Claim 1

A 1-[1,2,4-triazolyl-(1)]-2-aryloxy-3-hydroxyalkane of the formula ##EQU13##in which R 1 is optionally monosubstituted or polysubstituted phenyl or naphthyl, the substituents being selected from halogen, straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkoxy, alkylthio and alkylsulfonyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, halogenoalkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms and 1 to 5 halogen atoms, halogenoalkoxy and halogenoalkylthio with 1 or 2 carbon atoms and 3 to 5 halogen atoms, alkoxycarbonyl with 1 to 4 carbon atoms in the alkoxy moiety, phenyl in the o- or p- position, amino and nitro, R 2 is hydrogen; alkyl with up to 6 carbon atoms; optionally substituted phenyl or naphthyl or phenalkyl or naphthalkyl with 1 or 2 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety, substituents on the phenyl or naphthyl radicals being selected from fluorine, chlorine, alkyl with up to 4 carbon atoms and alkoxy with up to 4 carbon atoms; allyl or cyclohexyl, and R 3 is straight-chain or branched alkyl with 1 to 6 carbon atoms, or cycloalkyl with 5 to 7 carbon atoms, or can be hydrogen if R 2 does not denote hydrogen, or a salt thereof with fungicidal activity.
