Abstract

There are described novel compounds of the formula I defined herein: ##STR1## which have valuable microbicidal properties. The novel compounds can be used for combating microorganisms harmful to plants, particularly for combating phytopathogenic fungi. The compounds of the formula I thus have a very favorable curative and preventive action for practical requirements for the protection of cultivated plants, without the plants being impaired as a result of undesirable secondary effects. The compounds can be used in practice on their own or in the form of pesticidal compositions.
