are described. The method is particularly effective at low use rates as an aid for harvesting cotton. Especially effective is that compound wherein X is fluoro, Y is chloro, R is methyl, R
1
is difluoromethyl, R
2
is hydrogen, R
3
is chloro, R
4
is hydrogen, and R
5
is ethyl; the compound of which is carfentrazone ethyl, and the adjuvant is a crop oil concentrate.
