The pest controlling method of the present invention can be used in crop lands such as upland field, paddy field, and orchard.

examples .
The above "plants" also include those provided with resistance to herbicides, including HPPD inhibitors such as isoxaflutole; ALS inhibitors such as imazethapyr and thifen sulfuronmethyl; EPSP synthesis enzyme inhibitors such as glyphosate; glutamine synthesis enzyme inhibitors such as glufosinate; acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors such as sethoxydim; bromoxynil, dicamba and 2,4-D, by way of a classical breeding method or a genetic recombination technique .
Examples of the "plants" provided with resistance to an imidazolinone-based ALS inhibitor-type herbicide such as imazethapyr by the classical breeding method include rapeseed, wheat, sunflower, and rice, which have been already on the market under the trade name of Clearfield®. Likewise, there is soybean which has resistance to a sulfonyl urea-based ALS inhibitor-type herbicide such as thifensulfuron-methyl by- the classical breeding method, and which has been already on the market under the trade name of STS soybean. Likewise, there is SR corn as an example of a plant which is provided with resistance to an acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor, such as trione oxime-based and aryloxy phenoxypropionic acid-based herbicides, by a classical breeding method. Examples of the plant provided with resistance to the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor are described in the proceeding of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA), Vol. 87, pp. 7175-7179 (1990) and the like.
Also, mutated acetyl CoA carboxylase, which is resistant to the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor, is reported in the Weed Science, Vol. 53, pp. 728-746 (2005) . The plants with resistance to the acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor can be made by introducing such a mutated acetyl CoA carboxylase gene into a plant by means of a genetic recombination technique, or by introducing resistance-providing mutation into acetyl CoA carboxylase of the plant. Further, by introducing base substitution mutation introducing nucleic acid typified by a chimeraplasty technology (Gura T.,
"Repairing the Genome's Spelling Mistakes", Science, Vol. 285, pp. 316-318 (1999) ) into a plant cell and inducing site-specific amino acid substitution mutation to the acetyl CoA carboxylase gene of the plant or the ALS gene, a plant resistant to acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors and ALS inhibitors can be made.
Examples of the plant provided with resistance by means of a genetic recombination technique include corn, soybean, cotton, rapeseed and sugar beet cultivars
resistant to glyphosate, which have been already on the market under the trade name of RoundupReady® and Agrisure® GT. Similarly, there are corn, soybean, cotton and
rapeseed cultivars provided with resistance to glufosinate by means of a genetic recombination technique, which have been already on the market under the trade name of
LibertyLink®. Similarly, cotton provided with resistance to bromoxynil by means of a genetic recombination technique has been already on the market under the trade name of BXN.
The above "plants" also include those which have been made capable of synthesizing selective toxins known as genus Bacillus, using a genetic recombination technique.
Examples of the insecticidal toxins expressed in such transgenic plants include insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus cereus and Bacillus popilliae; δ-endotoxins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis, e.g. CrylAb, CrylAc, CrylF, CrylFa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bbl and Cry9C, and insecticidal proteins such as VIPI, VIP2, VIP3 and VIP3A; insecticidal toxins derived from nematodes; insecticidal toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxin, spider toxin, bee toxin and insect-specific neurotoxins;

inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) such as ricin, corn-RIP, abrin, rufin, sapolin and priodin; steroid metabolic enzymes such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase,

oxidase; ecdysone inhibitors; HMG-CoA reductase; ion
channel inhibitors such as sodium channel inhibitors and calcium channel inhibitors; juvenile hormone esterase;
diuretic hormone receptors; stilbene synthetase; bibenzyl synthetase; chitinase; and glucanase.
The toxins expressed in such transgenic plants
include δ-endotoxin proteins such as CrylAb, CrylAc, CrylF, CrylFa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bbl, Cry9C, Cry34Ab and Cry35Ab, hybrid toxins of insecticidal proteins such as VIPl, VIP2 , VIP3 and VIP3A, partially deficient toxins, and modified toxins. The hybrid toxins can be made by a novel
combination of the different domains of such proteins, using a genetic recombination technique. A known partially deficient toxin is CrylAb, in which a part of an amino acid sequence is deficient. In modified toxins, one or more amino acids of a natural toxin are replaced.
Examples of such toxins and transgenic plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are described in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A-451 878, and WO 03/052073.
The toxins contained in such transgenic plants impart resistance to insect pests of Coleoptera, insect pests of Hemiptera, insect pests of Diptera, insect pests of
Lepidoptera and Nematoda to the plants.
It has already been known that there are transgenic plants containing one or more insecticidal pest-resistant genes and capable of producing one or more toxins. Some of them are commercially available. Examples of such transgenic plants include YieldGard® (a corn cultivar expressing a CrylAb toxin) , YieldGard Rootworm® (a corn cultivar
expressing a Cry3Bbl toxin) , YieldGard Plus® (a corn
cultivar expressing CrylAb and Cry3Bbl toxins) , Herculex® I (a corn cultivar expressing a CrylFa2 toxin and

The treated seeds are allowed to stand overnight and placed on the soil filled in plastic pots and then covered with the soil mixed with Rhizoctonia solani cultured separately in a bran culture medium. While sprinkling, culture is
conducted in a greenhouse (hereinafter referred to as the chemical-treated section) . Ten days after seeding, the number of seeds that did not show epicotyl emergence is examined and severity is calculated by "Equation 1" shown below. Using non-treated corn seeds, seeding, soil
covering and culture are conducted in the same manner as in the case of the chemical-treated section (hereinafter referred to as the non-chemical-treated section) . Ten days after seeding, the number of seeds that did not show epicotyl emergence is examined and severity is calculated by "Equation 1" shown below.

Severity (%) = [(Number of seeds that did not show epicotyl emergence) / (Total number of inoculated seeds)] * 100 Equation 1
Control value (%) = [ (A - B) / (A) ] χ 100

A: Severity (%) of plants in the non-chemical-treated section
B: Severity (%) of plants in the chemical-treated section
Test Example 2
In a 15 ml centrifuge tube, corn seeds are smeared with the flowable formulation described in Formulation Example 19 in the amount of 5 μΐ per one corn seed and placed in a 1/10,000 are Wagner pot in which the soil is spread. After growing the plants in a greenhouse for 12 days, five Rhopalosiphum padi are released (hereinafter referred to as the test section) . Using corn seeds which are not treated with the flowable formulation described in Formulation Example 19, seeding, growing and release are conducted in the same manner as in the case of the test section (hereinafter referred to as the control section) .
Seven days after release, the number of Rhopalosiphum padi is examined with respect to the test section and the control section. As a result, since the number of insects in the test section is smaller than the number of insects in the control section, it is possible to confirm that the test section exerts a satisfactory pest control effect.
