A herbicidal composition comprising a herbicidally effective amount of N-halogenoacylanilino-fatty acid or the ester derivative thereof represented by the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 allyl, R.sub.3 represents a hydrogen atom, alkyl having up to 10 carbon atoms, C.sub.3 -C.sub.5 alkenyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alkynyl or cyclohexyl, R.sub.4 represents lower alkyl substituted by 1-4 halogen atoms and Y represents C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkylene, as an effective ingredient, and a herbicidally effective inert carrier.

Herbicidial composition and method

Novel N-(3,5-dihalophenyl)imide compounds, which exhibit a strong antimicrobial activity against microorganisms including phytopathogenic fungi, parasites of industrial products and pathogenic microorganisms, represented by the formula, ##STR1## wherein X and X' each represent halogens and A represents a substituted ethylene such as chloroethylene, C.sub.1 - C.sub.4 alkylthioethylene, C.sub.1 - C.sub.2 alkyl-ethylene or 1,2-di-C.sub.1 - C.sub.2 -alkyl-ethylene, a cyclopropylene such as 1,3-dimethylcyclopropylene, trimethylene, a cyclohexylene-1,2-, cyclohexenylene-1,2-, cyclohexadienylene-1,2- or o-phenylene. The N-(3,5-dihalophenyl)imide compounds can be obtained by any of methods which produce imide compounds or reaction of an N-(3,5-dihalophenyl)maleimide compound with a mercaptan, a hydrogen halide, phosphorus chloride or thionylchloride.
