The isothiocyanates of formula II are known or can be prepared analogously to known processes. Such compounds are described, for example, in EP-A-0 304 920, EP-A-0 238 711, EP-A-0 409 025, EP-A-0 373 461, EP-A-0 311 135 and DE-OS-3 724 098.

For the use of the compounds of formula I according to the invention or compositions comprising them there are suitable any of the methods of application customary in agriculture, such as preemergence application, postemergence application and seed dressing, as well as various methods and techniques, such as the controlled release of active ingredient. In that method the compound is applied in solution to mineral granule carriers or polymerised granules (urea/formaldehyde) and dried. Where appropriate, it is also possible to apply a coating (coated granules) which allows the active ingredient to be released in metered amounts over a specific period.

The compounds of formula I can be used in unmodified form, i.e. as obtained during synthesis, but are preferably formulated in customary manner together with the adjuvants conventionally employed in formulation technology, e.g. into emulsifiable concentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dusts, granules and microcapsules. As with the nature of the compositions, the methods of application, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, wetting, scattering or pouring, are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances.

The formulations, i.e. the compositions, preparations or mixtures comprising the compound (active ingredient) of formula I or at least one compound of formula I and, where appropriate, one or more solid or liquid adjuvants, are prepared in known manner, e.g. by homogeneously mixing and/or grinding the active ingredients with the adjuvants, e.g. solvents or solid carriers. Surface-active compounds (surfactants) may additionally be used in the preparation of the formulations.

Suitable solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably the fractions containing 8 to 12 carbon atoms, such as mixtures of alkylbenzenes, e.g. xylene mixtures or alkylated naphthalenes; aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as paraffins, cyclohexane or tetrahydronaphthalene; alcohols, such as ethanol, propanol or butanol; glycols and their ethers and esters, such as propylene glycol or dipropylene glycol ether, ketones such as cyclohexanone, isophorone or diacetone alcohol, strongly polar solvents such as N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, dimethyl sulfoxide or water; vegetable oils and their esters, such as rape oil, castor oil or soybean oil; and optionally also silicone oils.

The solid carriers used e.g. for dusts and dispersible powders are normally natural mineral fillers, such as calcite, talcum, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. In order to improve the physical properties it is also possible to add highly dispersed silicic acid or highly dispersed absorbent polymers. Suitable granulated adsorptive carriers are porous types, for example pumice, broken brick, sepiolite or bentonite; and suitable non-sorbent carriers are, for example, calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of pregranulated materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used, such as especially dolomite or pulverised plant residues.

Depending on the nature of the compound of formula I to be formulated, suitable surface-active compounds are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term "surfactants" will also be understood as comprising mixtures of surfactants.

Both so-called water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds are suitable anionic surfactants.

Suitable soaps are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C.sub.10 -C.sub.22), e.g. the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures which can be obtained e.g. from coconut oil or tallow oil; mention may also be made of fatty acid methyltaurin salts.

More frequently, however, so-called synthetic surfactants are used, especially fatty alcohol sulfonates, fatty alcohol sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates. The fatty alcohol sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts and contain a C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl radical, which also includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, for example the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecyl sulfate or of a mixture of fatty alcohol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acids. These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfated and sulfonated fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical containing 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of a condensate of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde.

Also suitable are corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of the phosphoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonylphenol with 4 to 14 mol of ethylene oxide, or phospholipids.

Non-ionic surfactants are preferably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, it being possible for said derivatives to contain 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols.

Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediaminopolypropylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit.

Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenol polyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylenelpolyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol.

Fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, e.g. polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.

Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts which contain, as N-substituent, at least one C.sub.8 -C.sub.22 alkyl radical and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methyl sulfates or ethyl sulfates, for example stearyltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.

The surfactants customarily employed in formulation technology, which can also be used in the compositions according to the invention, are described inter alia in the following publications: Rock, N.J., 1988. Publishing Co., New York, 1980-1981. Verlag, Munich/Vienna 1981.

