- Wadley is based on EC50 values (effective concentration required to obtain a 50% effect) typically derived by linear or non-linear regression from dose-response experiments, and thus avoids errors arising from the nonlinear nature of the dose-response curve.
- E expected EC50
- a and b are the weight ratios (EC50 values) of compound A and B in the mixture
- EC50(Ao) and EC50(Bo) are the experimentally observed (0) EC50 values obtained using the dose response curves for the individual compounds.
- the synergism ratio (R) is calculated as the ratio between the expected values and observed values, EC50 A+B(e)/EC50 A+B(o).
- compositions according to the invention can also have further surprising advantageous properties.
- advantageous properties are: more advantageous degradability; improved toxicological and/or ecotoxicological behaviour; or improved characteristics of the useful plants including: emergence, crop yields, more developed root system, tillering increase, increase in plant height, bigger leaf blade, less dead basal leaves, stronger tillers, greener leaf colour, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, more productive tillers, earlier flowering, early grain maturity, less plant verse (lodging), increased shoot growth, improved plant vigor, and early germination.

The present invention relates to a composition suitable for control of diseases caused by phytopathogens comprising as component (A), pydiflumetofen, and as component (B), epoxiconazole, or agrochemically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, diastereoisomers, enantiomers and tautomers thereof.
Description
FUNGICIDAL COMPOSITIONS
The present invention relates to novel fungicidal compositions, to their use in agriculture or horticulture for controlling diseases caused by phytopathogens, especially phytopathogenic fungi, and to methods of controlling diseases on useful plants.
Whilst many fungicidal compounds and compositions, belonging to various different chemical classes, have been/are being developed for use as fungicides in crops of useful plants, crop tolerance and activity against particular phytopathogenic fungi do not always satisfy the needs of agricultural practice in many respects. Therefore, there is a continuing need to find new compounds and compositions having superior biological properties for use in controlling or preventing infestation of plants by phytopathogenic fungi. For example, compounds possessing a greater biological activity, an advantageous spectrum of activity, an increased safety profile, improved physico-chemical properties, increased biodegradability. Or else, compositions possessing a broader spectrum of activity, improved crop tolerance, synergistic interactions or potentiating properties, or compositions which display a more rapid onset of action or which have longer lasting residual activity or which enable a reduction in the number of applications and/or a reduction in the application rate of the compounds and compositions required for effective control of a phytopathogen, thereby enabling beneficial resistancemanagement practices, reduced environmental impact and reduced operator exposure.
The use of compositions comprising mixtures of different fungicidal compounds possessing different modes of action can address some of these needs (e.g., by combining fungicides with differing spectrums of activity).
It is known from W02008/148570, WO 2010/063700, WO 2010/084078 and WO 2008/151828 that certain pyrazolyl-carboxamide derivatives have biological activity against phytopathogenic fungi. On the other hand various fungicidal compounds of different chemical classes are widely known as plant fungicides for application in various crops of cultivated plants. However, crop tolerance and activity against phytopathogenic plant fungi do not always satisfy the needs of agricultural practice in many incidents and aspects. In order to overcome this problem, some binary mixtures of pyrazolyl- carboxamides with certain fungicides have been provided for example in WO 2012/041874, WO 2015/049178, and WO2017029177.
According to the present invention, there is provided a composition suitable for control of diseases caused by phytopathogens comprising as component (A), pydiflumetofen or agrochemically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, diastereoisomers, enantiomers and tautomers thereof, and as component (B), epoxiconazole, or agrochemically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, diastereoisomers, enantiomers and tautomers thereof.
Pydiflumetofen, also known as 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6- trichlorophenyl)ethyl]pyrazole-4-carboxamide, which is known from and may be prepared as described for example in WO 2010/067300.
Epoxiconazole, is a triazole fungicide from the class of demethylation inhibitors (FRAC classification G1), which is known from and may be prepared as described in for example, EP0196038. The compound may be depicted by the following structural formula:
Further according to the invention, there is provided a method of controlling diseases on useful plants or on propagation material thereof caused by phytopathogens, which comprises applying to the useful plants, the locus thereof or propagation material thereof, a composition as defined according to the invention.
