Claims
- 1. A fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of the formula ##STR5## wherein X is nitro, fluoro, chloro or bromo; Y is hydrogen, nitro, fluoro, chloro or bromo; Z is nitro, fluoro, chloro or bromo; R.sup.1 is alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, phenyl or phenyl substituted with up to 2 of the same or different substituents selected from the group consisting of trifluoromethyl, trichloromethyl, fluoro, chloro, bromo, iodo, nitro and alkyl of 1 to 3 carbon atoms; and R.sup.2 is haloalkylthio of 1 to 2 carbon atoms and 2 to 5 of the same or different halogens selected from the group consisting of fluoro, chloro and bromo; and a biologically inert carrier.
- 2. The composition of claim 1 wherein X, Y and Z are the same halogen and are chloro or bromo.
- 3. The composition of claim 1 wherein Y is hydrogen or nitro and X and Z are the same halogen and are chloro or bromo.
- 4. The composition of claim 1 wherein R.sup.2 is trichloromethylthio or tetrachloroethylthio.
- 5. The composition of claim 4 wherein the compound is 2,5-dichloro-3-(N-methyl-N-trichloromethylthiosulfonamido)-thiophene.
- 6. The composition of claim 1 wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl substituted with 1 to 2 trifluoromethyl or trichloromethyl radicals.
- 7. The composition of claim 6 wherein Y is hydrogen or nitro and X and Z are the same halogen and are chloro or bromo.
- 8. The composition of claim 7 wherein Y is hydrogen, X and Z are chloro and R.sup.1 is 4-trifluoromethylphenyl.
- 9. A method for controlling fungi which comprises contacting said fungi or their habitats with a fungicidally effective amount of the compound defined in claim 1.
- 10. The method of claim 9 where R.sup.2 is trichloromethylthio or tetrachloroethylthio, and
- R.sup.1 is phenyl substituted with 1 to 2 trifluoromethyl or trichloromethyl radicals.
- 11. A compound of the formula defined in claim 1.
- 12. The compound of claim 11 wherein R.sup.1 is phenyl substituted with 1 to 2 trifluoromethyl or trichloromethyl radicals.
- 13. The compound of claim 12 wherein Y is hydrogen or nitro and X and Z are the same halogen and are chloro or bromo.
- 14. The compound of claim 13 wherein Y is hydrogen, X and Z are chloro and R.sup.1 is 4-trifluoromethylphenyl.
- 15. The compound of claim 11 wherein Y is hydrogen, X and Z are chloro, R.sup.1 is methyl and R.sup.2 is trichloromethylthio.
