• compositions are more preferred as commercially available goods, the end consumer will, as a rule, use dilute compositions.
• compositions can also comprise other additives, such as stabilizers, antifoams, viscosity regulators, binders or adhesives, and also fertilizers and other active ingredients for achieving specific effects.

• Ph phenyl
• R, CN: 9.1 -CH, 7-Cl -CH 3
• Kaolin The active ingredient is mixed intimately with the additives and ground thoroughly in a suitable mill. This gives wettable powders which can be diluted with water to give suspensions of any desired concentration.
• Emulsions of any desired concentration can be prepared from this concentrate by dilution with water.
• Ready-for-use dusts are obtained by mixing the active ingredient with the carrier and grinding the mixture on a suitable mill.
• the active ingredient is mixed with the additives, and the mixture is ground and moistened with water. This mixture is extruded and subsequently dried in a stream of air.
• the finely ground active ingredient is applied uniformly to the kaolin which has been moistened with polyethylene glycol. Dust-free coated granules are obtained in this manner.
• the finely ground active ingredient is intimately mixed with the additives. This gives a suspension concentrate from which suspensions of any desired concentration can be prepared by dilution with water.
• Vine seedlings in the 4-5-leaf stage are sprayed with a spray mixture (0.02 % of active ingredient) prepared with a wettable powder of the active ingredient. After 24 hours, the treated plants are infected with a sporangia suspension of the fungus. The fungus infestation is assessed after incubation for 6 days at 95-100 % relative atmospheric humidity and 20°C.
• Vine seedlings in the 4-5-leaf stage are infected with a sporangia suspension of the fungus. After incubation for 24 hours in a humid chamber at 95-100 % relative atmospheric humidity and at 20°C, the infected plants are dried and sprayed with a spray mixture (0.02 % active ingredient) prepared with a wettable powder of the active ingredient. After the spray coating has dried on, the treated plants are returned to the humid chamber. The fungus infestation is assessed 6 days after the infection.
• Tomato plants are grown for 3 weeks and then sprayed with a spray mixture (0.02 % of active ingredient) prepared with a wettable powder of the active ingredient. After 24 hours, the treated plants are infected with a sporangia suspension of the fungus. The fungus infestation is assessed after incubation of the infected plants for 5 days at 90-100 % relative atmospheric humidity and 20°C.
• Tomato plants are grown for three weeks, and a spray mixture (0.002 % of active ingredient relative to the soil volume) prepared with a wettable powder of the active ingredient is added. Care is taken that the spray mixture does not come into contact with the aerial parts of the plants. After 48 hours, the treated plants are infected with a sporangia suspension of the fungus. The fungus infestation is assessed after incubation of the infected plants for 5 days at 90- 100 % relative atmospheric humidity and at 20°C.
• 2-3-week old potato plants (cultivar Bintje) are grown for 3 weeks and then sprayed with a spray mixture (0.02 % active ingredient) prepared with a wettable powder of the active ingredient. After 24 hours, the treated plants are infected with a sporangia suspension of the fungus. The fungus infestation is assessed after incubation of the infected plants for 5 days at 90-100 % relative atmospheric humidity and 20°C.
• 2-3-week old potato plants (cultivar Bintje) are grown for three weeks, and a spray mixture (0.002 % of active ingredient relative to the soil volume) prepared with a wettable powder of the active ingredient is added. Care is taken that the spray mixture does not come into contact with the aerial parts of the plants. After 48 hours, the treated plants are infected with a sporangia suspension of the fungus.
