The present invention relates to phenylpyridines of formula (I)

##STR00001##

wherein the variables are defined according to the description, processes and intermediates for preparing the phenylpyridines of the formula (I), compositions comprising them and their use as herbicides, i.e. for controlling harmful plants, and also a method for controlling unwanted vegetation which comprises allowing a herbicidal effective amount of at least one phenylpyridine of the formula (I) to act on plants, their seed and/or their habitat.

The invention provides a method for inactivation or reduction of pathogens, microorganisms or parasites in a sample, media, composition, utility, device, surface or organism by treatment with an alkylating compound of Structure I, followed by elimination or reduction of the residual compound with Structure I by treatment with a neutralizing agent, which eliminates or reduces the toxicity or other undesirable properties of the alkylating compound with Structure I. The neutralizing agent may be present in a treatment solution or be part of a solid-phase agent, and preferably acts by eliminating the alkylating properties of the compound of Structure I.
