A fungicidal composition containing a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of Formula I, 4-((6-(2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-2-hydroxy-3-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propyl)pyridin-3- yl)oxy)benzonitrile for use on fungal diseases of cereals. Additionally, this disclosure concerns a fungicidal composition containing (a) a compound of Formula I, 4-((6-(2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)-1,1-difluoro-2-hydroxy-3-(5-thioxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1l-yl)propyl)pyridin-3-yl)oxy)benzonitrile and (b) fenpicoxamid, for control of fungal diseases of cereals.
1. A method for the control of fungal diseases on wheat, the method including the step of: applying a fungicidally effective amount of a formulation comprising a compound of Formula I and fenpicoxamid to at least one of: a plant, an area adjacent to the plant, soil adapted to support growth of the plant, a root of the plant, foliage of the plant, and a seed adapted to produce the plant; wherein Formula I is:
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the formulation further comprises at least one of an agriculturally acceptable adjuvant and a carrier.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fungal diseases are selected from the group consisting of mildew ( Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici ); eye spot of wheat ( Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides ); wheat brown rust ( Puccinia triticina); stripe rust of wheat ( Puccinia striiformis); leaf blotch of wheat (Zynwseptoria tritici ); glume blotch of wheat ( Parastagonospora nodorum ); and Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat ( Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum ).
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the disease is wheat brown rust ( Puccinia triticina).
5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the disease is stripe rust of wheat ( Puccinia striiformis).
6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the disease is leaf blotch of wheat ( Zymoseptoria tritici ).
7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein weight ratio of the compound of Formula I to fenpicoxamid is from about 10:1 to about 1:10.
8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the disease is wheat brown rust ( Puccinia triticina).
