HERBICIDE IMPLANTS FOR PLANTS

摘要

The invention concerns plant-treatment agents based on systemic herbicides which are incorporated in solid shaped bodies and implanted in the plants to be treated. The invention also concerns methods of producing such agents and methods of treating individual plants with systemic herbicides incorporated in solid shaped bodies, the herbicides being introduced in this form into the plant's vascular system, thus enabling trees in particular, as well as other undesired plants, to be killed. Suitable herbicides are bialaphos, glufosinates and glyphosates as well as salts of these compounds, plus Nphosphonomethylglycine esters with 1-10 C-atoms in the ester alkyl group, e.g. the ethyl ester. Herbicide implants of this kind with a rod-shaped structure have been found to be particularly appropriate.
