Abstract

2,6-DICHLOROPYRIDINE-4-CARBOXYLIC ACID
HYDRAZIDE FOR COMBATTING MICROORGANISMS

Abstract of the Disclosure Composition containing as active ingredient 2,6-dichloro-pyridine-4-carboxylic acid hydrazide of formula I

(I)

Description

~7Z~43 The pr~sent invention relates to a composition for combatting phy~opathogenic microorganisms, which composition contains as active ingredient 2,6-dichloropyridine~4-carboxylic acid hydrazide of formula I

CONHN~12 ~ (I), / ~N-' ~
Cl Cl as well as to the use of this compound for combatting phytopathogenic microorganisms. Pyridine-4-carboxylic acid can also be termed isonicotinic acid.

The compound of formula I and its use in human medicine are known (see, e.g., Monatshefte fur Chemie, 36 (1915~, 737 or Bull. 19549 1430).

It has now been found that, surprisingly, the said compound exhibits a high activity against phytopathogenic microorganisms.

The compound of formula I is thus suitable for combatting phytopathogenic fungi, particularly however phytopathogenic bacteria. The term phytopathogenic fungi embraces, for example, fungi of the genera: ~rysiphe, Phytophthora or Venturia. As phytopathogenic bacteria, there can be mentioned, ........ ..

'72~3 inter alia, members of the genera Pseudomonas, e.g. PseLIdomonas tomata, Pseudomonas Lachrymans, Pseudomonas phaseolicola, Pseudomonas tacabi and Pseudomonas syringae, Xanthomonas, e.g. Xanthomonas oryzae, Xanthomonas vesicatoria, Xanthomonas phaseoli, Xanthomonas campestri and Xanthomonas citri, as well as Erwinia and Coryne~acterium.
A special property of the compound of formula I is its systemic action against phytopathogenic bacteria, i.e. its capacity to translocate in a plant to a site of infection that is remote from the point of appli-cation. The compound can thus be absorbed from the treated soil by the roots of a plant and then conveyed to the site of infection.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for com-batting phytopathogenic microorganisms which comprises contacting such microorganisms with an effective amount of the compound of Formula (I).
The invention also provides a composition for combatting phytopathogenic microorganisms which comprises a compound of Formula (I) in an amount of 0.1 to 95% by weight of the composition, together with a herbicidally non-toxic carrier or diluent selected from solid diluents or carriersJ
liquefied aerosol propellants, and liquid carriers or diluents containing a surface active agent.
~e compound can be used on crops of useful plants such as cereals, maize, potatoes, rice, vegetables, grape vines, ornamental plants, fruit, and so forth.
In order to adapt it to suit given circumstances and natur-ally to widen its sphere of action, the compound of formula ~I) can be used together with other suitable pesticides, such as fungicides, insecticides or acaricides, or with active substances influencing plant growth.

7'~4~3 Example for production of_the active substance 20.6 g of 2,6-dichloropyridine-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (0.1 mole) was heated with 4~.0 g of 100% hydrazine (0.15 mole~, or with 74 ml of approx. 65% hydrazine hydrate, diluted with 100 ml of water, for 2 hours at 70 - 80~C and subsequently for a further 2 hours at 80 - 90C. After eooling, the resulting crystal suspension was filtered off with suction and washed with cold water; m.p. 182 -184C. Reerystallisation from the approx. 10-fold amount of ethanol yielded 2~6-dichloropyridine-4-earboxylic acid hydrazide having a melting point of 183 - 184C. Lit.: m.p. 184C (Hans Meyer and eo-workers, Monateshefte f~r Chemie 36 (1915), 737).

The eompound of formula I is used aceording to the invention together with suitable earriers and/or other additives. Suitable carriers and additives may be solid or liquid, and they correspond to the substances common in formulation practice, sueh as natural or regenerated mineral ~0 substances, solvents, diluents, extenders~ surfaetants, disporsing agents, wetting agents, adhesives, thickeners, binders or fertilisers. Such compositions are produeed in a manner known per se by the in~imate mixing and grinding of the eonsti~uents.

solid preparations:- dusts, scattering agents, pellets or granulates (coated granulates, imprëgnated granulates and homogeneous granulates);
liquid pre~arations:-a) water-dispersible active-substance concentrates:
wettable powders, pastes, emulsions or solution concentrates;
b) solutions: aerosols.

The content of active substance in the above-described compositions ls between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight. The active substance of formula I can be formulated, e.g., as follows:

Dusts:
