The invention relates to the technical field of pesticides, and in particular to a type of 3-isoxazolidinone compound, as well as a preparation method, a herbicidal composition and an application thereof. The 3-isoxazolidinone compound is as shown in Formula I:

##STR00001## wherein, Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 each independently represent O or S; R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represent alkyl. The present compounds have superior crop safety while maintaining comparable or even better herbicidal activity, thus they are more selective in crops. Moreover, the compounds of the present invention have better anti-volatility to avoid drift.