Further according to the invention, there is provided a composition suitable for control of diseases caused by phytopathogens comprising as component (A), pydiflumetofen, and as component (B), epoxiconazole, or agrochemically acceptable salts, stereoisomers, diastereoisomers, enantiomers and tautomers thereof, further comprising an agriculturally acceptable carrier and/or formulation adjuvant, and optionally, a surfactant.
Further according to the invention, there is provided the use of a composition comprising component (A) and component (B) as a fungicide. According to this particular aspect of the invention, the use may exclude methods for the treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy.
Further according to the invention, there is provided a method of protecting natural substances of plant and/or animal origin, which have been taken from the natural life cycle, and/or their processed forms, which comprises applying to said natural substances of plant and/or animal origin or their processed forms a combination of components (A) and (B) as defined according to the invention.
It has been found that the use of epoxiconazole in combination with pydiflumetofen surprisingly and substantially may enhance the effectiveness of the latter against fungi, and vice versa. Additionally, the use of the compositions of the invention may be effective against a wider spectrum of such fungi than can be combated with the individual active ingredients when used alone.
The benefits provided by certain fungicidal mixture compositions according to the invention may also include, inter alia, advantageous levels of biological activity for protecting plants against diseases that are caused by fungi or superior properties for use as agrochemical active ingredients (for example, greater biological activity, an advantageous spectrum of activity, an increased safety profile, improved physico-chemical properties, or increased biodegradability).
In each case, pydiflumetofen and epoxiconazole are present in free form, in oxidized form as a N-oxide or in salt form, e.g. an agronomically usable salt form. N-oxides are oxidized forms of tertiary amines or oxidized forms of nitrogen containing heteroaromatic compounds. They are described for instance in the book “Heterocyclic N-oxides” by A. Albini and S. Pietra, CRC Press, Boca Raton 1991 .
As used herein, the term ‘component (A)’ is understood to be pydiflumetofen, or agrochemically acceptable salts, N-oxides, diastereoisomers, enantiomers or tautomers thereof.
As used herein, the term ‘component (B)’ is understood to be epoxiconazole, or agrochemically acceptable salts, N-oxides, diastereoisomers, enantiomers or tautomers thereof.
In general, the weight ratio of component (A) to component (B) is from 1000:1 to 1 :1000, especially from 50:1 to 1 :50, more especially in a ratio from 40:1 to 1 :40, even more especially in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1 :20, even more especially still from 10:1 to 1 :10, and very especially from 5:1 and 1 :5. Special preference is given to a ratio of from 2:1 to 1 :2, and a ratio of from 4:1 to 2:1 is also especially preferred. Specific individual ratios that are preferred include the ratio of 1 :1 , 5:1 , 5:2, 5:3, 5:4, 4:1 , 4:2, 4:3, 3:1 , 3:2, 2:1 , 1 :5, 2:5, 3:5, 4:5, 1 :4, 2:4, 3:4, 1 :3, 2:3, 1 :2, 1 :600, 1 :300, 1 :150, 1 :100, 1 :50, 1 ;40, 1 :35, 1 :20, 2:35, 4:35, 1 :10 1 :75, 2:75, 4:75, 1 :6000, 1 :3000, 1 :1500, 1 :350, 2:350, 4:350, 1 :750, 2:750, and 4:750.

The compositions of pydiflumetofen and epoxiconazole according to the invention may, in particular, be used to control disease caused by Fusarium spp., and more particularly, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium asiasticum.
Further according to the invention, there is provided a method for controlling Fusarium spp., and more particularly, Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium asiasticum, on useful plants, said method comprising applying to the useful plants, the locus thereof or propagation material thereof, an effective amount of a composition comprising pydiflumetofen and epoxiconazole.
It has been found, surprisingly, that certain weight ratios of component (A) to component (B) are able to give rise to synergistic activity. Therefore, a further aspect of the invention are compositions, wherein component (A) and component (B) are present in the composition in amounts producing a synergistic effect. In a preferred embodiment, there is provided a composition wherein components (A) and (B) are present in a synergistically effective amount.
