Claims18
A method for the control or amelioration of soilborne phytopathogenic fungi which comprises directly contacting said fungi in the soil with a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of formula I ##STR10## wherein R is hydrogen, CXR.sub.1 or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups;
- X is oxygen or sulfur;
- R.sub.1 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogens, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or phenyl optionally substituted substituted with one to three halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups or
- phenyl optionally substituted with one to three halogen, halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups.
A method for protecting a plant or plant seed from attack by soilborne phytopathogenic fungi which comprises applying to the plant seed or the soil or water in which the plant or plant seed is growing or is to be grown a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of formula I ##STR11## wherein R is hydrogen, CXR.sub.1 or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups;
- X is oxygen or sulfur;
- R.sub.1 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkoxy optionally substituted with one or more halogens, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl optionally substituted with one or more halogens, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy or phenyl optionally substituted with one to three halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups or
- phenyl optionally substituted with one to three halogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkoxy groups.
