Some of the com hetero atom selected from O, S, SO, SO2, or SiR20R21, pounds have also demonstrated insecticidal and mitici 10 dal activity. The invention also provides compositions where R20 and R2 are as defined above and optionally and combination products that contain a compound of substituted with halo, halo (C1-C4) alkoxy, hydroxy, the invention as active ingredient, as well as providing (C3-C8) cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl, or (C1-C4) acyl; fungicidal, miticidal, and insecticidal methods. (b) (C3-Cs) cycloalkyl or cycloalkenyl, optionally There is an acute need for new fungicides, insecti 15 substituted with (C1-C4) alkyl, (C1-C4) alkoxy, halo cides, and miticides, because target pathogens are rap (C1-C4) alkyl, halo (C1-C4) alkoxy, halo, hydroxy, or idly developing resistance to currently used pesticides. (C1-C4) acyl; Widespread failure of N-substituted azole fungicides to (c) a phenyl group of the formula (2) control barley mildew was observed in 1983, and has been attributed to the development of resistance. At 20 least 50 species of fungi have developed resistance to (2) the benzimidazole fungicides. The field performance of DMI (demethylation inhibitor) fungicides, which are now widely relied on to protect cereal crops from pow dery mildew, has declined since they were introduced 25 in the 1970's. Even recently introduced fungicides, like the acylalanines, which initially exhibited excellent con trol of potato late blight and grape downy mildew in the where field, have become less effective because of widespread R6 to R10 are independently H, halo, I, (C1-C10) alkyl, resistance. Similarly, mites and insects are developing 30 resistance to the miticides and insecticides in current (C3-C8) alkenyl or -alkynyl, branched (C3-C6) alkyl, use. Resistance to insecticides in arthropods is wide -alkenyl, or -alkynyl, (C3-C8) cycloalkyl or -cycloalke spread, with at least 400 species resistant to one or more nyl, halo (C1-C7) alkyl, (C1-C7) alkoxy, (C-C7) alkyl insecticides. The development of resistance to some of thio, halo (C1-C7) alkoxy, phenoxy, substituted phe the older insecticides, such as DDT, the carbamates, 35 noxy, phenylthio, substituted phenylthio, phenyl, sub and the organophosphates, is well known. But resis stituted phenyl, NO2, acetoxy, OH, CN, SiR11R2R3, tance has even developed to some of the newer pyre OSiR 11R12R13, NR14R15, S(O)R16, or SOR17 where throid insecticides and miticides. Therefore a need ex Ril, R12, and R3 are independently (C1-C4) alkyl, ists for new fungicides, insecticides, and miticides. (C3-C4) branched alkyl, phenyl, or substituted phenyl, 40 R“ and R1s are independently H, (C1-C4) alkyl, or SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION (C3-C4) acyl, and R6 and R 7 are (C1-C10) alkyl, This invention provides compounds of the formula phenyl, or substituted phenyl; (1): (d) a furyl group of formula (3) 45 X-Y-Z (1) (3) 2.
