Herbicide compositions containing a nitrile derivative as antidote

The invention relates to a herbicide composition comprising as herbicidally active ingredient an urea derivative and/or a thiolcargamate derivative and/or a chloroacetanilide derivative together with a nitrile derivative of the general formula (I), (I) wherein R1 and R2 which are the same or different, stand for hydroger, halogen or a methyl, ethyl, allyl, vinyl, phenyl or benzyl group; or R1 and R2 together may stand for a benzylidene group; and R3 means chlorine or a methyl, phenyl, chlorophenyl, alkoxyphenyl, chlorophenylamino, anilino, anilinomethylene, N-alkylanilinomethylene, N,N-dialkylanilinomethylene, alkoxyanilinomethylene, benzylaminomethylene, cyclohexylaminomethylene, N-alkyl-cyclohexylaminomethylene, hexamethyleniminomethylene, phthalimidomethylene, nitrophthalimidomethylene, morpholinomethylene, piperidinomethylene, C1-3alkylaminomethylene, allylaminomethylene or di(C1-3alkyl)aminorethylene group and/or together with a cyanopyridine and/or with a benzonitrile derivative optionally mono- or polysubstituted by halogen(s) or C1-3 alkoxy group(s) as antidote(s) in a mass ratio from 40:1 to 1:1 of the herbicidally active ingredient to the antidote nitrile derivative.
