Fungicidal composition comprising in particular an oil of plant origin with high siccative power
View Patent ↗The subject of the present invention is a fungicidal composition useful for the treatment of fungal diseases of crops and which comprises in particular at least one vegetable oil with high siccative power, as well as a method of treating crops using such a composition.
1. A fungicidal composition consisting essentially of at least one fungicidal compound A, iprodione, and at least one oil B, this oil being of plant origin and possessing a high siccative power selected from the group consisting of linseed, sunflower, soya bean, maize, cottonseed, safflower and rapeseed oils, and possessing an iodine value greater than 90, wherein the compound B/compound A weight ratio is between 0.15 and 1.6.
2. The fungicidal composition of claim 1 wherein the compound B/compound A weight ratio is 0.45.
3. The fungicidal composition of claim 1 wherein compounds A and B represent from 0.5 to 95% by weight of the said composition.
4. A method of treatment for combating fungal diseases of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic dose of the composition of claim 1 to the aerial parts of the plants.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the crops are selected from the group consisting of cereals, protein-rich plants, oil-producing plants, peas, rapeseed, sunflower, maize, vine, potato, tomato, vegetable crops, rice, arboriculture, citrus and turf.
6. The method of treatment of claim 4 wherein a dose of between 250 and 1000 g/ha of compound A and between 0.25 and 0.45 times the dose of compound A of compound B is applied.
7. A fungicidal composition consisting essentially of:
(i) at least one fungicidal compound A, said fungicidal compound A being iprodione; and
(ii) at least one oil B, said oil B being of plant origin, possessing a high siccative power, and possessing an iodine value greater than 150, wherein the compound B/compound A weight ratio is between 0.15 and 1.6.
8. A method of treatment for combating fungal diseases of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic dose of the composition of claim 7 to the aerial parts of the plants.
9. A fungicidal composition consisting essentially of:
(i) at least one fungicidal compound A, said fungicidal compound A being iprodione; and
(ii) at least one oil B, said oil B being sunflower oil and possessing a high siccative power, wherein the compound B/compound A weight ratio is between 0.15 and 1.6.
10. A method of treatment for combating fungal diseases of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic dose of the composition of claim 9 to the aerial parts of the plants.
11. A fungicidal composition consisting essentially of:
(i) at least one fungicidal compound A, said fungicidal compound A being iprodione; and
(ii) at least one oil B selected from the group consisting of linseed, sunflower, soya bean, maize, cottonseed, safflower and rapeseed oils, said oil possessing a high siccative power, wherein the compound B/compound A weight ratio is 0.45.
12. A method of treatment for combating fungal diseases of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic dose of the composition of claim 11 to the aerial parts of the plants.
