Patent ID: 6878672

Claim:
A herbicidal emulsion composition comprising: (A) a herbicidally active component which is an ethenylamide compound represented by the following formula (1): wherein R 1 is a substituted or nonsubstituted heteroaryl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and containing 1 to 2 hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen atom, sulfur atom and nitrogen atom, or substituted or nonsabstituted aryl group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, R 2 and R 3 are each independently a hydrogen atom or alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms and may be bonded together to form a ring with a carbon atom bonded thereto, R 4 is a substituted or nonsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, substituted or nonsubstituted alkenyl group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, substituted or nonsubstituted alkynyl group having 2 to 12 carbon atoms, substituted or nonsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, substituted or nonsubstituted heteroaryl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms, substituted or nonsubstituted cycloalkyl group having 3 to 6 carbon atoms, substituted or nonsubstituted cycloalkenyl group having 4 to 6 carbon atoms, or substituted or nonsubstituted heterocycloalkyl group having 4 to 5 carbon atoms, and R 5 is a substituted or nonsubstituted heteroaryl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and containing 1 to 2 hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen atom, sulfur atom and nitrogen atom, substituted or nonsubstituted aryl group having 6 to 14 carbon atoms, or substituted or nonsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, (B) a phytotoxicity reducing agent which is a dichioroacetamide compound represented by the following formula (2): wherein R 6 and R 7 are each independently a hydrogen atom or alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and R 8 is a hydrogen atom, alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or substituted or nonsubstituted heteroaryl group having 3 to 8 carbon atoms and containing 1 to 2 hetero atoms selected from the group consisting of oxygen atom, sulfur atom and nitrogen atom, or the following formula (3): wherein R 9 , R 10 and R 11 are each independently a hydrogen atom or alkyl group having 1 to 2 carbon atoms, n is 2 or 3, and m is 0 or 1, (C) an amino alcohol, and (D) a polar nonaqueous solvent.
