A method for protecting a plant against attack by a plant-pathogenic bacterial or fungal organism which comprises applying to a locus of the organism an effective amount of an active agent selected from the group consisting of the compounds of the formula ##STR19## and the phytologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein X represents --O--, --S--, ##STR20## each R.sup.1 independently represents hydrogen, halo, lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, lower alkoxy of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, or lower alkylthio of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 ;
- R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.11, cyclopropyl, hydroxy, lower alkoxy of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, mercapto, lower alkylthio of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, allylthio, propynylthio, benzylthio, halo, amino, (lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)amino, di(lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)amino, carbamoyl, thiocyanato, acetamido, trifluoromethyl, halomethyl, mono- or di(lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)aminomethyl, or radical of the formula ##STR21## wherein R.sup.3 represents sodium, potassium, or lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 ;
- subject to the limitations (1) that at least two R.sup.1 's, or at least one R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, represent hydrogen, and (2) that when both R.sup.2 and the R.sup.1 substituent at the 5-position represent groups other than hydrogen, such groups together do not contain more than six carbon atoms.
A composition suitable for protecting a plant against attack by a plant pathogenic bacterial or fungal organism which comprises a surface active dispersing agent, an inert finely divided solid, and an effective amount from about 2 to 98 percent by weight of an active agent selected from the group consisting of compounds of the formula ##STR22## and the phytologically acceptable acid addition salts thereof, wherein X represents --O--, --S--, ##STR23## each R.sup.1 independently represents hydrogen, halo, lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, lower alkoxy of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, or lower alkylthio of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 ;
- R.sup.2 represents hydrogen, alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.11, cyclopropyl, hydroxy, lower alkoxy of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, mercapto, lower alkylthio of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3, allylthio, propynylthio, benzylthio, halo, amino, (lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)amino, di(lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)amino, carbamoyl, thiocyanato, acetamido, trifluoromethyl, halomethyl, mono- or di(lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3)aminomethyl, or radical of the formula ##STR24## wherein R.sup.3 represents sodium, potassium, or lower alkyl of C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 ;
- subject to the limitations (1) that at least two R.sup.1 's or at least one R.sup.1 and R.sup.2, represent hydrogen;
- and (2) that when both R.sup.2 and the R.sup.1 substituent at the 5-position represent groups other than hydrogen, such groups together do not contain more than six carbon atoms.
