N-Benzyl-2,6-dinitro-3-amino-4-trifluoromethylanilines as plant growth regulants

Abstract

N-benzyl-2,6-dinitro-3-amino-4-trifluoromethyl-anilines of the formula surface of ##STR1## in which R is lower alkyl, Z is amino, lower alkylamino or di lower alkylamino, Each of Q.sub.1 and Q.sub.2 is hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or methoxy, and Q.sub.3 is hydrogen, lower alkyl or methoxy, Are useful as herbicides and plant growth regulating agents, in particular as agents for controlling the growth of tobacco suckers. Particularly useful are those compounds in which R is ethyl, Z is amino or methylamino, Q.sub.1 is methyl, fluorine or chlorine in the ortho-position, Q.sub.2 is hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, and Q.sub.3 is hydrogen.
