This invention relates to a benzoylurea derivative of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sup.1 and X.sup.2 are hydrogen, halogen, alkyl or alkoxy; and one of Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2, Y.sup.3, Y.sup.4 and Y.sup.5 is halogenoalkylsulfinyl or halogenoalkylsulfonyl, and the others are hydrogen, halogen or alkyl, exhibiting excellent insecticidal and ovicidal activities (particularly, molt inhibitory activity), their production and use.

Benzoylureas, their production and use

New insecticidal or/and ovicidal benzoylurea derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sup.1 is hydrogen or halogen; X.sup.2 is halogen; Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2 and Y.sup.3 are hydrogen, halogen or alkyl, whereby at least one of Y.sup.1, Y.sup.2 and Y.sup.3 is other than hydrogen; and R is hydrogen or a group represented by the formula --CF.sub.a Z.sub.b H.sub.(3-a-b) wherein a and b are 0, 1, 2 or 3, with a+b.ltoreq.3 and Z is halogen, their production and use.

Thiophenylureas, their production and use

A urea derivative of the general formula, ##STR1## (wherein X is a halogen), which has higher insecticidal activity than known similar compounds, with lowered toxicity to mammals and fishes. The derivative can be produced by reacting 2-fluoro-4-haloaniline with 2,6-difluorobenzoyl isocyanate or reacting 2-fluoro-4-halo-phenylisocyanate with 2,6-difluorobenzamide.

N-(2,6-Difluorobenzoyl-N-'-(2-fluoro-4-halophenyl)urea

Tetrahydrophthalamide derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1 is hydrogen or halogen; X.sub.2 is halogen, alkoxy or substituted benzyloxy; X.sub.3 is hydrogen, alkoxy or alkenyloxy; R and R' are the same or different alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl or phenyl, each of which may be optionally substituted, or may jointly, together with nitrogen atom adjacent to R and R', form aliphatic heterocyclic ring containing one or two nitrogens or nitrogen and oxygen, which have a herbicidal activity against a broad spectrum of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous weeds.

Tetrahydrophthalamide derivatives, herbicidal compositions and use

Novel tetrahydrophthalamide derivatives of the general formula: ##STR1## wherein X is chlorine or bromine, and R is hydrogen, or an alkyl, a substituted alkyl, a cycloalkyl, a substituted cycloalkyl, an alkenyl, or an alkynyl group, have strong herbicidal activity and are particularly, useful for selectively controlling weeds without causing any substantial injury to soybean and other crop plants.

Tetrahydrophthalamide derivatives

Tetrahydroisophthalimide compounds are useful for selective weed-controlling agents.
