[0165] Transplanted Rice Safety Evaluation and Weed Control Effect Evaluation in Rice Field:
[0166] Rice field soil was loaded into a 1/1,000,000 ha pot. The seeds of Echinochloa crusgalli, Scirpus juncoides, and Bidens tripartitaL. were sowed and gently covered with soil, then left to stand still in greenhouse in the state of 0.5-1 cm of water storage. The tuber of Sagittaria trifolia was planted in the next day or 2 days later. It was kept at 3-4 cm of water storage thereafter. The weeds were treated by dripping the WP or SC water diluents prepared according to the common preparation method of the compounds of the present invention with pipette homogeneously to achieve specified effective amount when Echinochloa crusgalli, Scirpus juncoides, and Bidens tripartita L. reached 0.5 leaf stage and Sagittaria trifolia reached the time point of primary leaf stage.
[0167] In addition, the rice field soil that loaded into the 1/1,000,000 ha pot was leveled to keep water storage at 3-4 cm depth. The 3 leaf stage rice (japonica rice) was transplanted at 3 cm of transplanting depth the next day. The compound of the present invention was treated by the same way after 5 days of transplantation.
