The compounds of the present invention are herbicidal in both pre- and post-~mergent applications.
For pre-emergent control of undesirable vegetation, the herbicidal compounds will be applied in herbicidally effective amounts to the locus or growth medium o~ the vegetation, e.g., soil infested with seeds and/or seedlings of such vegetation. Such application will inhibit the growth of or kill the seeds, germinating seeds and seedlings. For post-emergent applications, the herbicidal compounds will be applied directly to the foliage and other plant parts. Generally, th~
herbicidal compounds of the invention are effective against weed grasses as well as broadleaved weeds. Some may be selective with respect to the type of application and/or type of weed~
The herbicidal compounds of the present invention can be used alone as herbicides. However, it is generally desirable to apply the compounds in herbicidal compositions comprisiny one or more of the herbicidal compounds intimately admixed with a biologically inert carrier. The carrier may be a liquid diluent or a solid, e.g~, in the form of dust powder or granules. In the herbicidal composition, the active herbicidal compounds can be from about ~.01 to 95% by weight of the entire composition.
Suitable liquid diluent carriers include water and organic solvents, e.g., hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, kerosene, diesel oil, fuel oil, and petroleum e ~S,.

~ 2~i3~

naphtha. Suitable solid carriers are natural clays such as kaolinite, atalpulgite and montmorillonite. In addition, talcs, pyrophillite, diatomaceous silica, synthetic fine silicas, calcium alumino-silicate and tricalcium phosphate are suitable carriers. Organic materials such as walnut-shell flour, cottonseed hulls, wheat flour, wood flour or redwood-bark flour may also be used as solid carriers.
The herbicidal composition will also usually contain a minor amount of a surface-active agent. Such surface agents ælre those commonly known as wetting agents, dispersing agents and emulsifying agents, and can be anionic, cationic or nonionic in character. The herhicidal compositions may also contain other pesticides, adjuvants, stabilizers, conditioners, fillers, and the like.
The amount of herbicidal compound or composition administered will vary with the particular plant part or plant growth medium which is to be contacted, the general location of application -- i.e., sheltered areas such as greenhouses, as compared to exposed areas such as fields -~ as well as the desired type of control.
Generally, for both pre- and post-emergent control, the herbicidal compounds of the invention are applied at rates of 0.2 to ~0 kg/ha, and the preferred rate is in the range 0.5 to 40 kg/ha.
The thioate esters of the invention wherein Y is -SR4 (Formula IX) are also useful for controlling fungi, particularly plant funqal infections caused by Botrytis , ~253~57 cinera, leaf blights caused by organisms such as Septoria a , Alternaria solani con _ia and Phytophthora infestans conidia, powdery mildew caused by organisms such as Erysiphe ~olyqoni and E. chicoraciarum and leaf rust caused by organisms such as Uromyces Phaseoli ty~ica. However, some fungicidal compounds of the invention may be more fungicidally active than others against particular fungi.
When used as fungicides, the thioate esters are applied in fungicidally effective amounts to fungi and/or their habitats, such as vegetative hosts and non-vegetative hosts, e.g., animal products. The amount used will, of course, depend on several factors such as the host, the type of fungus and the particular compound of the invention. As with most pesticidal compounds, the fungicides of the invention are not usually applied full stre~gth, but are generally incorporated with conventional, biologically inert extenders or carriers normally employed for facilitating dispersion of active fungicidal compounds, recognizing that the formulation and mode of application may affect the activity of the fungicide. Thus, the fungicides of the invention may be formulated and applied as granules, as powdery dusts, as wettable powders, as emulsifiable concentrates, as solutions, or as any of several other known types of formulations, depending on the desired mode of application.
Wettable powders are in the form of finely divided particles which disperse readily in water or other 1 .:

