Abstract:
A composition for the promotion of plant production and/or for the elimination of unfavorable environmental influences in plant cultivation comprising:a hydroximic acid derivative of the formula ##STR9##whereR.sup.1 is a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group,R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group, a C.sub.3-8 cycloalkyl group, or a phenyl group optionally substituted with a hydroxy or a phenyl group, orR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together with the nitrogen atom to which they are attached form a 5- to 8-membered ring optionally containing one or more further nitrogen, oxygen, or sulfur atoms, the ring being optionally condensed with another alicyclic or heterocyclic ring, and the nitrogen and/or sulfur atoms being optionally present in the form of an oxide or dioxide,R.sup.3 is a hydrogen atom, a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, or a pyridyl group, each of these groups being optionally substituted with one or more halo atoms or C.sub.1-4 alkoxy groups,Y is a hydrogen atom, a hydroxy group, a C.sub.1-24 alkoxy group optionally substituted with an amino group, a C.sub.2-24 polyalkenyloxy group containing 1 to 6 double bonds, a C.sub.1-25 alkanoyl group, a C.sub.3-9 alkenoyl group, or a group of the formula R.sup.7 COO-- where R.sup.7 is a C.sub.2-30 polyalkenyl group containing 1 to 6 double bonds,X is a halo atom, an amino group, or a C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group, except that X is not an amino group if Y is a hydroxy group, orX and B together are an oxygen atom, or X and Y together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached and the --NR--O--CH.sub.2 -- group between these carbon atoms form a ring of the formula ##STR10##where Z is an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom,R is a hydrogen atom, orR and B together are a chemical bond,A is a C.sub.1-4 alkylene group, a chemical bond, or a group of the formula ##STR11##whereR.sup.4 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group, a C.sub.3-8 cycloalkyl group, or a phenyl group optionally substituted by a halo atom, a C.sub.1-4 alkoxy group, or a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group,R.sup.5 is a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-4 alkyl group, or a phenyl group,m is 0, 1, or 2, andn is 0, 1, or 2,or a physiologically acceptable acid addition salt thereof, as the active ingredient,in admixture with at least one conventional solid or liquid carrier of compositions used in plant protection.
