The fact that the active compounds are well tolerated by plants at the concentrations l5 required for controlling plant diseases permits the treatment of above-ground parts of plants, of propagation stock and seeds, and of the soil. The active compounds according to the invention can be employed particularly successfully for controlling diseases in viticulture and fruit and vegetable growing 20 such as, for example, against Venturia, Botrytis, Sclerotinia, Rhizoctonia, Uncinula, Sphaerotheca, Podosphaera, Alternaria and Colletotrichum. Rice diseases, such as Pyricularia and Pellicularia species, are likewise controlled with good results. The active compounds according to the invention are also suitable for increasing the 25 yield of crops. In addition, they show reduced toxicity and are well tolerated by plants. 1 According to the invention, it is possible to treat all plants and parts of plants. By plants are understood here all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and ■3 Le A 34 484-Foreign Countries optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which can or cannot be protected by varietal property rights. Parts of plants are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and below-ground parts and \5 organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit-bodies, fruits and seeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. Parts of plants also include harvested plants and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds. 10 In the protection of materials, the compounds according to the invention can be employed for protecting industrial materials against infection with, and destruction by, undesired microorganisms. 15 Industrial materials in the present context are understood as meaning non-living materials which have been prepared for use in industry. For example, industrial materials which are intended to be protected by active compounds according to the invention from microbial change or destruction can be adhesives, sizes, paper and board, textiles, leather, wood, paints and plastic articles, cooling lubricants and other 20 materials which can be infected with, or destroyed by, microorganisms. Parts of production plants, for example cooling-water circuits, which may be impaired by the proliferation of microorganisms may also be mentioned within the scope of the materials to be protected. Industrial materials which may be mentioned within the scope of the present invention are preferably adhesives, sizes, paper and board, 25 leather, wood, paints, cooling lubricants and heat-transfer liquids particularly preferably wood. Microorganisms capable of degrading or changing the industrial materials which may be mentioned are, for example, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, algae and slime organisms. 30 The active compounds according to the invention preferably act against fungi, in Le A 34 484-Foreign Countries particular moulds, wood-discolouring and wood-destroying fungi (Basidiomycetes), and against slime organisms and algae. Microorganisms of the following genera may be mentioned as examples: 5 Alternaria, such as Alternaria tenuis, Aspergillus, such as Aspergillus niger, Chaetomium, such as Chaetomium globosum, Coniophora, such as Coniophora puetana, Lentinus, such as Lentinus tigrinus, 10 Penicillium, such as Penicillium glaucum, Polyporus, such as Polyporus versicolor, Aureobasidium, such as Aureobasidium pullulans, Sclerophoma, such as Sclerophoma pityophila, Trichoderma, such as Trichoderma viride, Escherichia, such as Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus, such as Staphylococcus aureus. Depending on their particular physical and/or chemical properties, the active 20 compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols and microencapsulations in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seeds, and ULV cool and warm fogging formulations. 25 These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers. If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such Le A 34 484-Foreign Countries as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or dimethyl sulphoxide, or else water. Liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are to be understood as meaning liquids which are gaseous at standard temperature and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants such as halogenated hydrocarbons, or else butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. Suitable solid carriers are: for example ground natural minerals such 10 as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates.

Le A 34 484-Foreign Countries A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, or with fertilizers and growth regulators, is also possible. In addition, the compounds of the formula (I) according to the invention also have 5 very good antimycotic activity. They have a very broad antimycotic activity spectrum in particular against dermatophytes and yeasts, moulds and diphasic fungi, for example against Candida species, such as Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Epidermophyton species, such as Epidermophyton floccosum, Aspergillus species, 1 d such as Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton species, such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Microsporon species such as Microsporon cams and audouinii. 1 The list of these fungi by no means limits the mycotic spectrum covered, but is only for illustration. I The active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or the use 1 forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, wettable I powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusts and granules. Application is carried out in a 20 customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, broadcasting, dusting, foaming, spreading, etc. It is furthermore possible to apply the active compounds by the ultra-low volume method, or to inject the active compound preparation or the active compound itself into the soil. It is also possible to treat the seeds of the plants. 25 When using the active compounds according to the invention as fungicides, the application rates can be varied within a relatively wide range, depending on the kind of J application. For the treatment of parts of plants, the active compound application rates J are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 10 and 1000 g/ha. For 30) seed dressing, the active compound application rates are generally between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably between 0.01 and 10 g per kilogram of seed. For Le A 34 484-Foreign Countries the treatment of the soil, the active compound application rates are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g/ha, preferably between 1 and 5000 g/ha. The compositions used for protecting industrial materials comprise the active compounds generally in an amount of from 1 to 95%, preferably from 10 to 75%. The use concentrations of the active compounds according to the invention depend on the nature and occurrence of the microorganisms to be controlled and on the composition of the material to be protected. The optimum amount employed can be 10 determined by a series of tests. In general, the use concentrations are in the range from 0.001 to 5% by weight, preferably from 0.05 to 1.0% by weight, based on the material to be protected. 15 20 The activity and the activity spectrum of the active compounds to be used according to the invention in material protection, or the compositions, concentrates or quite generally formulations preparable therefrom can be increased by adding, if appropriate, further antimicrobially active compounds, fungicides, bactericides, herbicides, insecticides or other active compounds for widening the activity spectrum or obtaining particular effects, such as, for example, additional protection against insects. These mixtures may have a wider activity spectrum than the compounds according to the invention. The preparation and the use of the active compounds according to the invention is shown in the examples below. 42 Process (a): At room temperature, a solution of 1.3 g (0.0057 mol) of 2"-amino-l,l"-biphenyl-4-carbaldehyde O-methyloximine in 20 ml of toluene is admixed with 0.57 g (0.0057 mol) of triethylamine.
