Use of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors for controlling
View Patent ↗The invention relates to the use of succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors, especially of fluopyram, for controlling Sclerotinia ssp., to a method for treating plants or plant parts for controlling Sclerotinia ssp. and to a method for treating seed for controlling Sclerotinia ssp. in the seed and in the plants which grow from the seed, by treating the seed with a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor.
1. A method for controlling Sclerotinia spp. in oilseed rape or broad bean plants or plant parts thereof, said method comprises foliar treatment of said oilseed rape or broad bean plants or plant parts thereof in need of said controlling with between 0.1 to 1 kg fluopyram/ha, wherein fluopyram is the sole fungicide used in the method, to thereby control the Sclerotinia spp.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method consists essentially of treating said oilseed rape or broad bean plants or plant parts thereof with between 0.1 to 1 kg a.i./ha fluopyram.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Sclerotinia species is Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the oilseed rape or broad bean plants are transgenic oilseed rape or broad bean plants or parts thereof.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises treating oilseed rape plants or parts thereof.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises treating broad bean plants or parts thereof.
7. The method of claim 1 , comprising treatment of 150 to 250 g fluopyram/ha.
