## Abstract

To provide a method which shows excellent effects in controlling pests in a field of soybean, corn or cotton. A method for controlling weeds in a field of soybean, corn or cotton, wherein the field of soybean, corn or cotton is treated with at least one PPO-inhibiting compound selected from the group consisting of flumioxazin, sulfentrazone, saflufenacil, oxyfluorfen, fomesafen-sodium, and the compound of the formula (I): before, at or after seeding with a seed of soybean, corn or cotton treated with one or more fungicidal compounds selected from the group consisting of tolclophos-methyl, thiram, captan, carbendazim, thiophanate-methyl, and (RS)-2-methoxy-N-methyl-2-[alpha-(2,5-xylyloxy)-o-tolyl]ace tamide.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for controlling a weed in a field of soybean, corn or cotton, comprising applying flumioxazin
to a field before, at or after seeding with a seed of soybean, corn or cotton treated with tolclophos-methyl.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The control method according to claim 1, wherein the flumioxazin is applied to the field before seeding with the seed of soybean, corn or cotton.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The control method according to claim 1, wherein the flumioxazin is applied to the field at seeding with the seed of soybean, corn or cotton.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The control method according to claim 1, wherein the flumioxazin is applied to the field after seeding with the seed of soybean, corn or cotton.
