[0050] In order to control various disease pests, the composition for noxious organisms-controlling agent of the present invention is applied to the plants on which appearance of the noxious organisms is expected, either as it is or in the form of a dilution or suspension in a proper quantity of water or the like at a dosage effective for the control of the noxious organisms. For instance, with the aim of controlling the appearance of noxious organisms on fruit trees, cereals and vegetables, the composition may be directly used for foliage treatment, or the composition may also be used for seed treatments such as immersion of seeds in the agent solution, seed coating, calper treatment or the like, or absorption from the root by soil treatment or the like, such as incorporation into total soil layer, row treatment, soil incorporation, cell seedling treatment, prickling-in-hole treatment, plant foot treatment, top dressing, nursery box application of rice, submerged application, etc. In addition, application of the composition to the nutrient solution in the water culture, the use by fumigation, and the injection into tree stalks, etc. are also usable.

[0051] Further, apart from the spraying treatment on stored grain pests, house pests, sanitary insect pests and forest pests, application to construction material of house, fumigation, bait, etc. are also adoptable.

[0052] As the method of treating seeds, a method of dipping seeds in a diluted or undiluted liquid preparation of the liquid or solid composition and thereby making the agent permeate into the seeds; a method of mixing a solid or liquid preparation with seeds for the sake of powder coating and thereby making the agent adhere to the seed surface; a method of mixing the preparation with an adhesive carrier such as resin, polymer or the like and coating seeds with such an adhesive mixture; a method of spraying the preparation to the neighborhood of seeds simultaneously with planting, etc. can be referred to.

[0053] The term “seed” to be treated with the composition of the present invention means a plant body of the initial stage of cultivation used for reproduction of plants, and involves not only the seeds but also plant bodies for nutrient reproduction such as bulb, tuber, seed tuber, aerial tuber, scaly bulb, stalks for cuttage, and the like.

[0054] The term “soil” or “cultivation carrier” for plants in the practice of the using method of the present invention means a support for use in culture of a plant and especially a support in which roots are to be grown. They are not limited in material quality, but any material may be used so far as a plant can be grown therein. For instance, so-called various soils, nursery mat, water and the like can be used. Specific examples of the material constituting the soil or cultivation carrier include sand, pumice, vermiculite, diatomaceous earth, agar, gelatinous materials, polymeric materials, rock wool, glass wool, wood chips, bark and the like.

[0055] As method for spraying the composition to foliage part of crops or stored grain pest, sanitary insect pest, forest pest, etc., a method of diluting a liquid preparation such as emulsifiable concentrate, flowable agent and the like or a solid preparation such as wettable preparation, granular wettable preparation and the like with water properly and spraying the dilution, a method of spraying a powdery composition, a method of fumigation, etc. can be referred to.

[0056] As method for applying the composition to the soil, a method of applying a liquid preparation either diluted or undiluted with water to the plant foot, nursery bed for raising seedlings or the like, a method of spraying a granular agent to the plant foot or nursery bed, a method of spraying a dust, a wettable powder, a wettable granule or a granular agent to the soil and mixing it with the whole soil either before seeding or before transplantation, a method of spraying a dust, a wettable powder, a wettable granule, a granular agent or the like to planting holes, planting rows, etc can be referred to.

[0057] As method for applying the composition to a nursery box of paddyfield rice, a method of applying the composition in the form of dust, granular wettable powder, granule, etc. can be referred to, though the preparation form may vary depending on the time of application, namely whether the application is carried out in sowing period, greening period or transplanting period. It is also possible to apply the composition in the form of a mixture with soil, as in the form of mixture of soil and a dust, a granular wettable powder or a granule, according to a method of mixing into bed soil, covering soil, or the whole soil. It is also possible to apply the composition by merely making the soil and various preparations into layers.

[0058] For applying the composition of the present invention to a paddy field, a solid preparation such as jumbo-pack, granule, wettable granule, and the like or a liquid preparation such as flowable, emulsifiable concentrate and the like is scattered to a paddy field usually in a submerged state. Otherwise, it is also possible to scatter or inject an appropriate agent as it is or in the form of a mixture with fertilizers into soil at the time of transplantation. It is further possible to apply an emulsifiable concentrate to the water inlet or water flow source of irrigating system, by which the composition can be applied together with water supplied to the paddy field in a labor-saving manner.