This synergistic activity is apparent from the fact that the fungicidal activity of the composition comprising component (A) and component (B) is greater than the sum of the fungicidal activities of component (A) and component (B). This synergistic activity extends the range of action of component
(A) and component (B) in two ways. Firstly, the rates of application of component (A) and component
(B) are lowered whilst the action remains equally good, meaning that the active ingredient mixture still achieves a high degree of phytopathogen control even where the two individual components have become totally ineffective in such a low application rate range.
A synergistic effect exists whenever the action of an active ingredient combination is greater than the sum of the actions of the individual components. The action to be expected E for a given active ingredient combination obeys the so-called COLBY formula and can be calculated as follows (COLBY, S.R. "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combination", Weeds, Vol. 15, pages 20-22; 1967): ppm = milligrams of active ingredient (= a.i.) per liter of spray mixture
X = % action by active ingredient (A) using p ppm of active ingredient
Y = % action by active ingredient (B) using q ppm of active ingredient.
According to COLBY, the expected (additive) action of active ingredients (A)+(B) using p+q ppm of
X • Y active ingredient is E = X + Y -
100
If the action actually observed (O) is greater than the expected action (E), then the action of the combination is super-additive, i.e. there is a synergistic effect. In mathematical terms, synergism corresponds to a positive value for the difference of (O-E). In the case of purely complementary addition of activities (expected activity), said difference (O-E) is zero. A negative value of said difference (O-E) signals a loss of activity compared to the expected activity.
Another method by which synergistic effects can be evaluated is by the Co-Toxicity Coefficient (CTC), according to the Sun-YP method (Yun-Pei, Sun. "Toxicity Index-An Improved Method of Comparing the Relative Toxicity of Insecticides." Journal of Economic Entomology 1 (1950):45-53.). A CTC value of less than 80 indicates an antagonistic effect, a CTC value of 80-120 indicates an additive effect, and a CTC value of greater than or equal to 120 indicates a synergistic effect.
CTC = (ATI / TTI) * 100
Component A represents standard active ingredient (in the present case component A is pydiflumetofen), and component B represents the component to be mixed with the standard active ingredient (in the present case component B is epoxiconazole).
ATI (Measured toxicity index of a mixture) = (Standard Al’s ECso/Mixture’s EC50) * 100
TTI (Theoretical toxicity index of a mixture) = (TIA*PA+TIB*PB) * 100
TIA (Toxicity index of component A) = the EC50 of component A I the EC50 of component A
PA: Percentage of component A in the mixture
TIB (Toxicity index of component B) = the EC50 of component A I the EC50 of component B PB: Percentage of component B in the mixture
A further method by which synergistic effects can be evaluated is by the Wadley method, Wadley’s method is based on EC50 values (effective concentration required to obtain a 50% effect) typically derived by linear or non-linear regression from dose-response experiments, and thus avoids errors arising from the nonlinear nature of the dose-response curve.
In the Wadley method, for a given combination of two active components, E (expected EC50) can be expressed as:
where a and b are the weight ratios (EC50 values) of compound A and B in the mixture and EC50(Ao) and EC50(Bo) are the experimentally observed (0) EC50 values obtained using the dose response curves for the individual compounds. The synergism ratio (R) is calculated as the ratio between the expected values and observed values, EC50 A+B(e)/EC50 A+B(o).
If A+B (observed) is > A+B (expected) then synergy (R>1) is exhibited. If R=1 then the effect is additive and if R<1 then antagonism is exhibited.
However, besides the actual synergistic action with respect to fungicidal activity, the compositions according to the invention can also have further surprising advantageous properties. Examples of such advantageous properties that may be mentioned are: more advantageous degradability; improved toxicological and/or ecotoxicological behaviour; or improved characteristics of the useful plants including: emergence, crop yields, more developed root system, tillering increase, increase in plant height, bigger leaf blade, less dead basal leaves, stronger tillers, greener leaf colour, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, more productive tillers, earlier flowering, early grain maturity, less plant verse (lodging), increased shoot growth, improved plant vigor, and early germination.
