Fungicide compositions based on pyridylmethylbenzamide and propamocarb derivative
View Patent ↗1) Fungicidal compositions comprising: a) at least one pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative of formula (I): in which the various radicals are as defined in the description, and b) at least one compound (II), which is propamocarb. 2) Method of curatively or preventively combating phytopathogenic fungi in crops, characterized in that an effective, nonphytotoxic amount of one of these fungicidal compositions is applied to the aerial parts of the plants.
1. A synergistic fungicidal compositions comprising:
a) at least one pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative selected from the group consisting of 2,6-dichloro-N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}benzamide, N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}-2-fluoro-6-nitrobenzamide, and N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}-2-methyl-6-nitrobenzamide and their possible optical and/or geometric isomers, tautomers and addition salts with an acid or a base that are acceptable in the agricultural field; and
b) a compound (II), which is propamocarb;
wherein the compound (I)/compound (II) weight ratio is between 1/140 and 1/10.
2. The fungicidal composition of claim 1 wherein the pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative is 2,6-dichloro-N{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}benzamide.
3. The fungicidal composition of claim 1 further comprising an agriculturally suitable inert vehicle and optionally an agriculturally suitable surfactant.
4. The fungicidal composition of claim 1 wherein said composition comprises from 0.5 to 99% of the combination of the pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative(s) and the propamocarb.
5. A method of combating phytopathogenic fungi in crops comprising applying an agronomically effective, nonphytotoxic amount of the fungicidal composition of claim 1 to soil in which the crops are growing or are liable to grow, to leaves and/or the fruits of the crops or to the seeds of the crops.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the fungicidal composition is applied by spraying a liquid onto aerial parts of the crops to be treated.
7. The method of claim 5 wherein the amount of fungicidal composition corresponds to a dose of the pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative(s) and the propamocarb between approximately 1 g/ha and approximately 1 000 g/ha.
8. The method of claim 5 wherein the treated crop is selected from the group consisting of tomato, potato and grapevine.
9. The method of claim 6 wherein amount of fungicidal composition corresponds to a dose of the pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative(s) and propamocarb between approximately 1 g/ha and approximately 1 000 g/ha.
10. The method of claim 8 wherein phytopathogenic fungus combated is downy mildew in tomatoes, potatoes and grapevines.
11. A product comprising
(A) at least one pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative selected from the group consisting of 2,6-dichloro-N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}benzamide and N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}-2-methyl-6-nitrobenzamide; and
(B) propamocarb;
as a combined preparation for simultaneous, separate or sequential use in combating phytopathogenic fungi in crops in one locus;
wherein weight ratio is of (A) to (B) is between 1/140 and 1/10.
12. A fungicidal composition comprising:
(A) at least one pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative selected from the group consisting of 2,6-dichloro-N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}benzamide and N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}-2-methyl-6-nitrobenzamide; and
(B) propamocarb;
wherein weight ratio is of (A) to (B) is between 1/140 and 1/10.
