Thiadiazabicyclononane derivatives and herbicidal compositions

The present invention relates to 9-phenylimino-8-thia-1,6-diazabicyclo-[4.3.0]nonan-7-one derivatives and herbicidal compositions containing them.
In recent years, a number of herbicides have been developed and actually used, and they have contributed to the reduction of the agricultural work load and to the improvement of the productivity. As a herbicide having a hetero ring, oxadiazon [i.e. 5-t-butyl-3-(2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2-one] is widely used. However, oxadiazon is likely to bring about phytotoxicity, when used in paddy fields, and it is not effective against perennial weeds, particularly against Sagittaria pygmaea. When used in upland fields, it is not so safe against crop plants such as corn or soybean and has drawbacks that its herbicidal activities are low against hardly controllable weeds such as cocklebur or morning-glory and against pigweed and lambsquarters. Accordingly, a development of a herbicide having improved herbicidal activities and safety has been desired.
Under the circumstances, the present inventors have conducted extensive researches with an aim to develop a herbicide which satisfies the following conditions, and have finally accomplished the present invention.
(1) It is effective at a low dose.
(2) It is effective against paddy filed weeds and (or) against upland field weeds.
(3) It is also effective against perennial weeds and (or) hardly controllable weeds.
(4) It is effective in a wide range covering the germination stage to the growing stage.
(5) It has excellent residual effects and can be expected to provide stabilized effects.
(6) It is highly safe to crop plants.
Thus, the present invention provides a thiadiazabicyclononane derivative having the formula: ##STR5## wherein X is hydrogen or halogen such as chlorine, bromine, fluorine or iodine, R.sup.1 is hydrogen or alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkyl, more preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sup.2 is alkenyloxy, preferably C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkenyloxy, alkynyloxy, preferably C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkynyloxy, alkylthio, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkylthio, more preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkylthio, halogen-substituted alkoxy, preferably halogen-substituted C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 alkoxy, alkoxycarbonylalkoxy, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxycarbonyl C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy, .alpha.,.alpha.-dimethylbenzylamino, --OC.sub.2 H.sub.4 S(O).sub.l R.sup.3 (wherein R.sup.3 is alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or phenyl, and l is an integer of 0 or 2), ##STR6## (wherein Y is halogen, alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, alkoxy, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or nitro, R.sup.4 is hydrogen or alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl and each of m and n is an integer of 0, 1 or 2), --OC.sub.2 H.sub.4 OR.sub.5 (wherein R.sup.5 is phenyl, benzyl or methoxyalkyl, preferably methoxy C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl), --OCH.sub.2 R.sup.6 (wherein R.sup.6 is styryl, cyanoalkyl, tetrahydrofuran-2-yl, thienyl or pyridin-2-yl), ##STR7## (wherein R.sup.7 is alkyl, preferably C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, or phenyl)

TEST EXAMPLE 4
Herbicidal and phytotoxicity tests in soil treatment of paddy field
Into a 1/5,000 a Wagner pot, paddy field soil was filled and puddled, and water was introduced thereto. In the pot, three germinated tubers of sagittaria (Sa) were embeded in the surface layer of the soil, and seeds of water plantain (Al) were sown. Further, two rice plants of 2.5 leaf stage were transplanted in a depth of 2 cm. Then, water was introduced to a depth of 3 cm. Next day, a prescribed amount of wettable powder formulated in accordance with Formulation Example 1, was diluted with water and dropwise applied to the water surface. Then, the pot was left in a green house, and 30 days after the application, the herbicidal effect and phytotoxicity were evaluated in accordance with the standards identified in Table 2. The results are shown in Tables 7 and 8.

TEST EXAMPLE 5
Selectivity test for soybean
Into a 120 cm.sup.2 plastic pot, upland field soil was filled, and seeds of soybean (Gl), cocklebur (Xa) and morning-glory (Ip) were sown. After cultivating in a green house for 14 days, a prescribed amount of a wettable powder formulated in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water in an amount of 100 liter/10 a and applied to the foliage of the plants from above by a small size spray. After the application, the pot was left in a green house for 21 days, and then the herbicidal effects and phytotoxicity were evaluated in accordance with the standards identified in Table 2. The results are shown in Tables 9 and 10.
In the table, symbol "-" means that the test was not conducted.
