DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART
The present inventors have found that compound represented by the above general formula (I) are useful as agricultural chemicals, in particular, herbicides.
Compounds similar to the compounds of this invention are disclosed in Japanese Patent Kokai (Laid-open) No. Sho 57-181069 (1982), U.S. Pat. No. 4,318,731, U.S. Pat. No. 4,398,943, U.S. Pat. No. 4,404,019, WO85/01637 and WO85/04307. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,318,731 discloses a compound represented by the formula, ##STR3## wherein, R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl; R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, or a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkenyl group; and X is a hydroxy group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyloxy group, an alkyloxyalkyloxy group of which two alkyls may be same as or different from each other and each alkyl is of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4, a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 alkenyloxy, or an alkyloxycarbonyl-alkyloxy group of which two alkyls may be same as or different from each other and each alkyl is of C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 ; U.S. Pat. No. 4,398,943 discloses a compound represented by the formula, ##STR4## wherein R.sup.1 is an alkyl group; R.sup.2 is an alkynyl group, a halomethyl group, or a haloethyl group; and X is an alkoxy group, an alkenyloxy group, an alkoxy-alkoxy group, an alkynyloxy group, a hydroxy group, a halomethyloxy group, or a haloethyloxy group; and U.S. Pat. No. 4,404,019 discloses a compound represented by the formula, ##STR5## wherein R is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl group, a C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alkenyl group or a C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 cycloakyl group, X is a chlorine atom or a bromine atom and Y is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy group, which is useful as a herbicide.
Those compounds, however, can not be considered as suitable herbicides from the viewpoints of the dosage and their effects. Furthermore, WO 85/01637 discloses a compound represented by the following formula, ##STR6## in which X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are independently selected from halogen, haloalkyl, and alkyl;
W is oxygen or sulfur;
R is a three- to eight-membered ring heterocyclic group of one or two, same or different, ring heteroatoms selected from oxygen, sulfur, and nitrogen or an alkyl radical substituted with said heterocyclic group, said heterocyclic group being unsubstituted or substituted with one or more substituents selected from halogen, alkyl, and haloalkyl, or said heterocyclic group being adjoined to a benzene ring at two adjacent ring carbon atoms to form a benzo-heterocycle bicyclic group, said sulfur heteroatom being present in divalent form, S-oxide form, or S-dioxide form;
R.sup.1 is alkyl, haloalkyl, cyanoalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or a group of the formula -alkyl-Y-R.sup.3 ;
R.sup.2 is halogen, alkyl, cyanoalkyl, haloalkyl, arylalkyl, or a group of the formula -alkyl-Y-R.sup.3 ;
R.sup.3 is alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl; and
Y is oxygen or S(O).sub.r in which r is 0 to 2; however, the compound disclosed needs a relatively high dosage for the control of the undersirable weeds and does not have sufficient selectivites between the useful crops and the undersible weeds. WO85/04307 discloses also a similar compound represented by the following formula, ##STR7## in which R is a radical selected from 2-propynyl, 1-methylethyl-2-propynyl, methoxymethyl, 2-propenyl, and 1-methyl-2-methoxyethyl. The compound disclosed, however, kills useful crops in addition to weeds if it is used at a relatively high dosage. On the other hand, sufficient controlling effects of weeds can not be expected if it is used at a relatively lower dosage at which it still gives certain but evident damages on the crops. That is, the compound fails to show sufficient selectivities between the useful crops and weeds. Therefore, there is still a strong demand for a herbicide capable of controlling weeds without causing substantial damages on crops at a lower dosage. While, the present inventors have found that the compounds of this invention disclosed in neither those prior arts nor in any literatures can meet such demand.
Additionally, the present inventors have found that surprisingly, the compounds of this invention exhibit excellent herbicidal activities in a lower dosage and have lower phytotoxicities as compared with the compounds disclosed in the above-mentioned prior art references, whereby this invention has been accomplished.
