An amide of w - (2,4-disubstituted phenoxy) aliphatic carboxylic acid and w-aminoaliphatic carboxylic acid represented by the general formula (1).n wherein:n X is Cl or CF 3 Y is Cl or CH 3 Z is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms R 6 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbon radical R 1 is hydrogen n or an eventually substituted hydrocarbon radical or forms with R 6 a CH 2 -CH 2 -CH 2 - group n is 0,1 or 2 R 2 is an alkoxy or amino group n The amide is used for controlling weeds by applying a herbicidally sufficient amount of the amide to the seeds, stalks, leaves or roots of plants to be controlled or to the locus where the plants are growing or the growth of said plants is anticipated. |
