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, Ronstar [i.e. 5-t-butyl-3-(2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazoline-2-one] is widely used. However, Ronstar has drawbacks that it is likely to bring about phytotoxicity, and it is not effective against perennial weeds, particularly against Sagitaria pygmaea. Accordingly, a development of a herbicide having improved effectiveness and safety has been desired.

(3) It is also effective against perennial 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 exhibits excellent herbicidal effects.
(7) It is highly safe to crop plants.

In pot B, seeds of barnyardgrass, bulrush, water plantain, monochoria and umbrella plant, were sown in the surface layer of the soil.
The day after the seeding and transplantation, a prescribed amount of a wettable powder of each compound formulated in accordance with Formulation Example 1, was diluted with water and dropwise applied by a pippet.
Thirty days after the application, the herbicidal effects were evaluated in accordance with the standards identified in Table 3. The results are shown in Table 9.
Test Example 7
Herbicidal test in the soil treatment of upland field
Into a 120 cm.sup.2 plastic pot, upland field soil was filled and seeds of barnyardgrass, large crabgrass, smart weed, pigweed, lambsquater and rice flatsedge were sown and covered with soil. A wettable powder of each test compound formulated in accordance with Formulation Example 1, was diluted with water in an amount of 100 liter/10a and uniformly applied to the surface of the soil by a small size spray at a dose of 400 g/10a of the active ingredient. After the treatment, the pot was left in a green house for 21 days, and then the herbicidal effects were evaluated in accordance with the standards identified in Table 3. The results are shown in Table 10.
Test Example 8
Herbicidal test in the foliage treatment of upland field
Into a 120 cm.sup.2 plastic pot, upland field soil was filled, and seeds of barnyardgrass, large crabgrass, smart weed, pigweed, lambsquater and rice flatsedge, were sown, and grown in a green house until barnyardgrass grew to the 3 leaf stage. When barnyardgrass reached the 3 leaf stage, a wettable powder of each test compound prepared in accordance with Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water in an amount of 100 liter/10a and applied to the foliage of the plants from above by a small size spray at a dose of 400 g/10a of the active ingredient. After the application, the pot was left in a green house for 21 days, and then the herbicidal effects were evaluated in accordance with the standards identified in Table 3. The results are shown in Table 11.
