wherein the ratio by weight of the components of the formulae
I:II:III or IV is 1:(1 to 4):(0.5 to 6).
The compound of the formula I in which R -- hydrogen and
X = -OH has also been disclosed under the name Phosphinotricin.
The compound of the formula I in which R = NH4 and X --
~OH (= compound Ia, the ammonia salt of Phosphinotricin) is particu-
larly preferred. It is described, for example, in German
Offenlegungsschrift 2,717,440 and can be employed both as the
racemate and as the optically active L-form. Compounds of the
formula I in which X = -NH-CH(CH3)-CONH-CH(CH3)-COOH, such as are
described, for example, in German Offenlegungsschrift 2~848,224,
are also preferred.
Compounds of the formula II in which X denotes either
chlori.ne (= compound :[Ia, common name: 2,4-D) or methyl (= compound
I-Cb, common name: MCP~) are already known as growth regulators.
~oth are clescrihed, for example, in the "Pesticide Manual", edited
by C.~. Worthing (1979), page 145 (IIa) and page 326 (IIb). They
are preferably used in the form of alkali metal (sodium or potassium)
or magnesium or amine salts, and in some cases also as esters (Y =
(Cl-C~)-alkyl) r for example as isopropyl or isobutyl esters.
The compounds of the formula III (common name: diuron)
and of the formula IV (common name: simazine) are


3S33
4 ~
already known as her~;cides. Both are described, for
example~ in th~ Pest;cide Manua~l, edited by ~.R~ Worthing
~1~79), page ~24 ~IIX) and page 474 tIY).
- At dosages of, preferablr~ O.S to ~5 kg~hectare
of acti ~ compound, compounds of the formula I combat
annual and perennial ~eeds belonging to various bo~anical
- families, and the after-effects canf in so~e cases~ be
considerable in the case of perennial specie~. In the
case of perenniaL ~ramineae~ hohe~er~ the effect is no.
al~3ys satisfactory in some casesn Although a relatively
rapid~ short~term burning-off effect is achieved on the
green parts of the plants ~stalks and leaves)f a p,olonged
effect of longer duration ;s frequently no~ ach;eved~
Compounds of the formula II make it possible to
comoat numerous broad-leaved species of ueeds~ specific-
ally bot~ a~nual and perennial species~ They are ~re~
~uently ernployed in cereai crops at dosages of less than
1 kg/hectare of active compoundu Another main area of

use is in applicat;on ;n perennial crops, above all tree-
like or shrub~like crops, such 3S vines~ fru;~ trees or

citrus trees and var;ous tropical plantation crops~ such
as rubber~ coffee, cocoa and the lil;e, or in bush-like
crops, such as sugar cane or bananas. The dosayes here,
~hen used alone, are in most cases more than 1 kg/hectare,
;n come cases more than 2 kg~hectare~ of active co~po~nd.
In these crops, o~;ng to the lo~Jer volatility and the
lower risk of possible damage to ~he crop plants caused
there~y, it is preferab~e to use the salts o~ the ccmpour~ds
of the fornula II, and ~he corresponding esters only to a


5 _


small extent. The said active compounds of the formula II are ab-
sorbed via the leaf and are transported within the plant both to-
wards the roots and towards the tips of the shoots.
The compounds of the formulae III and IV are also employed
in the permanent plantations mentioned above, specifically in a wide
range of dosage which can be betueen 0.5 and 5 kg/hectare of active
compound, depending on the crop. Although they have a certain action
on the weed flora present, they do not prevent, above all through
their long-term action in the soil, the new emergence of weeds from
seeds, while they have only a slight effect on re-sprouting from sur-
viving parts of plants below ground (roots, tubers and rhi~omes).
It has also been disclosed that combinations of compounds
of the formula I with compounds of the formulae III or IV, and also,
on the other hand, combinations of compo~mds of the formula I with
compounds of the formula II, exhibit a synergistic herbicidal action
(cf., for example, German Offenlegungsschriften 2,839,087 and
2,856,260).
It has now been fo~md that combinations of the known mix-
ture3 of compounds oE the formulae I and II with compounds of the
2() -formulae :[II or IV, as well as comb:inations of compo~olds o:E the
fOrlllUla I [ W:itll the known mixtures o:E compounds of the formulae I
and III or I and IV exhibit a surprising additional synergistic
herbicidal action.
This surprising additional synergism of triple

S3~


combinations according to the invention can also be confirmed, for
example, by using the calculation Eormulae of S.R. Colby which are
customary in connection with the discovery of synergism, by compar
ing the action found experimentally (in % of damage) o:E a triple
combination with the calculable total action of the individual
effects of the components. If the latter is less than the former,
synergism is indicated.
The ratios by weight of the components T~ III or IV
in the combinations according to the invention can vary within wide
limits, but are within the range comprising 1:(1 to 4):(0.5 to 6),
preferably within the range comprising 1:(1.5 to 2.5):(1 to 4).
The triplecombinations according to the invention can
be used particularly advantageously to combat in a lasting manner
an existing broad spectrum of weeds composed of annual and perennial
species, and at the same time to keep the treated areas free for a
prolonged period from weeds which emerge later (long-term prolonged
effect). Depending on the dosage and on the proportion of the
individual components, they can be employed in tree-like shrub-like
c.rops oE the temperate and tropical zones, for example in vines,
~0 citrus Eruit, apples, pears, plums, cherries, soft fruit shrubs,
rubber, oil palms, coffee or cocoa; in addition they can also be
used in bush like crops, such as bananas or sugar cane.
The combinations according to the invention can be
applied either as tank mixtures in which the individually formulated
active compound components are only mixed

uith one another immediately before application, or as
finished mixtures. As finished mixtures, they can be
formulate~ or example~ in the forrn o~ eraulsifi~ble con-
centrates or pre~erably, for exarnple~ in the form of ~et-

