) compounds of the formula (A2) and their salts, (A3) imidazolinones and their salts and (A4) herbicidal azoles from the protoporphyrinogen-oxidase inhibitors (PPO inhibitors) and (B) one or more herbicides selected from the group consisting of: (B1) foliar-acting and/or soil-acting herbicides which are effective selectively in soybeans against monocotyledonous and predominantly dicotyledonous harmful plants, selected from the group consisting of trifluralin, metribuzin, clomazone, pendimethalin, metolachlor, flumetsulam, dimethenamid, alachlor, linuron, sulfentrazone, ethalfluralin, fluthiamide, norflurazone, vernolate and flumioxazin, (B2) herbicides which are effective selectively in soybeans against dicotyledonous harmful plants, selected from the group consisting of chlortoluron, bentazone, thifensulfuron, oxyfluorfen, lactofen, fomesafen, flumiclorac, acifluorfen, 2,4-DB, 2,4-D, chlorimuron, diclosulam, fluthiacet, cloransulam and oxasulfuron, (B3) foliar- and soil-acting herbicides which are effective selectively in soybeans against monocotyledonous harmful plants, selected from the group consisting of sethoxydim, cycloxydim and clethodim, (B4) foliar-acting herbicides which are effective selectively in soybeans against monocotyledonous harmful plants, selected from the group consisting of quizalofop-P, quizalofop, fenoxaprop-P, fenoxaprop, fluazifop-P, fluazifop, haloxyfop, haloxyfop-P and propaquizafop or (B5) nonselective herbicides which can be employed in soybeans for specific purposes, selected from the group consisting of paraquat or and optionally at least one safener, whereby the soybean crops are tolerant to the herbicides (A) and (B) which form a constituent of the combination, with the exception of the following combinations: a) combinations comprising compounds of group (A1) and compounds of group (B) selected from the group consisting of cloransulam, metolachlor, metribuzin, chlorimuron, dimethenamid, pendimethalin, bentazone, clomazone, thifensulfuron, flumiclorac, flumetsulam, linuron, sethoxydim, acifluorfen, fomesafen, sulfentrazone, flumioxazin, lactofen, norflurazone, propaquizafop, fenoxaprop-P, fluthiacet and oxasulfuron; b) combinations comprising compounds of group (A2) and compounds of group (B) selected from the group consisting of metolachlor, dimethenamid, metribuzin, chlorimuron, pendimethalin, bentazone, linuron, norflurazone, propaquizafop, acifluorfen, fluthiacet and oxasulfuron; c) combinations comprising compounds of group (A3) from the group consisting of imazethapyr, and compounds of group (B) from the group consisting of 2,4-D, metolachlor, bentazone, clomazone, thifensulfuron, flumiclorac, pendimethalin trifluralin, sulfentrazone, lactofen, dimethenamid, acifluorfen and fenoxaprop-P; d) combinations comprising compounds of group (A3) selected from the group consisting of 2,4-D, imazaquin, and compounds of group (B) selected from the group consisting of pendimethalin, trifluralin and metolachlor; e) combinations comprising compounds of group (A3) selected from the group consisting of imazamox (AC299263), and compounds of group (B) selected from the group consisting of bentazone and trifluralin; f) combinations comprising compounds of group (A3) selected from the group consisting of imazapyr, and compounds of group (B) selected from the group consisting of metolachlor.
