Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; R.sub.1 is an alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms; and R.sub.2 is branched alkyl of 3 to 8 carbon atoms. These compounds are insecticides and nematocides.

Unsymmetrical thiophosphonate insecticides and nematocides

3-(3,4-Epoxy-4-methylcyclohexyl)butyl esters form a new class of compounds exhibiting fungicidal activity and plant growth regulant activity. In fungicide tests, the compounds of this invention prove effective against Fusarium oxysporium, Pythium debaryanum, Rhizoctonia solani and Sclerotium rolfsii. In herbicide tests, post-emergent application of the compounds of this invention provides plant growth regulant action, such as cotton defoliation and plant growth retardation activity.
