The present inventors carried out an intensive research based on these findings and have com A lot of microbicides have ever been synthesized and used pleted the present invention. Thus, the present invention as microbicides for agriculture or horticulture. They have relates to: contributed greatly to Supply agricultural products con 1 A microbicidal composition for agricultural or horti stantly. However, it is well-known that frequent use of 15 cultural use comprising a compound of Formula (I): restricted number of compounds has led to outbreak of microbes which are resistant to those drugs. In addition, Al-X-SO-N-Bl recent rise in demand for the Safety and environmental influence of chemical Substances has made it desirable to 71 develop Safer microbicides for agricultural or horticultural use. This has given an intention to the researches to explore or a salt thereof and research novel compounds with microbicidal activity. wherein A' is (1) an aryl group which may be substituted AS for Sulfonamide derivatives, a lot of compounds have or (2) a heterocyclic group which may be Substituted, also been Synthesized So far from the interests in their X" is (1) a chemical bond, (2) a methylene group which biological or chemical characteristics.
