This disclosure relates to picolinamides of Formula I and their use as fungicides.
1. A compound according to the formula:
and any enantiomers or diastereomers thereof.
2. An antifungal composition comprising the compound, or an enantiomer or diastereomer of the compound, of claim 1 .
3. The composition of claim 2 wherein the composition further comprises one or more fungicides, insecticides, nematocides, miticides, arthropodicides, bactericides and combinations thereof.
4. A method for the control of fungal attack on a plant, the method including the step of:
applying a fungicidally effective amount of the compound, or an enantiomer or diastereomer of the compound, of claim 1 to at least one of the plant, an area adjacent to the plant, soil adapted to support growth of the plant, a root of the plant, and foliage of the plant.
5. A method for the control of fungal attack on a plant, the method including the step of:
applying a fungicidally effective amount of the composition of claim 2 or 3 to at least one of the plant, an area adjacent to the plant, soil adapted to support growth of the plant, a root of the plant, and foliage of the plant.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the fungal attack on the plant is an attack by a fungal pathogen selected from Leaf Blotch of Wheat ( Zymoseptoria tritici ), Wheat Brown Rust ( Puccinia triticina ), Stripe Rust ( Puccinia striiformis ), Scab of Apple ( Venturia inaequalis ), Blister Smut of Maize ( Ustilago maydis ), Powdery Mildew of Grapevine ( Uncinula necator ), Barley Scald ( Rhynchosporium secalis ), Blast of Rice ( Pyricularia oryzae ), Rust of Soybean ( Phakopsora pachyrhizi ), Glume Blotch of Wheat ( Parastagonospora nodorum ), Powdery Mildew of Wheat ( Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici ), Powdery Mildew of Barley ( Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei ), Powdery Mildew of Cucurbits ( Erysiphe cichoracearum ), Anthracnose of Cucurbits ( Colletotrichum lagenarium ), Leaf Spot of Beet ( Cercospora beticola ), Early Blight of Tomato ( Alternaria solani ), Cucumber Downy Mildew ( Pseudoperonospora cubensis ), and Net Blotch of Barley ( Pyrenophora teres ).
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the fungal attack on the plant is an attack by a fungal pathogen selected from Leaf Blotch of Wheat ( Zymoseptoria tritici ), Wheat Brown Rust ( Puccinia triticina ), Barley Scald ( Rhynchosporium secalis ), Blast of Rice ( Pyricularia oryzae ), Rust of Soybean ( Phakopsora pachyrhizi ), Glume Blotch of Wheat ( Parastagonospora nodorum ), Anthracnose of Cucurbits ( Colletotrichum lagenarium ), Leaf Spot of Beet ( Cercospora beticola ), Powdery Mildew of Grapevine ( Uncinula necator ), Cucumber Downy Mildew ( Pseudoperonospora cubensis ), and Early Blight of Tomato ( Alternaria solani ).
