In the method for controlling weeds of the present invention and the present method for controlling harmful organisms, crop seeds are sowed in a cultivation area using a typical method. The cultivation area of crops may be treated with the compound X before, simultaneously with, and/or after sowing the crop seeds. In other words, the compound X is applied once before, simultaneously with, or after sowing the crop seeds; twice except before the sowing, twice except simultaneously with the sowing, or twice except after the sowing; or three times before, simultaneously with, and after the sowing.
In a case where the cultivation area is treated with the compound X before sowing the crop seeds, the cultivation area is treated with the compound X usually during a period of 50 days before the sowing to immediately before the sowing, preferably during a period of 30 days before the sowing to immediately before the sowing, more preferably during a period of 20 days before the sowing to immediately before the sowing, and still more preferably during a period of 10 days before the sowing to immediately before the sowing.
In a case where the cultivation area is treated with the compound X after sowing crop seeds, the cultivation area is treated with the compound X usually during a period of immediately after the sowing to before blooming and more preferably during a period of immediately after the sowing to before sprouting and a period of the 1 to 6 leaf stage of crops. In a case where the cultivation area is subjected to a foliage treatment with the compound X during a period of the 1 to 6 leaf stage of crops, the step (3) may be performed concurrently by mixing the compound X with one or more compounds (hereinafter, referred to as compounds B) selected from the above-described compound group B or may be performed sequentially. In a case where the steps are performed sequentially, the order thereof is not particularly limited.
The case where the cultivation area is treated with the compound X simultaneously with sowing the crop seeds is a case where a sowing machine and a spraying machine are integrated with each other.
In the step (3) of the present method for controlling harmful organisms, the compounds B are usually mixed with carriers such as solid carriers or liquid carriers, an auxiliary agents for formulation such as a surfactant is added thereto as necessary, and the mixture is formulated and then used. Preferred examples of the formulation types include an emulsifiable concentrate, an aqueous suspension, and a soluble liquid.
The period of when the step (3) is performed is preferably a period of 10 days to 120 days after the sowing and more preferably a period of 21 days to 90 days after the sowing. In a case of a plurality of compounds B, a plurality of formulations containing each of compounds B as an active ingredient may be used. During this time, the formulations may be treated mixing with each other or may be sequentially treated. Further, a mixed formulation containing a plurality of compounds as active ingredients may be used.
The application rate of the compounds B is usually in a range of 5 to 5,000 g, preferably in a range of 20 to 2,000 g, and more preferably in a range of 50 to 1,500 g per 10,000 m2 of the cultivation area of crop seeds. Further, during the step (3), the compounds B are mixed with an adjuvant and then used for the treatment.

In the above harmful organisms, mutations within the species is not particularly limited. Namely, the weeds also include any of weeds that have a reduced sensitivity to a specific insecticide, fungicide or herbicide. The reduced sensitivity may be attributed to a mutation at a target site (target site mutations), or may be attributed to any factors other than target site mutation (non-target site mutations). The factors reducing sensitivity by non-target site mutations include metabolic enhancement, defective absorption, defective transition, and efflux out of the system, etc. A cause of the metabolic enhancement includes an enhanced activity of metabolic enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, aryl acylamidases, esterases and glutathione S-transferase. The efflux out of the system includes the transfer to a vacuole by an ABC transporter. Examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include, for example, weeds having one or more of the following amino acid substitutions in ALS gene. Ala122Thr, Ala122Val, Ala122Tyr, Pro197Ser, Pro197His, Pro197Thr, Pro197Arg, Pro197Leu, Pro197G1n, Pro197Ala, Pro197Ile, Ala205Val, Ala205Phe, Asp376G1u, Arg377His, Trp574Leu, Trp574Gly, Trp574Met, Ser653Thr, Ser653Thr, Ser653Asn, Ser635Ile, Gly654G1u, Gly645Asp. Also, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include one or more of the following amino acid substitutions in ACCase gene.

Further, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include ΔGly210 in PPX2L gene and Arg98Leu mutation in PPX1 gene. In particular, the present invention can efficiently control hiyumodoki (tall waterhemp; Amaranthus tuberculatos) and ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus palmeri) which have ΔGly210 mutation in PPX2L gene and butakusa (common ragweed; Ambrosia artemisiaefolia) which has Arg98Leu in PPX1. Moreover, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include amino acid substitutions such as Thr102Ile, Pro106Ser, Pro106Ala and Pro106Leu in EPSP gene. In particular, the present invention can efficiently control glyphosate-resistant ohishiba (goosegrass; Eleusine indica), glyphosate-resistant nezumimugi (Italian ryegrass; Lolium multiflorum), glyphosate-resistant bomugi (rigid ryegrass; Lolium rigidum), glyphosate-resistant susukimehishiba (sourgrass; Digitaria insularis), glyphosate-resistant hiyumodoki (tall waterhemp; Amaranthus tuberculatos), and glyphosate-resistant kohimebie (jungle rice; Echinochloa colonum) which have one or both of the amino acid substitutions. Similarly, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site include weeds having the increased copy numbers of EPSP gene, and in particular, the present invention can efficiently control glyphosate-resistant ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus palmeri), glyphosate-resistant hiyumodoki (tall waterhemp; Amaranthus tuberculatos) and glyphosate-resistant hokigi (kochia; Kochia scoparia) which have the mutation. The present invention can also efficiently control himemukashiyomogi (marestail; Conyza canadensis), oarechinogiku (Guernsey fleabane; Conyza sumatrensis) and arechinogiku (fleabane; Conyza bonariensis) having the resistance to glyphosate related to ABC transporters.

Further, nitrogen-fixing bacteria or mycorrhizal fungi may be inoculated to crops together with the seed treatment applied to the crops with the compound group A.
EXAMPLESHereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
First, the evaluation criteria of the effects of controlling harmful arthropods, the effects of controlling plant pathogens, the herbicidal effects, and the phytotoxicity on crops, shown in the following examples, will be described.
[Effects of Controlling Harmful Arthropods]
In the evaluation of the effects of controlling harmful arthropods, the life and death of insects at the time of investigation is determined and the controlling rate is acquired using the following equation.
Controlling rate (%)=100×(1−T/C)
Further, the characters in the equation represent the followings.
C: number of insects in an untreated area at the time of observation
T: number of insects in a treated area at the time of observation
[Effects of Controlling Plant Pathogens]
In the evaluation of the effects of controlling plant pathogens, when the symptoms caused by the plant pathogens at the time of investigation are compared to those in an untreated area and there is no difference or almost no difference between the symptoms, this case is evaluated as “0”. Further, when there are no symptoms or almost no symptoms caused by the plant pathogens, this case is evaluated as “100”. The effects are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 100.
[Herbicidal Effects]
In the evaluation of the herbicidal effects, when the sprouting or growing state of the test weeds at the time of investigation is compared to that of weeds in an untreated area and there is no difference or almost no difference between the states, this case is evaluated as “0”. Further, when the test plants are completely withered or sprouting or growing of plants is completely suppressed, this case is evaluated as “100”. The effects are evaluated on a scale of 0 to 100.
[Phytotoxicity on Crops]
In the evaluation of phytotoxicity on crops, a case where phytotoxicity is not confirmed is evaluated as “harmless”, a case where mild phytotoxicity is confirmed is evaluated as “small”, a case where moderate phytotoxicity is confirmed is evaluated as “medium”, and a case where strong phytotoxicity is confirmed is evaluated as “large”.
