Disclosed as novel compounds are (trifluoromethyl)pyridine derivatives which are substituted by a hydroxy, mercapto, alkoxy, loweralkenoxy, aryloxy, alkylthio, arylthio, alkylsulfonyl, arylsufonyl, amino, hydrazino or oxyloweralkanoic acid or acid derivative group and optionally by chlorine and/or fluorine. Any remaining positions on the pyridine ring are taken up by hydrogen. The compounds have utility as herbicides and as active constituents of various miticidal, anthelmintic, fungicidal and bacteriocidal compositions. |
