SUBSTITUTED PYRIDAZINES,THEIR USE AS PLANT GROWTH REGULATORS,AND PLANT GROWTH REGULATING COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING THEM

摘要

The substituted pyridazines, which are novel compounds exhibiting plant growth regulatory activity, are compounds of Formula I below: wherein: R<1> is phenyl or naphthyl each optionally substituted with up to three of the same or different substituents selected from halogen, (C1-C4)alkyl, (C1-C4)alkoxy, alkoxy(C1-C4)carbonyl, trihalomethyl, nitro and cyano; Y is Z<1>R<3> or NR<7>R<8> wherein Z<1> is O or S; R<3> is hydrogen, (C1-C6)alkyl, hydroxy(C1-C6)alkyl, (C1-C4)alkoxy(C1-C4)alkyl, (C3-C6)cycloalkyl, (C3-C6)cycloalkyl(C1-C4)alkyl, halol(C1-C3)alkyl containing up to three halogens, phenyl or benzyl; and R<7> and R<8> (a) are the same or different and are selected from hydrogen, (C1-C4)alkyl, (C1-C4)alkyl substituted with a carboxyl group and (C1-C4)alkoxy substituted with a carboxyl group or (b) are joined together and form an alkylene group having up to 5 carbon atoms; Z is O or S; R<5> is (C1-C4)alkyl or phenyl(C1-C4)alkyl; and R<6> is (C1-C4)alkyl or phenyl(C1-C4)alkyl; and agronomically acceptable derivatives of compounds of Formula I being metal and ammonium salts, acid addition salts and quaternary ammonium addition salts.
