         7 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein the composition provides synergistic control of one or more weeds. 
     
     
         8 . The composition according to  claim 7 , wherein the one or more weeds is a broadleaf weed. 
     
     
         9 . The composition according to  claim 7 , wherein the one or more weeds is selected from the group consisting of mustard,  Poa annua , green foxtail, crabgrass, blackjack, pigweed, khaki weed, crab-finger grass, large thornapple, purslane, dwarf marigold, field bindweed, anoda weed,  Rottboelia exaltata, Ipomeoea purpurea, Eleusine indica, Amaranthus spinosus, Commelina benghalensis, Digitaria ciliaris, Digitaria sanguinalis, Cyperus esculentus, Cyperus rotundus, Euphorbia heterophylla , and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         10 - 22 . (canceled) 
     
     
         23 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the weed is of the genera  Amaranthus, Digitaria, Cyperus  or  Euphorbia.    
     
     
         24 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein propisochlor is present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.001 to 1000 parts by weight per part by weight of amicarbazone. 
     
     
         25 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein propisochlor is present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.05 to 100 parts by weight per part by weight of amicarbazone. 
     
     
         26 . The composition according to  claim 1 , wherein propisochlor is present in the composition in an amount ranging from 0.1 to 10 parts by weight per part by weight of amicarbazone. 
     
     
         27 . A method for selective control of weeds, comprising contacting a weed with a composition of  claim 1 . 
     
     
         28 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the weed is present within a crop. 
     
     
         29 . The method according to  claim 28 , wherein the crop is selected from the group consisting of cereals, rice, maize, sorghum, sugar cane, cotton, canola, grass, turf grass, barley, potato, sweet potato, sunflower, rye, oats, wheat, corn, soybean, sugar beet, tobacco, safflower, tomato, alfalfa, pineapple and cassava. 
     
     
         30 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the weed is a broadleaf weed. 
     
     
         31 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the weed is of the genera  Amaranthus, Digiuaria, Cyperus  or  Euphorbia.    
     
     
         32 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the weed is selected from the group consisting of mustard,  Poa annua , green foxtail, crabgrass, blackjack, pigweed, khaki weed, crabfinger grass, large thornapple, purslane, dwarf marigold, field bindweed,  Anoda  weed,  Rottboelia exaltata, Ipomeoea purpurea, Eleusine indica, Amaranthus spinosus, Commelina benghalensis, Digitaria ciliaris, Digitaria sanguinalis, Cyperus esculentus, Cyperus rotundus, Euphorbia heterophylla , and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         33 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the composition is applied as a pre-emergence treatment. 
     
     
         34 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the composition is applied as a post-emergence treatment.
