Abstract

Provided is a method for reducing damage by harmful organisms in corn cultivation. Damage by harmful organisms in corn cultivation can be reduced by carrying out the steps of: A) making a furrow in a cultivated land; B) seeding the furrow formed in the foregoing step with corn; C) applying to the furrow one or more selected from Compound Group (II), or C′) applying to the furrow one or more selected from Compound Group (I) and one or more selected from Compound Group (II); and D) closing the furrow. Compound Group (I): clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid and thiacloprid; Compound Group (II): bifenthrin, bioresmethrin, deltamethrin, bioallethrin, ethofenprox, fenpropathrin, cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, zeta-cypermethrin, fenvalerate, esfenvalerate, cyfluthrin, beta-cyfluthrin, alpha-cypermethrin, tralomethrin, fluvalinate, permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, flucythrinate and tefluthrin.

First claim

1 . A method for reducing damage by harmful organisms in corn cultivation, the method comprising the steps of:
A) making a furrow in a cultivated land; B) seeding with corn the furrow formed in the foregoing step; C) applying to the furrow one or more selected from the below-mentioned compound group (II); and D) closing the furrow, (compound group (II): group consisting of bifenthrin, bioresmethrin, deltamethrin, bioallethrin, ethofenprox, fenpropathrin, cypermethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, zeta-cypermethrin, fenvalerate, esfenvalerate, cyfluthrin, beta-cyfluthrin, alpha-cypermethrin, tralomethrin, fluvalinate, permethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, flucythrinate and tefluthrin), wherein the step of applying one or more selected from the compound group (II) is a step of applying a composition containing one or more selected from the compound group (II), and wherein the composition containing one or more selected from the compound group (II) is an aqueous dispersion or aqueous solution containing one or more selected from the compound group (II).

2 . The method according claim 1 , wherein the aqueous dispersion or aqueous solution is an aqueous dispersion or aqueous solution obtained by dispersing or dissolving in water a water soluble powder, a wettable powder, a water dispersible granule, a soluble concentrate, a microcapsule, an emulsifiable concentrate, a concentrated emulsion, a microemulsion, a suspoemulsion, an oil miscible liquid, a suspension concentrate or a dry flowable which contains one or more selected from the compound group (II).

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the land is ditched to a depth of 1 to 10 cm.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein making the furrow is performed using a disk furrow opener.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein seeding is performed using a pneumatic seeder.
