Abstract

Provided is a plant disease control composition having a broad spectrum against various plant pathogens, and shows excellent controlling effects (synergistic controlling effects) which cannot be expected from a single component alone. The plant disease control composition includes (Group a) at least one quinoline compound represented by the formula: (wherein R 1 , R 2 : an alkyl which may be substituted, an aryl which may be substituted, etc.; R 3 , R 4 : H, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; X: halogen, an alkyl which may be substituted, etc.; Y: halogen, alkyl, etc.; n: 0 to 4; m: 0 to 6) or a salt thereof, and at least one of fungicidal compounds selected from the group consisting of a Strobilurin series compound, a triazole series compound, etc., as effective ingredients.

Claims (28)

1. A plant disease control composition comprising

(Group a)

(a) at least one quinoline compound selected from the group consisting of

(a-14) 3-(5-fluoro-3,3,4,4-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline,

(a-18) 3-(4,4-difluoro-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline, and

(a-20) 3-(4,4,5-trifluoro-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline,

or a salt thereof, and

(Group b)

(b) at least one fungicidal compound selected from the group consisting of Group

Group (20)

an organic chlorine series compound selected from

(b-20-1) Chlorothalonil and

(b-20-2) 4,5,6,7-tetrachlorophthalide,

wherein said at least one quinoline compound and said at least one fungicidal compound are present in synergistically effective amounts.

2. A method for controlling plant diseases comprising applying, the plant disease control composition according to claim 1 .

3. A method for controlling plant diseases, which comprises

applying a compound of Group a and a compound of Group b at the same time, or applying either a compound of Group a or Group b, and then applying the other compound of Group a or Group b sequentially,

wherein Group a is at least one quinoline compound selected from the group consisting of:

(a-14) 3-(5-fluoro-3,3,4,4-tetramethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline,

(a-18) 3-(4,4-difluoro-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquirolin-1-yl)quinoline, and

(a-20) 3-(4,4,5-trifluoro-3,3-dimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolin-1-yl)quinoline,

or a salt thereof, and

Group b is at least one fungicidal compound selected from the group consisting of Group (20) below:

Group (20)

an organic chlorine series compound selected from

(b-20-1) Chlorothalonil and

(b-20-2) 4,5,6,7-tetrachlorophthalide,

wherein said at least one quinoline compound and said at least one fungicidal compound are present in synergistically effective amounts.
