Disclosed are herbicidal aryl substituted cycloalkyl and aryl substituted cycloalkenyl compounds, herbicidal compositions, and herbicidal use of the compounds and compositions. The aryl substituent is selected from substituted phenyl, unsubstituted or substituted five-membered heterocycle, and unsubstituted or substituted six-membered heterocycle.

Aryl-substituted cycloalkanes and cycloalkenes and herbicidal use thereof

Certain N-acetonylbenzamides exhibit low toxicity to plants are particularly useful for control of fungi, especially Phycomycetes.

Use of certain N-acetonylbenzamides as fungicides

Compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X is hydrogen, halo, trihalomethyl, alkyl, nitroor cyano; X.sup.1 is hydrogen, halo, or trihalomethyl; R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are hydrogen, alkyl phenyl or benzyl; n is 1 to 5, and Z is halo, cyano, nitro, trihalomethyl, methylthio, methylsulfinyl, methylsulfonyl, acetyl, phenyl, or heterocycle, and compositions containing these compounds exhibit herbicidal activity.

4-trifluoromethyl-4'-nitrodiphenyl ethers

Process comprising the use as a microbicide or plant growth regulator of a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein A, B, C and D is each independently selected from the group consisting of O,NR.sup.1, CR.sup.1 R.sup.1, CO, S,SO, and SO.sub.2, except for the A-C, C-A, B-D,D-B combinations: O--O, SO--SO, SO.sub.2 --SO.sub.2, S--O, S--NR.sup.2, SONR.sup.2, SO--CO, SO.sub.2 --CO, SO.sub.2 --SO;
