<p>A class of herbicidal unsaturated esters of alpha -[4-(3',5'-dihalogeno-pyridyl-2'-oxy)-phenoxy]-propionic and -thiolpropionic acid of the formula <IMAGE> wherein Hal is chlorine or bromine, X is oxygen or sulfur, and R is an unsubstituted or halogenated aliphatic or alicyclic radical which may contain nitrogen, and which possesses at least one double and/or triple bond, with the proviso that if X is oxygen, R is not an unsubstituted alkenyl radical. These new esters are useful for selective post-emergent control of grassy weeds in cultivated plants such as wheat, barley, rice and soybean.</p> |
