Description: IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO N-ARYLBENZAMIDE DERIVATIVES This invention concerns a class of novel N-arylbenzamide derivatives, which have been discovered to be effective herbicides. The use of herbicides to control selectively the growth of unwanted vegetation in crops grown for human and domestic animal consumption is well ester lished. However, a number of problems are associated with the continued use of chemical herbicides, includ- ing environmental pollution, crop tolerance, weed resistance, as well as economic considerations. Accordingly, the search continues for new herbicides which are economical and which are selectively toxic to unwanted vegetation A wide variety of benzamides are known in t:e art. Ward, for example, in U.S. Patent No. 4,141,984, discloses certain thiadiazolyl benzamides which are said to possess insecticidal efficacy. Kaplan et 1., in U.S. Patent No. 4,189,495, disclose a series of 2-methoxybenzamides which allegedly possess pharma- cological activity. It has now been discovered that N-arylbenzamide derivatives of formula (I) EMI2.1 wherein: Z is oxygen or sulfur; R1 is hydrogen, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, or C1-C4 alkoxy; R is hydrogen, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 alkylthio or trifluoromethyl; R@ is is hydrogen, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C alkoxy or C -C4 alkylthio; provided that when one of RÚ, Rê or R is alkyl, one or both of the other phenyl substituents is other than hydrogen; and when @ @ @ R2 is trifluoromethyl, one or both of R1 and R3 is other than hydrogen; R4 is an aryl group selected from EMI2.2 wherein: A is CH or N and B is CH or N, provided that one of A and B is CH and the other is N; X is NH, O or S; R is hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; 5 is hydrogen, EMI3.1 wherein: y is an integer from 0 to 3; R5, R7 and R8 independently are hydrogen, C -C alkyl, halo-C1-C13 alkyl, C2-C13 alkenyl, C2-C13 alkynyl, C1-C4 alkoxy-C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C4 alkylthio-C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy, C2-C4 alkanoyloxy C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkylthio, or EMI3.2 in which m is an integer from 0 to 4; n is zero or 1; and R9 and R10 independently are hydrogen, halogen, C1 C4 alkyl or C2-C4 alkenyl; Q1 and Q2 are independently CM2, O, S, CHO or CH2S, provided that when Q1 and Q2 are both other than CH2, y is not 0; provided that R5 is hydrogen only when R4 is EMI4.1 and provided that R2 and R3 are other than hydrogen when 4 R is EMI4.2 and their agronomically-acceptable salts, are effective herbicides. One valuable class of benzamide derivatives of formula (I) which may be mentioned are those compounds wherein Z is oxygen, R4 is EMI4.3 where R is hydrogen; R5 is hydrogen, EMI5.1 wherein: and R7 independently are hydrogen, C1-C4 alkyl, C2-C4 alkenyl or C2-C4 alkynyl; y is an integer from 0 to 4; R8 is hydrogen, C1-C13 alkyl, halo-C1-C13 alkyl, C2-C13 alkenyl, C2-C13 alkynyl, C1-C4 alkoxy C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C4 alkylthio-C1-C6 alkyl, EMI5.2 wherein: m is an integer from 0 to 4; n is zero or 1; and R9 and R10 independently are hydrogen, halogen, C1-C4 alkyl or C2-C4 alkenyl.

