A method for controlling weeds in upland farming which comprises applying a synergistically effective amount of a herbicidal composition in a dosage chosen in the range of 0.1 to 6,000 g, in terms of the active ingredients of the composition, per hectare for controlling weeds undesirable for the growth of upland crops, said herbicidal composition comprising as active ingredients:

• a 3-substituted phenylpyrazole derivative represented by the general formula (I):
• ##STR5## wherein R is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group, a C.sub.3-6 cycloalkyl group, a C.sub.1-6 haloalkyl group, a C.sub.2-6 alkenyl group or a C.sub.2-6 alkynyl group, R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1-6 alkyl group, X.sup.1 and X.sup.2, which may be the same or different, are halogen atoms, and Y is an oxygen atom or a sulfur atom;
• and
• at least one compound selected from the group consisting of sulfonylurea derivatives, phenylurea derivatives and phenoxy fatty acid derivatives.
