The present invention provides a composition comprising synergistic amounts of a compound of the formula (I) wherein X, E, R, A and Z are as defined herein, and at least one fungicidal active compound as defined herein. The compositions of the present invention find use as pesticides.
1. A composition comprising synergistic amounts of a compound of formula (1)
and a fungicidal active compound of the formula (XVI)
wherein R 13 is CH 3 (tolylfluanid).
2. The composition of claim 1 comprising about 0.1 to about 10 parts by weight of said fungicidal active compound per part by weight of the compound of formula (1).
3. The composition of claim 1 comprising about 0.3 to about 3 parts by weight of said fungicidal active compound per part by weight of the compound of formula (1).
4. A process for preparing the composition of claim 1 comprising mixing the compound of formula (1) and said fungicidal active compound with at least one of extenders and surface-active substances.
5. A process for controlling at least one of fungi and insects comprising applying synergistic amounts of the composition of claim 1 to at least one of fungi, insects, fungi locus, and insect locus so that the composition is applied at a concentration sufficient for controlling at least one plant disease.
6. The process of claim 5 wherein the applying comprises treating seed with from about 0.001 to about 50 g of the composition per kilogram of seed.
7. The process of claim 5 wherein the applying comprises treating soil with from about 0.00001 to about 0.1% by weight of the composition.
8. The process of claim 5 wherein the weight ratio of the compound of formula (1), to said fungicidal active compound is from about 1:0.1 to about 1:10.
