Safening crops from the phytotoxic effects of herbicidally active N-phosphonomethyl-glycines

摘要

The present invention is directed to a method of protecting a plant from phytotoxic injury from application to a locus thereof of a herbicidally effective amount of at least one N-phosphonomethyl-glycine. The method comprises applying to the locus of the plant the herbicidally effective amount of the N-phosphonomethyl-glycine and prior thereto, together therewith, or subsequent thereto, applying to the locus a safening amount of at least one salt. The present invention is also directed to herbicidal compositions containing such N-phosphonomethyl-glycine and salt(s).
