A composition further comprising an additional fungicidal compound. A method for preventively or curatively combating the phytopathogenic fungi of crops by using this composition.
1. A composition comprising:
(A) a pyridylethylbenzamide derivative selected from the group consisting of:
N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl}-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide;
N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl}-2-iodobenzamide; and
N-{2-[3,5-dichloro-2-pyridinyl]ethyl}-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide;
and the N-oxides of 2-pyridine thereof; and
(B) a compound capable of inhibiting methionine biosynthesis selected from the group consisting of cyprodinil, mepanipyrim, and pyrimethanil;
in an (A)/(B) weight ratio of from 0.01 to 20.
2. The composition of claim 1 wherein the compound capable of inhibiting the methionine biosynthesis is cyprodinil.
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the pyridylethylbenzamide derivative is N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl}-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide.
4. The composition of claim 3 further comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of an agriculturally acceptable support, a carrier, a filler, and a surfactant.
5. The composition of claim 3 further comprising:
(C) a fungicidal compound.
6. The composition of claim 5 wherein the fungicidal compound is selected from the group consisting of captan, propineb, fenhexamid, trifloxystrobin, tolylfluanid, iprodione, procymidone, and chlorothalonil.
7. The composition of claim 6 wherein the fungicidal compound is propineb.
8. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of the composition of claim 7 to the seed, the plant, and/or to the fruit of the plant or to the soil in which the plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow.
9. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of the composition of claim 3 to the seed, the plant, and/or to the fruit of the plant or to the soil in which the plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow.
10. The composition of claim 2 further comprising:
(C) a fungicidal compound.
11. The composition of claim 10 wherein the fungicidal compound is selected from the group consisting of captan, propineb, fenhexamid, trifloxystrobin, tolylfluanid, iprodione, procymidone and chlorothalonil.
12. The composition of claim 2 further comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of an agriculturally acceptable support, a carrier, a filler and a surfactant.
13. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi of crops comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of the composition of claim 2 to the seed, the plant and/or to the fruit of the plant or to the soil in which the plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow.
14. The composition of claim 1 wherein the pyridylethylbenzamide derivative is
N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl}-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide.
15. The composition of claim 1 further comprising:
(C) a fungicidal compound.
16. The composition of claim 15 wherein the fungicidal compound is selected from the group consisting of captan, propineb, fenhexamid, trifloxystrobin, tolylfluanid, iprodione, procymidone and chlorothalonil.
17. The composition of claim 1 further comprising at least one member selected from the group consisting of an agriculturally acceptable support, a carrier, a filler and a surfactant.
18. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi of crops, comprising applying an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of the composition of claim 1 to the seed, the plant and/or to the fruit of the plant or to the soil in which the plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow.