Formulations comprising one or more other compatible herbicides are also contemplated. Additionally provided by the invention is a method for controlling the growth of undesired vegetation comprising applying to the locus where vegetative control is desired a herbicidally-effective amount of a benzamide defined by the above general formula. The herbicidal method is ideally carried out employing the preferred benzamides as delineated above. For example, a preferred method comprises applying to the locus where the growth of unwanted vegetation is to be eliminated or retarded a herbicidally effective amount of a benzamide of the formula EMI8.1 wherein R2 and R3 independently are C1-C4 alkoxy such as methoxy or ethoxy, and R4 is selected from EMI9.1 wherein R is hydrogen, wherein R5 is EMI9.2 and R6 and R7 independently are C1-C4 alkyl and R8 is Cl-Cl3 alkyl or cycloalkyl of the formula EMI9.3 wnerein Q1 anG Q2 @otn represent methylene. R1, R2 and R3 are used in the above formula to define groups which include C1-C4 alkyl, C1-C4 alkoxy, C1-C4 alkylthio, and halogen. The term "C1-C4 alkyl'1 refers to both straight and branched chain alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, isopropyl and tert.-butyl. The term "C1-C4 alkoxy" refers to the same C1-C4 alkyl groups which are linked through an oxygen atom. Such groups include methoxy, n-propoxy, n-butoxy and the like. Typical "C1-C4 alkylthio" groups include methylthio, ethylthio and isopropylthio. Halogen" as used herein refers to fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo. As noted above, preferred benzamides are those wherein R is hydrogen and R2 and R3 are alkoxy, especially methoxy or ethoxy attached at the 2 and 6-positions of the benzamide phenyl ring. R4 in thed above formula defines an aryl moiety such as isoxazolyl, thiadiazolyl, isothiazolyl, triazolyl, pyrazolyl, oxadiazolyl, and pyridazinyl. Preferred benzamide derivatives of formula (I) are those defined bythe above formula wherein R4 is 3-isoxazolyl, 5-isoxazolyl or 1,3,4-thladiazolyl. 4. The aryl moiety defined by R4 is required to bear a substituent defined by R5. It has been found that the most active, and accordingly the most preferred benzamide derivatives, are those wherein the aryl substituent defined by R5 is a sterically hindered or bulky group. The concept of a sterically hindered or bulky group is known to those skilled in the art. Such terms include herein groups which are attached to the aryl ring through a secondary or tertiary carbon atom. Cyclic groups which are linked through a secondary or tertiary carbon atom also are bulky groups, as are cyclic groups attached directly to the aryl moiety. A typical R5 substituent which is preferred is a bulky alkyl group. For example, R5 represents an alkyl substituent when it refers to a group of the formula EMI11.1 and R6 6 and R7 refer to hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl and R8 is C1-C13 alkyl. The most bulky alkyl groups clearly are those wherein one or both of R6 and R7 independently are C1-C4 alkyl, and benzamides bearing such substituents are preferred. Typically preferred bulky alkyl groups thus include tert.-butyl, l,l-dimethylpropyl, l,l-diethylpentyl, 1-ethyl- l-propylhexyl, 1-ethyl- 1- methylpropyl, 1, 1-diethyloctyl, l,l-diethylpropyl, l-methyl-l-n-propylheptyl, l-ethyl-l-isopropyloctyl, and l,l-di-n-propyldecyl. Other bulky alkyl groups which can be utilized include 1,2-dimethylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylheptyl, 2,2dimethylpentyl, l-ethylheptyl, 2,2-diethylpropyl, l,l-dimethyl-2,2-diethylbutyl, 1,1,2,2-tetramethylhexyl, and 1-methyl-l-n-propyl-2-ethyloctyl. The aryl substituent defined by R5 in the above formula can be any of several bulky substituents other than a straight or branched chain alkyl group, including cycloalkyl of the formula EMI12.1 wherein R6 is C1-C4 alkyl; R9 and R10 independently are hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; Q1 and Q2 are CH2; and y is an integer from 0 to 4. Typical examples of such groups include l-methylcyclobutyl, l-ethylcyclopentyl, l-ethylcyclohexyl, 