[00192] Product name: NIMBUS (registered trademark): Adjuvant containing liquid paraffin (CAS No. 8012-95-1) as an adjuvant ingredient.

TEST EXAMPLE 1

[00193] A plastic pot was filled with soil and soybeans were sown (Kurosengoku), and the plants were grown in a greenhouse for 14 days.

[00194] First, a spray solution comprising Cartap hydrochloride was prepared by mixing water-soluble powders of Padan SG with a prescribed amount of water, and followed by the addition of NIMBUS to produce a prescribed amount. Also, the spray solution comprising test compound A was prepared by dissolving the given compound A in a mixed solvent of surfactant, dimethylformamide and xylene (surfactant: dimethylformamide : xylene = 1 : 10 : 8) (hereinafter referred to as as "compound A solution"), mixing the compound A solution with a prescribed amount of water, and followed by the addition of NIMBUS to produce a prescribed amount. Furthermore, the spray solution comprising Cartap hydrochloride and the present compound A was prepared by mixing Padan SG water-soluble powders with the above-mentioned compound A with the prescribed amount of water, followed by the addition of NIMBUS to produce an amount prescribed. The amount of NIMBUS addition used in the present test example was adjusted so that the concentration of the adjuvant ingredient in the spray solution was 2,100 mg/L.

[00195] The spray solution was applied by foliar treatment, in order to adhere to the surface of the soybean leaf mentioned above. The amount of spray solution corresponds to 200 L per hectare. After application, the soybean leaf surface was air-dried, and after 1 day, an aqueous suspension of summer spores of soybean rust disease (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) fungi (approximately 10,000 spores/mL) was inoculated by spraying. . After inoculation, the plants were placed at 20 to 23°C under high humidity for one day, and grown in a greenhouse for 13 days (which was called the "treated plot"). Subsequently, the soybean rust disease lesion area was examined.

[00196] The control value was calculated by the following equation of the relationship between the soybean rust disease lesion area in the treated plot and the relationship of the soybean rust disease lesion area in the untreated plot.

[00197] A: Relationship of the area of soybean rust disease lesion in the untreated plot

[00198] B: Relationship of the area of soybean rust disease lesion in the treated plot

[00199] Here, the "untreated portion" represents a portion on which the same procedures were conducted, except that SG Padan water powder (registered trademark) and/or the present compound A was not used.
