Abstract: Mixed herbicidal compositions for controlling weeds, preferably in paddy field are provided. The compositions are characterized by comprising, as active ingredients, (a) an herbicidal difluoromethane sulfonanilide, (b) at least one herbicidal compound selected from the group consisting of known herbicides as defined in claim 1 and, optionally, (c) one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of safeners.

Abstract: It is intended to prevent glufosinate fine granule from a change or decrease in its herbicidal effect depending on climate conditions. Glufosinate is blended with other chemicals and then an adhesion aid is added thereto. The obtained mixture is formed into fine granule. Thus, a foliage treatment technique achieving a stable herbicidal effect is provided.
