Disclosed are: a chemical damage reducing agent for a herbicide, which is capable of reducing or preventing chemical damage and reducing the burden on the environment without using a plurality of different herbicidally active ingredients in combination; a herbicidal composition which is reduced in chemical damage; and a method for reducing chemical damage on a crop. Specifically disclosed is a chemical damage reducing agent for a herbicide, which is characterized by containing a compound represented by general formula (I) (wherein R represents a C1-C4 alkyl group or a hydroxycyclohexyl group, and X represents a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, a carbamoyl group, a dimethylcarbamoyl group, a C1-C4 alkoxycarbonyl group or a benzyloxycarbonyl group) or a salt thereof as a main component. Also specifically disclosed is a herbicidal composition reduced in chemical damage, which is characterized by containing the above-described chemical damage reducing agent for a herbicide and one or more specific herbicidally active compounds. |
