- X is a hydrogen, chloro, bromo, iodo, methylsulfonyloxy, thio(C.sub.1 -C.sub.2)alkyl, isothiocyano or thiocyano group;
- Y is a hydrogen, bromo, chloro, cyano or iodo atom; and
- Z is a hydrogen, chloro or bromo atom.
- 3. The compound of claim 2 wherein A is phenylisoxazolyl wherein the isoxazolyl or phenyl portion, respectively, of the substituents are substituted with up to two substituents each independently selected from chloro and bromo atoms;
- R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are each independently (C.sub.1 -C.sub.2)alkyl;
- X is a bromo, iodo, methylsulfonyloxy, isothiocyano or thiocyano group;
- Y is a hydrogen, bromo, chloro or iodo atom; and
- Z is a hydrogen atom.

- 5. The compound N-(1'-bromo-3'-methylpentan-2'-on-3'-yl)-2,4,6-trichlorophenoxyacetamide.
- 6. A fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of the compound of claim 1 and an agronomically acceptable carrier.
- 7. A fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of the compound of claim 2 and an agronomically acceptable carrier.
- 8. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi comprising applying to a plant, to plant seed or to plant habitat a fungicidally effective amount of the compound of claim 1.
- 9. The method of claim 8 wherein the compound is applied in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 20 kilograms per hectare.
- 10. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi comprising applying to a plant, to plant seed or to plant habitat a fungicidally effective amount of the compound of claim 2.
- 11. The method of claim 10 wherein the compound is applied in an amount of from about 1 to about 5 kilograms per hectare.
