SUMMARY A number of bis‐[(i‐formamido‐2,2,2‐trichloro)ethylamino]‐alkanes and their dioxy and dithio analogues were examined for direct and systemic antifungal activity. All compounds showed very low in vitro fungitoxicity and only slight protectant anti‐mildew activity when applied as a foliar spray. Certain diamino and dioxy derivatives were, however, systemically active against powdery mildew fungi when applied as a root drench to seedlings of wheat or cucumber; the dithio analogues were inactive. The level of systemic activity shown by these compounds was markedly influenced by the nature of the hydrocarbon ‘bridging’ group.
