Namely, the weeds also include any of weeds that have a reduced sensitivity to a specific herbicide. The reduced sensitivity may be attributed to a mutation at a target site (target site mutations), or may be attributed to any factors other than target site mutation (non-target site mutations). The factors reducing sensitivity by non- target site mutations include metabolic enhancement, defective absorption, defective transition, and efflux out of the system, etc. A cause of the metabolic enhancement includes an enhanced activity of metabolic enzymes such as cytochrome P450 monooxygenases, aryl acylamidases, esterases and glutathione S-transferase. The efflux out of the system includes the transfer to a vacuole by an ABC transporter. Examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include, for example, weeds having one or more of the following amino acid substitutions in ALS gene. Ala122Thr, Ala122Val, Ala122Tyr, Pro197Ser, Pro197His, Pro197Thr, Pro197Arg, Pro197Leu, Pro197G1n, Pro197Ala, Pro19711e, Ala205Val, A1a205Phe, Asp376G1u, Arg377His, Trp574Leu, Trp574Gly, Trp574Met, Ser653Thr, Ser653Thr, Ser653Asn, Ser63511e, Gly654G1u, Gly645Asp. Also, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target = . CA 03030579 2019-01-10 S41708 29 site mutations include one or more of the following amino acid substitutions in ACCase gene. Ile1781Leu, Ile1781Val, Ile1781Thr, Trp1999Cys, Trp1999Leu, Ala2004Val, Trp2027Cys, Ile2041Asn, Ile2041Val, Asp2078Gly, Cys2088Arg, Gly2096A1a, Gly2096Ser. Further, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include AGly210 in PPX2L gene and Arg98Leu mutation in PPX1 gene. In particular, the present invention can efficiently control PPO inhibitors-resistant hiyumodoki (tall waterhemp; Amaranthus tuberculatos) and PPO inhibitors-resistant ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus palmeri) which have AGly210 mutation in PPX2L gene and PPO inhibitors-resistant butakusa (common ragweed; Ambrosia artemisiaefolia) which has Arg98Leu in PPX1 gene. Moreover, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site mutations include amino acid substitutions such as Thr102Ile, Pro106Ser, Pro106A1a and Pro106Leu in EPSP gene. In particular, the present invention can efficiently control glyphosate-resistant ohishiba (goosegrass; Eleusine indica), glyphosate-resistant nezumimugi (Italian ryegrass; Lolium multiflorum), glyphosate-resistant bomugi (rigid ryegrass; Lolium rigidum), glyphosate-resistant susukimehishiba (sourgrass; Digitaria insularis), glyphosate-resistant hiyumodoki (tall waterhemp; Amaranthus tuberculatos), and glyphosate-resistant kohimebie (jungle rice; Echinochloa CA 03030579 2019-01-10 S41708 colonum) which have one or both of the amino acid substitutions. Similarly, examples of the reduced sensitivity in weeds caused by the target site include weeds having the increased copy numbers of EPSP gene, and in 5 particular, the present invention can efficiently control glyphosate-resistant ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus palmeri), glyphosate-resistant hiyumodoki (tall waterhemp; Amaranthus tuberculatos) and glyphosate-resistant hokigi (kochia; Kochia scoparia) which have the mutation. 10 The present invention can also efficiently control himemukashiyomogi (marestail; Conyza canadensis), oarechinogiku (Guernsey fleabane; Conyza sumatrensis) and arechinogiku (fleabane; Conyza bonariensis) having the resistance to glyphosate related to ABC transporters. 15 [0036] Examples of the herbicide which may be incorporated to the present composition besides the compound X and pyroxasulfone include the following.

