Branched aminoalkanephosphonic acids and phosphonic acid derivatives, i.e. compounds containing at least one alkyl substituent in the a-position of the phosphonic group are used as fungicides. They are particularly suitable for control of phytopathogenic fungi and for use as wood preservatives. 1-aminopropanephosphonic acid has been found very effective against several fungi and salts of the acids are also useful. The compounds can be used for example as seed-dressing agents and as foliar fungicides and they can be used in compositions with conventional solid and liquid carriers.