[0059] In case of upland field crops, the composition of the present invention may be applied to the cultivation carrier surrounding the seeds or plant bodies in the period from the seeding to the seedling raising. In cases where plant seeds are directly sown to the field, the composition may directly be applied to seeds to make a seed coating, or may also be applied to the base of hills in the course of cultivation to achieve a successful result. It is also possible to scatter a granular preparation or to apply a liquid preparation after dilution with water or without dilution. Another preferable treatment is to mix a granular preparation with a cultivation carrier before seeding and to sow seeds thereafter.

[0060] In cases where cultured plants to be transplanted are treated at the seeding time or in the seedling raising period, it is preferable to treat the seeds directly, or to carry out an irrigating treatment of a seedling raising bed with a liquefied agent, or to carry out a powdering treatment thereof with a granular agent. Further, it is also preferable to apply a granular agent to the planting holes at the time of set-planting or to mix the agent into the cultivation carrier in the neighborhood of the sites of transplantation.

[0061] The composition for noxious organisms-controlling agent of the present invention may be put to use after forming it into a usual preparation form, such as emulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, granular wettable powder, flowable preparation, solution, granule, dust, fumigant and the like. Although the dosage thereof varies depending on the content of active ingredient in the composition, climate conditions, preparation form, method of application, place of application, objective noxious organism to be controlled, objective crop plant, etc. The dosage may be appropriately selected from a range of 0.1 gram to 1,000 grams and preferably 1 gram to 500 grams in terms of weight of active ingredient, per are of the field. In the case of seed treatment, it is possible to use the composition in an amount of 0.01-50% and preferably in an amount of 0.1-10% in terms of weight of active ingredient, based on the weight of seed. In cases where an emulsifiable concentrate or a wettable powder is diluted with water and then put to use, the concentration at the time of application is 0.00001-0.1%. In the cases of a granular preparation, a dust, and a liquid composition to be applied to seeds, the composition is directly applied without dilution, usually.

[0062] For the purpose of controlling the diseases and/or the weeds which appear simultaneously with the time of the application of the composition for noxious organisms-controlling agent of the present invention, the second active ingredient of the present invention, namely the compound having an insecticidal, acaricidal or nematocidal activity, may be replaced with a compound having a fungicidal or herbicidal activity. By taking such a measure, the span of objective disease and pests to be controlled can be expanded and the dosage can be reduced, and the herbicidal effect can be increased synergistically. The same effect as above can be expected also by adding a compound having a fungicidal or herbicidal activity to the composition for noxious organisms-controlling agent of the present invention and putting the mixture thus obtained to use.

Test Example 2

Insecticidal Test on Green Peach Aphid (Myzus Persicae)

[0103] Chinese cabbage plants (variety: Aichi) were planted in plastic pots having a diameter of 8 cm and a height of 8 cm, on which green peach aphids were inoculated. Then, a solution of an agent which had been diluted to a predetermined concentration was thoroughly sprayed to the leaves and stalks. After air-dryness, the pots were left to stand in a green house. Six days after the spraying treatment, the number of the insects parasitic on each Chinese cabbage plant was counted, from which the control value was calculated according to the following equation. The test was carried out with two replications on one pot per one plot.

Controlling value=100−{(Ta×Cb)/(Tb×Ca)}×100

[0104] Ta: Number of parasitic insects after spraying in the treated plot

[0105] Tb: Number of parasitic insects before spraying in the treated plot

[0106] Ca: Number of parasitic insects after spraying in the untreated plot

[0107] Cb: Number of parasitic insects before spraying in the untreated plot

[0108] The results are shown in Table 3.

Insecticidal Test on Brown Rice Planthopper (Nilaparvata Lugens)

[0109] Rice seedlings (variety: Nihombare) were dipped in a solution of an agent diluted to a predetermined concentration for 30 seconds. After air-dryness, each seedling was introduced into a glass-made test tube having a diameter of 1.8 cm and a height of 20 cm, and inoculated with ten 3rd inster nimphs of brown rice planthopper. Then, the test tube was stoppered with cotton. One day after and four days after the treatment., the number of alive insects was counted, based on which the insect death rate was calculated. The test was carried out with two replications of 10 heads.

