Fungicidal composition comprising a pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative and chlorothalonil
View Patent ↗A fungicidal composition comprising at least a pyridylmethylbenzamide derivative of general formula (I) and a chloronitrile derivative which is chlorothalonil; in a compound (I)/chlorothalonil weight ratio of from 0.005 to 1. Method for preventively or curatively combating the phytopathogenic fungi of crops by using this composition.
1. A method for preventively controlling Phytophthora infestans in plants selected
from the group consisting of potatoes and tomatoes comprising applying to the plant and/or the
fruit of the plant an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of a composition comprising:
(a) 2,6-dichloro-N-{[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]methyl}benzamide, also known as fluopicolide; and
(b) chlorothalonil;
in a fluopicolide/chlorothalonil weight ratio of from 1:2 to 1:1, inclusive.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the plant is tomato.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises a member selected from the group consisting of an agriculturally acceptable support, a carrier, a filler, and
a surfactant.
