Described herein are microemulsion compositions including topramezone and, in particular, microemulsion compositions of topramezone that are amenable as a ready to use solution or in the form of a spray. Also described herein is the use of these compositions for controlling undesirable vegetation, in crops and non-crops.

Also described herein is the use of these compositions for controlling undesirable vegetation, in crops and non-crops.

The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I), or an agronomically acceptable salt of said compounds wherein Q, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.4 and n are as defined herein. The invention further relates to herbicidal compositions which comprise a compound of Formula (I) and to the use of compounds of Formula (I) for controlling weeds, in particular in crops of useful plants.

##STR00001##

An isoxazoline compound with optical activity is shown in the formula (I). The compound of the formula (I) has excellent herbicidal activity, can be used for weeding pre- and post-emergence, and can also be used for soil treatment. The compound of the formula (I) can effectively control various broad-leaved weeds, grass weeds and Cyperaceae weeds, and can control various resistant weeds, such as glyphosate-resistant weeds. The excellent weeding effect can be obtained at a low dose. The compound has good safety to crops such as corn, wheat, rice, soybean and sugar beet. The compound can be used as a selective herbicide in crop fields in agriculture, and can also be used as a non-selective herbicide in non-cultivated land, fallow land, woodland, orchards and ridges.