Some compositions according to the invention have a systemic action and can be used as foliar, soil and seed treatment fungicides.
With the compositions according to the invention it is possible to inhibit or destroy the phytopathogenic microorganisms which occur in plants or in parts of plants (fruit, blossoms, leaves, stems, tubers, roots) in different useful plants, while at the same time the parts of plants which grow later are also protected from attack by phytopathogenic microorganisms.
The compositions according to the invention can be applied to the phytopathogenic microorganisms, the useful plants, the locus thereof, the propagation material thereof, storage goods or technical materials threatened by microorganism attack.
The compositions according to the invention may be applied before or after infection of the useful plants, the propagation material thereof, storage goods or technical materials by the microorganisms.
A further aspect of the present invention is a method of controlling diseases on useful plants or on propagation material thereof caused by phytopathogens, which comprises applying to the useful plants, the locus thereof or propagation material thereof a composition according to the invention. Preferred is a method, which comprises applying to the useful plants or to the locus thereof a composition according to the invention, more preferably to the useful plants. Further preferred is a method, which comprises applying to the propagation material of the useful plants a composition according to the invention.
Throughout this document the expression “composition” means the various mixtures or combinations of components (A) and (B), for example in a single “ready-mix” form, in a combined spray mixture composed from separate formulations of the single active ingredient components, such as a “tank-mix”, and in a combined use of the single active ingredients when applied in a sequential manner, i.e. one after the other with a reasonably short period, such as a few hours or days. The order of applying the components (A) and (B) is not essential for working the present invention.
The active ingredient combinations are effective against harmful microorganisms, such as microorganisms, that cause phytopathogenic diseases, in particular against phytopathogenic fungi and bacteria.

beans, lentils, peas and soya beans; nuts for example almond, cashew, ground nut, hazelnut, peanut, pecan, pistachio and walnut; palms for example oil palm; ornamentals for example flowers, shrubs and trees; other trees, for example cacao, coconut, olive and rubber; vegetables for example asparagus, aubergine, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, cucumber, garlic, lettuce, marrow, melon, okra, onion, pepper, potato, pumpkin, rhubarb, spinach and tomato; and vines for example grapes.
Crops are to be understood as being those which are naturally occurring, obtained by conventional methods of breeding, or obtained by genetic engineering. They include crops which contain so-called output traits (e.g. improved storage stability, higher nutritional value and improved flavour).
Crops are to be understood as also including those crops which have been rendered tolerant to herbicides like bromoxynil or classes of herbicides such as ALS-, EPSPS-, GS-, HPPD- and PPO- inhibitors. An example of a crop that has been rendered tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox, by conventional methods of breeding is Clearfield® summer canola. Examples of crops that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by genetic engineering methods include e.g. glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant maize varieties commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady®, Herculex I® and LibertyLink®.
Crops are also to be understood as being those which naturally are or have been rendered resistant to harmful insects. This includes plants transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques, for example, to be capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria. Examples of toxins which can be expressed include d-endotoxins, vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip), insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonising nematodes, and toxins produced by scorpions, arachnids, wasps and fungi.
An example of a crop that has been modified to express the Bacillus thuringiensis toxin is the Bt maize KnockOut® (Syngenta Seeds). An example of a crop comprising more than one gene that codes for insecticidal resistance and thus expresses more than one toxin is VipCot® (Syngenta Seeds). Crops or seed material thereof can also be resistant to multiple types of pests (so-called stacked transgenic events when created by genetic modification). For example, a plant can have the ability to express an insecticidal protein while at the same time being herbicide tolerant, for example Herculex I® (Dow AgroSciences, Pioneer Hi-Bred International).
