This invention embodies compositions comprising herbicidally effective compounds corresponding to the formula ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently methyl or ethyl,

Antidoting herbicidal 3-isoxazolidinone compounds

A method of selectively controlling undesirable vegetation in corn by applying an herbicidally effective amount of 2-(2'-nitro-4'-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)- 1,3-cyclohexanedione to the locus of such vegetation.

Selective corn herbicide

4-substituted pyridyl-3-carbinols of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, or an acyl, alkyl or carbamyl group exhibit desirable preemergent and postemergent herbicidal activity. Also disclosed are herbicidal compositions comprising such compounds and methods of controlling undesirable vegetation employing such compounds. The compounds wherein AR is hydroxyl serve as useful intermediates for the production of the alpha-benzyl substituted compounds as well as exhibiting herbicidal activity.

4-substituted pyridyl-3-carbinol compositions and a co-herbicide

A method of selectively controlling undesirable vegetation in corn by applying an herbicidally effective amount of 2-(2'-nitro-4'-methylsulfonylbenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione to the locus of such vegetation.

Selective 1,3-cyclohexanedione corn herbicide
