Abstract: At present, many herbicidal compositions have been developed and used, but there are many types of weeds to be controlled, and their development lasts for a long period of time. Accordingly, it has been desired to develop a herbicidal composition having a wider herbicidal spectrum, high activity and residual activity and thereby capable of controlling undesired plants for a long period of time. The present invention provides a herbicidal composition comprising as active ingredients (a) tolpyralate and (b) pyroxsulam.