According to the invention “useful plants” typically comprise the following species of plants: grape vines; cereals, such as wheat, barley, rye or oats; beet, such as sugar beet or fodder beet; fruits, such as pomes, stone fruits or soft fruits, for example apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, raspberries or blackberries; leguminous plants, such as beans, lentils, peas or soybeans; oil plants, such as rape, mustard, poppy, olives, sunflowers, coconut, castor oil plants, cocoa beans or groundnuts; cucumber plants, such as marrows, cucumbers or melons; fibre plants, such as cotton, flax, hemp or jute; citrus fruit, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruit or mandarins; vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits or paprika; lauraceae, such as avocados, cinnamon or camphor; maize; tobacco; nuts; coffee; sugar cane; tea; vines; hops; durian; bananas; natural rubber plants; turf or ornamentals, such as flowers, shrubs, broad-leaved trees or evergreens, for example conifers. This list does not represent any limitation.
The term "useful plants" is to be understood as including also useful plants that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides like bromoxynil or classes of herbicides (such as, for example, HPPD inhibitors, ALS inhibitors, for example primisulfuron, prosulfuron and trifloxysulfuron, EPSPS (5-enol- pyrovyl-shikimate-3-phosphate-synthase) inhibitors, GS (glutamine synthetase) inhibitors) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. An example of a crop that has been rendered tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox, by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis) is Clearfield® summer rape (Canola). Examples of crops that have been rendered tolerant to herbicides or classes of herbicides by genetic engineering methods include glyphosate- and glufosinate-resistant maize varieties commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® , Herculex I® and LibertyLink®.
The term "useful plants" is to be understood as including also useful plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting toxins, such as are known, for example, from toxin-producing bacteria, especially those of the genus Bacillus.
Toxins that can be expressed by such transgenic plants include, for example, insecticidal proteins, for example insecticidal proteins from Bacillus cereus or Bacillus popliae; or insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as 8-endotoxins, e.g. CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CrylF, CrylF(a2), CryllA(b), CrylllA, CrylllB(bl) or Cry9c, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e.g. VIP1 , VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; or insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonising nematodes, for example Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhabdus spp., such as Photorhabdus luminescens, Xenorhabdus nematophilus; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins and other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such as Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea lectins, barley lectins or snowdrop lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsine inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin, papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroidoxidase, ecdysteroid-UDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors, HMG-COA-reductase, ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels, juvenile hormone esterase, diuretic hormone receptors, stilbene synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases and glucanases.
In the context of the present invention there are to be understood by 8-endotoxins, for example CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CrylF, CrylF(a2), CryllA(b), CrylllA, CrylllB(bl) or Cry9c, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), for example VIP1 , VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A, expressly also hybrid toxins, truncated toxins and modified toxins. Hybrid toxins are produced recombinantly by a new combination of different domains of those proteins (see, for example, WO 02/15701). An example for a truncated toxin is a truncated CrylA(b), which is expressed in the Bt11 maize from Syngenta Seed SAS, as described below. In the case of modified toxins, one or more amino acids of the naturally occurring toxin are replaced. In such amino acid replacements, preferably non-naturally present protease recognition sequences are inserted into the toxin, such as, for example, in the case of Cryl IIA055, a cathepsin-D- recognition sequence is inserted into a CrylllA toxin (see WO 03/018810)
Examples of such toxins or transgenic plants capable of synthesising such toxins are disclosed, for example, in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A-451 878 and WO 03/052073.
The processes for the preparation of such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above. Cryl-type deoxyribonucleic acids and their preparation are known, for example, from WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 367 474, EP-A-0 401 979 and WO 90/13651.
The toxin contained in the transgenic plants imparts to the plants tolerance to harmful insects. Such insects can occur in any taxonomic group of insects, but are especially commonly found in the beetles (Coleoptera), two-winged insects (Diptera) and butterflies (Lepidoptera).
