New phenoxybenzoates, process for preparing these compounds, compositions containing them and method of use.

摘要

This invention relates to new phenoxybenzoates having high pre- and post- emergence herbicidal activity against indicator weeds, and are particularly effective against broadleaf weeds, such as morning glory. In addition to such effective herbicidal activity, they exhibit an unusual selectivity against important agromonic crops, such as cotton, rice, soybean, corn, wheat and sorghum.