The fertilization system may be based on Precision Agriculture or may be conventionally uniform one. EXAMPLES [0041] The present invention is described by Examples, but the present invention should not be limited thereto. [0042] Firstly, the criteria for assesing each of an efficacy on controlling harmful arthropods, an efficacy on controlling plant pathogens, a herbicidal efficacy and a crop injury which are shown in the below examples are shown. [Efficacy on controlling harmful arthropods] In the assessment of efficacy on controlling harmful arthropods, the life and death of insects at the time of the investigation is determined and the controlling value is calculated by the following equation. Controlling value (%) = 100 x (1-TIC) wherein the characters in the equation represent the following meanings. C: Number of the insects at the time of the observation in untreated area CA 03030579 2019-01-10 = S41708 44 T: Number of the insects at the time of the observation in treated area [00431 [Efficacy on controlling plant pathogens] In the assessment of efficacy on controlling plant pathogens, the efficacy is defined as "0" if the disease symptom by plant pathogens indicates little or no difference compared to that in the case of no treatment at the time of the investigation. The efficacy is defined as "100" if the disease symptom by plant pathogens is little or not observed. Hence, the efficacy is classfied as "0 to 100". [0044] [Herbicidal efficacy and Crop injury] In the assessment of herbicidal efficacy, the efficacy is defined as "0" if the state of budding or growth of test weeds indicates little or no difference compared to that in the case of no treatment at the time of the investigation. The efficacy is defined as "100" if test weeds are completely dead or the budding or growth of test weeds is completely prevented. Hence, the efficacy is classfied as "0 to 100". In the assessment of crop injuries, the injury is defined as "harmless" if a harmful effect is little observed. The injury is defined as "small" if a mild harmful effect is observed. The injury is defined as "medium" if a moderate harmful effect is observed. The injury is defined as "large" = . CA 03030579 2019-01-10 = ' S41708 if a severe harmful effect is observed. [0045] Example 1 The weeds (ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus 5 palmeri), hosobainubiyu (common waterhemp; Amaranthus rudis), butakusa (common ragweed; Ambrosia artemisiaefolia), obutakusa (giant ragweed; Ambrosia trifida), himemukashiyomogi (marestail; Conyza canadensis), shiroza (common lambsquarters; Chenopodium album), hokigi (kochia; 10 Kochia scoparia), inubie (common barnyardgrass; Echinochloa crus-galli), and akinoenokorogusa (giant foxtail; Setaria faberi)) are seeded to a plastic pot. On the same day, 20 g/ha of the compound X and 280 g/ha of SAKURA (pyroxasulfone 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI 15 CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.) are applied to the surface of soil at the sprayed water amount of 200 L/ha. The plants are then cultivated in a greenhouse, and at seven days after the application, soybeans are seeded. Fourteen days after seeding the soybeans, the effects on the weeds and crop 20 injuries on the soybeans are investigated. A synergistic weed control effect compared to the single use of each of the compounds is confirmed. [0046] Example 2 25 The weeds (ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus . .

On the same day, 80 g/ha of the compound X and 140 g/ha of SAKURA (pyroxasulfone 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.) are applied to the surface of soil at the sprayed water amount of 200 L/ha. The plants are then grown in a greenhouse, and 21 days after the application, the effects on the weeds and crop injuries on soybeans are investigated. A synergistic weed control effect compared to the single use of each of the compounds is confirmed. [0047] Example 3 The weeds (ohonagaaogeito (Palmer amaranth; Amaranthus palmeri), hosobainubiyu (common waterhemp; Amaran thus rudis), butakusa (common ragweed; Ambrosia artemisiaefolia), obutakusa (giant ragweed; Ambrosia trifida), himemukashiyomogi (marestail; Conyza canadensis), shiroza (common lambsquarters; Chenopodium album), hokigi (kochia; Kochia scoparia), inubie (common barnyardgrass; Echinochloa crus-galli), and akinoenokorogusa (giant foxtail; Setaria faberi)) and soybeans are seeded to a plastic pot. The plants are then grown in a greenhouse, and 21 days after 84990302 47 seeding, 20 g/ha of the compound X and 140 g/ha of SAKURA (pyroxasulfone 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.) are applied to the foliage at the sprayed water amount of 200 L/ha. The plants are then grown in a greenhouse, and 14 days after the application, the effects on the weeds and crop injuries on soybeans are investigated. A synergistic weed control effect compared to the single use of each of the compounds is confirmed. [0048] Example 4 Similar procedures to those in Examples 1 to 3 are performed, replacing soybeans with corns or cottons. [0049] Example 5 NipsItTM (clothianidin 600 g/L, manufactured by Valent U.S.A. LLC) is applied to seeds of soybeans (variety: Genuity RoundupReady2Yield soybean) so that the application rate of NipsIt may be 206 mL/kg seeds (1.28 fluid ounce/100 pond seeds). The formulation containing the compound X (the emulsifiable concentrate prepared by well-mixing 5 parts by weight of compound X, 2 parts by weight of Geronol FF/4-E (manufactured by Rhodia), 8 parts by weight of Geronol FF/6-E (manufactured by Rhodia) and 85 parts by weight of SolvessoTm 200 (manufactured by Exxon Mobile Corporation); hereinafter, referring to as "formulation X") and SAKURA (pyroxasulfone Date Recite/Date Received 2023-12-12 = r CA 03030579 2019-01-10 S ' S41708 48 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.) are mixed with water, followed by applying to the field before seeding the soybeans so that the application rate of the compound X may be 5, 20, or 80 g/ha, and the application rate of pyroxasulfone may be 119 g/ha. Seven days after the application, the soybeans are seeded at the field. At three true leaf stage of the soybeans, RoundupWeatherMax (glyphosate potassium salt 660g/L, manufactured by Monsanto Company) is applied to the field so that the application rate may be 2.338 L/ha (32 fluid ounce/acre). [0050] Example 6 NipsIt is applied to the seeds of soybean in the same manner as Example 5.

