Abstract

N-(4-Pyridyl or 4-quinolinyl) arylacetamides, for example N-((3-chloro-2-ethyl)-4-pyridyl)(4-(4-chlorophenoxy) phenyl)-acetamide, and 4-(aralkyoxy or aralkylamino)pyridines, for example 4-[2-[4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenyl]ethoxy]pyridine, are active against nematodes, insects, mites, and plant pathogens.

Claims

1. A compound of the formula:

##STR116## or an N-oxide or a salt thereof, wherein R¹ is H or F;

Y'"'"' is CH₂ ;

a phenyl group optionally substituted with one or two groups independently selected from;

halo,

phenoxy, optionally substituted with one or two groups selected from halo, CN, NO₂, C₁ -C₄ -alkoxy, C₁ -C₄ alkyl, C₁ -C₄ haloalkyl;

phenyl,

C₁ -C₅ alkyl, straight chain or branched,

C₁ -C₄ haloalkyl;

C₁ -C₄ alkoxy;

C₃ -C₇ branched alkoxy;

halo (C₁ -C₄) alkoxy;

halo (C₃ -C₇) branched alkoxy.

3. A pesticide composition which comprises an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 in combination with an agriculturally acceptable carrier.

4. A method of inhibiting an insect or mite population which comprises applying to the locus of the insect or arachnid an effective insect or mite inactivating amount of a compound of claim 1.

5. A method of inhibiting a nematode population which comprises applying to the locus of a nematode, an amount of a compound of claim 1 effective to inactivate nematodes.

6. A method of inhibiting plant pathogens which comprises applying an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 to a locus of the pathogen.

2. N-(8-fluoro-4-quinolinyl) (4-((4-chlorophenyl) oxy)phenyl)acetamide.