1-methylcycloheptyl, and the like. R5 also refers to haloalkyl groups, alkenyl groups, and alkynyl groups, for instance when R5 is -CR6R7R8 wherein R8 is halo-C1-C13 alkyl, C2-C13 alkenyl or C2-C13 alkynyl respectively. Examples of such haloalkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl substituents as defined by R5 include 1,1-dimethyl-3-chloropropyl, 1, 2-diethyl-3, 4-dibromohexyl, l-ethyl-l-n-propyl-8 iodononyl, 1,1-di-n-propyl-4-fluorobutyl, 1-methyl-1isopropyl-12-chlorododecyl, 1,1-dimethyl-3-butenyl, 2,3-diethyl-4-hexenyl, 1,1-diethyl-2,2-dimethy-5hexenyl, 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexamethyl-9-decenyl, 1,1dimethyl-4-hexynyl, 1,2-diethyl-3-heptynyl, 1-isopropyl-3-butynyl, and the lake. R5 in the above formula additionally refers to CR 6R7R8 wherein R is C1-C alkoxy-C1-C6 alkyl and C1-C4 alkylthio-C1-C6 alkyl. These terms refer to straight or branched carbon chains from one to six carbon atoms in length which bear a C1-C4 straight or branched carbon chain linked through oxygen or sulfur. Preferred alkoxyalkyl and alkylthioalkyl groups defined by R5 are those which are sterically hindered or bulky, for example those which include a branched carbon chain attached directly to the aryl group (i.e. where one or both of R6 and R7 ared alkyl). Such preferred groups include l,l-dimethyl-2-methoxyethyl, 1-ethyl-3-methyl- thiopropyl, 1,1-diethyl-2-isopropoxy-ethyl, 1-n-propyl 3-tert.-butylthiopropyl and 2-ethyl-3-methyl-3-nbutoxypropyl. R5 also defines an alkyl group which bears a phenylalkyl or phenylalkoxy moiety, or a cycloalkyl moiety. For example, R3 refers to the group -CR6R7R8 in which R8 includes phenylalkyl, phenylalkoxy, cycloalkyl and cycloalkylalkyl substituents defined by the formulas EMI13.1 wherein y, m, n, R9 and R10 are defined above. Examples of benzamide aryl substituents thus defined by R5 include-1,1-dimethyl-2-phenoxyethyl, 1, 1-diethyl-3- benzyloxypropyl, l,l-diethyl-2-phenylethyl, l-n- propyl-3- (2-chlorophenyl)butyl, 1,1-dimethyl-2-cyclohexylethyl, l-ethyl-2-methyl-2- (3-allylcyclohexyl)- ethyl, l,l-diethyl-2-(3-phenylpropoxy)ethyl, l-isopropyl-4-(2,2-dichlorocyclopentyl)butyl, and related groups. The N-arylbenzamide derivatives of formula (I) can be prepared by processes which are presently known in the art or which are analogous to art-known synthetic methods. A preferred method for preparing the compounds is by acylation of an aryl amined of the formula H2NR4 with an appropriately substituted benzoic acid derivative according to the following sequence: EMI14.1 wherein R1 R2 R3 and R4 are as defined above, and h is a good leaving group, for example lower alkanoyloxy such as formyloxy or acetoxy; halide such as chloro, bromo or iodo, or an activated ester forming group such as pentachlorophenoxy or the like. A preferred good leaving group is halogen such as chloro or bromo. To form benzamide derivatives of formula (I) in which Z is sulfur, it is necessary to thiate the ketone group of the amide formed in the above acylation reaction. Suitable thiating agents are phosphorous pentasulfide or Lawesson's Reagent (Tetra hedrcn Letters, 22, 4061 (1980)). The thiation is preferably accomplished by refluxing the amide start ing material with the thiating agent in an aprotic organic solvent such as dioxane or toluene. Typical reaction temperatures range from 50 to 1500C. The acylation reaction can be carried out by commingling the benzoic acid derivative with about an equimolar quantity of the aryl amine in a mutual solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, dichloromethane, dioxane, dimethylsulfoxide, dimethyl formamide, benzene, toluene, and the like. If desired, a base can be utilized in the acylation reaction to act as an acid scavenger. Commonly used bases include sodium carbonate, sodium hydride, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, pyridine, triethylamine and related bases. The acylation generally is substantially complete after about two to about ninety hours when carried out at a temperature of about 20 to about 2000C, preferably