     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1. Field of the Invention 
     This invention relates to a herbicidal composition containing as active ingredients at least one organophosphorous compound and a 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative represented by the general formula (I): ##STR2## wherein R is 
     
         --Y.sup.1 R.sup.3 
    
     (wherein R 3  is a lower alkyl group, a lower haloalkyl group, a lower alkenyl group or a lower alkynyl group, and Y 1  is --O-- or --S--), 
     
         --Y.sup.2 CH(R.sup.4)CO--OR.sup.5 
    
     (wherein R 4  is a hydrogen atom or a lower alkyl group, R 5  is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group, a lower haloalkyl group, a lower alkenyl group or a lower alkynyl group, and Y 2  is --O--, --S-- or --NH--), 
     
         --COOCH(R.sup.4)CO--Y.sup.1 R.sup.5 
    
     (wherein R 4 , R 5  and Y 1  are as defined above), or 
     
         --COOR.sup.6 
    
     (wherein R 6  is a lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group or a lower alkynyl group), R 1  is a lower alkyl group, R 2  is a hydrogen atom, a lower alkyl group or a lower haloalkyl group, X 1  and X 2 , which may be the same or different, are halogen atoms, Y is --O--, --S--, --SO-- or --SO 2  --, and n is zero or 1; and a weeding method using said composition. 
     2. Related Art 
     The 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative of the general formula (I) is a compound described in Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication Nos. 3-163063 and 4-211065 and were found to be useful as a herbicide. 
     The organophosphorus compound used in the present invention is a well-known herbicide, for example, N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine or a salt thereof which are described in Japanese Patent Unexamined Publication Nos. 47-39538 and 57-95994, 4- Hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl!-DL-homoalanine described in Japanese Patent Post-examined Publication No. 57-26564, or 4- Hydroxy(methyl)-phosphinoyl!-L-homoalanyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine described in Japanese Patent Post-examined Publication No. 59-23282, etc. 
     Organophosphorus compounds are foliage applied herbicides widely used as non-selective herbicides, but they exhibit initial effect slowly and are not sufficiently effective against herbaceous weeds in developed leaf stage or reproduction stage. Therefore, there is an eager desire for the advent of a herbicide which exhibits herbicidal effect soon after application and has a sufficient herbicidal effect also on the herbaceous weeds in developed leaf stage or reproductive stage. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present inventors earnestly investigated for solving such problems and consequently found that the simultaneous use of a 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative of the above general formula (I) and at least one organophosphorus compound gives fast-acting property and a wide weed control spectrum and moreover brings about an excellent synergistic effect at a dosage which is unexpectedly lower than a dosage required when each of the compounds is used alone, whereby the present invention has been accomplished.

