  Next, the effect of the present invention will be shown by test examples.

Test example 1
The flowable formulation described in Formulation Example 3 is smeared on corn seeds using a rotary seed treatment machine (seed dresser, Hans-Ulrich Hege GmbH) to obtain treated seeds. The treated seeds are allowed to stand overnight, then sown on soil packed in a plastic pot, and covered with soil mixed with Rhizotonia solani separately cultured in a bran medium. Cultivate in a greenhouse while irrigating (hereinafter referred to as a chemical treatment zone). After 10 days of sowing, the number of non-budding seeds is examined, and the disease incidence is calculated by the following “Formula 1”. Using untreated corn seeds, sowing, covering and cultivating are performed in the same manner as in the drug-treated zone (hereinafter referred to as the drug-untreated zone). After 10 days of sowing, the number of non-budding seeds is examined, and the disease incidence is calculated by the following “Formula 1”. By calculating the control value of the drug-treated area by the following “Equation 2” based on the disease severity of the drug-treated area and the non-treated area, it can be confirmed that the drug-treated area exhibits a good pest control effect.

Test example 2
The flowable formulation described in Formulation Example 6 was applied in a 15 ml centrifuge tube to 5 μl of corn seeds, sowed in a 1 / 10000a Wagner pot filled with soil, and allowed to grow in a greenhouse for 12 days. After that, 5 barley beetles are released (hereinafter referred to as test areas). Using the corn seeds that are not treated with the flowable formulation described in Formulation Example 6, seeding, growing and releasing insects are conducted in the same manner as in the test group (hereinafter referred to as the control group).
In each of the test group and the control group, the number of barley beetle is examined after 7 days of insect release. As a result, since the number of insects in the test group is smaller than the number of insects in the control group, it can be confirmed that the test group shows a good pest control effect.
