As the effective ingredient of the herbicide, the substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt of the present invention, as will be evident from the test examples given hereinafter, exhibits a wide herbicidal spectrum at a low dosage while it shows safety on soybean, wheat, cotton, etc.
The herbicide of the present invention can be applied to a wide variety of sites including agricultural fields such as upland fields, orchards and mulberry fields, and non-agricultural fields such as forests, farm roads, playgrounds and factory sites. The method of application of the herbicide of the present invention can be arbitrarily chosen from a soil treatment application and a foliage treatment application. The herbicide of the present invention may be applied in the form of a formulation such as a dust, granules, water-dispersible granules, a wettable powder, an emulsifiable concentrate, a soluble concentrate, and a suspension concentrate, which is prepared by blending the substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt of the present invention as the effective ingredient usually with a carrier and, if necessary, further with various other adjuvants selected from among diluents, solvents, emulsifiers, spreaders, surfactants, etc. The suitable blending weight ratio of the effective ingredient to the agricultural adjuvants may be in the range of 1:99 to 90:10, preferably in the range of 5:95 to 80:20. The suitable amount of the effective ingredient to be used cannot be unequivocally determined because it varies depending on weather conditions, soil conditions, the form of the above-mentioned formulation, the kinds of object weeds, and the application season, However, the amount of the effective ingredient to be applied is generally in the range of 0,005 g to 50 g/a (are), preferably in the range of 0.01 to 10 g/a, more preferably in the range of 0.05 to 5 g/a.
The herbicide of the present invention may be used in mixture or combination with at least one ingredient or component selected from among other agricultural chemicals, agricultural adjuvants, phytotoxicity-reducing agents, etc. to sometimes exhibit improvements in effect and functions. The herbicide of the present invention may be used in mixture or combination with at least one other compound as an effective ingredient of herbicide, in which case a synergistic effect can sometimes be attained.
The other compound may be formulated together with the compound of the present invention, or its own preparation may be mixed with the herbicide of the present invention upon use.

TEST EXAMPLE 8
1/10000-are pot was filled with upland farming soil and sown with velvet leaf (Abutilon theophrasti). When the plant reached the 1.2-leaf stage, a predetermined amount of the herbicide of the present invention diluted with 5 l of water per are and admixed with 0.1 vol %, based on the aqueous solution, of an agricultural spreader ("Kusa Rino", produced by Nihon Nohyaku Co., Ltd.) was foliarly applied to the plant with a small spray gun. The herbicidal effect was visually observed 25 days after the foliar application and evaluated according to the rating system shown below. The results obtained are shown in Table 10.

TEST EXAMPLE 9
1/10000-are pot was filled with upland farming soil and sown with velvet leaf. When the plant reached the 1-leaf stage, a predetermined amount of the herbicide of-the present invention diluted with 5 l of water per are and admixed with 0.1 vol %, based on the aqueous solution, of an agricultural spreader ("Kusa Rino") was foliarly applied to the plant with a small spray gun. On the 20th day from the application, the aerial part of the plant was weighed to obtain a percent growth inhibition according to Equation (1) (found value) and a Colby's value (calculated value) according to Equation (2) (see Weed, Vol. 15, pp. 20-22 (1967)). The results obtained are shown in Table 11 below. ##EQU1##
Wherein .alpha. represents a percent growth inhibition when treated with an amount a (g/a) of herbicide A; .beta. represents a percent growth inhibition when treated with amount b (g/a) of herbicide B; and E represents an expected percent growth inhibition when treated with a of herbicide A and b of herbicide B.
That is, if a percent growth inhibition (found value) is higher than a Colby's value (calculated value) by the above-mentioned calculation, it can be said that the activity brought by the combination of herbicides exhibits a synergistic action.
