Abstract: Hydroximic acid derivatives possess anti-ischemic effects, and therefore, they are useful for treating ischemic states and diseases, such as myocardial ischemia (which may be induced by occlusion of coronary arteries). These derivatives include compounds of formula (I): ##STR1## wherein: X represents a halogen; Z represents an aromatic group, a pyridinyl group, a picolyl group, or a lutidyl group; and R represents an --A--N(R.sub.1)R.sub.2 group, wherein:R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 represent, independently from each other, hydrogen or an alkyl group;or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, form a 5- to 7-membered,saturated heterocyclic group optionally containing an additional nitrogen, oxygen,or sulfur atom, the heterocyclic group optionally being substituted by at least one alkyl group; andA represents a straight or branched chain alkylene group, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable acid addition salts thereof.

Abstract: New herbicidal compounds of the formula (I) ##STR1## wherein A is oxygen or sulfur;B is O-C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, O-C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alkenyl, O-C.sub.6 to C.sub.10 aryl, O-C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 -alkoxy-C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, S-C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl or dimethylamino; andX is chloro, bromo or iodo, are disclosed, as well as herbicidal compositions containing said compounds.

Abstract: The invention relates to carbofurane-containing plant protecting compositions. More particularly, the invention concerns insecticide compositions with improved plant growth accelerating properties, containing 1 to 50% by weight of 2,3-dihydro-2,3-dimethyl-7-benzofuranol methylcarbamate optionally along with usual amounts of additives conventionally used in the manufacture of plant protecting compositions, which comprises 50 to 99% by weight of a carrier granulate prepared by partial hydrolysis of vegetable waste matters, preferably corn-cob, corn-stalk, chopped wood or sawdust derived from broad leaved trees, rice hull, read or broaken reed, known per se.

Abstract: The invention relates to new synergistic fungicidal compositions comprising a mixture of (a) methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate or a precursor thereof, such as methyl 1-(butylcarbamoyl)-2-benzimidazolecarbamate and 1,2-bis(3-methoxy-carbonyl-2-thioureido)benzene and (b) 1H-.alpha.-butyl-.alpha.-phenylimidazol-1-yl-propanenitrile.