Insecticidal Test on Resistant Strain of Two-Spotted Spider Mite

[0111] A plastic-made cup having a diameter of 8 cm was filled with water and covered with a lid having a hole having a diameter of 1 cm. A notched filter paper was placed over the lid, and a part of the filter paper was hung down from the lid into the water to maintain the filter paper always in a wet state by the capillary phenomenon.

[0112] A leaf disk prepared from the first leaves of kidney bean (variety: Topcrop) was placed on the filter paper, and inoculated with 10 female adults of resistant strain of two-spotted spider mite. On a turn table, 50 ml of an agent solution diluted to a predetermined concentration was uniformly sprayed. After the spraying treatment, the whole was left to stand in a thermostatted chamber at 25° C.

[0113] Two days after the spraying treatment, the number of alive spider mites were counted, based on which the spider mites death rate were calculated. The test was carried out with two replications of 10 adults. The results are shown in Table 5.

Test for the Effect on Southern Root-Knot Nematode (Meloidogyne Incognita)

[0114] Two killograms of a soil polluted with southern root-knot nematode was blended with a predetermined dose of a granular preparation. The mixture was filled into a {fraction (1/5,000)} are Wagner pot. After sowing melon seeds and carrying out the treatment of the present invention, the pot was left to stand in a greenhouse. Sixty days after the treatment, 25 g of the soil was sampled out, the nematode was separated therefrom according to the method of Berman, and the numbers of nematodes were counted after 48 hours. The test was carried out with two replications, on one pot/group.

[0115] The results are shown in Table 6. In the tables, “ai” means active ingredient.

Test for the Control of Diamondback Moth (Plutella Xyloxtella) and Aphid on Cabbage by Soil Treatment

[0126] A granular preparation was mixed into bed soil, and the mixture was filled into a cell seedling box and sown with seeds of cabbage (variety: YR Seitoku). Otherwise, cell seedling planted cabbage was treated with the granular agent either by a treatment in the foliage leaf extraction period, or by a pretransplanting treatment, or by a pricking-in hole treatment, or by a plant foot treatment after the planting. Twenty one days after the transplanting (in the middle of June), the number of parasitic insects was counted on 30 hills in the case of diamondback moth and on 10 hills in the case of aphid.

[0127] The results are shown in Table 9.

Test for the Control of Citrus Yellow Thrips (Frankliniella Occidentalis) on Egg Plant by the Combined Use with Natural Enemy Pesticide

[0130] An agent solution diluted to a predetermined concentration was sprayed by means of a shouldered spraying machine to citrus yellow thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) parasitic on egg-plant (variety: Senryo No. 2) in a vinyl house. After air-dryness, 100 heads per hill of Amblyseius cucumeris were let inoculate. Fourteen days, twenty one days and twenty eight days after the treatment, the numbers of citrus yellow thrips and Amblyseius cucumeris were counted on twenty leaves showing a most serious injury (the first ten days of June).

Test for the Control of Rice Leafroller (Cnaphalocrocis Medinalis), Rice Blast, Barnyard Grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) and Bulrush (Scirpus Juncoides Roxb.) on Paddyfield Rice Plant by Submerged Application to Main Paddyfield

[0132] Ten days after the transplantation (in the middle ten days of May), a granular preparation was applied to water surface of main paddyfield. The controlling effect on rice leafroller was evaluated by counting the injured leaves on each plot (100 hills) 50 days after the transplantation, and calculating the percentage of injured leaves therefrom. The effect against rice blast was evaluated by measuring the areal rate of disease spot 60 days after the transplantation. The effects against barnyard grass and bulrush were evaluated by measuring the herbicidal effect by the naked eye four weeks after the treatment and expressing the result by numerically (0 means “no effect”, and 10 means “complete withering”). At the same time, the chemical injury on rice plant was also evaluated (0 means “no influence”).

[0133] The results are shown in Table 12.
