Abstract
The present invention relates to a new use of certain fungicides, in particular prothioconazole for controlling microbial diseases and/or increasing yield of selected canola hybrids as well as a new method of treating Canola hybrid plant or plant parts with a composition comprising certain fungicides, in particular for controlling microbial diseases and/or increasing yield of the plants.
Description
USE OF OF PROTHIOCONAZOLE FOR CONTROLLING SCLEROTINIA AND/OR INCREASING
YIELD IN CANOLA HYBRID PLANTS
Field of the Invention The present invention relates to the use of certain fungicides, in particuiar prothioconazole for controlling certain microbial diseases and/or increasing yield of selected canola hybrids, to methods applying these fungicides alone or in combinations to Canola hybrids.
Background of the Invention Canola belonging to the family of Brassicracreae is characterized by a low level of glucosinolates and erucic acid in the canola seeds. Canola is infected by a variety of different microbial diseases. The most important microbial diseases are black leg caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, downy mildew caused by Peronospora parasitic a, root rot caused by Rhizoctonia solani, Fusariurn and Pythium species, sclerotinia stem rot (white mould) caused by Sclerotinia scierotiorum and Sclerotinia minor, seedling disease complex caused by Rhizoctonia Fusarium and Pythium species, white leaf and gray stem caused by Pseudocercosporella capsellae, White rust (staghead) caused by Albugo candida, clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, Alternaria black spot caused by Alternaria brassicare, Alternaria alterriata and Alternaria raphani.
Of these diseases Sclerotinia is one of the most important diseases as it can cause significant losses in yield and quality of the canola seeds. An overview about the disease is given in WO-A
2006/1357171, The apothecia which originate from the germinated sclerotia in summer release ascospores which are distributed by wind over significant distances. In order to successfully infect the plant the spores need moist soil conditions and temperatures around 20 degrees Celsius. Leaves and stems are not directly infected by the spores but rather by flowers or petals, in particular older petals. Disease development starts several weeks after flowering. At that stage stems, leaves and pods can be infected so that no or less seeds are produced or the infected plants lodge or shatter at harvest. A new generation of sclerotia will develop which will be responsible for the infection in th6 next season The severity of the disease in each season is strongly influenced by the climatic conditions being present at the time of infection as the fungus needs temperatures around 20 degree ceIsius and more than 80 'A humidity in the crop canopy.
As all Canadian canola genotypes are in general susceptible to Sclerotinia in recent years three different approaches have been used to improve Sclerotinia control in Canola being control by chemical fungicides, breeding for disease resistance or tolerance and agronomic methods.
The fungicides azoxystrobin, bescalid, eyprodinil, fludioxonfl, iprodione, penthiopyracl, picoxystrobin, prothioconazole are already described for use against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and/or Sclerotinia minor in Canola Date Recue/Date Received 2021-06-25

Although significant efforts have been made to breed for Sclerotinia resistant or tolerant Canola varieties the success so far has been limited. There are varieties that are less susceptible due to morphological features like lighter canopies (WO-A 2006/1357171).
Therefore, the objective of the present invention was to provide improved solutions for controlling Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and/or Sclerotinia minor and/or increasing yield in Canola hybrids selected from the group consisting of In VigorTm L252, L261, L160S and L140P. A
further object of the present invention was a method of applying the fungicides simultaneously or sequentially on these hybrids.
Summary of the Invention Surprisingly it has been found that this object is achieved by the use of fungicides selected from the group consisting of azoxystrobin, boscalid, cyprodinil, fludioxonil, iprodione, penthiopyrad, picoxystrobin, prothioconazole and mixtures thereof for controlling Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and/or Sclerotinia minor and/or increasing yield in Canola hybrids selected from the group consisting of In Vigor L252, L261, L160S and L140P.

The active ingredients selected from the group consisting of azoxystrobin, boscalid, cyprodinil, fludioxonil, iprociione, penthiopyrad, picoxystrobin, prothioconazole are preferably used in a weight ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:10, more preferably in a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:5. By using fludioxonil as further agrochemically active compound, the active ingredients cyprodinil and fludioxonil are preferably used in a weight ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:10, more preferably in a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:2, most preferably in a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:1.5.
