A method for obtaining satisfactory weed control including control of blackgrass in cereal crops comprising preemergent application of a mixture of terbutryne and trifluralin having a ratio of 1:2 to 2.5:1 and composition for same, particularly liquid concentrate compositions which do not give crystalline precipitation within 24 hours of emulsification, comprising a) 7.5 to 18% terbutryne, b) 15 to 25% trifluralin, c) 28 to 42% non phytoxic alicyclic ketone, d) 5 to 15% emulsifier, and e) stabilizing cosolvent selected from 1) 1 to 3% mesityl oxide, or 2) 8 to 15% lower alkyl esters of C-18 unsaturated fatty acids, or 3) a combination of 10 to 20% isophorone and 1 to 3% di-lower alkyl formamide. |
