专利说明:
[0001] The present invention relates to herbicidal compositions containing as essential components (a) a herbicidal benzoylpyrazole compound or its salt and (b) other herbicidal compound. BACKGROUND ART
[0002] Patent Document 1 discloses mixed use of some hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibition type herbicides and some other herbicides. Patent Document 2 discloses mixed use of some pyrazole compounds with atrazine, cyanazine, alachlor or metolachlor. Patent Document 3 discloses that some pyrazole compounds are useful as a herbicide, and discloses some of other herbicides which can be used as mixed with the compounds as examples.
[0003] However, Patent Documents 1 to 3 failed to specifically disclose a herbicidal composition comprising as active ingredients a herbicidal benzoylpyrazole compound represented by the following formula (I) and other herbicidal compound. Patent Document 1: WO01/28341 Patent Document 2: JP-A-62-63503 Patent Document 3: EP 0352543A DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTIONOBJECT TO BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE INVENTION
[0004] At present, many herbicidal compositions have been developed and used, but there are a variety of types of weeds to be controlled, and their development lasts for a long period of time. Thus, a high activity and long lasting herbicidal composition having a wider herbicidal spectrum has been desired. Further, in recent years, a technique to reduce the dose of the active ingredient has been desired so as to reduce the environmental load to a place where the herbicide is applied or a periphery thereof. MEANS TO ACCOMPLISH THE OBJECT
[0005] The present inventors have conducted extensive studies to accomplish the above object and as a result, found a highly useful herbicidal composition.
[0006] That is, the present invention relates to a herbicidal composition which comprises as active ingredients (a) a herbicidal benzoylpyrazole compound represented by the formula (I) or its salt (hereinafter referred to as compound A):
[0007] The herbicidal composition of the present invention, i.e. the herbicidal composition comprising as active ingredients the compound A and other herbicidal compound, is capable of controlling a wide range of undesired plants emerging in agricultural fields or non-agricultural fields. It surprisingly presents a synergistic herbicidal effect i.e. a herbicidal effect higher than the mere addition of the respective herbicidal effects of the active ingredients. Such a herbicidal composition of the present invention can be applied at a low dose as compared with a case where the respective active ingredients are applied individually. Thus, it is effective to reduce the environmental load on a place where the composition is applied or a periphery thereof. Further, the herbicidal spectrum will be enlarged, and further the herbicidal effects will last over a long period of time.
[0008] When the herbicidal activity in a case where two active ingredients are combined, is larger than the simple sum of the respective herbicidal activities of the two active ingredients (the expected activity), it is called a synergistic effect. The activity expected by the combination of two active ingredients can be calculated as follows (Colby S.R., "Weed", vol. 15, p. 20-22, 1967). E = α + β - α × β ÷ 100
[0009] That is, when the actual growth inhibition rate (measured value) is larger than the growth inhibition rate by the above calculation (calculated value), the activity by the combination can be regarded as showing a synergistic effect. The herbicidal composition of the present invention shows a synergistic effect when calculated by the above formula. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

The solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain crude 5-hydroxy-1-methylpyrazol-4-yl 3-(2,2-dimethoxyethoxy)-2-methyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl ketone.¹H-NMR (400MHz CDCl₃ δ ppm) : 2.38(s, 3H), 3.29(s, 3H), 3.47(s, 6H), 3.70(s, 3H), 4.09(d, 2H, J=5.2Hz), 4.1 (br s, 1 H), 4.83(t, 1H, J=5.2Hz), 7.32(s, 1 H), 7.35(d, 1H, J=8.4Hz), 7.91 (d, 1H, J=8.4Hz).(4) The crude 5-hydroxy-1-methylpyrazol-4-yl 3-(2,2-dimethoxyethoxy)-2-methyl-4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl ketone obtained in the above step (3) was dissolved in anhydrous THF (10 mL), and triethylamine (250 mg) and 96% S-ethyl chlorothiolformate (200 mg) were added, followed by stirring for 1 hour at room temperature. Ethyl acetate (200 mL) was added to the obtained reaction mixture, and the mixture was washed twice with a saturated brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (n-hexane:ethyl acetate=1:1) to obtain the desired product (150 mg).

[0243] Upland field soil was put into a 1/1,000,000 hectare pot, and seeds of various plants were sown. When the respective plants reached predetermined leaf stage, herbicidal compositions in predetermined amounts were diluted with water in an amount corresponding to 300 Uha and applied for foliar treatment by a small sprayer.
[0244] On the 14th to 28th day after application, the state of growth of the respective plants was visually observed to determine the growth inhibition rate (measured value) in accordance with the following evaluation standard. Further, in accordance with the above Colby's formula, the growth inhibition rate (calculated value) was calculated. The results are shown in Tables 5-1 to 5-137. In Tables, with respect to the compound A, Compound Nos. in Table 1 or 3 are described, and with respect to other herbicidal compounds, common names are described.
