<p>The present invention provides methods of improving yields in crops of useful plantsin need of yield improvement, such as maize, by applying a yield-improving amountof isoxadifen or an ester thereof to the plants, parts of plants, plant seeds orthe area under cultivation. Also provided are methods of improving yields incrops of useful plants in need of yield improvement by applying a herbicidally effectiveamount of one or more herbicides and/or insecticides and yield-improving amountof isoxadifen or an ester thereof to the plants, parts of plants, plant seeds orthe area under cultivation. Suitable herbicides can include, for example, rimsulfuron,nicosulfuron, foramsulfuron, diflufenzopyr, mesotrione or dicamba. One exemplarycombination of a yield-improving application of isoxadifen with more herbicideis a yield-improving application of isoxadifen combined with diflufenzopyrand dicamba.</p> |
