(35) To test herbicidal activities, (1) in the case of non-selective herbicidal compositions, weeds at the growth stage (30-40 cm) in fallow areas and orchards were treated with compositions containing the uracil compounds and herbicidally active compounds. (2) In the case of dry-field farming, weeds at the initial growth state (5 cm or less) in wheat and corn fields weeds were treated with compositions containing the uracil compounds and herbicidally active compounds. (3) In the case of paddy field farming weeds in rice fields were treated with compositions containing the uracil compounds and herbicidally active compounds at 15 days after rice transplantation.

(36) Herbicidal activities were visually evaluated by comparing the mortality of the plants with untreated control groups 20 days after treatment with the compositions.

(37) Meanwhile, if the actual damage exceeds the calculated value, then the activity of the combination is superadditive. The expected activity for a given combination of two herbicides can be calculated using equation 1 above.

Example 1

Nonselective Herbicidal Composition

(38) Weeds at the weed growth stage (30-40 cm) in fallow areas and orchards were treated with nonselective herbicidal compositions containing the uracil compounds and herbicidally active compounds.

Experimental Example

(39) Tables 2 to 29 below show the plant mortalities (herbicidal activities) obtained when Echinochloa crus, Digitaria sanguinalis, Abutilon theophrasti, Aeschynomene indica and Xanthium spinosum were treated with the indicated amounts of uracil compounds, nonselective herbicides, and uracil compound/herbicide mixtures. When the measured values are higher than the calculated values, the test materials have significant herbicidal activities. The left column of two columns for each grass in the following tables indicates measured mortality values, and the right column indicates calculated mortality values.

Example 2

Herbicidal Composition for Dry Field Farming

(84) In the case of herbicidal compositions for dry field farming, weeds at the initial growth stage (5 cm or less) in wheat and corn fields were treated with various concentrations of herbicidal compositions containing the uracil compounds and herbicidally active compounds.

Experimental Examples

(85) Tables 37 to 48 below show the plant mortalities (herbicidal activities) obtained when Alopecurus aequalis, Porippa islandica, Capsella bursapastoris, Lamium amplexicaule and wheat or Echinochloa crus, Digitaria sanguinalis, Abutilon theophrasti, Aeschynomene indica and corn were treated with the indicated amounts of uracil compounds, dry-field farming herbicides, and uracil compound/dry-field farming herbicide mixtures. When the measured values are higher than the calculated values, the test materials are regarded to have significant herbicidal activities.

(103) As can be seen in Tables 37 to 50 above, the mixture of the uracil compound and the conventional dry-field farming herbicide showed a higher herbicidal activity than that of each compound and also showed a higher herbicidal activity of the mixture comprising Carfentrazone in place of the uracil compound. In addition, the mixture of the uracil compound and the conventional dry-field farming herbicide did not show herbicidal activity for wheat and corn, suggesting that it can be used as a herbicidal composition for dry-field farming.

Comparative Example

(133) The procedure related to Table 78 below was carried out in the same manner as the procedure related to Table 52, except that Carfentrazone was used in place of the uracil compound.

(134) Table 78 below is for comparison with Table 52 and shows that a 2.5:10 mixture and 5:5 mixture of compound 36 and Pyrazosulfuron showed the highest herbicidal effect. The left column of two columns for each grass in the following table indicates measured mortality values, and the right column indicates calculated mortality values.

(136) As can be seen in Tables 51 to 78 above, the mixture of the uracil compound and the conventional paddy field farming herbicide showed a higher herbicidal activity than that of each compound and also showed a higher herbicidal activity of the mixture comprising Carfentrazone in place of the uracil compound. In addition, the mixture of the uracil compound and the conventional paddy field farming herbicide did not show herbicidal activity for the rice plant, suggesting that it can be used as an herbicidal composition for paddy field farming.

Example 4

Nonselective Herbicidal Composition Comprising 1 Uracil Compound and 2 Herbicidally Active Compounds

(137) Weeds at the weed growth stage (30-40 cm) in fallow areas and orchards were treated with nonselective herbicidal compositions containing 1 uracil compound and 2 herbicidally active compounds.

Experimental Example

(138) Tables 79 below show the plant mortalities (herbicidal activities) obtained when ryegrass and wild amaranth were treated with the indicated amounts of nonselective herbicides, and 1 uracil compound/2 herbicide mixtures. When the measured values are higher than the calculated values, the test materials have significant herbicidal activities.

(140) As described above, the mixture of the two conventional nonselective herbicide and the uracil compound showed a higher herbicidal activity.

(141) As described above, the herbicidal composition according to the present invention comprises, as active ingredients, the uracil compound represented by formula 1 and an herbicidally active compound, and thus exhibits excellent herbicidal activity while having a very high compatibility with crops. In addition, the herbicidal composition of the present invention shows excellent effects not only on selective control of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in various crops, for example, wheat, barley, oat and corn, but also on control of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in semi- and non-selective areas.

(142) As can be seen from the results of the above examples carried out by the present inventors, the inventive herbicidal composition comprising both the uracil compound and the herbicidally active compound showed excellent herbicidal activity thanks to the synergistic action of these active ingredients compared to the herbicidal composition comprising the uracil compound or the herbicidally active compound individually. This increased herbicidal activity is a remarkable effect which could not be predicted by those skilled in the art.

(143) In addition, the herbicidal composition of the present invention could be tolerated by a variety of crops and could effectively control even weeds which are usually difficult to control. Thus, the herbicidal composition of the present invention is a broad-spectrum herbicidal composition.

(144) Accordingly, the herbicidal composition of the present invention has excellent herbicidal activity against weeds, can selectively control monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in useful crops and can also control monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds in semi-selective and non-selective areas.
