Pesticidal composition and method for fungal control
View Patent ↗A method of reducing nematode-fungal interaction in a plant by treating a propagation material thereof with a nematicidally effective amount of a nematicide, and a fungicidally effective amount of a fungicide before the material is planted or sown.
1. A composition comprising as active ingredients:
(A) a nematicidally effective amount of abamectin; and
(B) a fungicidally effective amount of
(B1) mefenoxam,
(B2) fludioxonil; and
(B3) azoxystrobin wherein the ratio of active ingredients (A):(B1):(B2):(B3) is (100–400 g):(7–10 g):(2–5 g):(15–20 g) per 100 Kg of seed.
2. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the ratio of active ingredients (A):(B1):(B2):(B3) is (100 g):(7.5 g):(2.5 g):(15 g) per 100kg of seed.
3. A composition according to claim 1 which further comprises a fungicidally effective amount of (C1) myclobutanil.
4. A composition according to claim 3 which further comprises an insecticidally effective amount of (D) an insecticide that is (D1) thiamethoxam.
5. A plant propagation material treated with a pesticidally effective amount of a pesticidal composition according to claim 1 .
6. Plant propagation material according to claim 5 wherein the ratio of active ingredients (A):(B1):(B2):(B3) is (100 g): (7.5 g):(2.5 g):(15 g) per 100 kg of seed.
7. A method of protecting plant propagation material against attack by nematodes and phytopathogenic fungi which comprises treating said plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition according to claim 1 .
8. A method according to claim 7 wherein said composition further comprises a fungicidally effective amount of (C1) myclobutanil.
9. A method according to claim 8 wherein said composition further comprises an insecticidally effective amount of (D) a neonicotinoid, that is (D1) thiamethoxam.
10. A method according to claim 7 wherein said plant propagation material is a plant seed selected from cotton, tomatoes, peppers, melons, cantaloupes, squash and cucumber.
11. A method of improving plant stand establishment of a crop of plants which comprises treating plant propagation material of the plant with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition according to claim 1 .
12. A method according to claim 9 wherein said plant propagation material is a plant seed selected from cotton, tomatoes, peppers, melons, cantaloupes, squash and cucumber.
13. A method of improving plant stand establishment of a crop of plants which comprises treating plant propagation material of the plant with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition according to claim 3 .
14. A method of improving plant stand establishment of a crop of plants which comprises treating plant propagation material of the plant with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition according to claim 4 .
