The agrohorticultural insecticide containing the arylalkyloxypyrimidine derivative represented by the formula (I) or salts thereof of the present invention as an active ingredient has a marked controlling effect on the above-exemplified insect pests, which are injurious to paddy field crops, upland crops, fruit trees, vegetables and other crops, flowers and ornament plants, and the like. Therefore, the desired effect of the agrohorticultural insecticides of the present invention can be exhibited by applying the agents to the cultivation carrier such as seeds, paddy field water, stalks and leaves or soil of propagation facility, paddy field, field, fruit trees, vegetables, other crops or flowers and ornament plants and the like, at a season at which the insect pests are expected to appear, before their appearance or at the time when their appearance is confirmed. Particularly, preferable use form is application utilizing what is called penetration transferability by allowing absorption of the compound of the present invention from roots via or not via soil, by treating propagation soil for crops, flowers and ornamental plants and the like, planting hole soil for transplantation, plant foot, irrigation water, culture water for hydroponic culture and the like.

The useful plants, for which the agrohorticultural insecticide of the present invention can be used, are not specifically limited and, for example, plants such as cereals (e.g. rice, barley, wheat, rye, oat, corn etc.); legume (soybean, adzuki bean, fava bean, bean, kidney bean, peanut, etc.); fruit trees and fruits (apple, citrus fruits, pear, grapes, peach, plum, cherry fruit, walnut, sweet chestnut, almond, banana, etc.); vegetables (cabbage, tomato, spinach, broccoli, lettuce, onion, welsh onion (chives, welsh onion), green pepper, eggplant, strawberry, pepper, okra, leek etc,), root vegetables (carrot, potato, sweet potato, tannia, radish, turnip, lotus root, burdock, garlic, Japanese leek etc.), crop for processing (cotton, hemp, beet, hop, sugar cane, sugar beet, olive, rubber, coffee, tobacco, tea, etc.); gourd (pumpkin, cucumber, watermelon, oriental melon, melon, etc.); feed crop (orchard grass, sorghum, timothy, clover, alfalfa, etc.); grass (Korean lawn grass, bent grass, etc.); crop for spicery (lavender, rosemary, thyme, parsley, pepper, ginger, etc.); flowers (chrysanthemum, rose, carnation, orchid, tulip, lily etc.), garden tree (gingko, Japanese cherry, aucuba etc.), forest tree (Abies sachalinensis, Picea jezoensis, pines, Thujopsis dolabrata, Japanese cedar, Japanese cypress, eucalyptus etc.) and the like can be mentioned.

The above-mentioned “plant” also includes plants imparted with resistance to herbicides, for example, HPPD inhibitors such as isoxaflutole and the like, ALS inhibitors such as imazethapyr, thifensulfuron methyl and the like, EPSP synthase inhibitors such as glyphosate and the like, glutamine synthase inhibitors such as glufosinate and the like, acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors such as sethoxydim and the like, Broxynil, dicamba, 2,4-D and the like, by a classical breeding method or gene recombination technique.

Examples of the “plant” imparted with resistance by a classical breeding method include colza, wheat, sunflower and rice resistant to imidazolinone ALS inhibitory herbicides such as imazethapyr and the like, which are already commercially available as a trade name of Clearfield (registered trade mark). Similarly, soybean resistant to sulfonylurea ALS inhibitory herbicides such as thifensulfuron methyl and the like by a classical breeding method is already commercially available as a trade name of STS soybean. Similarly, examples of the plant imparted with resistance to acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors such as trione oxime and aryloxyphenoxypropionic acid herbicides and the like, by a classical breeding method include SR corn and the like.

The plant imparted with resistance to acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors is described in Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, vol. 87, pages 7175-7179 (1990) and the like. In addition, mutated acetyl CoA carboxylase resistant to acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors is reported in Weed Science, vol. 53, pages 728-746 (2005) and the like, and a plant resistant to acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitors can be created by introducing such mutated acetyl CoA carboxylase gene into a plant by a gene recombination technique or introducing a mutation involved in imparting resistance into acetyl CoA carboxylase of the plant. Furthermore, a plant resistant to acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor, ALS inhibitor and the like can be created by introducing a mutation of site-specific amino acid substitution into the acetyl CoA carboxylase gene, ALS gene and the like of the plant by introducing a base substitution mutation-introducing nucleic acid represented by a chimeraplasty technique (Gura T. 1999. Repairing the Genome's Spelling Mistakes. Science 285: 316-318.) into the plant cell. The agrihorticultural insecticide of the present invention can also be used for these plants.

Furthermore, examples of the toxins produced in such genetically modified plants include insecticidal proteins derived from Bacillus cereus and Bacillus popilliae; insecticidal proteins such as δ-endotoxins (e.g. CrylAb, CrylAc, CrylF, CrylFa2, Cry2Ab, Cry3A, Cry3Bbl and Cry9C), VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 and VIP3A, which are derived from Bacillus thuringiensis; toxins derived from nematodes; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxin, spider toxin, bee toxin and insect-specific neurotoxins; filamentous fungi toxins; plant lectins; agglutinin; protease inhibitors such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitor, patatin, cystatin and papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP) such as ricin, corn-RIP, abrin, rufin, sapolin and priodin; steroid metabolic enzymes such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-UDP-glucosyltransferase and cholesterol oxidase; ecdysone inhibitors; HMG-CoA reductase; ion channel inhibitors such as a sodium channel inhibitors and calcium channel inhibitors; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone acceptors; stilbene synthetase; bibenzyl synthetase; chitinase; glucanase and the like.
