Disclosed herein is a herbicide and methods for the control of a grass or a broadleaf weed in a crop. The herbicide comprises an effective amount glufosinate, or a salt thereof, and an effective amount of a metabolic inhibitor.

Glufosinate additive for improved weed control

Compositions and methods to reduce herbicide volatility and provide plant essential nutrients are provided. The composition comprises an effective amount of acidic herbicide, such as dicamba, and an effective amount of borate, where the effective amount of the borate reduces the volatility of the acidic herbicide and wherein the pH of the composition is greater than 5.

Compositions and methods to reduce dicamba volatility and provide plant essential nutrients

A fluazifop-resistant sorghum cultivar designated '21534_ACCase-R' and plants comprising a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO: 39 are disclosed herein. The present invention provides seeds, plants, and plant parts derived from sorghum cultivar '21534_ACCase-R' and those including SEQ ID NO: 39. Further, it provides methods for producing a sorghum plant by crossing &#x2018;21534_ACCase-R&#x2019; with itself or another sorghum variety. The invention also encompasses any sorghum seeds, plants, and plant parts produced by the methods disclosed herein, including those in which additional traits have been transferred into &#x2018;21534_ACCase-R&#x2019; through the introduction of a transgene or by breeding &#x2018;21534_ACCase-R&#x2019; with another sorghum cultivar.

Methods of increasing the tolerance of a plant to an herbicide and seeds for carrying out these methods are provided herein. The methods include treating the seeds of the plant with an insecticide prior to planting. The insecticide treatment makes the resulting plant more resistant to herbicides and in particular to post-emergence herbicides as compared to untreated seeds. The plants suitably do not have complete natural or complete engineered resistance to the herbicide. The treated seeds are then planted in a field and the herbicide is applied to the field. The resulting plants growing from the treated seeds have increased tolerance to the herbicide as compared to plants grown from seeds not treated with the insecticide.
