Method of controlling weeds in a cultivation area of field corn

Abstract

The present invention can provide a method having superior crop selectivity for weed control in a cultivation area of field corn. The method includes a step of applying trifludimoxazin in a cultivation area of field corn.

1 . A method of selectively controlling growing weeds selected from the group consisting of  Kochia  species and  Amaranthus  species in a cultivation area of field corn, the method comprising a step of applying trifludimoxazin to growing weeds from 10 days before to immediately before seeding of field corn,
 wherein the application rate of trifludimoxazin is from approximately 7 g to approximately 12 g per hectare, and   wherein the field corn is not bred to be tolerant to trifludimoxazin transgenically or non-transgenically, and   wherein the application of trifludimoixazin makes no or little difference in the state of germination or growth of the field corn due to crop injury compared with a field corn untreated with trifludimoxazin.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the growing weeds are selected from the group consisting of  Kochia scoparia  and  Amaranthus palmeri.    
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the growing weeds are  Kochia scoparia.
