Abstract

The invention relates to herbicidal compositions containing a glyphosate type herbicide and a phenoxybenzoic type herbicide, preferably acifluorfen-sodium, the ratio by weight of phenoxybenzoic type herbicide:glyphosate type herbicide ranging between about 1:12 and about 1:80. The compositions are relatively fast-acting and resistant to being washed out during rainfall occurring shortly after application. The invention also relates to a method of weed control employing the compositions.
