This application discloses the compound 3-(2-chloropyridin-4-yl)-5-methyl-1-phenyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-one. This compound is useful in increasing the size of grapes, as a cotton defoliant, and as a herbicide.

1,3,5-Triazine-2-one derivatives and their use as plant growth regulators

New herbicidal chemical compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is trifluoromethyl; Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro and cyano and R is selected from the group consisting of nitro, alkylthio, halogen and cyano; herbicidal compositions thereof and methods of controlling weeds therewith. The compound, 3-tetrahydrofuryl 2-nitro-5-(2-chloro-4-trifluoromethylphenoxy) benzoate, is particularly useful for the control of the weed, velvetleaf, and safe to corn and soybean. Velvetleaf is found in corn and soybean crops and its presence will lower the yield of these crops.

Heterocyclic esters of phenoxybenzoic acids useful as herbicides

This invention discloses novel herbicidal chemical compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is halogen or trifluoromethyl; Y is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen, nitro and cyano; R is selected from the group consisting of nitro, alkylthio, halogen and cyano; Z is selected from the group consisting of alkyl, halogen and nitro; and n is an integer from 0 to 4.

Phthalimides of phenoxybenzoic acids

This invention relates to compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is halogen or trifluoromethyl; hydrogen, halogen or cyano; Z is halogen, cyano or nitro; R is alkyl; m is an integer from 0 to 6; and n is an integer from 3 to 5.

N-Acylated lactams and their herbicidal compositions and method of use

This invention discloses chemical compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X and Z are each independently selected from the group consisting of halogen, haloalkyl, nitro, cyano, alkyl, alkoxy and alkylthio; m and n are each independently integers of from 0 to 4; Y is selected from the group consisting of oxygen, sulfur, methylene, sulfonyl and sulfinyl; and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and alkoxy. The compounds of the above description are useful as herbicides.
