Compositions comprise an urea herbicide and a N-(benzenesulfonyl) carbamate of the formula ##STR1## in which X and Y are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl;

N-(benzenesulfonyl) carbamates herbicidal antidotes

N-(Benzenesulfonyl) carbamates herbicidal antidotes

Halogenated phenols of the formula ##STR1## wherein each of X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 is halogen and R is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, carbalkoxy, carboxy, formyl, hydroxymethyl, trifluoromethyl, cyano and hydroxyiminomethyl, are useful as antidotes to protect crops from injury due to thiocarbamate herbicides.

Certain halogenated phenols as antidotes for thiocarbamate herbicides

Crops are protected against injury from triazine herbicides by application of certain N-benzenesulfonyl carbamates as herbicide antidotes. The N-benzenesulfonyl carbamates have the general structural formula ##STR1## wherein each of X.sub.1, X.sub.2, X.sub.3, X.sub.4, and X.sub.5 is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, halogen and lower alkyl, with the proviso that when X.sub.3 is lower alkyl, X.sub.1 and X.sub.5 are not both hydrogen; and R is selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl and alkyl and alkenyl radicals substituted with up to five halo atoms.