The present invention further relates to the above mentioned use of prothioconazole, wherein the Brassicaceae plant, in particular the oilseed rape plant is a transgenic plant.
Genetically modified organisms are for example plants or seeds. Genetically modified plants are plants whose genome has, stably integrated, a certain heterologous gene coding for a certain protein. Here, "heterologous gene" is meant to be taiderstood as a gene which confers novel agronomical properties on the transformed plant, or a gene which improves the agronomical quality of the modified plant.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, trunsgenic plants und plant eultivars obtained by genetic;
engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (genetically modified organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The terms "parts", "parts of plants" and "plant parts" have been explained above.
Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention.
Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) were for instance described in Brass/ca species (WO 92/05251, WO 95/09910, WO 98/27806, WO 05/002324, WO 06/021972 and US 6,229,072).
However, genetic determinants for male sterility can also be located in the nuclear genome.
Male sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering. A particularly useful means of obtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, for example, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar (e.g. WO 91/02069).
Herbicide-resistant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e.
plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof. Plants can be made tolerant to glyphosate through different means. For example, Date Recue/Date Received 2021-06-25 BCS 14-3033 Ca Prio glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant C'F7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (Science 1983, 221, 370-371), the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp.
(Curr. Topics Plant Physiol. 1992, 7, 139-145), the genes encoding a Petunia EPSPS (Science 1986, 233, 478-481), a Tomato EPSPS Biol. Chem. 1988, 263, 4280-4289), or an Eleusine EPSPS (WO
01/66704). It can also be a mutated EPSPS as described in for example EP 0837944, WO 00/66746, WO 00/66747 or WO 02/26995, WO
11/000498. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxido-reductase enzyme as described in US 5,776,760 and US 5,463,175. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme as described in for example WO 02/036782, WO 03/092360, WO 05/012515 and WO 07/024782. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants containing naturally-occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes, as described in for example WO
01/024615 or WO 03/013226. Plants expressing EPSPS genes that confer glyphosate tolerance are described in e.g.
U.S. Patent Applications 11/517,991, 10/739,610, 12/139,408, 12/352,532, 11/312,866, 11/315,678, 12/421,292, 11/400,598, 11/651,752, 11/681,285, 11/605,824, 12/468,205, 11/760,570, 11/762,526, 11/769,327, 11/769,255, 11/943801 or 12/362,774. Plants comprising other genes that confer glyphosate tolerance, such as decarboxylase genes, are described in e.g. U.S. Patent Applications 11/588,811, 11/185,342, 12/364,724, 11/185,560 or 12/423,926.
Other herbicide resistant plants are for example plants that are made tolerant to herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutamine synthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition, e.g. described in U.S. Patent Application 11/760,602. One such efficient detoxifying enzyme is an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species).
Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase are for example described in U.S. Patents 5,561,236; 5,648,477; 5,646,024; 5,273,894; 5,637,489; 5,276,268; 5,739,082;
5,908,810 and 7,112,665.
Still further herbicide resistant plants are plants that are made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Known ALS-inhibitors include, for example, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidinyoxy(thio)benzoates, and/or sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone herbicides. Different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase, AFIAS) are known to confer tolerance to different herbicides and groups of herbicides, as described for example in Tranel and Wright (Weed Science 2002, 50, 700-712), but also, in U.S. Patents 5,605,011, 5,378,824, 5,141,870, and 5,013,659. The production of sulfonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants is described in U.S. Patents 5,605,011; 5,013,659; 5,141,870; 5,767,361;
5,731,180; 5,304,732; 4,761,373; 5,331,107;
5,928,937; and 5,378,824; and WO 96/33270. Other imiciamlinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO 04/040012, WO 04/106529, WO 05/020673, WO 05/093093, WO 06/007373, WO
06/015376, WO 06/024351, and WO 06/060634. Further sulfonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO
07/024782, WO 2011/076345, WO 2012058223, WO 2012150335 and U.S. Patent Application 61/288958. Of TM
particular interest are varieties of winter rapeseed being resistant against ALS-inhibitors (tradename Clearfield, Clierfield Vantiga).
