Among the many herbicidal compounds commercially available, the N,N-dialkyl thiolcarbamate herbicides alone or mixed with other herbicides such as triazines have reached a relatively high degree of commercial success. These herbicides are immediately toxic to a large number of weed pests at different concentrations varying with the resistance of the weeds mentioned. Some examples of these compounds are described and claimed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,913,327, 3,037,853, 3,175,897, 3,185,720 and 3,198,786. It has been found in practice that the use of the thiolcarbamates as a herbicide in corn fields sometimes causes serious injury to the corn plants. When used in the recommended amounts in the soil to control many broadleaf weeds and grasses, serious malformation and stunting of the corn plants results. This abnormal growth in the corn plants results in loss of crop yield.
