ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to certain oxadiazolidines, processes for their preparation, their N-oxides, agriculturally suitable salts and compositions, and methods of their use for controlling undesirable vegetation. This invention also relates to mixtures of herbicides that have a synergistic effect on weeds or have a safening effect on crops while retaining or increasing weed control.
The control of undesired vegetation is extremely important in achieving high crop efficiency. Achievement of selective control of the growth of weeds especially in such useful crops as rice, soybean, sugar beet, corn (maize), potato, wheat, barley, tomato and plantation crops, among others, is very desirable. Unchecked weed growth in such useful crops can cause significant reduction in productivity and thereby result in increased costs to the consumer. The control of undesired vegetation in noncrop areas is also important. Many products are commercially available for these purposes, but the need continues for new compounds which are more effective, less costly, less toxic, environmentally safer or have different modes of action.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention is directed to compounds and processes to prepare compounds of Formula 1 including all geometric and stereoisomers, N-oxides, and agriculturally suitable salts thereof, agricultural compositions containing them and their use for controlling undesirable vegetation:
