Novel 1-substituted uracils, synthesis and intermediates therefor, and compositions for the control of pests.

Novel compositions and methods

A method and pesticidal composition for the preventative, protectant, prophylactic and eradicant treatment of plant fungi and bacteria comprises applying an effective amount to plants or seeds of a pesticidal composition containing in an inert carrier a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl; R.sup.1 is polyhaloalkyl or polyhalovinyl; R.sup.2 is lower alkyl, lower alkoxy, bromo, chloro, fluoro, lower haloalkyl, cyano, nitro, lower alkylthio, lower alkylcarbonyl, lower alkoxycarbonyl or cycloalkyl; R.sup.3 is hydrogen or independently selected from the values of R.sup.2 ; R.sup.4 is hydrogen or independently selected from the values of R.sup.2 ; X is hydrogen, carbamoyl or cyano; and y is zero, one or two.

Pesticidal compositions and processes for treating plants

.alpha.-Cyano-.beta.-(substituted-anilino)-N-ethoxycarbonylacrylamide

Phenyl uracils, synthesis and intermediates therefor, and compositions for the control of pests, especially fungi and bacteria.

Phenyl uracils

Plant fungal diseases are combatted by treating plants, seeds or soil infested with the disease, or liable to such infestation, with an amount of 6-fluoroindole effective to control the fungus disease.