An object of the present invention is to provide a compound having excellent herbicidal activities and only low phytotoxicities.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a herbicidal composition comprising an effective amount of a compound having excellent herbicidal activities and high crop safety represented by said general formula (I), and suitable inert carrier.
A further object of the present invention is to provide a herbicidal composition comprising said compound which is very useful not only as a pre-emergence treatment type herbicide, but also as a post-emergence treatment type herbicide for upland crops. A further object of the present invention is to provide a method of treating said compound as herbicide for upland crops.
Further objects of the invention will become apparent from the description of the invention which follows.

The .DELTA..sup.2 -1,2,4-triazolin-5-one derivatives represented by the general formula (I) of this invention are capable of controlling annual and perennial weeds grown in paddy fields, for example, barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli Beauv., an annual weed of Gramineae family which is a typical strongly injurious weed grown in paddy fields), monochoria (Monochoria vaginalis Presl, a strongly injurious annual weed of Pontederiaceae family grown in paddy fields), smallflower umbrellaplant (Cyperus difformis L., and injurious annual weed of Cyperaceae family grown in paddy fields), water nutgrass Cyperus serotinus Rottb., a typical injurious perennial weed of Cyperaceae family grown in paddy fields, and also grown in swamps and waterways), arrowhead (Sagittaria pygmaea Mig., an injurious perennial weed of Alismataceae family, grown in paddy fields, swamps and ditches), bulrush (Scirpus juncoids Roxb. var Hotarui Ohwi, a perennial weed of Cyperaceae family, grown in paddy fields, swamps and ditches); and annual and perennial weeds grown in upland fields and orchards, for example, wild oats (Avena fatua L., an annual weed of Gramineae family, grown in plains, waste lands and upland fields), mugwort (Artemisia princeps Pamp., a perennial weed of Compositae family, grown in cultivated and uncultivated fields), large crabgrass (Digitaraia adscendcue Henr., an annual weed of Gramineae family which is a typical strongly injurious weed grown in upland fields and orchards), curly dock (Rumex japonicus Houttuyn, a perennial weed of Polygonaceae family, grown in upland fields and on roadsides), umbrella sedge (Cyperus iria L., an annual weed of Cyperaceae family, grown in upland fields and on roadsides), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus varidis L., an annual weed of Amaranthaceae family grown in upland fields, vacant lands and roadsides), and cocklebur (Xanthium strumarium L., an annual weed of Compositae family, strongly injurious to soybeans).
Since, the triazolin-5-one derivatives represented by the above general formula (I) exhibit excellent controlling effects against weeds of both pre-and post-emergence stages, they are useful, for example, as herbicides for soil treatment before and after seeding (planting), for soil treatment in the growth period, for foliar treatment before seeding (planting), for foliar treatment in the growth period of useful upland crops such as soybeans, cotton, corns and the like. Furthermore, the compounds of this invention are useful as herbicides applying at the pre-emegence stage and the post-emergence stage of weeds in paddy fields, moreover, they are useful as herbicides to control general weeds grown in for example, mowed fields, paddy fields and upland fields in fallow, ridges between paddy fields, agricultural pathways, waterways, pasture, graveyards, parks, roads, playgrounds, unoccupied areas around buildings, reclaimed lands, railways and forests. Herbicidal treatments of such areas are carried out most effectively and economically when weeds are not emergent but not necessarily be done prior to the emergence of weeds.
For applying the compounds of the present invention as herbicides, they are generally formulated, according to conventional procedures for preparing agricultural compositions, into a form convenient to use.
That is to say, said compounds are mixed with suitable inert carriers and, if necessary, further mixed with adjuvants, in a suitable ratio, and through dissolution, dispersion, suspension, mechanical mixing, impregnation, adsorption or adhesion, to make to mixture into a suitable form of composition, e.g., suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates, solutions, wettable powders, dusts, granules or tablets.
