Abstract: The invention relates to novel substituted 1,3,5-oxadiazin-2-ones of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.4 are each independently of the other C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 -cycloalkyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alkenyl, C.sub.3 -C.sub.4 alkynyl, phenyl, or benzyl;R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each independently of the other hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, or R.sub.2 and R.sub.3, together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, are C.sub.3 -C.sub.6 cycloalkyl; andn is 0, 1 or 2;to the preparation of these compounds and to compositions containing them for use in pest control, in particular for controlling insects and representatives of the order Acarina that attack plants and animals. In particular, the novel compounds are very effective against plant-destructive sucking and feeding insects.

Abstract: 1-Aryl-5-alkoximinoalkylamino-pyrazoles of the formula ##STR1## in which R represents cyano or nitro, or represents an optionally substituted heterocyclic radical,R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or alkyl,R.sup.2 represents hydrogen or alkyl, or represents optionally substituted aryl,R.sup.3 represents hydrogen, alkyl or alkenyl, or represents in each case optionally substituted aralkyl or aryl andAr represents optionally substituted phenyl or pyridyl,are active as herbicides and plant growth regulants. Compounds of the formula ##STR2## in which R" has the same definition as R other than cyano, are also active and useful as intermediates as well.

Abstract: Novel N-(heterocyclicaminocarbonyl) substituted thiophene-, furan- and pyrrolesulfonamides, such as N-[(4-methoxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-6,7-dihydro-5H-thieno- [3,2-b]thiopyran-3-sulfonamide, 4,4-dioxide and N-[(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)aminocarbonyl]-6,7-dihydro-5H-thieno[3,2-b ]thiopyran-3-sulfonamide, 4,4-dioxide and their method-of-use as herbicides are described.
