Thaxtomin A and 5 structurally similar compounds can be used in combination with 2, 4-D, dicamba, glyphosate, glufosinate, or mesotrione to control the germination and growth of weeds in cereal, turf grass, Timothy grass and pasture grass cultures with no phytotoxicity to these crops. As a natural, non-toxic compound, thaxtomin can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in both conventional and organic farming and gardening systems. 01/2 N 2 0 FIGURE 1
