Abstract: The present application discloses herbicidal substituted-phenyl-1,2,4-Triazole-5(1H)-thiones and -ones, herbicidal compositions containing these compounds, methods of preparing them, and methods for controlling undesired plant growth by preemrgence and/or postemergence application of the herbicidal compositions to the locus where control is desired. The herbicidal compounds are compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein Ar is selected from ##STR2## R is selected from haloalkyl; R.sup.1 is selected from alkyl;R.sup.2 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl haloalkoxy, haloalkyl, alkoxy, alkynyl, alkylthio, nitro, amino and cyano;R.sup.3 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkynyl, nitro, amino, mono- or disubstituted amino, cyano and hydroxyR.sup.3 is selected from hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, alkynyl, nitro, amino, mono- or disubstituted amino, cyano and hydroxy;R.sup.

Abstract: Hydrazinecarboxamides and carbothioamides of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from alkyl, cyanoalkyl, hydroxyalkyl, and benzyl, R.sub.2 is hydrogen or alkyl, Y is oxygen or sulfur, n is 0-5, and Z is substituted for hydrogen and independently selected from halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, phenoxy, trifluoromethyl, and nitro are useful as nematicides when applied to or incorporated into nematode-infested soil.