The inert carriers usable in this invention may be either solid or liquid. As materials usable as the solid carriers, there can be examplified, for example, vegetable powders such as soybean flour, cereal flour, wood flour, bark flour, saw dust, powdered tobaco stalks, powdered walnut shell, bran, powdered cellulose, and extraction residues of vegetables; fibrous materials such as paper, corrugated paperboard, and waste cloths; synthetic polymers such as powdered synthetic resins; inorganic or mineral products such as clays (e.g., kaolin, bentonite and acid clay), talc products (e.g., talc and pyrophyllite), silica products [e.g., diatomaceous earth, silica sand, mica and white carbon (a highly dispersed synthetic silicic acid, also called as finely pulverized hydrated silica or hydrated silicic acid, and some commercially available products contain calcium silicate as the major component)], activated carbon, powdered sulfur, pumice, calcined diatomaceous earth, ground brick, fly ash, sand, calcium carbonate, and calcium phosphates; chemical fertilizers such as ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphates, ammonium nitrate, urea, and ammonium chloride, and farmyard manures. These solid carriers may be used alone or as a mixture thereof. Materials usable as the liquid carriers are selected from those which are solvents for the active ingredients and those which are non-solvnet but can disperse the active ingredients with the aid of adjuvants. They include, for example, the following materials, which may be used alone or as a mixture thereof: water, alcohols (e.g., methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, and ethylene glycol), ketones (e.g., acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone), ethers (e.g., ethyl ether, dioxane, cellosolves, dipropyl ether, and tetraphydrofuran), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., gasoline and mineral oils), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzene, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha, and alkylnaphthalene), halogenated hydrocarbones (e.g., dichloroethane, chlorinated benzenes, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride), esters (e.g., ethyl acetate, dibutyl phthalate, diisopropyl phthanate, and dioctyl phthalate), acid amides (e.g., dimethylformamide, diethylformamide, and dimethylacetamide), and nitriles (e.g., acetonitrile), and dimethyl sulfoxide.
As the adjuvants, the following can be examplified. These adjuvants are used depending on purposes. In some cases, two or more of the adjuvants are simultaneously used. In some other cases, no adjuvant is used at all. For the purpose of emulsification, dispersion, solubilization and/or wetting of the active ingredients, there can be used furface active agents, for example, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene higher fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene resinates, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, alkylarylsulfonates, naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products, ligninsulfonates, and higher alcohol sulfate esters. For the purpose of stabilizing the dispersion, tackification and/or agglomeration of the active ingredients, the following materials may be use, for example, casein, gelatin, starch, alginic acid, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, pine root oil, rice bran oil, bentonite and ligninsulfonates.
For the purpose of improving the flowability of the solid compositions, it is recommendable to use waxes, stearates, alkyl phosphates, etc.
As to peptizers for dispersible compositions, it is also recommendable to use naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products, condensed phosphates, etc.
It is also possible to add anti-foaming agents, for example, a silicone oil.
The content of the active ingredients in the herbicidal composition may be adjusted depending on the applications. In general, it is suitably 0.5 to 20% by weight for preparing a powdered or granulated product, and 0.1 to 50% by weight for preparing an emulsifiable concentrate or a wettable powder product.
For destroying various weeds, inhibiting their growth, or protecting useful plants from the injury caused by these weeds, the herbicidal composition of the present invention is applied in a weed-destroying dosage or a weed growth inhibiting dosage as such or after being properly diluted with or suspended in water or in other suitable medium, to the soil or the foliage of weeds in the area where the emergence or growth of weeds is undesirable.
The amount of the herbicidal composition of the present invention used is varied depending on various factors, for example, the purpose of application, the objective weeds, the emergence or growth state of weeds and crops, the emergence tendency of weeds, weather, environmental conditions, the type of herbicidal formulations, the way of application, the type of the field to be treated, and the time of application and others.
