Abstract
The invention relates to compounds of formula ##STR1## wherein W, X, Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2, Z, R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.14 are as defined in the description, and to the preparation thereof, to weed control compositions and plant-growth-regulating compositions comprising such compounds as active ingredients, and to the use of the active ingredients or compositions for controlling weeds and for regulating plant growth.
