For example, cultivation of potato starts with planting a tuber into soil, and the tuber to be used is generally referred to as "seed potato".

[0219] Examples of the method for controlling harmful arthropods by applying an effective amount of the Present compound, the Present compound X, or the Composition A to soil include a method for applying an effective amount of the composition of the present invention to soil before or after planting plants, a method for applying an effective amount of the composition of the present invention to rhizosphere of crops to be protected from harm such as eating by harmful arthropods, and, a method for controlling plant-eating harmful arthropods by impregnating an effective amount of the composition of the present invention from roots or the like and migrating it to inside plant bodies. More specific examples thereof include planting hole treatments (for example, planting hole application and planting hole soil incorporation), plant foot treatments (for example, plant foot application, plant foot soil incorporation, plant foot irrigation, and plant foot treatment at latter half of raising of seedling period), planting trench treatments (for example, planting trench application and planting trench soil incorporation), row treatments (for example, row application, row soil incorporation, and row application at growing season), row treatments at seeding (for example, row application at seeding and row soil incorporation at seeding), overall treatments (for example, overall soil application and overall soil incorporation), side row treatments, water surface treatments (for example, water surface application and water surface application after flooding), other soil application treatments (for example, foliar application of granule at growing season, application under tree crown or around trunk, soil surface application, soil surface incorporation, seeding hole application, ridge area surface application, and intrarow spacing application), other irrigation treatments (for example, soil irrigation, irrigation at raising of seedling period, chemical injection treatment, ground area irrigation, chemical drip irrigation, and chemigation), raising seedling box treatments (for example, raising seedling box application, raising seedling box irrigation, raising seedling box chemical flooding), raising seedling tray treatments (for example, raising seedling tray application, raising seedling tray irrigation, and raising seedling tray chemical flooding), nursery treatments (for example, nursery application, nursery irrigation, flooded nursery application, and seedling soaking), bed soil incorporation treatments (for example, bed soil incorporation, bed soil incorporation before seeding, application at seeding before soil covering, application at seeding after soil covering, and soil covering incorporation), and other treatments (for example, culture soil incorporation, plowing, surface soil incorporation, rain dropping point soil incorporation, planting position treatment, flower cluster application of granule, and paste fertilizer incorporation).

[0220] When the Present composition is used for controlling harmful arthropods in the agricultural field, the application dose as an amount of the Present compound or the Present compound X is usually within the range from 1 to 10,000 g per 10,000 m2. When the Present composition is applied to seeds or vegetative reproduction organs, the application dose as an amount of the Present compound or the Present compound X is usually within the range from 0.001 to 100 g per 1 Kg of the seeds or vegetative reproduction organs. An emulsifiable concentrate, a wettable powder, a flowable, or the like of the Present composition is usually applied by diluting it with water in such a way that a concentration of the active ingredient is within the range from 0.01 to 10,000 ppm. A granule, a dust formulation, or the like is usually applied as itself without diluting it.

[0221] These formulations and diluents of the formulations with water may be directly sprayed to harmful arthropods or plants such as crops to be protected from harmful arthropods, or applied to soil in cultivated areas to control harmful arthropods that inhabit the soil.

[0222] Also, a resin formulation processed into a sheet shape or a string shape may be wrapped around crops, stretched near crops, spread on plant foot soil, or the like.

[0223] When the Present composition is used to control harmful arthropods that live inside a house, the application dose as an amount of the Present compound or the Present compound X is usually within the range from 0.01 to 1,000 mg per 1 m2 of an area to be treated in the case of using it on a planar area. In the case of using it spatially, the application dose as an amount of the Present compound or the Present compound X is usually within the range from 0.01 to 500 mg per 1 m3 of the space to be treated. When the Present composition is formulated into an emulsifiable concentrate, a wettable powder, a flowable, or the like, such formulation is usually applied after diluting it with water in such a way that a concentration of the active ingredient is within the range from 0.1 to 10,000 ppm, and then sparging it. In the case of being formulated into an oil solution, an aerosol, a smoking agent, a poison bait, or the like, such formulation is used as itself without diluting it.

[0224] When the Present composition is used for controlling external parasites of livestock such as cows, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and chickens, and small animals such as dogs, cats, rats, and mice, the Present composition may be applied to the animals by a known method in the veterinary field. Examples of the specific method for using the Present composition include administration by a tablet, a mixture with feed, a suppository, or an injection (for example, intramuscular, subcutaneous, intravenous, or intraperitoneal injection) when systemic control is intended, and include spraying of an oil solution or an aqueous liquid, pour-on treatment or spot-on treatment, washing of animals with a shampoo formulation, or application of a resin formulation in the form of a collar, an ear tag, or the like to animals when non-systemic control is intended. In case of administered to animals, the dose of the Present compound or the Present compound X is usually within the range from 0.1 to 1,000 mg per 1 kg of animal body weight.

[0225] Also, the Present compound, the Present compound X, or the Composition A may be used as an agent for controlling harmful arthropods in croplands such as fields, paddy fields, grasses, and orchards. Examples of the plants include the followings.

[0226] The above plants also include plants which may be produced by natural breeding, plants which may be generated by mutation, F1 hybrid plants, and genetically modified crops. Examples of the genetically modified crops include plants which have resistance to HPPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase enzyme) inhibitors such as isoxaflutole, ALS (acetolactate synthase) inhibitors such as imazethapyr and thifensulfuron-methyl, EPSP (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase) inhibitors, glutamine synthetase inhibitors, PPO (protoporphyrinogen oxidase) inhibitors, or herbicide such as bromoxynil and dicamba; plants which can synthesize a selective toxin known in Bacillus such as Bacillus thuringiensis or the like; and plants which can synthesize a gene fragment or the like which is partially identical to an endogenous gene derived from a harmful insect, and induce a gene silencing (RNAi; RNA interference) in the target harmful insect to achieve a specific insecticidal activity.

[0227] The above plants are not specifically limited as long as they are generally cultivated cultivars.