S table po~ders~ and they then contain, if appropriate, thecust~rnary ~ormul;Jtion auxiliaries~ such asf for example,
~etting agents, adhesives, ~mulsifiers~ diso~rsing agents,
sol;d incrt substances~ ~rinding auxiliaries and solvents.
The concentrations of the active cornpound combin~
acions according to t~e invention in the forrnulat-ions to
be used car vary. In general, they are 2 to 95% by ~e;ght,
pre~era~ly S to 80X by weight.
The inv~ntiorl also relates~ therefore, to herbi
cidal agents containing 7 ~0 ~5-~ by weight, preferably
5 to ~OX by ~eight~ of an active compound combination
colnposed of cornpounds of the iorrnulae I + II ~ I or IV
ancl also custornary ~ormulation auxiliaries~
In the we~table po~ders, the tot.~l concentration
of ~ctive compound tI ~ III or I~ aries ~I;thirl the
2~ ran~ from about 10 to 8UX by h~eight; the rer,1air,der up
~o 100% by w~i~ht is cornposed of customary for~nulation
additi~es.
For application~ the active compound concentrates
accordil-g to the ir,venlion aref ;f appropriate~ diluted
2~ in a customary Manner, for e~mple ~ith ~ater in the case
o~ wcttal)le powders and emulsion concentrates. The re-
~quired application rate of the agents according to the
in~ent;on also varies ~J;th the external conditions~ s(ch

_~ Formulation ex~æ~
S ~e~able powders con~aining triple combinations,
accor~ing to the ;nvention~ of active compounds are pre-
ferably prepared by vigorously m;xing, with the exclusion
of r,~oisture, advantageously in a hammer mill~ the active
compounds which are sparingly soluble in uater, such as,
~0 for example, the compound III (- diuron) in a finely
ground form and already formulated as a wettable po~der,

example~ the compound la t- a~monium Phosphino~ricin~ and
the sodium salt or dimethylamine sa~t of the compound IIb
t- MCPA) or IIa t-~ 2,4 D) and ~ith the necessary ~Jettin~
agents and dispersing 2gents~ As a result of this the
water-solub~e active compounds are very vigorously
homogenized with the active compounds ~hich are sparingly
solubLe ;n water and uith thesurface-active compounds, so
that it is possible to achieve optimum wettability and
suspendabil;ty in the resulting ~ettable po~ders.
In order to increase the free-flol~ing properties
of the wettable powders, the latter can ad~antageously
contain~ as carriers, for example, fine synthetic silica,
kieselgUhr clay or bentonite powder. Examples of suitable
dispersing agents are soclium dinaphthylm~thanedisulfonate,
lignin sulfonates, condensatiorl proclucts of alkylnapthal-
enesulfonic acids wi~h cresols, sodium sulfite ancl form-
aldehyde~ oleoyl ~methylcaurides, polyvinyl alcohols or

found that the com~ound Ia at 0.4 kgthectare of active
compound s~lfficed co~ple~ely, as such,.to ach;eve a 100X
~ction on th` weed plants prescnt. However~ after 10
weeks nunerous Paspalum pLants had re-emer~ed from seeds

~reated with compound III the plants which had re~emeryed
fror,l seeds had been destroyed~ whereas the weed plants
a(reao'y present ~ere onLy slightly damaged. Iloslever, the
plots which i1ad been treated with cornbinations according
tQ the ;nvention llere sinlilarly free from old plants, ie.
pLants present at the t;me of application, and also from
freshly yerminated plants. In tlle case ~f Pueraria and
Mikania, all the treatments with the cornpounds Ia or Ila

but the after-effect 10 weeks after the treatment was
complctcly unsatisfactory. The kno~n combinations ~lere
also no longer adequ%tely effective at this point in tirne~
Us ln~ thc triple combinations according to ~he inven~
~0 tion, however, it was founcl that, above all, the after
effect was particularly good, an effect which uould not
have been expected to be so marked and ~hich rDust there-
fore be designated as synergistic~ A good after-effect
could admittedly also be achieved using the known combi~

this case distinct damage. caused by groslth substances
(leaf ts~tist;ng~ s~as found on young trees which had comc
into c.ontact ~tith the spray liquor on the bark or on parts
of the palm -frond~ On the other hand, in the case of the

combination according to the invention, ;n ~hich the pro-
portion of the substance IIa had been reduced markedly,
this lea~ da~lage could no longer be observed. The dosage
of the combination could even be reduced by one quarter in
S order to reduce the risk o~ leaf damage still further~
~ithout the action against ~eeds, in particular the after~
e~fect 10 ~leeks after treatn~ent~ being reduced to a con-
siderable extent tcf. Table IV~ las~ line). Triple com
b;nations according to the invention thus make it possible
10 to ensure that ~he use of the herbicide becomes more
reliable arld tha~ a markedly increased and thus su~icicntly
lon~ after~effect is achieved at the same ~ime; the result
o~ this under practical conditions is that the time of ~he
next treatment w;th herbic;de can be postpon~d; this also
~ects a saving in the costs of labor and productSr
aMongst other things. The resul~ is shown in summary
