Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a herbicide composition, and more particularly to a herbicide composition for field use which is safe for crops and effectively controls field weeds when applied to corn.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A wide variety of herbicides have been developed through many years of research and development of herbicides. These herbicides are important for improving agricultural productivity such as protection of useful crops from weed damage and labor saving of agricultural work. It is now an indispensable material. However, even at present, it has a better herbicidal performance, that is, it does not cause phytotoxicity to cultivated crops, has a broad herbicidal spectrum, and it is desired to develop an effective herbicide at a lower dose. However, existing herbicides do not always completely meet such requirements.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention 2-[[(4,6-Dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl) aminocarbonyl] aminosulfonyl] -N, N-dimethyl-3-pyridinecarboxamide Is a herbicide that is widely used as a single agent for cultivated crops such as corn (JP-A-62-223180).
However, when used in foliar treatment, it has a strong effect on grass weeds, but a weak effect on broad-leaved weeds, so improvement by a mixed agent is desired.

Next, the effects of the composition of the present invention will be concretely shown with reference to test examples. Test Example 1 Pot Test (Summer Crop Treatment) A corn seed and a summer weed seed shown in Table 2 were sown in fixed amounts in a plastic cup having a diameter of 7 cm and a depth of 10 cm.
The soil was covered with a thickness of 5 mm, and the cultivation was controlled for 20 days at an appropriate temperature and humidity. For the drug treatment, the formulation of Example 2 was used as a trial, and diluted with water so that the amounts of the respective active ingredients shown in Table 2 were adjusted,
4.5 ml per section was uniformly sprayed on the foliage of the plant.
Twenty days after the chemical treatment, the herbicidal effect on each weed and the degree of phytotoxicity to corn were determined according to the "evaluation criteria" in Table 1, and the results are shown in Table 2. Also, for comparison, the same evaluation was performed when Compound 1 and Compound 2 were used alone.

[0019]

[Table 1]

[0020]

[Table 2]

From these results, it was found that the composition of the present invention can control various summer weeds with an extremely low dose as compared with the case where each active ingredient is used alone.

Test Example 2 Field test (Summer field foliage treatment) In the field, seeds of 50 kg of corn seeds (Rocky-Bandam) suitable per hectare of velvetleaf, Onami fir, Aobiyu, Morning glory, Scutellaria perforatum, Spodoptera litura seeds are sown. And fractionate into 2m x 5m test area,
After the day, drug treatment was performed. For the drug treatment, the formulation of Example 2 was used as a test, diluted with water so that the respective amounts of the active ingredients shown in Table 2 were obtained, and 500 ml per section was uniformly sprayed. After 30 days from the chemical treatment, the herbicidal effect on each weed and the degree of phytotoxicity to corn were discriminated according to the criteria in Table 1, and the results are shown in Table 3. Also, for comparison, the same evaluation was performed when Compound 1 and Compound 2 were used alone.

[0023]

[Table 3]

As shown by the results of the above Test Examples 1 and 2,
INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The composition of the present invention can control various weeds effectively with a low dose, which is unprecedented with conventional herbicides, and is extremely promising as an agricultural material.

[0025]

As is clear from the above test examples, the composition of the present invention exhibits a high effect on summer weeds and winter weeds at a low dose which cannot be achieved by each compound alone, and has no effect on crops. Does not cause phytotoxicity. These excellent effects clearly indicate that there is a strong synergistic effect between the respective active ingredients contained in the composition of the present invention,
The herbicidal properties of each of them show an unexpected effect. Therefore, compared to conventional herbicides, the amount of active ingredient required is extremely small, so that the herbicide is highly safe for the environment and farmers and meets the needs of the times.
