A process for protecting cultivated plants against aggressive agricultural chemicals is described in which oxide derivatives of the formula ##STR1## are used as antidotes. Either the cultivated area for the cultivated plants or the cultivated plants themselves or parts of the plant (seeds, tubers, stem parts, and the like), as desired, can be treated with these oxide derivatives, which are used as a dressing.

Thiadiazolyl-glyoxylonitrile-2-oxime ether derivatives for protecting

The agents protect wood and coatings against deterioration by microorganisms. The agents contain at least one compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is nitrogen or a CH group and R.sub.1 is a radical of the formula ##STR2## wherein Ar, R and Z are as defined in claim 1, or an acid addition salt thereof.

Process for the protection of wood and coatings against deterioration by

A method of protecting keratinous material, especially wool, from attack by insects that feed on keratin, which comprises treating said material with compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is oxygen or sulfur, each of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 independently is alkyl, alkenyl, benzyl or unsubstituted or substituted phenyl, R.sub.3 is halogen, nitro or trihalomethyl, R.sub.4 is hydrogen, halogen or trihalomethyl, and R.sub.5 is hydrogen, halogen, methyl or methoxy. The invention also provides novel compounds of the formula (1) wherein at least one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is phenyl or substituted phenyl and X is oxygen as well as compositions containing the compounds of the formula (1) and compositions which, in addition to the compounds of formula (1), also contain synthetic pyrethroids, esters of .alpha.-alkyl-substituted phenylacetic acids or substituted sulfanilides.

A process for protecting cultivated plants against aggressive agricultural chemicals is described in which oxime derivatives of the formula ##STR1## are used as antidotes. Either the cultivated area for the cultivated plants or the cultivated plants themselves or parts of the plant (seeds, tubers, stem parts and the like), as desired, can be treated with these oxime derivatives, which are used as a dressing.

Benzoxazolyl-glyoxylonitrile-2-oxime ether derivatives

Novel o-benzylphenols as well as a process for their production, a method for combating harmful microorganisms and compositions comprising said o-benzylphenols are provided.

O-benzylphenols

The invention relates to the use of diamines of the formula I ##STR1## in which R and R.sup.1 are, for example, identical and are alkyl, as active substances for the control of harmful organisms in water and other materials, especially industrial materials. Inter alia, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and algae are controlled. The control is effected in standing and running waters. In preservatives and disinfectants, the diamines are used for natural and synthetic materials, especially industrial materials.

Control of coccidial diseases by treatment of animal excreta with

A process for the manufacture of 2-mercaptopyridine-1-oxides and zinc salts thereof, comprising the steps of oxidizing a 2-acetylaminopyridine with peracetic acid in an inert solvent to give a 2-acetamidopyridine-1-oxide, cleaving the acetyl group with mineral acid to give a 2-aminopyridine-1-oxide, diazotizing the 2-aminopyridine-1-oxide and treating the diazonium salt with hydrochloric acid to give a 2-chloropyridine-1-oxide, treating the latter with a sulfhydryl-donor to give a 2-mercaptopyridine-1-oxide, and optionally treating the latter with a zinc salt to make the 2:1 zinc salt of the 2-mercaptopyridine-1-oxide. The resulting zinc salts are useful in anti-dandruff preparations.