Plants of the genus Brass/ca (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants with altered oil profile characteristics. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants contain a mutation imparting such altered oil profile characteristics and include:
a) Plants, such as oilseed rape plants, producing oil having a high oleic acid content as described e.g. in US
5,969,169, US 5,840,946 or US 6,323,392 or US 6,063,947 b) Plants such as oilseed rape plants, producing oil having a low linolenic acid content as described in US

2012075426.
Plants of the genus Brass/ca (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants with altered seed shattering characteristics. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants contain a mutation imparting such altered seed shattering characteristics and include plants such as oilseed rape plants with delayed or reduced seed shattering as described in WO 2009/068313 and WO 2010/006732, WO 2012090499.
Varieties of winter rapeseed being resistant against ALS-inhibitors are e.g.
such varieties available under tradename Clearfield, Clierfield Vantiga.

The active ingredients selected from the group consisting of azoxystrobin, boscalid, cyprodinil, fludioxonil, iprociione, penthiopyrad, picoxystrobin, prothioconazole are preferably used in a weight ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:10, more preferably in a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:5. By using fludioxonil as further agrochemically active compound, the active ingredients cyprodinil and fludioxonil are preferably used in a weight ratio of 1:0.1 to 1:10, more preferably in a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:2, most preferably in a weight ratio of 1:0.5 to 1:1.5.
The present invention further relates to the above mentioned use of prothioconazole, wherein the Brassicaceae plant, in particular the oilseed rape plant is a transgenic plant.
Genetically modified organisms are for example plants or seeds. Genetically modified plants are plants whose genome has, stably integrated, a certain heterologous gene coding for a certain protein. Here, "heterologous gene" is meant to be taiderstood as a gene which confers novel agronomical properties on the transformed plant, or a gene which improves the agronomical quality of the modified plant.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, trunsgenic plants und plant eultivars obtained by genetic;
engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (genetically modified organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The terms "parts", "parts of plants" and "plant parts" have been explained above.
Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention.
Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) were for instance described in Brass/ca species (WO 92/05251, WO 95/09910, WO 98/27806, WO 05/002324, WO 06/021972 and US 6,229,072).
However, genetic determinants for male sterility can also be located in the nuclear genome.
Male sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering. A particularly useful means of obtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, for example, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar (e.g. WO 91/02069).
Herbicide-resistant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e.
plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof. Plants can be made tolerant to glyphosate through different means. For example, Date Recue/Date Received 2021-06-25 BCS 14-3033 Ca Prio glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant C'F7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (Science 1983, 221, 370-371), the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp.
(Curr. Topics Plant Physiol. 1992, 7, 139-145), the genes encoding a Petunia EPSPS (Science 1986, 233, 478-481), a Tomato EPSPS Biol. Chem. 1988, 263, 4280-4289), or an Eleusine EPSPS (WO
01/66704). It can also be a mutated EPSPS as described in for example EP 0837944, WO 00/66746, WO 00/66747 or WO 02/26995, WO
11/000498. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate oxido-reductase enzyme as described in US 5,776,760 and US 5,463,175. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme as described in for example WO 02/036782, WO 03/092360, WO 05/012515 and WO 07/024782. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants containing naturally-occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes, as described in for example WO
01/024615 or WO 03/013226. Plants expressing EPSPS genes that confer glyphosate tolerance are described in e.g.
U.S. Patent Applications 11/517,991, 10/739,610, 12/139,408, 12/352,532, 11/312,866, 11/315,678, 12/421,292, 11/400,598, 11/651,752, 11/681,285, 11/605,824, 12/468,205, 11/760,570, 11/762,526, 11/769,327, 11/769,255, 11/943801 or 12/362,774. Plants comprising other genes that confer glyphosate tolerance, such as decarboxylase genes, are described in e.g. U.S. Patent Applications 11/588,811, 11/185,342, 12/364,724, 11/185,560 or 12/423,926.
