USE OF GLYCEROL ETHERS AS ACTIVATORS OF THE BIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF A HERBICIDE, FUNGICIDE OR INSECTICIDE SUBSTANCE

The invention relates to the use of glycerol ethers as agents that activate the biological effects of at least one substance selected from a herbicide, fungicide or insecticide. The invention essentially relates to the use of glycerol ether as an agent that activates the biological effects of at least one substance selected from a herbicide, or fungicide or insecticide, said glycerol ether having formula (1), wherein R1 represents an alkyl group having between 1 and 18 carbon atoms and R2 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having between 1 and 18 carbon atoms, preferably a methyl or ethyl group. The invention also relates to a phytosanitary composition containing one such glycerol ether, as well as to a phytosanitary treatment method using said composition.

Substituted pyridinesulfonamide compounds or their salts, process for preparing the same, and herbicides containing the same

A substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt represented by the following general formula (I): wherein R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group; R2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, or an unsubstituted or substituted alkoxy group; and X and Y are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkoxy groups, is disclosed. This compound is useful as the effective ingredient of a herbicide showing a wide weed-control spectrum even if used in a small amount.

Herbicidally-active heterocyclic compounds

There are provided the compounds of the formula: STR1 (wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4, which may be the same or different, each represent hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl or aralkyl group, a nitro group, a cyano group or a halogen atom, R5 represents a quaternized nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl radical linked via a ring carbon atom, X represents one equivalent of an anion, R7 represents a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted, saturated or unsaturated heterocyclyl group which, if nitrogen-containing, is quaternized, linked via a ring carbon atom, and R6 either represents an alkyl group or, when R7 represents a quaternized nitrogen-containing heterocyclyl group, and the quaternized nitrogen atom is ortho to the linked ring carbon atom, may represent a methylene, dimethylene, trimethylene or alkyl-substituted ethenylene chain to that nitrogen atom. The compounds are selective herbicides.
