Abstract

Description

The invention relates to novel substituted arylazadioxacycloalkenes, a plurality of processes for their preparation and to their use as fungicides.
Certain substituted arylazadioxacycloalkenes are known to have fungicidal properties �cf. Hokko Chemical Industry, JP-A 02001484; cited in Chem. Abstr. 113:6381 (1990)!.
However, in many instances the activity of these compounds is unsatisfactory.
This invention, accordingly, provides the novel substituted arylazadioxacycloalkenes of ##STR1## in which A represents optionally substituted alkylene.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils.

The seed of the plants can also be treated.
In the treatment of parts of plants, the active compound concentrations in the use forms can be varied within a substantial range. They are, in general, between 1 and 0.0001% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 0.001% by weight.
In the treatment of seed, amounts of active compound of from 0.001 to 50 g, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are generally required per kilogram of seed.
In the treatment of the soil, active compound concentrations of from 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably from 0.0001 to 0.02% by weight, are required at the site of action.
