As herbicides, proposition has been made of heterocyclic compounds substituted with phenyl groups having certain types of substituents, such as N-(substituted phenyl)-3, 4, 5, 6-tetrahydrophthalimides, 3-(substituted phenyl)-1, 5-tetramethylenehydantoins, 4-(substituted phenyl)-1, 2-tetramethyleneurazoles, 9-(substituted phenylimino)-8-thia-1, 6-diazabicyclo[4.3. 0]nonan-7-ones, 3-(substituted phenyl)-1, 3, 4-oxadiazolin-2-ones and the like. However, these compounds generally have low selectivity between weeds and crops, so they cannot satisfy both of herbicidal activity and safety for crops. Thus, they are presently put to practical use only in a limited field.
Although a great number of substituted-phenyl heterocyclic compounds with herbicidal activity have been proposed as has been described above, few of them have both the safety for significant crops and sufficient herbicidal activity, so that herbicides provided with the two properties have been expected. In case of taking account of environmental influence as well, a herbicide with less dose for application is preferable.
The present inventors have made intensive investigations on the problems described above, and have found that certain specific compounds having a tetrahydrofuran ring have characteristic properties such that the compounds have high herbicidal activity and nevertheless do not show almost any influence on a great number of significant crops. Thus, they have achieved the present invention.
