In the following test examples, the herbicidal activity was evaluated at 11 levels with indices of 0 to 10, i.e., designated by the numeral "0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9" or "10" wherein "0" means that there was no or little difference in the degree of germination or growth between the treated and the untreated tested plants at the time of examination, and "10" means that the test plants died complete or their germination or growth was completely inhibited. Test Example 5 A plastic pot (27 cm x 19 cm x 7 cm) was filled with soil and then seeded with Johnsongrass (Sorghum halepense), Giant foxtail (Setaria faberi), barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli), large crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis), Broadleaf signalgrass (Brachiaria platyphylla) and wild oat (Avena fatua). These test plants were grown in a greenhouse for 25 days. After then, each of the compounds 3-11, 4-22, B and C was formulated into an emulsifiable concentrate according to Formulation Example 2 and then diluted to the prescribed amount with water containing a spreading agent and the dilution was uniformly sprayed over the foliage of the test plants with a sprayer at a rate of 1000 liters per hectare. After the application, the test plants were grown in the greenhouse for 4 days, and the herbicidal activity was examined. The results are shown in the following Table 9. (In the Table 9, the test plants are shown as follows.