The herbicidal compositions usually comprise 0.1 to 99%, preferably 0.1 to 95%, of a compound of formula I, 1 to 99% of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and 0 to 25%, preferably 0.1 to 25%, of a surfactant.

Whereas commercial products are preferably formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations.

The compositions may also comprise further ingredients such as stabilisers, e.g. vegetable oils and epoxidised vegetable oils (epoxidised coconut oil, rape oil or soybean oil), antifoams, e.g. silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and tackifiers, as well as fertlisers or other active ingredients for obtaining special effects. Preferred formulations have especially the following composition (throughout, percentages are by weight) Emulsifiable concentrates: active ingredient: 1 to 90%, preferably 5 to 50% surfactant:      5 to 30%, preferably 10 to 20% liquid carrier:  15 to 94%, preferably 70 to 85% Dusts: active ingredient: 0.1 to 50%, preferably 0.1 to 1% solid carrier:   99.9 to 90%, preferably 99.9 to 99% Suspension concentrates: active ingredient: 5 to 75%, preferably 10 to 50% water:           94 to 24%, preferably 88 to 30% surfactant:      1 to 40%, preferably 2 to 30% Wettable powders: active ingredient: 0.5 to 90%, preferably 1 to 80% surfactant:      0.5 to 20%, preferably 1 to 15% solid carrier:   5 to 95%, preferably 15 to 90% Granules: active ingredient: 0.1 to 30%, preferably 0.1 to 15% solid carrier:   99.5 to 70%, preferably 97 to 85% ______________________________________

The compounds of formula I are generally used successfully at rates of application of from 0.001 to 2 kg/ha, especially from 0.005 to 1 kg/ha. The concentration required to achieve the desired effect can be determined by experiment. It is dependent upon the type of action, the stage of development of the crop plant and of the weed, and also upon the application (place, time, method) and, in dependence on those parameters, can vary within wide limits.

When used at relatively low rates of application, the compounds of formula I are distinguished by growth-inhibiting and herbicidal properties that make them outstandingly suitable for use in crops of useful plants, especially in cereals, maize, rape, soybeans, rice and cotton.

Crops are also to be understood as being those which have been rendered tolerant to herbicides or classes of herbicide by conventional methods of breeding or by genetic techniques.

The Examples that follow further illustrate, but do not limit, the invention.

Preemergence herbicidal action

Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous test plants are sown in plastic pots containing standard soil and, immediately after sowing, are sprayed with an aqueous suspension of the test compounds, prepared from a 25% wettable powder formulation (Formulation example F3 b)), corresponding to a rate of application of 2 kg of active ingredient/hectare (500 l of water/ha). The test plants are then cultivated in a greenhouse under optimum conditions. After 3 weeks, the test is evaluated in accordance with a scale of nine ratings (1=total damage, 9=no action). Ratings of 1 to 4 (especially 1 to 3) indicate good to very good herbicidal action.

Test plants: Avena, Lolium, Setaria, Sinapis, Solanum, Stellaria

The compounds of Tables 1 to 16 exhibit pronounced herbicidal action in this test

Examples of the good herbicidal action are listed in Table B 1. ______________________________________ Preemergence action Comp.  Conc.    Test plants: Lo-  Seta- Sina- Sola- Stel- No.    kg ai/ha!

Post-emergence herbicidal action (contact herbicide)

Monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous test plants are raised in a greenhouse in plastic pots containing standard soil and in the 4- to 6-leaf stage are sprayed with an aqueous suspension of the test compounds of formula I, prepared from a 25% wettable powder formulation (Formulation example F3 b)), corresponding to a rate of application of 2 kg of active ingredient/hectare (500 l of water/ha). The test plants are then grown on in the greenhouse under optimum conditions. After about 18 days the test is evaluated in accordance with a scale of nine ratings (1=total damage, 9=no action). Ratings of 1 to 4 (especially 1 to 3) indicate good to very good herbicidal action.