[0051] Example 7 NipsIt is applied to the seeds of soybean in the same manner as Example 5, followed by seeding to a field. On the next day of the seeding, the formulation X and SAKURA (pyroxasulfone 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.) are applied to the field so that the application rate of the compound X may be 5, 20, or 80 g/ha, and the application rate of pyroxasulfone may be 119 g/ha. At three true leaf stage of the soybeans, RoundupWeatherMax (glyphosate potassium salt 660 g/L, manufactured by Monsanto Company) is applied to the field so that the application rate may be 2.338 L/ha (32 fluid ounce/acre). [0052] Example 8 NipsIt is applied to the seeds of soybean in the same manner as Example 5, followed by seeding to a field. On the next day of the seeding, the formulation X, SAKURA (pyroxasulfone 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.) and RoundupWeatherMax are applied to the field so that the application rate of the 84990302 compound X may be 5, 20, or 80 g/ha, the application rate of pyroxasulfone may be 119 g/ha, and the application rate of RoundupWeatherMax (glyphosate potassium salt 660 g/L, manufactured by Monsanto Company) may be 2.338 L/ha (32 fluid ounce/acre). At 5 three true leaf stage of the soybeans, RoundupWeatherMax (glyphosate potassium salt 660 g/L, manufactured by Monsanto Company) is applied to the field so that the application rate may be 2.338 L/ha (32 fluid ounce/acre). [0053] 10 Examples 9 to 12 In each of Examples 5 to 8, instead of applying the formulation X and SAKURA, the formulation X, SAKURA (pyroxasulfone 85% water dispersible granule, manufactured by KUMIAI CHEMICAL INDUSTRY CO.), and ValorTM SX (flumioxazine 51%, manufactured by 15 Valent U.S.A.

[0058] Examples 53 to 100 In each of Examples 5 to 52, seeds of corn or cotton are used in place of seeds of soybean. [0059] In above Examples 5 to 100, excellent herbicidal effects, effects on controlling harmful arthropods, and/or effects on controlling plant pathogens are confirmed, and crop injuries are confirmed to pose little problem. [0060] Example 101 A plastic pot was filled with a commercially-available culture soil, and thereto inubie (common barnyardgrass; Echinochloa crus-galli) or akinoenokorogusa (giant foxtail; Setaria faberi) was seeded, and covered with the soil to about 0.5 cm, followed by growing the weeds in a greenhouse. When the weeds grew to two to three leaf stage, a spray liquid of the compound X, a spray liquid of pyroxasulfone, or a spray liquid of the present composition was uniformly sprayed to the whole plants so that the application rate might be a predetermined value. The spray liquid of the present composition was prepared by mixing the spray liquid of the compound X with the spray liquid of pyroxasulfone. 84990302 53 The spray liquid of the compound X was prepared by mixing a predetermined amount of the formulation X with deionized water. The spray liquid of pyroxasulfone was prepared by dissolving pyroxasulfone with a 2 wt % solution of TWEENTm 20 (polyoxyethylenesorbitan fatty acid ester, manufactured by MP Biomedicals) in dimethylformamide, followed by mixing with deionized water. After applying the spray liquid, the plants were placed in a greenhouse for a week. A herbicidal effect was evaluated by classifying the effect into 101 stages from 0 (no effect) to 100 (complete dead). The expected value of the herbicidal effect in the case of mixed use was calculated from the result of the herbicidal effect in the case of sigle use of each of the compounds (the value of A or B) according to the formula of Colby ((expected value) = 100- (100-A) x (100-B) / 100).