Transgenic plants containing one or more genes that code for an insecticidal resistance and express one or more toxins are known and some of them are commercially available. Examples of such plants are: YieldGard® (maize variety that expresses a CrylA(b) toxin); YieldGard Rootworm® (maize variety that expresses a CrylllB(bl) toxin); YieldGard Plus® (maize variety that expresses a CrylA(b) and a Cryl IIB(b1 ) toxin); Starlink® (maize variety that expresses a Cry9(c) toxin); Herculex I ® (maize variety that expresses a CrylF(a2) toxin and the enzyme phosphinothricine N- acetyltransferase (PAT) to achieve tolerance to the herbicide glufosinate ammonium); NuCOTN 33B® (cotton variety that expresses a CrylA(c) toxin); Bollgard I® (cotton variety that expresses a CrylA(c) toxin); Bollgard II® (cotton variety that expresses a CrylA(c) and a CryllA(b) toxin); VIPCOT® (cotton variety that expresses a VIP toxin); NewLeaf® (potato variety that expresses a Cry II IA toxin); Nature- Gard® and Protecta®.

The term "useful plants" is to be understood as including also useful plants which have been so transformed by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that they are capable of synthesising antipathogenic substances having a selective action, such as, for example, the so-called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PRPs, see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225). Examples of such antipathogenic substances and transgenic plants capable of synthesising such antipathogenic substances are known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 95/33818, and EP-A-0 353 191. The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
Antipathogenic substances which can be expressed by such transgenic plants include, for example, ion channel blockers, such as blockers for sodium and calcium channels, for example the viral KP1 , KP4 or KP6 toxins; stilbene synthases; bibenzyl synthases; chitinases; glucanases; the so- called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PRPs; see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225); antipathogenic substances produced by microorganisms, for example peptide antibiotics or heterocyclic antibiotics (see e.g. WO 95/33818) or protein or polypeptide factors involved in plant pathogen defence (so-called "plant disease resistance genes", as described in WO 03/000906).
Useful plants of elevated interest in connection with present invention are cereals; soybean; rice; oil seed rape; pome fruits; stone fruits; peanuts; coffee; tea; strawberries; turf; vines and vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits and lettuce.
The term “locus” of a useful plant as used herein is intended to embrace the place on which the useful plants are growing, where the plant propagation materials of the useful plants are sown or where the plant propagation materials of the useful plants will be placed into the soil. An example for such a locus is a field, on which crop plants are growing.
The term “plant propagation material” is understood to denote generative parts of a plant, such as seeds, which can be used for the multiplication of the latter, and vegetative material, such as cuttings or tubers, for example potatoes. There may be mentioned for example seeds (in the strict sense), roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes and parts of plants. Germinated plants and young plants which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from the soil, may also be mentioned. These young plants may be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion. Preferably “plant propagation material” is understood to denote seeds.

Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ diluted formulations.
BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES
Combinations of the invention are tested using one or more of the following protocols.
Fusarium spp.
The test was performed according to Pesticides guidelines for laboratory bioactivity tests, Part 2: Petri plate test for determining fungicides inhibition of mycelial growth (NY/T 1156.2-2006). Specifically, according to the results of pre-experiment, the best concentration ranges for determination of the sensitivity of pathogens to pydiflumetofen, epoxiconazole, and mixtures thereof were respectively determined, and 5-7 concentration gradients were set to make the inhibition rate at the minimum concentration close to 10% and the inhibition rate at the highest concentration close to 90%. Same volumes of solutions of pydiflumetofen, epoxiconazole, and mixtures thereof in DMSO with desired concentrations were respectively added to melted PDA culture medium to prepare the test plate, and a PDA plate having a same volume of DMSO was used as control.
Mycelial plugs in the edge of colony were prepared by hole puncher with a diameter of 5 mm. With mycelium upward, the mycelial plugs were shifted to the centre of PDA medium plates containing pydiflumetofen, epoxiconazole, and mixtures thereof and the control plate. After cultured in an incubator at 25°C for three days in darkness, the diameters of every mycelial colony on PDA plates were measured twice perpendicularly and then averaged. The inhibition rate (%) = (the average diameter of mycelial colony on the control plate - the average diameter of mycelial colony on the test plate) I (the average diameter of mycelial colony on the control plate) * 100%.
The EC50 values of each tested agent and each mixture were calculated by the linear regression analysis between the probability value of the inhibition rate and the log value of the series of concentrations. The co-toxicity coefficient (CTC) of the mixtures was calculated and evaluated according to the Sun-YP method. The results are shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