When the herbicidal composition of this invention is applied alone as a selective herbicide, it is suitable, for example, to select the dosage of the compound of this invention in the range of 0.1 to 500 g per 10 ares. On the other hand, when the herbicidal composition of this invention is applied together with other herbicides, the dosage of the compound of this invention can be selected in a still smaller dosage range when it is taken into consideration that said composition is often effective in a smaller dosage than when it is used alone.
Herbicidal composition of the present invention is especially valuable for the pre-emergence treatment and initial emergence stage treatment of upland fields and for the control of weeds at pre-emergence stage and post-emergence stage in paddy fields. In order to expand both spectrum of controllable weed species and the period of time when effective applications are possible or to reduce the dosage, the herbicidal composition of the present invention can be used in combination with other herbicides, and this usage is within the scope of the present invention. For example, herbicidal composition of the present invention can be used in combination with one or more of the following herbicides: phenoxy fatty acid type herbicides, for example, 2,4-PA (e.g., ethyl (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate), MCP (e.g., ethyl (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate, sodium (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate, and allyl (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)acetate), MCPB (ethyl (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy)butyrate), and Diclofop-methyl (methyl 2-[4-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenoxy]propanoate); diphenyl ether type herbicides, for example, NIP (2,4-dichlorophenyl-4'-nitrophenyl ether), CNP (2,4,6-trichlorophenyl-4'-nitrophenyl ether), Chlomethoxynil (2,4-dichlorophenyl-3'-methoxy-4'-nitrophenyl ether), Acifluorgen [5-(2-chloro-.alpha.,.alpha.,.alpha.-trifluoro-p-tolyloxy)-2-nitrobenzoic acid and its salts], and Fluazifop-butyl (butyl (.+-.)-2-[4-[[5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridyl]oxy]phenoxy]propionate); triazine type herbicides, for example, CAT (2-chloro-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine), Prometryne (2-methylthio-4,6-bis(isopropylamino)-s-triazine, Simetryne (2-methylthio-4,6-bis(ethylamino)-s-triazine), and Metribuzin (4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-methylthio-1,2,4-tirazin-5(4H)-one); carbamate type herbicides, for example, Molinate (s-ethyl hexahydro-1H-azepine-1-carbothioate), MCC (methyl N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)carbamate), IPC (isopropyl N-(3-chlorophenyl)carbamate), and Benthiocarb (s-(4-chlorobenzyl)dimethylthiocarbamate); toluidine type herbicides, for example, Triefluraline (.alpha.,.alpha., .alpha.-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-p-toluidine) and Pendimethaline (N-(1-ethylpropyl)-2,6-dinitro-3,4-xylidine); Acid amide type herbicides, for example, DCPA (3,4-dichloropropionanilide), Butachlor (2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(butoxymethyl)-acetanilide), Alachlor (2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(methoxyethyl)acetanilide), Metolachlor (2-chloro-N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-methoxy-1-methylethyl)acetamide), and Pretilachlor (2-chloro-2',6'-diethyl-N-(2-propoxyethyl)acetanilide); and other types of herbicides, for example, DCMU (3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea), Bentazon (3-isopropyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiazin-4(3H)-one-2,2-dioxide), Pyrazolate (4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-1,3-dimethylpyrazol-5-yl-p-toluenesulfonate), Pyrazoxyfen (1,3-dimethyl-4-(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl)-5-phenacyloxypyrazol), and MY-71 (4-(2,4-dichloro-3-methylbenzoyl)-1,3-dimethylpyrazol-5-yl-p-toluenesulfonate).

Test Example 3
Effect on upland field weeds of pre-emergence stage
Polyethylene vats, having 10.times.20.times.5 cm (depth) size, were filled with soil and seeded with oats, barnyard grass, large crabgrass, redroot pigweed, mugwort, curly dock, umbrella sedge and cocklebur, respectively, which were all upland field weeds, and the seeds were covered with soil.
