Description

  The present invention relates to a weed weeding method and a herbicide.

  Weeds cause growth hindrance and deterioration of quality in crops and horticultural plants, and cause great damage to productivity. Currently, phenoxy-, urea-, organophosphorus-, diphenylether-, and triazine-based chemically synthesized pesticides are mainly used as herbicides for controlling weeds. These herbicides have various mechanisms of action, such as inhibiting various enzyme systems, biosynthetic systems, and photosynthesis. Chemically synthesized pesticides develop resistance to weeds by excessive application of pesticides, and therefore, pesticides that are safe and difficult to be resistant to chemicals are desired. In addition, excessive application of chemically synthesized pesticides is concerned about the burden on the environment and the burden on workers.

From this point of view, it is desired to develop a pesticide having a more excellent control effect, and a technique capable of controlling weeds from a different viewpoint from a conventional chemically synthesized pesticide is being studied. As one of them, a microemulsion herbicide (Patent Document 1) using a fatty acid and a surfactant is disclosed.
Moreover, the herbicide (patent document 2) using the glycerol fatty acid ester suitable for the environment in order to improve the odor of a fatty acid is disclosed.
In addition, for the purpose of enhancing the efficacy of agricultural chemicals, agricultural chemicals containing polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyglycerin fatty acid esters and aliphatic alcohols having 8 to 14 carbon atoms or specific polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers An efficacy enhancer composition (Patent Document 3) is known.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the weeding method and the herbicide which were excellent in the weeding effect of weeds are provided.

  The weeding method of the present invention includes a step of applying to the weeds a spray solution containing the compound (A) and the compound (B) at a predetermined concentration.