from about 30 to about 1200C. The product of the reaction, an N-aryl benzamide of the invention, can be isolated by simply removing the reaction solvent, for instance by evaporation under reduced pressure. The product can be further purified if needed by any cf several routine methods, including crystallization from solvents such as ethanol, ethyl acetate, diethyl ether, toluene, or the like; chromatography over solid supports such as silica or alumina, and related purification techniques. The preparation of the benzamide derivatives of formula (I) requires the use of starting materials which are either known or are readily reparable by methods familiar to those in the art. Most of the substituted benzoic acids which are required are commercially available. The reactive derivatives of such benzoic acids are prepared by routine procedures. For example, a preferred synthetic method according to this invention requires the use of substituted benzoic acid halides or mixed anhydrides. The acid halides are prepared by reaction of a benzoic acid with a halogenating agent such as oxalyl chloride, thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride or phosphorus tribromide. The benzoic acid anhydrides which can be condensed with an amine to form a benzamide can be made bv reacting a benzoic acid alkali metal salt, for example a sodium or potassium salt, with an acid halide such as benzoyl chloride or acetyl bromide. Benzoic acid derivatives which are commonly employed in the synthesis of the benzamides of this invention include the following: 2, 6-dimethoxybenzoyl chloride; 2, 6-dimethoxybenzoyl formic anhydride; 2,6-diethoxybenzoyl bromide; 2,6-di-n-propoxybenzoyl iodide; 2,6-di-isopropoxybenzoyl bromide; 2-methoxy-6-n-propoxybenzoyl chloride; 2-methoxy-3-ethoxybenzoyl bromide; 3-ethoxy-5-n-propoxybenzoyl acetic anhydride; 2,4,6-triethylbenzoyl bromide; 3,5-di-n-butylbenzoyl chliride; 2-methoxy-6-chlorobenzoyl bromide; 2,6-ai-n-propoxybenzoyl acetic anhydride; 2-methoxy-6-fluorobenzoyl bromide; 2, 6-dimethoxy-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride; 2,6-diethylbenzoyl iodide; 2,4,6-trimethoxybenzoyl chloride; 2-methoxy-6-ethylthiobenzoyl bromide; ; 2-methoxy-6-ethyl-4-trifluoromethyl benzoyl bromide, and the like. The aryl amines of the formula H2NR4 which are required as starting materials are either readily available commercially or are preparable by artrecognized procedures. For example, 3-substituted-5aminoisoxazoles can be prepared by reaction of a suitable carboxylic acid ester such as R5CoOCHw with acetonitrile and a strong base such as sodium hydride, followed by reaction with hydroxylamine according to the following scheme: EMI17.1 Similarly, 5-substituted-3-amino-isoxazoles can be prepared by iminoether formation with a suitably substituted -ketonitrile followed by treatment with hydroxy lamine to form an iminium salt, and finally reaction with a protonic acid according to the following general scheme: : EMI18.1 The thiadiazole amines which are required as starting materials can be prepared by reaction of a carboxylic acid halide with thiosemicarbazide as follows: EMI18.2 Similarly, pyrazole amines can be synthesized by reacting hydrazine with a suitably substituted 3-keto nitrile according to the following scheme: EMI18.3 Hydrazine is also utilized in the synthesis or triazole derivatives according to the following path: EMI19.1 Imidazolyl amines can be prepared by reacting cyanamide with an aminomethyl ketone according to the following scheme: EMI19.2 Aminomethyl ketones also are reacted with ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen peroxide to give amino isothiazoles: : EMI19.3 Amino oxadiazoles are readily prepared by reaction of an amide oxime with trichloroacetic anhydride followed by treatment with ammonia: EMI20.1 Amino pyridazines are prepared by reaction of ammonia with a suitably substituted halopyridazine according to the following scheme: EMI20.2 These and other synthetic paths leading to aryl amines of the formula H2NR4 are well known to those skilled in the art of organic chemistry.

