The present invention relates to N-[2-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl]carboxamide compounds. The present invention relates to novel N-[2-(2-pyridinyl)ethyl]carboxamides' derivatives, their process of preparation, their use as fungicides, particularly in the form of fungicidal compositions, and methods for the control of phytopathogenic fungi of plants using these compounds or their compositions. The international patent application WO 01/11965 discloses a broad family of fungicidal compounds which generically covers the compounds according to the present invention. Nevertheless, the compounds according to the present invention are not specifically disclosed in this document and their activity as fungicides has not been tested. It is always of high-interest in agriculture to use pesticidal compounds more active than the compounds already known by the man ordinary skilled in the art in order to decrease the quantity of active ingredient used by the farmer as to maintain an efficacy at least equivalent to compounds already known. We have now found a new family of compounds selected in a broad family of compounds which possess the above mentioned characteristics.
