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

What is claimed is:

1. A method for reducing damage by harmful organisms in corn cultivation, the method comprising:
A) making a furrow in a cultivated land; B) seeding the furrow with corn; C′) applying to the furrow a composition containing one or more selected from compound group (I) and a composition containing one or more selected from compound group (II); and D) closing the furrow;
wherein the composition containing one or more selected from the compound group (I) is an aqueous dispersion or aqueous solution containing one or more selected from the compound group (I);
wherein compound group (I): clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid or thiacloprid; and
wherein 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 or tefluthrin;
provided that when imidacloprid is selected from compound group (I), then esfenvalerate is not selected from 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 (I).

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.

6. The method according to claim 1 , 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).

7. A method for reducing damage by harmful organisms in corn cultivation, the method comprising:
A) making a furrow in a cultivated land; B) seeding the furrow with corn; C′) applying to the furrow a composition containing one or more selected from compound group (I) and a composition containing one or more selected from compound group (II); and D) closing the furrow;
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);
wherein compound group (I): clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid or thiacloprid; and
wherein 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 or tefluthrin;
provided that when imidacloprid is selected from compound group (I), then esfenvalerate is not selected from compound group (II).

8. The method according to claim 7 , 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).

9. A method for reducing damage by harmful organisms in corn cultivation, the method comprising:
A) making a furrow in a cultivated land; B) seeding the furrow with corn; C′) applying to the furrow a composition containing one or more selected from the compound group (I) and one or more selected from the compound group (II); and D) closing the furrow,
wherein the composition containing one or more selected from the compound group (I) and 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 (I) and one or more selected from the compound group (II);
wherein compound group (I): clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid or thiacloprid; and
wherein 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 or tefluthrin;
provided that when imidacloprid is selected from compound group (I), then esfenvalerate is not selected from compound group (II).

10. The method according to claim 9 , 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 (I) and one or more selected from the compound group (II).