3~7 dispersant. These compositions normally contain from about 5-80% fungicide, and the rest inert material, which includes dispersing agents, emulsifying agents and wetting agents. The powder may be applied to the soil as a dry dust, or preferably as a suspension in water. Typical carriers include fuller's earth, kaolin clays, silicas, and other highly absorbent, readily wettable, inorganic diluents. Typical wetting, dispersing or emulsifying agents include, for example:
the aryl and alkylaryl sulfonates and their sodium salts; alkylamide sulfonates, including fatty methyl taurides; alkylaryl polyether alcohols, sulfated higher alcohols, and polyvinyl alcohols; polyethylene oxides, sulfonated animal and vegetable oils; sulfonated petroleum oils, fatty acid esters of polyhydric alcohols and the ethylene oxide addition products of such esters;
and the addition products of long-chain mercaptans and ethylene oxide. Many other types o~ useful surface-active agents are available in commerce. The surface-active agent, when used, normally comprises from 1% to15% by weight of the fungicidal composition.
Dusts are freely flowing admixtures of the active fungicide with fin~ly divided solids such as talc, natural clays, kieselguhr, pyrophyllite, chalk, diatomaceous earths, calcium phosphates, calcium and magnesium carbonates, sul~ur, lime, flours, and other organic and inorganic solids which act as dispersants and carriers for the toxicant. These finely divided solids have an average particle size of less than about ~253~7 50 microns. A typical dust formulation useful herein contains 75% silica and 25% of the t:oxicant.
Use~ul liquid concentrates include the emulsifiable concentrates, which are homogeneous li~uid or paste compositions which are reaclily dispersed in water or other dispersant, and may consist entirely of the fungicide with a liquid or solid emulsifying agent, or may also contain a liquid carrier such as xylene, heavy aromatic naphthas, isopAorone, and other nonvolatile organic solvents. For application, these concentratas ar~ dispersed in water or other liquid carrier, and are normally applied as a spray to the area to be treated.
Other useful formulations for fungicidal applications include simple solutions of the active fungicide in a dispersant in which it is completely soluble at the desired concentration, such as acetone, alkylated naphthalenes, xylene, or other organic solvents. Granular formulations, wherein the fungicide is carried on relatively coarse particles, are of particular utility for aerial distribution or for penetration of cover-crop canopy. Pressurized sprays, typically aerosols wherein the active ingredient is dispersed in finely divided form as a result of vaporization of a low-boiling dispersant solvent carrier, such as the Freons, may also ~e used. All of those techniques for formulating and applying fungicides are well known in the art.
The percentages by weight of the fungicide may vary according to the manner in which the composition is ~2~35 5L~

23a to be applied and the particular type of formulation, but in general comprise 0.5 to 95% of the toxicant by weight of the fungicidal composition.
The fungicidal compositions may be formulated and applied with other active ingredients, including other fungicides, insecticides, nematocides, bactericides, plant growth regulators, fertilizers, etc.
Exdmple 9 -~ Herbicidal Tests Pre-emergent herbicidal tests with representative compounds of the invention were made using the following method:
An acetone solution o~ the test compound was prepared by mixing 750 mg of the compound, 220 mg of a nonionic surfactant and 25 ml of acetone. This solution was added to approximately 125 ml of water containing 156 mg of surfactant.
Seeds of the test vegetation were planted in a pot of soil and the test solution was sprayed uniformly onto the soil surface at a dose of 33 micrograms/cm~.
The pot was watered and placed in a greenhouse. The pot was watered intermittently and was observed for seedling emergence, health of emerging seedlings, etc., for a 3-week period. At the end of this period, the herbicidal effectiveness of the compound was rated based on the physiological observations. A 0-to-100 scale was used, 0 repressnting no phytotoxicity, 100 representing Fomplete kill. The results of these tests i ' /

Example 10 -- Tomato Late Bliqht Compounds of the invention werle tested for th~
control of the Tomato Late ~light o:rganism Phytophthora infestans conidia. Five- to six-week-old tomato (variety Bonny Best) seedlings were used. The tomato plants were sprayed with a 250-ppm solution of the test compound in acetone, water and a small amount o~ a nonionic emulsifier. The sprayed plants were then inoculated one day later with the organism, placed in an environmental chamber and incubated at 66-68F and 100%
relative humidity ~or at least 16 hours. Following the incubation, the plants were allowed to dry and then were maintained at 60-80~ relative humidity for approximately 7 days. The percent disease control provided by a given test compound was based on the percent disease reduction relative to untreated check plants. Representative compounds tabulated in Table I
were tested, and compound Nos. 5(a)-5(b), 5(f)-5(h) and
5(j)-5(n) were found to give 18 to 63% control.
