N-(Substituted-phenyl)-7-ethoxy-5-fluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimid ine-2-sulfonamides are prepared from 2-benzylthio-5-fluoromethyl-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines and found to be herbicidal. The compounds, illustrated by 7-ethoxy-5-fluoromethyl-(2,6-dichloro-3-methylphenyl)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a ]-pyrimidine-2-sulfonamide, are degradable in the soil and are selective to wheat.

Novel 2-(4-(2'-fluoro-4'-cyanophenoxy)-phenoxy)alkanoic acids and agriculturally acceptable derivatives thereof are selective postemergent herbicides for the control of grassy weeds in valuable crops. The novel herbicides are surprisingly selective, i.e., exhibit little or no phytotoxic effects, to wheat, barley and especially rice at concentrations that control undesired weed grasses.

This invention relates to a method of controlling phytopathogenic rust and smut fungi of the Uredinales order in a plant locus which comprises applying a fungicidally effective amount of an ornithine decarboxylase inhibitor.

Method of controlling phytopathogenic fungus

Substituted 1-phenoxy-1-triazolyl-2-butanone compounds which correspond to the formula ##STR1## wherein each X independently represents chloro, bromo, iodo, nitro, methyl, methoxy, or methylthio; n represents an integer of 0 to 3; and R represents methyl or ethyl. These compounds have been found to exhibit a high degree of fungicidal activity, and compositions containing said compounds are so employed.
