Use of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHIs) for controlling wood diseases in grape
View Patent ↗The invention relates to the use of succinate dehydrogenase SDH inhibitors (SDHIs), in particular bixafen, penflufen or fluopyram for controlling wood diseases in grape, to a method for treating plants or plant parts for controlling wood diseases in grape and to a method for controlling wood diseases in grape plants and plant parts, and in plants which grow from the seedlings, grafts and cuttings, by treating them with SDHIs.
1. A method for controlling a wood disease in grape plants or grape plant parts, comprising treating a wood disease-infected grape plant, grape plant part, and/or grape plant grown from grafts and/or cuttings with fluopyram, wherein
(i) the fluopyram is applied at an application rate of 0.05 to 0.5 kg/ha to the grape plant, grape plant part, and/or grape plant grown from grafts and/or cuttings, and
(ii) the wood disease is selected from the group consisting of Esca and Eutypa.
2. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the disease Esca is controlled.
3. A method according to claim 1 , wherein the disease Eutypa is controlled.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein one or more of Phaemoniella chlamydospora, Phaeoacremonium aleophilum, Formitiporia mediteranea, Eutypa lata, Botryosphaeria obtusa , or Botryosphaeria dothidea is controlled.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein Eutypa lata is controlled.
