Abstract:
Sustained release antimicrobial agents comprising a clathrate compound composed of a water-soluble antimicrobial agent, and 1,1,6,6-tetraphenyl-2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol or 1,1-di(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-2-propyne-1-ol, and methods of fouling control using the same.
Abstract:
Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is aliphatic hydrocarbyl, alicyclic hydrocarbyl or aryl suitably substituted, if desired, or a heterocyclic group, R.sup.1 is hydrogen or alkyl, R.sup.2 is alkyl or alkoxy, R.sup.3 is ##STR2## wherein a is 0 or 1, R.sup.4 is hydrogen or CW'.sub.3, the W' being hydrogen or halogen, Z is halogen and X is halogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, acetoxy, carbethoxyalkoxy, phenoxy, alkylthio, carbethoxyalkylthio, phenylthio, phosphono, dithiophosphonoxy, phosphoramido, isocyanato, isothiocyanato, alkyl- and dialkylthiocarbamoylthio, alkyl- and dialkylcarbamoyloxy, alkylsulfonyl, etc., have herbicidal activity.
Abstract:
N-(heterocyclicaminocarbonyl)arylsulfonamides, such as 3-isocyanato-N-[(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]benzenesulfonamide or methyl [3-[[(4- methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]aminosulfonyl]phenyl]carbamate, are useful for the regulation of plant growth and as herbicides.
Abstract:
3-Phenoxy-.alpha.-phenoxy-alkancarboxylic acid derivatives of the formula ##STR1## are disclosed as possessing a surprising selective herbicidal activity. In the formula, Hal is a halogen atom, m is an integer 1, 2 or 3, Y is a hydrogen or halogen atom or the cyano group, Z is a halogen atom or the cyano group, R.sub.1 is hydrogen or C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, and R is an acid function. Methods are disclosed for combatting weeds in mono- and dicotyledonous cultures such as cereals, corn, rice, soya and cotton, which comprise applying to the locus to be protected from weeds a dosage of from 0.1 to 10.0 kilograms per hectare of the above compounds.
Abstract:
New salts of .alpha.-isocyanocarboxylic acid of the formula ##STR1## wherein R is alkyl or phenyl,R.sup.1 is hydrogen, alkyl or phenylalkyl orR and R.sup.1 together represent an alkylene chain with at least 2 carbon atoms, andR.sup.2 is an alkali metal ionare provided. Such compounds are particularly efficacious in plant growth regulant activity and are more effective than conventional materials such as tri-n-butyl-tri-thiophosphoric acid ester and 2-chloroethanesulphinic acid.
Abstract:
Isocyanoacylamides have been found to inhibit the growth of broadleaf plants, espcially when applied as a post-emergent. At lower rates, the compounds of the invention are effective in regulating the growth of corn plants.
Abstract:
Certain esters of 1-hydroxy-cyclobutene-3,4-dione and mono- and diesters of square acid have been found to be useful in the regulation of plant growth, especially as post-emergent herbicides, as plant growth inhibitors and desiccants.New esters of this type and their manufacture are also described.
Abstract:
Phenyl-substituted perfluoroalkanesulfonanilides in which the phenyl rings are linked by sulfur, sulfinyl or sulfonyl and salts thereof in which the rings and the perfluoroalkylsulfonamido nitrogen are optionally substituted. The compounds are active herbicides and some are anti-inflammatory agents and analgesic agents.
