The invention relates to a herbicidal agent containing as active ingredient a Aryloxybenzoesaeureimid compound of the general formula (I). A herbicidally active compound is, for example, methyl 5- (2-chloro-4- (trifluoromethyl) phenoxy) -2-nitro-N- (2-chloroethyl) benzimidate, which is prepared by reacting 5- (2-chloro-4- (2-chloro-4-) trifluoromethyl) phenoxy) -2-nitro-N- (2-chloroethyl) benzamide with first PCl5 and then sodium methylate. The agent acts as a selective herbicide, especially in soybean, cereal, cotton and rice crops. |
