DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a pyrazole derivative and a herbicide containing the same.
TECHNICAL BACKGROUND
Herbicides are very important chemicals for the labor-saving in weed control work and for increasing the productivity for agricultural and horticultural products. Herbicides have been therefore actively studied and developed for many years, and a variety of chemicals are practically used at present. Even today, however, it is desired to develop novel chemicals having distinguished herbicidal properties, particularly chemicals which are free of toxicity to cultured crops and can control target weeds selectively in a low dosage.
During a growing period of corn, etc., a triazine-based herbicide such as atrazine and acid anilide-based herbicides such as alachlor and metolachlor have been conventionally used. However, atrazine shows low efficacy to gramineous weeds, and alachlor and metolachlor show low efficacy to broad-leaved weeds. It is therefore difficult at present to control gramineous weeds and broad-leaved weeds together with a single herbicide. Further, the above herbicides are undesirable in view of an environmental problem due to their high dosage requirement.
Further, it is known that a paddy field grows not only paddy rice but also various weeds including annual gramineous weeds such as barnyard grass, annual cyperaceous weeds such as umbrella plant, annual broad-leaved weeds such as monochoria and toothcup and perennial weeds such as Sagittaria pygmaea miquel, largeleaf pondweed, oriental waterplantain, bulrush, needle-upright clubrush, Cyperus serotinus rottboell, water chestnut, arrowhead and dropwort. It is very important for rice cultivation to effectively control these weeds without causing phytotoxicity to paddy rice and by spraying a chemical in a small dosage in view of environmental pollution. It is known that chemicals having high herbicidal activity to barnyard grass are generally liable to cause phytotoxicity to paddy rice, and it is an especially essential object remaining to achieve to develop a chemical which exhibit high herbicidal activity to barnyard grass which is gramineous weed and has excellent intergenus selectivity between paddy rice and barnyard grass.
Meanwhile, it is already known that specific 4-benzoylpyrazole derivatives have herbicidal activity (see JP-A-63-122672, JP-A-63-122673, JP-A-63-170365, JP-A-1-52759, JP-A-2-173 and JP-A-2-288866).
Typical examples of the 4-benzoylpyrazole derivatives (A) and (B) described in the above publications ((A); Compound No. 35 in JP-A-2-173, (B); Compound No. 1 in JP-A-63-122672) are as follows. ##STR3##
However, the 4-benzoylpyrazole derivatives which have been so far disclosed have herbicidal activity, but are insufficient in practical use. In particular, they are very inferior in herbicidal activity to gramineous weeds such as barnyard grass and green foxtail. Further, when used as a herbicide in a paddy field, the above chemicals may cause phytotoxicity to paddy rice since they have poor selectivity between paddy rice and gramineous weeds.
The present inventors have therefore proposed pyrazole derivatives having a thiochroman ring by already applying a patent (see PCT/JP93/00274; WO93/18031). Typical example C (Compound No. 66) of compounds described in the specification of the above patent application is as follows. ##STR4##
However, the above compound has high herbicidal activity to paddy rice, while its safety to paddy rice is not fully satisfactory.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object thereof is to provide a pyrazole derivative which is free of phytotoxicity to corn and paddy rice and can control a wide range of upland weeds and paddy field weeds, particularly barnyard grass in a paddy field, in a low dosage, and a herbicide containing the pyrazole derivative.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The present inventors have made diligent studies to achieve the above object, and have found that a novel compound of the following general formula (I) sh
