Fungicides

Compounds of having the general formula (I): ##STR1## and stereoisomers thereof, wherein R.sup.1 is hydrogen, halogen, C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, C.sub.2-4 alkenyl, C.sub.2-4 alkynyl, C.sub.1-4 haloalkyl, C.sub.1-4 haloalkoxy, COR or cyano; R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are independently hydrogen, halogen or methyl, provided that R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are not all hydrogen and provided that when one of them is methyl then at least one of the other two is not hydrogen; ##STR2## wherein R.sup.5 is hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkyl (optionally substituted by hydrogen or cyano), optionally substituted benzyl, C.sub.2-4 alkenyl, C.sub.2-4 alkynyl, cyano, COR, C.sub.1-4 thioalkoxy, C.sub.1-4 thiohaloalkoxy or SNR.sup.7 R.sup.8 ; R.sup.7 and R.sup.8 are independently C.sub.1-4 alkyl or CO.sub.2 R; Y is oxygen or sulphur; R.sup.6 is C.sub.1-4 alkoxy, C.sub.1-4 thioalkoxy or --NR.sup.9 R.sup.10 ; and R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 are independently hydrogen, C.sub.1-4 alkyl, aryl or aralkyl or R.sup.9 and R.sup.10 join to form an optionally substituted heterocyclic ring and R is C.sub.1-4 alkyl or C.sub.3-7 cycloalkyl . These compounds are fungicidally active.

Fungicides which are N-pyridyl-cyclopropane carboxamides or derivatives

Herbicidal and fungicidal benzamide derivatives of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is an optionally substituted alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heterocyclyl, benzyl, or heterocyclylmethyl radical;

Biologically active amide derivatives

Amide derivatives of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl optionally substituted with halogen, lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, halo-lower alkoxy, methylenedioxy, lower alkylthio or cyano;

Certain cyano containing aryl amides, compositions containing same and
