1. Field of the Invention Alkoxyimino-substituted bicyclic derivatives or salts thereof having an excellent effect of controlling diseases and insect pests are disclosed. These derivatives are represented by the following formula (I): wherein Rrepresents, for example, a hydrogen atom, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a halogenated C1-C6 alkyl group, a C3-C5 alkenyl group, a halogenated C3-C5 alkenyl group, a C3-C5 alkynyl group or a halogenated C3-C5 alkynyl group, R, R, Rand Rindependently represent, for example, a hydrogen atom, a C1-C3 alkyl group or a halogenated C1-C3 alkyl group, A represents, for example, an oxygen atom, n represents 0, 1 or 2, X and Y independently represent, for example, a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a C1-C3 alkyl group, Z represents C(COCH) CHR, C(COCH) NOCH, C(CONHCH) NOCH, C(CSNHCH) NOCH, N(COCH)OCH, N(CONHCH)OCH(Rrepresents, for example, a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an ethyl group or a methoxy group), and U, V and W independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, a C1-C6 alkyl group, a cyano group or a nitro group.
