Compound No. 5 was synthesized also in a similar manner.
The R-enantiomers of Δ2 1,2,4-triazolin-5-one derivatives represented by general formula (I) according to the present invention are capable of controlling annual and perennial weeds grown in paddy fields and orchards, such as wild oats (Avena fatua L., an annual gramineous grass grown in plains, waste lands, and paddy fields), mugwort (Artemisia princeps Pamp., a perennial composite grass grown in mountain and paddy fields), large crabgrass (Digitaria adscendcus Henr., an annual gramineous grass which is a typical strongly injurious weed grown in paddy fields and orchards). Curly dock (Rumex japonicus Houtt., a perennial polygonaceous weed grown in paddy fields and on roadsides), umbrella sedge (Cyperus iria L., an annual cyperaceous weed grown in paddy fields and on roadsides), and Redroot pigweed (Amaranthus varidis L., an annual weed of Amaranthaceae family grown in vacent lands, roadsides and paddy fields), etc.
Since the compounds represented by general formula (I) described above exhibit an excellent controlling action against weeds in the prior and initial stages of emergence, they are particularly useful as herbicides for treating fields with the compounds before seeding (planting) crops in the fields, for example, soybeans, cottons, corns, etc. therein, after seeding (planting) these crops therein, treating fields at the growth stage of these crops therein, treating stalks and leaves before seeding (planting) these crops, and treating stalks and leaves at the growth stage of these crops. Further, they can also be used as a herbicide applying at initial and middle stage of rice for paddy fields and moreover, as a herbicide to control general weeds grown in, for example, reaped fields, temporarily non-cultivated fields, ridges between paddy fields, agricultural pathways, waterway, fields constructed for pasture, graveyards, parks, roads, playgrounds, unoccupied areas around buildings, reclaimed lands, railways, forests, etc. Herbicidal treatment of such areas is carried out most effectively and economically but not necessarily prior to the emergence of weeds.
For applying the compounds of the present invention as a herbicide, they are generally made up, according to the customary procedure for preparing agricultural chemicals, into a form convenient to use.
That is, the compounds described above are blended with suitable inert carriers and, if necessary, further with adjuvants, in a suitable ratio, and through dissolution, dispersion, suspension, mechanical mixing, impregnation, adsorption, or adhesion, a suitable form of preparation, e.g., suspension, emulsifiable concentrates, solution, wettable powders, dusts, granules, or tablets may be obtained.
The inert carriers to be used in the formulations may be either solids or liquids. As examples of the adaptable solid carriers, may be cited vegetable powders such as soybean flour, cereal flour, wood flour, bark flour, saw dust, powdered tobacco stalk, powdered walnut shell, bran, powdered cellulose, extraction residues of vegetables, etc.; fibrous materials such as paper, corrugated paperboard, waste cloth, etc.; synthetic polymers such as powdered synthetic resins, etc.; inorganic or mineral products such as clays (e.g., kaolin, bentonite, and acid clay), talcs (e.g., talc and pyrophillite), siliceous substances [e.g., diatomaceous earth, silica sand, mica, and "white carbon" (highly dispersed synthetic silicic acid, also called finely divided hydrated silica or hydrated silicic acid; some commercial products contain calcium silicate as major constituent)], activated carbon, powdered sulfur, pumice, calcined diatomaceous earth, ground brick, fly ash, sand, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, etc.; chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium chloride, etc.; and farmyard manure, etc. These materials are used singly or in combination with one another. The material usable as liquid carriers are selected from those which are solvents for the active compounds and those which are non-solvent but can disperse the active ingredients with the aid of adjuvants. For example, the following materials can be used singly or in combination with one another; water, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, ethylene glycol), ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone), ethers (e.g., ethyl ether, dioxane, cellosolves, dipropyl ether, and tetrahydrofuran), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., gasoline and mineral oils), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene, solvent napththa, and alkylnapthalenes), halohydrocarbons (e.g., dichloroethane, chlorinated benzenes, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride), esters (e.g., ethylacetate, dibutyl phthalate, diisopropyl phthalate, and dioctyl phthalate), acid amides (e.g., dimethylformamide, diethylformamide, and dimethylacetamide), nitriles (e.g., acetonitrile), dimethyl sulfoxide, etc.
The adjuvants, which are exemplified below, are used according to individual purposes. In some cases, they are used in combination with one another. In some other cases, no adjuvant is used at all. For the purpose of emulsification, dispersion, solubilization and/or wetting of the active ingredients, are used surface active agents, for example, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene higher fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene resinates, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, alkylarylsulfonates, naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products, ligninsulfonates, and higher alcohol sulfate esters, etc. For the purpose of stabilizing the dispersion, tackification, and/or agglomeration of the active ingredients, may be used, for example, casein, gelatin, starch, alginic acid, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, turpentine oil, rice bran oil, bentonite, ligninsulfonates, etc.
For the purpose of improving the flow property of the solid composition, it is recommendable to use waxes, stearates, alkyl phosphates, etc.
As peptizers for a dispersible composition, it is also recommendable to use naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products, polyphosphates, etc.
It is also possible to add a defoamer such as, for example, a silicone oil, etc.
The content of the active ingredient may be adjusted as occasion demands; for the preparation of powdered or granulated products, it is usually 0.5 to 20% by weight, and for the preparation of emulsifiable concentrates or wettable powder products, it is desirably 0.1 to 50% by weight.
For destroying various weeds, inhibiting their growth, or protecting useful plants from the injury caused by weeds, a weed-destroying dosage or a weed growth-inhibiting dosage of the herbicidal composition of the present invention is applied as such or after properly diluted with or suspended in water or in other suitable medium, to the soil or the foliage of weeds in the area where the emergence or growth of weeds is undesirable.
The amount of the herbicide of the present invention to be used depends on various factors such as, for example, the purpose of application, objective weeds, the emergence or growth state of weeds and crops, the emergence tendency of weeds, weather, environmental conditions, the form of the herbicidal composition, the mode of application, the type of the field to be treated, the time of application, etc.
In applying the herbicidal composition of the present invention alone as a selective herbicide, it is suitable to select the dosage of the compound from the dose of 10 to 500 g per 10 ares, as the active ingredient.
In the case of using the compound of the present invention as a herbicide for soybeans to be grown in upland fields, it is desired to select the dosage of the compounds of the present invention from the range of 0.1 to 100 g, as the active ingredient.
Considering that, in the combined use of herbicides, the optimum dosage thereof is often lower than that in the single use, the present herbicide may be used in an amount lower than the above, when it is used in combination with another sort of herbicide.
The present herbicide is especially valuable for the pre-emergence treatment and initial emergence stage treatment of fields. In order to expand both the range of controllable weed species and the period of time when effective applications are possible or to reduce the dosage, the present herbicides can be used in combination with other herbicides, and this usage is within the scope of this invention.
The following examples illustrate the herbicidal effects of the present compounds and the formulations of the present compounds, but the invention is not to be limited to these examples.

TEST EXAMPLE 3 Effect on upland field weeds of post-emergence stage
Polyethylene vats, having 10×20×5 cm (depth) size, were filled with soil and seeded with the injurious weeds shown below and soybean seeds, respectively, and the seeds were covered with soil. The weeds and soybean were cultivated respectively to the following leaf stages and then treated with each active ingredient at a given dosage.
After 21 days, the herbicidal effect on the weeds and the degree of corp injury to the soybean were evaluated by comparing the results with those on the untreated plot.
