A known antibiotic, SF-1293 substance and salts thereof have now been found to exhibit high herbicidal effects against a wide variety of herbaceous and woody plants, but they are non-phytotoxic particularly to a useful woody plant, Chamaecyparis obtusa. The herbicidal effects of these SF-1293 substances can be noticeably enhanced by applying in combination with certain known herbicides or compounds having biological activities. |