Yield 83% The benzamide derivatives of formula I have been found to display useful herbicidal activity against a variety of weed species commonly occurring in areas utilized for growing desired crops such as the cereal grains and the like. The selective herbicidal activity of the compounds has been analyzed in a number of standard greenhouse and open field tests. One such test was a broad spectrum greenhouse test carried out by filling square plastic pots with a sterilized sand loam soil and planting seeds of tomato, large crabgrass and pigweed. Each pot was ertilized with 158 mg of a 23-21-17 fertilizer four days before treatment with test compound. The test compounds were formulated for application by dissolving each ompound in a solution con prisin; 100 ml of acetate und 130 ml of ethanol plus 1 174 of Toximul; R and 6 783 g of Toximul S. (Toximul R and @oximul S are proprietary blends of anionic and n@nich@c surfactants ma@uf@tured by Stepan Chemical C@rpany, Northfield, Illinois). Each test compound was di@solved in the di a; a the rate of 20 m per 2 ml of solvent, and then the solution was diluted to 8 ml with deionized water. The formulated compounds were applied to the planted pots at an effective rate of 15 pounds per acre. Test compounds were applied postemergence to some planted pots and preemergence to others. The postemergence applications were made by spraying the solution containing the test compound over the emerged plants about twelve days after the seeds were planted. Preemergence applications were sprayed on the soil one day after the seeds were planted. Following application of the test compounds, the pots were placed in a greenhouse and watered as necessary. Observations were conducted about 10-13 days following-application of the test compounds, and untreated control plants were used as standards in each observation. The degree of herbicidal activity of the test compounds was determined by rating the treated plants on a scale of 1-5. On this scale, "1" indicates no plant injury; "2" is slight injury; "3" is moderate plant injury; "4" is severe injury and "5" is death of the plant or no seedling emergence. The type of plant injury sustained by the plants was tabulated using the following code letters: A = abscission of leaves B = burned C = chlorosis D = death E @ epinast@ F = formative effects G = dark green I = increased plant growth L = local necrosis N = no germination P = purple pigmentation R - reduced germination S = stunting U = unclassified injury Compounds causing plant injuries rated 4 or 5 are considered very active, while compounds rated 2 or 3 are considered moderately active.

Many of the compounds are even more potent when applied to soil and incorporated therein prior to planting of crop seeds. Pre-plant incorporation is particularly preferred when employing a benzamide which displays less than desirable potency or selectivity when surface applied. For example, the compound of Example 52, namely N-[3- (l-methylethyl)-5- isoxazolyl]-2,6-dimethoxybenzamide, failed to retard the vigor of tomato, large crabgrass or pigweed when applied both pre- and post-emergence at 15 pounds per acre. When the compound was applied at 15 pounds per acre and incorporated into the soil prior to seeding, it totally retarded the growth of tomato, wild mustard and lambsquarter, and demonstrated significant herbicidal activity against pigweed, sugarbeets and Jlmsonweed. The herbicidal activity of several compounds provided herein has been determined following pre-plant incorporation of the benzamide derivative. The evaluations were carried out by first formulating an appropriate amount of test compound in 2.5 ml. of a fifty 'percent mixture of acetone and ethanol. The solution was diluted to 12.5 ml. by the addition of deionized water. The formulated test compound was sprayed onto five quarts of screened, autoclaved greenhouse potting soil. The test compound was incorporated into the soil mixture by tumbling the mixture in a modified cement mixer. The treated soil was transferred to greenhouse flats, and the lats were seeded to various weed and crop species. The seeded flats were maintained in a greenhouse, with sub-irrigation as needed. Plant injury ratings attributable to the test compound were made sixteen days post treatment and planting, utilizing a scale of 0 to 10, wherein 0 is no injury and 10 represents death of the plant species.

