The compounds are also suitable as anti-slime agents in the paper industry, in cooling towers and in air moistening units. ‘The compounds I are also suitable for protecting the following plant species against attack by microorgan- isms: cereals (e-g., wheat, barley, rye, oats, rice, sorghum and related species); beets (eg, sugar and fodder beets); pomes, drupes and aggregate fruit (©. apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, raspberries and. blackberries); leg” ‘umes (€.g, beans, Ientils, peas, soybeans); ol-yield- ing erops (e-., rape, mustard, poppies, olives, sun- flowers, coconuts, castor-oil beans, cocoa beans, groundnuts); eucurbits (¢g., pumpkins, cucumbers, melons); fiber-vielding plants (eg., cotton, flax, hhemp, jute), citrus fruit (eg., oranges, lemons, arapeftvit, tangerines); vegetables (e.g, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbage varieties, carrots, on- ions, tomatoes, potatoes, paprika); laurel species (eg, avocado, cinnamomum, camphor) or plants such as Indian corn, tobacco, nuts, coffee, sugar cane, tea, grapes, hops, and banana and rubber trees. For the purposes ofthe present invention, the term “plants” is also taken to mean all types of other green growth, whether ornamentals, grassy areas, embankments, or generally low-growing cover crops For example the following microorganisms may be ‘combatted with the novel compounds I: Straphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Klebselle pneumoniae, Citrobacter freundii, Proteus vulgaris, Pseudomonas aeruginose, Desulfovibrio. desulfur- ‘cans, Streptovertcilium rubrireticull..

The applica- tion forms depend entirely on the purposes for which they are intended; they should at all events ensure a fine and uniform distribution of the active ingredient. The formulations are produced in known manner, for exam- ple by extending the active ingredient with solvents and/or carriers, with or without the use of emulsifiers and dispersants; if water is used as solvent, itis also possible to employ other organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Suitable auxiliaries for this purpose are sol- vents such as aromatics (@.g., xylene), chlorinated aro- ‘matics (¢g., chlorobenzenes), paraffins (eg, crude oil fractions), alcohols (€.g., methanol, butanol), ketones (eg, cyclohexanone), amines (eg., ethanolamine, dic 5,438,070 19 ‘methylformamide), and water; carriers such as ground natural minerals (c.g, kaolins, aluminas, talc and chalk) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g., highly disperse silica and silicates); emulsifiers such as nonionic and anionic emulsifiers (e-g., polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol 5 ethers, alkyl sulfonates and ary] sulfonates); and disper- ‘sants such as lignin-sulfite waste liquors and methyleel- Iulose. The fungicides generally contain from 0.1 to 95, and preferably from 0.5 to 90, wt % of active ingredient. ‘The active ingredients are used in a purity of from 90 to 100, and preferably from 95 to 100, % (according to the NMR/HPLC/GC spectrum). Usual application concentrations are—based on the ‘weight of the material to be protected—from 0.001 to 5, and preferably from 0.01 to 2, wt % of active ingredi- cent; when the active ingredients are used for treating water, in oil production, in drilling and cutting oils, fuels, in swimming baths, cooling towers, air moistening units or in the paper industry, amounts of from 5 to 00 ppm are sufficient. Ready-to-use disinfectant solutions contain for instance from 0.5 to 10 wt % of active ingre- dient. ‘Examples of such formulations are given below: L.A solution of 90 parts by weight of compound no. 7 and 10 parts by weight of N-methyl-a-pyrrolidone, which is suitable for application in the form of very fine drops. IL. A mixture of 20 parts by weight of compound no. 2, 80 parts by weight of aylene, 10 parts by weight of 30 the adduct of 8 to 10 moles of ethylene oxide and I mole of oleic acid-N-monoethanolamide, 5 parts by weight of the calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, and 5 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 moles of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of castor oil. By finely dispersing the ‘mixture in 100,000 parts by weight of water, an aqueous dispersion is obtained. IIL.

An aqueous dispersion of 20 parts by weight of 45 compound no. 3, 25 parts by weight of cyclohexanol, 65 parts by weight of a mineral oil fraction having a boiling point between 210° and 280° C., and 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 moles of ethylene oxide and 1 mole of castor oil. The mixture of this dispersion with 100,000 50 parts by weight of water contains 0.02 wt % of the active ingredient, ‘V. A hammer-milled mixture of 80 parts by weight of compound no. 1, 3 parts by weight of the sodium salt of diisobutyinaphthalene-a-sulfonic acid, 10 parts by weight of the sodium salt of a lignin-sulfonic acid ob- tained from a sulfite waste liquor, and 7 parts by weight of powdered silica gel. By finely dispersing the mixture in 20,000 parts by weight of water, a spray liquor con- taining 0.1 wt % of the active ingredient is obtained. VI. An intimate mixture of 3 parts by weight of com- pound no. Sand 97 parts by weight of particulate kaolin. ‘The dust contains 3 wt % of the active ingredient. ‘VIL. An intimate mixture of 30 parts by weight of ‘compound no. 6, 92 parts by weight of powdered silica gel and & parts by weight of paraffin oil sprayed onto the surface of this silica gel.

By finely ispersing the mixture in 10,000 parts by weight of ‘water, a spray liquor containing 0.1 wt % of the active ingredient is obtained. ‘Used alone, the active ingredients act as low-foaming biocides. A significant increase in the action of biocidal formulations containing these compounds is achieved if tri-Ce- to Ciz-alkylmethylammonium salts, preferably in amounts of from 20 to 40 wt %, based on the weight of compounds of the general formula I, are added. The active ingredients may also be mixed with other, prior art, mierobicides. In many instances, a synergistic effect is achieved, ic, the microbicidal action of the ‘mixture is greater than the added actions of its individ- ual components. Prior art microbicides may be added to the novel substances in a weight ratio of from 1:100 to 100-1 ‘Examples of such active ingredients are as follows: 2-{thiocyanomethylthio)-benzothiazole 1-[2-(,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-(-propenyloxy)-thyl]-1H- ‘imidazole 2,4,5,6-ttrachloroisophthalodiniteile mcthylene bisthiocyanate tributyltin oxide, naphthenate, benzoate, salicylate mercaptobenzothiazole 1,2-benzisothiazolone and its alkali metal salts alkali metal compounds of N'-hydroxy-N-cyclohexyl- diazenium oxide 2-{methoxycarbonylamino)-benzimidazole 2-methyl-3-oxo-5-chlorothiazolin-3-one trihydroxymethyinitromethane slutardialdehyde chloroacetamide polyhexamethylene bisguanide S-chloro-2-methyl--isothiazoli salts 3,5-dimethyltetrahydro-1,3,5-2H-thiadiazine-2-thione hnexahydrotriazine N.N-methylolchloroacetamide 2en-octyl-tisothiazolin-3-one ‘oxazolidines bisoxazolidines 2,5-dihydro-2,5-dialkony-2,5-dialkylfurans iethyldodecyTbenzylammonium chloride ‘dimethyloctadecyidimethylbenzylammonium chloride
