As the inert solvent and the base which are usable in this reaction, there can be used, for example, the inert solvents and the bases, respectively, exemplified in production process 1. The compound of the general formula (VII) may be used in excess to serve also as the inert solvent.

The amount of the base used may be properly chosen in the range of 1 mole to excess moles per mole of the compound of the general formula (VI).

Since the reaction is an equimolar reaction, it is sufficient that the compound of the general formula (VI) and the compound of the general formula (VII) are used in equimolar amounts, though either of them may be used in excess.

The reaction temperature is preferably in the range of 0.degree. C. to the boiling point of the inert solvent used, and is more preferably a temperature near room temperature.

Although the reaction time is varied depending on the reaction temperature, the scale of reaction, etc., it is chosen in the range of several minutes to 24 hours.

After completion of the reaction, the desired compound is isolated from the reaction mixture containing the desired compound by a conventional method, and if necessary, purified by column chromatography, etc., whereby the N-substituted carbamic acid derivative of the general formula (I-1) can be produced.

The desired compound obtained by the reaction may be subjected to the subsequent reaction without isolation.

The following are typical examples of the liquid carrier and can be used alone or as a mixture thereof. Water; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol and ethylene glycol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, diisobutyl ketone and cyclohexanone; ethers such as ethyl ether, dioxane, Cellosolve, dipropyl ether and tetrahydrofuran; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as kerosene and mineral oils; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha and alkylnaphthalenes; halogenated hydrocarbons such as dichloroethane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and chlorobenzene; esters such as ethyl acetate, diisopropyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate and dioctyl phthalate; amides such as dimethylformamide, diethylformamide and dimethylacetamide; nitriles such as acetonitrile; and dimethyl sulfoxide.

The following are typical examples of the adjuvant, which are used depending upon purposes and used alone or in combination in some cases, or need not to be used at all.

To emulsify, disperse, dissolve and/or wet an active ingredient, a surfactant is used. As the surfactant, there can be exemplified polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers, polyoxyethylene alkylaryl ethers, polyoxyethylene higher fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene resinates, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monolaurate, polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate, alkylarylsulfonates, naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products, ligninsulfonates and higher alcohol sulfate esters.

Further, to stabilize the dispersion of an active ingredient, tackify it and/or bind it, there may be used adjuvants such as casein, gelatin, starch, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohols, turpentine, bran oil, bentonite and ligninsulfonates.

To improve the flowability of a solid product, there may be used adjuvants such as waxes, stearates and alkyl phosphates.

Adjuvants such as naphthalenesulfonic acid condensation products and polycondensates of phosphates may be used as a peptizer for dispersible products.

Adjuvants such as silicon oils may also be used as a defoaming agent.

The content of the active ingredient may be varied as required. In dusts or granules, the suitable content thereof is from 0.01 to 50% by weight. In emulsifiable concentrates or flowable wettable powders, it is also from 0.01 to 50% by weight.

The agricultural and horticultural fungicide containing the N-substituted phenylcarbamic acid derivative of the general formula (I) of the present invention as an active ingredient is used to control various diseases in the following manner. That is, it is applied to a crop on which the diseases are expected to occur, or a site where the occurrence of the diseases is undesirable, as it is or after being properly diluted with or suspended in water or the like, in an amount effective for control of the diseases.

The applying dosage of the agricultural and horticultural fungicide containing the N-substituted phenylcarbamic acid derivative of the general formula (I) of the present invention as an active ingredient is varied depending upon various factors such as a purpose, diseases to be controlled, a growth state of a plant, tendency of disease occurrence, weather, environmental conditions, a preparation form, an application method, an application site and application time. It may be properly chosen in the range of 0.1 g to 1 kg (in terms of the active ingredient) per 10 ares depending upon purposes.

The agricultural and horticultural fungicide containing the N-substituted phenylcarbamic acid derivative of the general formula (I) of the present invention as an active ingredient may be used in admixture with other agricultural and horticultural fungicides in order to expand both spectrum of controllable diseases and the period of time when effective applications are possible or to reduce the dosage.
