A compound of the formula:

• ##STR362## wherein Q is NR.sub.1 R.sub.2, ##STR363## R is H, Cl Br, F, OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.3 or CF.sub.3 ;
• R.sub.1 is C(O)R.sub.3, C(O)NR.sub.4 R.sub.5, CO.sub.2 R.sub.6, C(O)NHR.sub.9 or CF.sub.2 H;
• R.sub.2 is H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl;
• R.sub.3 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, CF.sub.3 or phenyl optionally substituted with Cl, CH.sub.3, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2 or OCH.sub.3 ;
• R.sub.4 is H, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or phenyl optionally substituted with Cl, CH.sub.3, CF.sub.3, NO.sub.2 or OCH.sub.3 ;
• R.sub.5 is H or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
• R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 may be taken together to be --(CH.sub.2).sub.4 --, --(CH.sub.2).sub.5 -- or --CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --;
• R.sub.6 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl;
• R.sub.7 and R.sub.8 are independently H or CH.sub.3 ;
• R.sub.9 is A-1;
• A is ##STR364## X is CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, OCH.sub.3, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3 or CF.sub.3 ;
• Y is H, NHCH.sub.3 N(CH.sub.3).sub.2, CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, CF.sub.3, OCH.sub.3, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 F, CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3, CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 OCH.sub.3, SCH.sub.3, SCH.sub.2 CH.sub.3, OCH.sub.2 CF.sub.3, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 F, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Br, OCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 Cl, CH(OCH.sub.3).sub.2, CH(OC.sub.2 H.sub.5).sub.2, ##STR365## X.sub.3 is CH.sub.3 or OCH.sub.3 ;
• and their agriculturally suitable salts;
• provided that
• when R.sub.1 is CONHR.sub.9, then A must be A-1 and the values of X, Y and Z must be identical for both A and R.sub.9.
