The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising at least one chloroacetamide selected from acetochlor and pretilachlor. The invention also relates to methods and uses for controlling undesirable vegetation, in particular in crops.

The present invention relates to a herbicidal composition comprising at least one chloroacetamide selected from acetochlor and pretilachlor. The invention also relates to methods and uses for controlling undesirable vegetation, in particular in crops.

Disclosed are compounds of Formula 1, including all geometric and stereoisomers, N-oxides, and salts thereof, ##STR00001##
wherein Q is ##STR00002##
and A, R.sup.1, m, X.sup.1, X.sup.2, Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2, Y.sup.3 and R.sup.5a are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are compositions containing the compounds of Formula 1 and methods for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound or a composition of the invention.

An anticoccidial disinfection formulation containing a compound represented by general formula (I) below as an active ingredient:

R.sub.1NCS (I)

[In formula (I), R.sub.1 represents an alkenyl group having 2 to 8 carbon atoms or the like] This compound has a high sporulation inhibitory activity against coccidian oocysts and is thus effective for eradicating coccidians and for disinfecting rearing facilities and rooms of host animals, such as a livestock barn and a poultry house.
