Auto-teaching: networks that develop their own teaching input

Disclosed are selected thiolcarbamate derivatives of 3-trihalomethyl-1,2,4-thiadiazole compounds of the formula: wherein R1 is a CCl3 or CF3 group; R2 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R3 is a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. These compounds are shown to have post-emergence herbicidal properties.