In a typical field trial, the benzamides were applied pre-emergence as an aqueous spray in soil seeded to cereal grains and having weed species present common wIth such crops. The studies routinely involved randomized blocks with four replIcates. Observations were made for grain crop vigor, weed control, crop injury, crop emergence, and root injury. One such field stud was carried out in Great Britain to determine the efficacy and selectivity of preferred benzamides when surface applied pre-emergence to soil seeded to common wheat. Observations were made twenty-five days post-application to determine the vigor of the treated wheat plants compared to untreated controls, and to determine the amount of control of various weed species effected by the benzamides. The results of the field test are presented below in Table V. The data presented for crop vigor is the comparison of treated wheat to untreated wheat, the untreated controls being assigned a vigor rating of 100 percent. Weed control ratings are given in percentage of control compared to untreated control plots based upon visual inspection.

Some of the compounds also have demonstrated a certain amount of insecticidal activity. A further important embodiment of this invention is a herbicidal method for killing and controlling the growth of unwanted vegetation which comprises applying to the locus where vegetative control is desired a herbicidally effective amount of a benzamide of this invention. Since the compounds are capable of killing and retarding the growth of a number of weeds and undesirable plants which commonly grow in areas used for growing desired crops such as cereal grains and the like, the method of the invention is particularly applicable to practice in such crops. For example, the benzamides are very effective in killing and retarding the growth of weeds such as barnyardgrass, lambsquarter, yellow foxtail, fall panicum, wild buckwheat, crabgrass, mustard, pigweed, cocklebur, velvetleaf, jimsonweed, morningglory, ragweed, zinnia and a number of other vegetative species which are known to comprise unwanted weed and grass vegetation. While the compounds are toxic to such undesired weeds and grasses, they do not adversely affect the growth of desirable crops such as the cereal grains, for example wheat, barley, oats and rice. The compounds can also be employed in combating undesired vegetative growth in crops such as corn, soybeans, peanuts, cotton and related crops. This herbicidal selectivity is an important benefit to be realized in the practice of the invention. The compounds can also be utilized in the control of unwanted vegetation in non-crop land, for instance in a chemical fallow land program, particularly in fallow wheatland and the like. The benzamide derivatives of the invention can also be employed in combination with any of several known' and commonly used he-5 zides. For example, a preferred method of herblcidal control according to this invention employs a benzamide of the invention used in conjunction with one or more other herbicides, ideally one cr more grass herbicides, for example a dinitroaniline herbicide such as trifluralin, butralin, dinitramine, nitralin, profluralin, propanil, prodiamine, oryzalin, isopropalin, ethalfluralin, benefin, fluchloralin, pendimethalin, and the like. Other herbicides to be employed in combination with the present benzamides include alachlor, ametryn, amitrole, atrazine, bentazon, bifenox, butachlor, butam, buthidazole, chloramben, chlorbromuron, cyanazine, dichloroprop, dinoseb, fenac, linuron, methazole, metolachlor, metribuzin, nitrofen, pebulata, prometon, prometryn, propachlor, simazine, terbutryn, trlallate, trichopyr, and the like. The use of the benzamide derivatives of tis invention in combination with other herbicides provides for an even broader range of weed control than generally can be realized with either the benzamides alone or the other herbicides such as trifluraiin alone. Such combinations are particularly preferred when practicing the method in cereal grains. The benzamide derivatives provided herein can also be applied in conjunction with agricultural chemicals which are utilized to control pests other than unwanted vegetative growth. They lend themselves well to combination with other agricultural chemicals such as insecticides, fungicides, nematicides, and other herbicides as may be desirable and convenient. In carrying out the method of this invention, a benzamide derivative of the invention can be applied post-emergence to soil or to the foilage of plants whose growth is to be controlled, or pre-emergence to the locus where the growth of unwanted vegetation is