Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a mutated protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) which is resistant or tolerant to a PPO-inhibiting herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. The invention further refers to plants comprising mutated PPO enzymes having a substitution at a position corresponding to position Leu397 of SEQ ID NO:2 and an amino acid substitution at a position corresponding to position Phe420 of SEQ ID NO:2, and methods of obtaining such plants.
Abstract:
In a method for treating soil at a work site, a first pressure application tool is connected to a base unit and moved relative thereto along a first area of the work site adjacent a structure and operated to inject soil treatment down into the soil along the first area of the work site. A second pressure application tool is interchanged with the first pressure application tool and moved relative to the base unit along a second area of the work site adjacent the structure and different from the first area of the work site. The second pressure application tool is operated to apply soil treatment to the soil along the second area of the work site.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising specific inhibitors of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO inhibitors) selected from flumioxazin and sulfentrazone. The invention also relates to methods and uses for controlling undesirable vegetation, in particular in crops.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for providing substituted phenyl ketones. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of substituted phenoxyphenyl ketones obtained by the inventive process for the preparation of triazoles.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of the compounds II from the respective oxo compounds. Furthermore, he invention relates to a process for the preparation of triazole compounds from oxiranes II.
Abstract:
Apparatus (10) or injecting soil treatment into soil includes a handle (17) and a manifold head (16) carried by the handle (17) for delivering soil treatment into soil. The manifold head (16) has a first set of high pressure nozzles (38) each configured to deliver a first volume of soil treatment into the soil at an operating pressure over an injection period and a second set of high pressure nozzles (102) each configured to deliver a second volume of soil treatment into the soil at the operating pressure over the injection period. The second volume of soil treatment is greater than the first volume of soil treatment.
Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method for controlling undesired vegetation at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type or a mutated protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO) which is resistant or tolerant to a PPO-inhibiting herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide. The invention further refers to plants comprising wild-type or mutated PPO enzymes, and methods of obtaining such plants.
Abstract:
The invention refers to plants comprising wild-type or mutated Alopecurus PPO enzymes, and methods of obtaining such plants. The present invention further refers to a method for controlling weeds at a plant cultivation site, the method comprising the steps of providing, at said site, a plant that comprises at least one nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a wild-type or a mutated Alopecurus PPO enzyme which is resistant or tolerant to a PPO-inhibiting herbicide by applying to said site an effective amount of said herbicide.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to synergistic fungicidal and insecticidal mixtures, comprising at least a Quillay extract and an Acacia negra extract as defined in the description, and to compositions comprising these mixtures.
