No 61/255 685 fled on 28 Oct. 2008, This invention concerns a synergistic herbicidal composition coa- taining (a) fuoroxypyrand (bat easton herbicide selected from the group consisting of cybalofop, metamifop oF pro foxydim for controlling weeds in crops, paricularly in rice, but also otter monocot ropssuctas com, wheat, barley, at, rye, sorghum tort pastures, grasslands, rangelands fallow~ fand and indsteial vegetation management (IVM). These ‘compositions provide improved postemerzence herbicidal weed control BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION “The protetion of eros from weeds and other vegetation “which inhibit crop growth and adversely impact crop quality and yield isa constantly recurring problem in agriculture. To help combat this problem, searchers in the feld of syaetic chemistry bave produced an extensive variety of chemicals and chemical formulations effective inthe contro of such ‘unwanted growth. Chemical herbicides of many types have been disclosed in the literature and a large number are in ‘commercial use. Tn some cases, herbicidal active ingredients have been shown to be more eflctvein combination than when applied individually and this is referred to as “synergism” As described in the Herbicide Handbook of the Weed Science Society of America, Eighth Eution, 2002, p. 462 *'synee- ism’ [is] an interecton of two or more factors such thatthe cffect when combined is greater than the predicted effect hased onthe response to each factor appiod separately” The present invention is based on the discavery that fuoeoxypy, ‘ylalofop, metamifop and profoxydim,aleady known indi- Vidually for their herbicidal efficacy, display a synergistic effet when applied in combination. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION ‘The present invention concems a synersstic herbicidal nnixtue comprising an herbicidal effective amount of (a) fiuooxypye and (b) an scp CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitor herbicide. ACCase inhibitor herbicides include ‘compounds from the classes of aryloxyphenoxyprpionic cis and derivatives and eyelohexanediones. Parculaly usefil ACCas inbiitor herbicides inlude, but ae notin ited to, eyalofop, metamifop and poforyim. The compo siionsmay also continan agriculturally aeceptble avant andlor cari. “The preset invention also concerns herbicidal composi tions forand matnasofeontlingthegrowthof undesinble vegetation, particularly ince, but lo other monocot cops such cor whet bryos, ye, sorghum, tr, pasts, grasslands, rangelands, fllowland and IVM, and the use oF these synergistic compositions “The species species of ACCase inhibitors ik cyalotop suetamifop and profoxydin, i, the weed species which the respective compounds cont arehroad and highly comple mentary with hat of fuooxypye. For example, ites been surprisingly found that mixture of eal and ducroxy- yt exhibits @ synergistic action in the contol of bam- 2 yardgrass (Echinochloa crus-eaill; ECHCG), tighthead ‘sprangletop (Leprochloa panicoides (L.); LEFPA), Chinese sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis (L.); LERCH), broadleat sgnalgrass (Brachiaria playphylla (GRISEB,) NASH BRAPP), winklegrass (schaemum rugosum SALISB. ISCRU), and giant foxtil (Setaria faberi; SETA) at applic cation rte equal to of lower than the rates ofthe individual compounds. Similarly, thas been surprisingly found that 2 nixture of metamifop and fluoroxypyr exhibits a synergistic action in the contol of bamyandgrass (Echinochloa erase «gall; HCG), Chinese sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis (L); LEFCH), and broadleaf signalgrass (Brachiaria play. lpia (GRISEB,) NASH; BRAPP) a application rates equal 'o of lower than the rates of the individual compounds, In tuditon, it has been surprisingly found that a mixture of profoxydim and fluoroxypyr exhibits a synergistic action in the control of. amyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-gall ECHCG) and Chinese sprangletop (Leptochloa chinensis (L); LEECH) a application rates equal to or lower than the rates ofthe individual compounds.
