A method for controlling weeds preferably in the crops of useful plants by using a 5-imidazolecarboxylic acid derivative; herbicidal compositions containing the same; novel 5-imidazolecarboxylic acid derivatives.

Method for controlling weeds

Novel herbicidal 1,5-substituted 1H-imidazole derivatives, compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients, and a method for controlling weeds, preferably selectively in crops of useful plants. Further the invention also relates to a process for making these novel compounds.

1,5-substituted 1H-imidazoles

Novel herbicidal tricyclic 1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives, compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients, and a method for controlling weeds, preferably selectively in crops of useful plants.

Tricyclic 1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives as herbicides

Imidazole derivatives of formula I ##STR1## and the stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, and salts thereof, have useful herbicidal properties. The substituents R.sup.1, L and X have the meanings defined herein.

Imidazole derivatives

Herbicidal 1,5-substituted 1H-imidazoles

Novel herbicidal 1-methyl-1H-imidazole -5-carboxylic acid derivatives, compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients, and a method for controlling weeds, preferably selectively in crops of useful plants. Further the invention also relates to a process for making these novel compounds.

1-methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives and their use as

Tricyclic 1h-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives and use thereof as

Novel herbicidal 1-cyclyl or polycyclyl substituted 1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives, compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients, and a method for controlling weeds, preferably selectively in crops of useful plants. Processes for making these novel compounds.

Herbicidal polycyclyl substituted 1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acids

Novel herbicidal 1-heterocyclyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives, compositions containing these compounds as active ingredients, and a method for controlling weeds, preferably selectively in crops of useful plants. Further the invention also relates to a process for making these novel compounds.

Herbicidal 1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives

A method for controlling weeds preferably in the crops of useful plants by using a 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivative; herbicidal compositions containing the same; 1-methyl-1H-imidazole-5-carboxylic acid derivatives.