to be controlled. A preferred herbicidal method comprises application of the benzamide derivative pre-emergence. The compounds can be applied to the surface of soil in which the growth of unwanted weeds and grasses is to be eliminated or retarded, or if desired the compounds can be incorporated into the soil, for example by use of conventional tillage equipment such as the disc, harrow or the like. Soil incorporation or surface application may be employed when the benzamide derivatives are utilized in combination with other herbicides such as trifluralin or the like. Also, pre-emergence soil incorporation is preferred for compounds having less than desired activity when surface applied but not incorporated. The compounds of the invention are effective in selectively killing and controlling the growth of unwanted vegetation when applied at a herbicidallyeffective rate. In carrying out the method of the invention, and in the case of using the benzamides as pre-emergence herbicides, the active ingredient will be applied to the locus where weed control is desired at a rate of about 0.05 to about 15 pounds per acre, and more desirably at a rate of about 0.1 to about 5-pounds per acre. The most active compounds will generally be applied at about 0.1 to about 2 pounds per acre. It will of course be understood by those having skill in the herbicidal art that such rates of application may vary, depending upon several factors, including the type of locus being treated, the particular benzamide being utilized, the particular weeds or grasses to be killed or controlled, whether the method is being practiced in cropland or fallow land, whether or not the herbicide is being incorporated into the soil, whether or not the benzamide is being utilized in conjunction with other agricultural chemicals, for instance other herbicides such as pendimethalin or simazine. Moreover, while the above-suggested rates are preferred for pre-emergent weed control, the compounds can be applied post-emergence at rates of about 1 to about 20 pounds per acre, and more preferably at about 2 to about 10 pounds per acre. The herbicidal method provided by this invention can be carried out employing any of the benzamide herbicides defined herein, but as noted earlier, the method is preferably practiced employing an N-isoxazolyl or thiadiazoly1-2,6-diaLox'ybenzamide. An especially preferred method employs a benzamide selected from N-[3-(1,1-dimethylethL)-s-isoxazolyl]-2,6-dimethOxy- benzamide, N-[3-(1-ethyl-1-methylpropyl)-5-isoxazolyl]- 2, 6-dimethoxybenzamide, N-[5-(l-ethyl-l-methylpropyl)- 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl]-2,6-dimethoxybenzamide, N-[3-(1ethylcyclohexyl)-5-isoxazolyl]-2,6-dimethoxybenzamide and N-[5- (l-ethyl-1-methylpropyl)-3-isoxazolyl]-2,6- dimethoxybenzamide. Such compounds can be employed alone at rates of about, 0.1 to about 2 pounds per acre, or if desired they can be employed in combination with other herbicides such as trifluralin, ametryn, alachlor or the like. When utilized in combination with other herbicides, the exact rate of application for each of the component herbicides will be determined by several factors, including the specific weeds and grasses to be controlled, the particular herbicides used in combination, the weed population, and related factors. Generally, the benzamides will be employed in combination with other herbicides in a ratio of about one to about five parts by weight of benzamide and about one to about five parts by weight of another herbicide. A preferred combination will contain the component herbicides in a weight ratio of about one to one. Such combination will be applied at a rate which is effective to control the unwanted vegetation to the desired degree. The respective herbicides can be applied separately or as a single mixture, for example, a tank mix or the like. The benzamide derivatives of this invention ideally are suitably formulated for use as described above. Merbicidal formulations comprising a benzamide derivative of formula (I) or an agronomically-acceptable salt thereof, admixed with an agronomically-acceptable diluent, excipient or carrier therefor thus form a further important embodiment of the invention. Such compositions will typically contain from about 1 to about 95 percent by weight of active herbicide, and more generally about 10 to about 60 percent. The formulations may take the form of solid powders, dusts, granules; aqueous or non-aqueous sprays or drenches; concentrates, for example emulsifiable concentrates and the like; wettable powders, and any of the other forms commonly found in the agriculture art for herbicides. Agronomically acceptable