The present invention also provides a method of combating weeds which comprises applying to the weeds 3 or to a habitat thereof, a compound of the present invention alone or in the form of a composition containing as active ingredient; a compound of the present invention in admixture ; 20 with a diluent or carrier.
The present invention further provides crops protecte~
from damage by weeds by being~grown in areas in which immediately prior to and/or during the time~of the growing - ~ ~ a compound of the present invention was applied alone or in admixture with a diluent or carrier.
. It will be seen that the usual methods of providing a harvested crop may be improved by the present invention.
The herbicidal activity of the compounds of this invention is illustrated by the following biotest Example.
~ In this Example, the compounds according to the - present invention are each identified by the number ~given in brackets) of the corresponding preparative Example~
which will be found later in this specification.

Examp'le A
Pre-emergence test Solvent: 5 parts by weight of acetone EmulsifierO 1 part by weigh't of alkylaryl polyglycol ether To produce a suitable preparation of acti~e compound, 1 part by weight of active compound was mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of emulsifier was added and the concentrate was diluted with water to the desired concentration.
Seeds of the test plant:s were sown in normal soil and, after 24 hours, watered with the preparation of the ; 15 active compoundO It was expedient to keep constant the ; amount of water per unit area. m e concentration of the active compound in the preparation was of no importance, '~
only the amount of active compound applied per unit area being decisive. After three weeks, the degree of damage to the plants was determined in % damage in comparison to the deveiopment of the untreated controlO 'rhe figures denoted:
0% = no action (like untreated control) 100% = total destruction In this test~ the active compound (1) showed a better ;
selective activity than the substance (A) known from the ;-prior art.
