Jul 12, 1978
Appl. No.:
5/923852
Inventors:
Merrill Wilcox - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A01N 920
US Classification:
71121
Abstract:
N-benzyl-2,6-dinitro-3-amino-4-trifluoromethylanilines of the formula ##STR1## in which R is lower alkyl, Z is amino, lower alkylamino or di lower alkylamino, Each of Q. sub. 1 and Q. sub. 2 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or methoxy, and Q. sub. 3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or methoxy, Are useful as herbicides and plant growth regulating agents, in particular as agents for controlling the growth of tobacco suckers.

Assignee:
Ciba-Geigy Corporation - Ardsley NY
International Classification:
A01N 920
US Classification:
71121
Abstract:
N-(ortho-substituted benzyl)-dinitro-trifluoromethyl-anilines of the formula ##STR1## in which R is hydrogen, lower alkyl or allyl, One of X and Y is nitro and the other is trifluoromethyl, Q. sub. 1 is halogen, lower alkyl or methoxy, and Q. sub. 2 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or methoxy, Are useful as herbicides and plant growth regulating agents, in particular as agents for controlling the growth of tobacco suckers. Particularly useful are those compounds in which R is ethyl, X is nitro, Y is trifluoromethyl, Q. sub. 1 is fluorine or chlorine, and Q. sub. 2 is hydrogen, methyl, fluorine or chlorine in the 6-position.

Inventors:
Merrill Wilcox - Gainesville FL
International Classification:
A01N 920
US Classification:
71121
Abstract:

Filed:
Oct 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/171887

A01N 4340
A01N 4342
A01N 4350
A01N 4366
A01N 4370
US Classification:
504167
Abstract:
The harvesting of fruit, in particular olives and citrus fruit, is aided by inducing abscission by applying to fruit-bearing parts of the plant certain imidazolinone or sulfonylurea compounds. The compounds are applied in aqueous solution or in extremely low concentration in amounts ranging from 15 to 200 ppm, preferably from 20 to 70 ppm, by spraying to the point of incipient run-off.
