[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 foliage treatment and a method for herbicide treatment by foliar application of the composition to weeds.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art At present, a large number of herbicides are commercially available and used. Therefore, there is a demand for safe herbicides in crops, which have a wide spectrum of herbicides and which have high cropping rates.

[0003]

The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to find an excellent herbicide and found that O- [2-chloro-4]
