US Patent:

7855326, Dec 21, 2010
Filed:

Jun 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/758653
Inventors:

Paul C. C. Feng - Wildwood MO, US
Ronald J. Brinker - Ellisville MO, US
Assignee:

Monsanto Technology LLC - St. Louis MO
International Classification:

A01H 5/00
A01N 37/10
US Classification:

800300, 504129, 504144
Abstract:

The invention provides methods for weed control with dicamba and related herbicides.