Other herbicide resistant plants are for example plants that are made tolerant to herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutamine synthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition, e.g. described in U.S. Patent Application 11/760,602. One such efficient detoxifying enzyme is an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species).
Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase are for example described in U.S. Patents 5,561,236; 5,648,477; 5,646,024; 5,273,894; 5,637,489; 5,276,268; 5,739,082;
5,908,810 and 7,112,665.
Still further herbicide resistant plants are plants that are made tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Known ALS-inhibitors include, for example, sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidinyoxy(thio)benzoates, and/or sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone herbicides. Different mutations in the ALS enzyme (also known as acetohydroxyacid synthase, AFIAS) are known to confer tolerance to different herbicides and groups of herbicides, as described for example in Tranel and Wright (Weed Science 2002, 50, 700-712), but also, in U.S. Patents 5,605,011, 5,378,824, 5,141,870, and 5,013,659. The production of sulfonylurea-tolerant plants and imidazolinone-tolerant plants is described in U.S. Patents 5,605,011; 5,013,659; 5,141,870; 5,767,361;
5,731,180; 5,304,732; 4,761,373; 5,331,107;
5,928,937; and 5,378,824; and WO 96/33270. Other imiciamlinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO 04/040012, WO 04/106529, WO 05/020673, WO 05/093093, WO 06/007373, WO
06/015376, WO 06/024351, and WO 06/060634. Further sulfonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO
07/024782, WO 2011/076345, WO 2012058223, WO 2012150335 and U.S. Patent Application 61/288958. Of TM
particular interest are varieties of winter rapeseed being resistant against ALS-inhibitors (tradename Clearfield, Clierfield Vantiga).
Plants of the genus Brass/ca (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants with altered oil profile characteristics. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants contain a mutation imparting such altered oil profile characteristics and include:
a) Plants, such as oilseed rape plants, producing oil having a high oleic acid content as described e.g. in US
5,969,169, US 5,840,946 or US 6,323,392 or US 6,063,947 b) Plants such as oilseed rape plants, producing oil having a low linolenic acid content as described in US

2012075426.
Plants of the genus Brass/ca (that can be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which may also be treated according to the invention are plants with altered seed shattering characteristics. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants contain a mutation imparting such altered seed shattering characteristics and include plants such as oilseed rape plants with delayed or reduced seed shattering as described in WO 2009/068313 and WO 2010/006732, WO 2012090499.
Varieties of winter rapeseed being resistant against ALS-inhibitors are e.g.
such varieties available under tradename Clearfield, Clierfield Vantiga.

BCS 14-3033 Ca Prio Examples Example 1 Disease Control L160S and InVigor 5440 (Bayer CropScience) were planted at four different locations in Alberta daringMay, 2014. Proline 480 SC (containing 480 g/1 Prothioconazole as a suspension concentrate ) was applied at the BBCH stage 62 to 65 at a dosage of 0.15 kg/ha with an application rate of 0.3125 1/ha. The controls were not treated. 5440 is a commercial available and registered variety.
Disease was assessed one time during the BBCH stages 81 to 85. The average of the mean of the assessment is shown.
Sclerotinia disease was assessed using the disease severity index (DSI).
Disease severity index (McRoberts et al., Ann. Applied Biology (2003), 142:191-211), was estimated as DSI = 1,(x1n,)/5N
(Cardoso et al., Plant Pathology (2004), 53: 363-367), in which x, represents disease severity grade based on a descriptive scale (0: No disease, 1:
Small branch infected, 2: Large branch infected, 3: Stem at least 50% girdled,
4: Plant dead, but some yield obtained, 5: Plant dead, poor yield) (Bradley et al., Plant Dis. (2006), 90:
215-219), and xi indicating the number of diseased plants on the i-th grade of the disease scale (Cardoso et al., Plant Pathology (2004), 53: 363-367).