     As the herbicidal organophosphorus compound, i.e., the other active ingredient used in the present invention, there can be used one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine or a salt thereof, such as N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine isopropylammonium salt (hereinafter referred to as &#34;compound A&#34;) or N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine trimethyl-sulfonium salt (hereinafter referred to as &#34;compound B&#34;); 4- hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl!-DL-homoalanine or a salt thereof, such as 4- hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl!-DL-homoalanine ammonium salt (hereinafter referred to as &#34;compound C&#34;); 4- hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl!-L-homoalanyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine or a salt thereof, such as 4- hydroxy(methyl)phosphinoyl!-L-homoalanyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine sodium salt (hereinafter referred to as &#34;compound D&#34;); etc. The organophosphorus compounds exemplified above are not intended in any way to limit the scope of the present invention. 
     For applying the herbicidal composition of the present invention, it may be prepared into suitable forms according to an ordinary manner for preparation of agrochemicals, depending on purposes. For example, said composition is blended with one or more materials selected from the group consisting of solid carriers, liquid carriers and surfactants, and optionally adjuvants, etc. and prepared into a preparation form such as water dispersible granules, a wettable powder, dust, a suspension concentrate, a soluble concentrate, or the like. 
     The active ingredients of the herbicidal composition of the present invention may be blended in optional proportions, depending on the type of formulation. The blending proportions of the active ingredients in said composition may be properly chosen in the following range: the proportion of organophosphorus compound is 0.01 to 1,000 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 500 parts by weight, per part by weight of 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative of the general formula (I). 
     The herbicidal composition of the present invention is useful as a non-selective herbicidal composition. The composition has fast-acting property which the organophosphorus compound does not have, by virtue of the simultaneous use of 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative and the organophosphorus compound, and moreover the composition permits reduction of the dosage because the simultaneous use brings about a synergistic effect which cannot be expected when each of the two agents is used alone. 
     The herbicidal composition of the present invention is useful particularly as a non-selective herbicide. The composition can be used, for example, for controlling weeds emerging in non-crop lands such as roads, building sites, railbeds, parks and playgrounds, and ground covering weeds in orchards, managed forests, forests, tame forests, etc. Furthermore, the composition can be used also as a weed management agent for levees of paddy fields and a clean up herbicide for fallow fields, and upland fields before planting. The composition is effective in controlling, for example, dicotyledons such as asiatic dayflower (Commelina communis), tufted knotweed (Polygonum longisetum), sweet scabious (Erigeron annuus), horseweed (Erigeron canadensis), shepherd&#39;s purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), pale persicaria (Polygonum lapathifolium), livid amaranth (Amaranthus lividus), cudweed (Gnaphalium affine), three seeded copper leaf (Acalypha australis), slender amaranth (Amaranthus varidis), chickweed (Stellaria media), etc.; gramineous weeds such as large crabgrass (Digitaria adscendens), barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli), annual bluegrass (Poa annua), water foxtail (Alopecurus aequalis), etc.; and perennial weeds such as curly dock (Rumex juponicus), mugwort (Artemisia princeps), field horsetail (Equisetum arvense), asiatic plantain (Plantago asiatica), philadelphia fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica), eulalia grass (Miscanthus sinensis), sorrel vine (Cayratia japonica), etc. 
     The present invention is applicable not only to the above places and weeds but also to all places and objective weeds for controlling undesirable weeds. 
     Although the herbicidal composition of the present invention is applied preferably during the early-post emergence or vegetative growth stage of weeds, its application time is not limited to these periods. 
     The dosage of the herbicidal composition of the present invention may be chosen in the range of 1 to 5,000 g (in terms of the active ingredients) per 10 ares. 
     When a compound such as 2-(4-isopropyl-4-methyl-5-oxo-2-imidazolin-2-yl)nicotinic acid (common name: imazapyr), methyl sulfanilylcarbamate (common name: asulam) or the like is used together with the 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative of the general formula (I) in place of the organophosphorus compound, i.e., one of the active ingredients used in the present invention, there can be obtained the same effect as that obtained by using the organophosphorus compound together with said derivative.

     Test Example 1 
     Synergistic-effect test on compositions of the present invention 
     A pot with a diameter of 12 cm and a height of 11 cm was filled with upland soil (sandy loam) and seeded with barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli) so as to adjust the depth of covering soil to 0.5 cm, and the barnyard grass was grown in a greenhouse. 
     When the barnyard grass was grown to a leaf stage of 3 and a height of 10 cm in a test co-using compound B or a leaf stage of 5 and a height of 15 cm in a test co-using compound C, a predetermined amount of each herbicidal composition of the present invention was diluted with water and the dilution was sprayed from above uniformly on the whole surfaces of the stem and leaves in a spray volume of 1,000 liters per hectare by the use of a small-sized sprayer. 
     On the 10th day after the spraying, the degree of growth of the above-ground part of surviving barnyard grass plants was visually judged in the range of zero (ineffective) to 100 (complete kill) by comparison with that on the untreated plot. 
     The test results obtained in the composition of compound 19 and B or compound 19 and C are shown in Table 2 and Table 3, respectively.