carriers, diluents and excipients commonly utilized to form powders, dusts, granules and the like include talc, diatomaceous earth, silica, pyrophyllite, attapulgite clays and the like. It is often desirable to formulate a compound of the invention as a granule for convenient pre-emergence application to soil. Such formulation generally is prepared by dissolving the benzamide herbicide in a suitable solvent such as kerosene or aromatic naphtha, and applying the solution to a carrier such as montmorillonite clay granules or the like. Another procedure which can be employed comprises simply dispersing an active ingredient in a dough composed of a suitable carrier, for instance damp clay, and then drying and grinding the clay to provide the formulated granules at the desired particle size, The benzamide derivatives of formula (I) are also conveniently formulated as concentrated compositions which are diluted prior to application, for instance by the addition of water or other suitable diluent to make a dispersion, emulsion or the like. Typical concentrated formulations which are in the form of solids are wettable powders. Wettable powders comprise a finely-divided intimate mixture of an inert carrier or excipient, a benzamide derivative, and a suitable surfactant. Commonly utilized inert carriers which are agronomically acceptable include the diatomaceous earths, the various clays such as attapulgite clays or kaolin clays, or silica. Surfactants generally are present in about 0.5 to about 10 percent by weight of the wettable powder, with the benzamide derivative being present in about 10 to about 60 percent by weight. Any of several known surfactants can be employed in the wettable powder formulations, including any of the sulfonated lignins, the condensed naphthalenesulfonates, the alkylbenzenesulfonates, the alkyl sulfates, as well as the nonionic surfactants such as the ethylene oxide adducts of phenols. The wettable powders which are thus comprised generally are diluted with water or the like prior to application, so that the dispersion or final mixture contains from about 0.1 to about 5.0 percent by weight of the active benzamide herbicide. Such formulation is then applied as a spray or the like by conventional sprayers and other agricultural chemical applicators. Another commonly utilized formulation type to be employed with the benzamide derivative are the emulsifiable concentrates. Such formulations are comprised of a benzamide herbicide admixed with a carrier such as a water immiscible organic solvent and an emulsifying agent, in an amount from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of the emulsifiable concentrate. Water miscible cosolvents may be utilized in conjunction with the immiscible solvent to improve solubility of the benzamide. Commonly used solvents include toluene, xylene, chlorotoluene, benzene, methyl isobutyl.ketone, cyclohexanone, naphtha and the like. Aqueous suspensions employing water as a diluent also are contemplated. Emulsifiers which can be employed include the common surfactants and blends of surfactants, for example the alkyl and aryl sulfonates, ethoxylated alkyl phenols, ethoxylated alkyl ethers, the nonoxynols, oxysorbics, allinols, allinates and other nonionic and anionic surfactants. The surfactant may comprise from 0.5 to 10 percent by weight of the suspension. Such emulsifiable concentrates, like the wettable powder formulations, are diluted prior to application, for instance by the addition of the appropriate amount of water to provide a mixture having the desired concentration of active ingredient. As noted above, the benzamide derivatives of formula (I) are especially useful in combination with other herbicides in order to achieve the range and specificity of weed control desired. A typical method for employing a combination ov benzamide herbicide and another herbicide such as trifluralin, terbutryn, or the like, comprises mixing and diluting just prior to application the individual formulations of the respective individual herbicides. The mixing can be carried out, for example, in the tank of a conventional spray ing apparatus. A typical combination of a benzamide of this invention with a herbicide such as trifluralin can be prepared by tank mixing at the site of application a wettable powder formulation of benzamide with an emulsifiable concentrate of trifluralin. Such tankmixed combination will be applied to soil and if desired incorporated therein at a rate such that each active ingredient is present at about 0.5 to about 2 pounds per acre. Such combination provides excellent pre-emergence control of a wide variety of unwanted vegetative species.
