Provided are a herbicidal composition having excellent control effect on weeds and a method for controlling weeds. The herbicidal composition comprising one or more PPO-inhibiting herbicides selected from the group consisting of flumioxazin, flumiclorac-pentyl, lactofen, carfentrazone-ethyl, sulfentrazone, tiafenacil, trifludimoxazin, and a compound represented by the following formula (I):

##STR00001##

wherein X represents CH or a nitrogen atom, and Z represents CH or a nitrogen atom, and glufosinate or a salt thereof, wherein a weight ratio of the PPO-inhibiting herbicide to the glufosinate or a salt thereof is 1:150 to 1:700.

A composition suitable for control of diseases caused by phytopathogens comprising (A) a compound of formula I ##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 is difluoromethyl or trifluoromethyl and X is chloro, fluoro or bromo; and (B) at least one compound selected from compounds known for their fungicidal activity; and a method of controlling diseases on useful plants, especially rust diseases on soybean plants.
