1-Alkyl-4-benzoyl-5-hydroxypyrazole compounds in which the benzoyl moiety is substituted in the 2-position with a halo, alkyl, or alkoxy group, in the 4-position with an alkylsulfonyl group, and in the 3-position with an optionally substituted phenyl group, for example, 1-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-(2-methyl-4-methyl-sulfonyl-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)benzoyl-5-hydroxypyrazole, were prepared and found to be useful for the control of a variety of broadleaf and grassy weeds. The compounds can be applied either preemergently or postemergently and can be used to control undesirable vegetation selectively in small grain crops and turf or non-selectively.

N-(1,3,4-Thiadiazin-2-yl)-2,6-dialkoxybenzamide derivatives useful as herbicides.

Thiadiazine herbicides

5-(Dialkylamino)methylene-1,3-disubstituted-2,4-imidazolidinediones are useful herbicidal agents.

2,4-Imidazolidinediones, compositions and herbicidal method

There is disclosed substituted 2,3-dihydro-2-oxo-1H-imidazole-4-carboxaldehyde derivatives of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 independently are alkyl or mono or di-substituted phenyl, R.sup.3 is chloro, alkoxy, alkylthio, or NR.sup.4 R.sup.5 in which R.sup.4 and R.sup.5 are alkyl or alkenyl, and X is O or N-alkyl. The compounds are herbicides.

Imidazoles, compositions and herbicidal method

A new method of reducing the adverse effects of rice blast, an important disease of rice, is disclosed. The method comprises applying a compound chosen from a class of triazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalines to the foliage of the rice plants.

Triazolo(4,3-a)quinoxalines for control of rice

The present invention is concerned with the use of certain quinoxaline compounds as hypnotic agents.

Fluoralkyl quinoxadinediones

A class of new 4,5-dihydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinoxalines are useful for protecting plants from foliar phytopathogens.
