Description

FUNGICIDAL MIXTURES BASED ON A TRIAZO OPYRIMIDINE DERIVATE

Description The present invention relates to fungicidal mixtures containing as active components

1) the triazolopyrimidine derivative of the formula I,

and

2) pyrifenox of the formula II,

in a synergistically effective amount.

The invention also relates to a method for controlling harmful fungi with mixtures of the compound I with the compound II and the use of the compound I with the compound II for the production of such mixtures and agents which contain these mixtures.

The compound I, 5-chloro-7- (4-methyl-piperidin-1-yl) -6- (2,4,6-trifluorophenyl) - [1,2,4] tri-azolo [1, 5 -a] pyrimidine, its preparation and its action against harmful fungi is known from the literature (WO 98/46607). The compound II, 1- (3,5-dichlorophenyl) -2-pyridin-3-ylethanone-O-methyloxime, its preparation and its action against harmful fungi is also known from the literature (EP-A 49854; common name: pyrifenox).

Mixtures of triazolopyrimidines with other active ingredients are generally known from EP-A 988790 and US 6268371. With a view to reducing the application rates and widening the spectrum of action of the known compounds, the present invention was based on mixtures which, with a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, have an improved activity against harmful fungi (synergistic mixtures).

Accordingly, the mixtures defined at the outset were found. It has also been found that, when the compound I and the compound II are used simultaneously or separately or when the compound I and the compound II are used in succession, harmful fungi can be better controlled than with the individual compounds.

The mixtures of the compound I and the compound II or the simultaneous joint or separate use of the compound I and the compound II are distinguished by an outstanding activity against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, in particular from the class of the Ascomycetes, Deuteromyces ten, Oomycetes and Basidiomycetes. They can be used in plant protection as leaf, pickling and soil fungicides.

They are particularly important for combating a large number of fungi on various crops such as bananas, cotton, vegetables (e.g. cucumbers, beans and squashes), barley, grass, oats, coffee, potatoes, corn, fruit plants, rice, rye, soybeans, tomatoes , Wine, wheat, ornamental plants, sugar cane and a variety of seeds.

They are particularly suitable for combating the following phytopathogenic fungi: Blumeria graminis (powdery mildew) on cereals, Erysiphe cichoracearum and Sphaerotheca fuliginea on pumpkin plants, Podosphaera leucotricha on apples, Uncinula necatoran vines, Puccinia species on cereals, Rhizolea species - le, rice and lawn, Ustilago species on cereals and sugar cane, Venturia inaequalis on apples, Bipolaris and Drechslera species on cereals, rice and lawn, Septoria nodumrum on wheat, Botrytis cinerea on strawberries, vegetables, ornamental plants and vines , Mycosphaerella species on bananas, peanuts and cereals, Pseudocercosporella her- potrichoides on wheat and barley, Pyricularia oryzae on rice, Phakopsora species on soybeans, Phytophthora infestans on potatoes and tomatoes, Pseudoperonospora species on squashes and hops, Plasmopara viticola on vines, Alternaria species on vegetables and fruits as well as Fusarium and Verticillium species.

They are particularly advantageous for controlling Alternaria species on vegetables and fruits. They can also be used in material protection (eg wood protection), for example against Paecilomyces variotii.

The compound I and the compound II can be applied simultaneously together or separately or in succession, the sequence in the case of separate application generally not having any effect on the success of the control measures.

When preparing the mixtures, preference is given to using the pure active ingredients I and II, to which, depending on the need, further active ingredients against harmful fungi or others

Solid carriers are e.g. Mineral earths, such as silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, attack clay, limestone, lime, chalk, bolus, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium and magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground plastics, fertilizers, e.g. Ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas and vegetable products such as cereal flour, tree bark, wood and nutshell flour, cellulose powder and other solid carriers.

The formulations generally contain between 0.01 and 95% by weight, preferably between 0.1 and 90% by weight, of the active ingredients. The active ingredients are used in a purity of 90% to 100%, preferably 95% to 100% (according to the NMR spectrum).

Examples of formulations are: 1. Products for dilution in water

A) Water-soluble concentrates (SL)

10 parts by weight of the active ingredients are dissolved in water or a water-soluble solvent. Alternatively, wetting agents or other aids are added. The active ingredient dissolves when diluted in water.

B) Dispersible concentrates (DC)

20 parts by weight of the active ingredients are dissolved in cyclohexanone with the addition of a dispersant e.g. Dissolved polyvinyl pyrrolidone. When diluted in water, a dispersion results.

C) Emulsifiable concentrates (EC)

15 parts by weight of the active ingredients are dissolved in xylene with the addition of Ca-dodecylbenzene sulfonate and castor oil ethoxylate (5% each) dissolved. Dilution in water results in an emulsion.

D) Emulsions (EW, EO) 40 parts by weight of the active ingredients are dissolved in xylene with the addition of calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and castor oil ethoxylate (5% each). This mixture is introduced into water using an emulsifying machine (Ultraturax) and brought to a homogeneous emulsion. Dilution in water results in an emulsion.

E) suspensions (SC, OD)

20 parts by weight of the active ingredients are comminuted in a stirred ball mill to form a fine active ingredient suspension with the addition of dispersing and wetting agents and water or an organic solvent. Dilution in water results in a stable suspension of the active ingredient.

2. Products for direct application

H) Dusts (DP) 5 parts by weight of the active ingredients are finely ground and intimately mixed with 95% finely divided kaolin. This gives a dust.

I) Granules (GR, FG, GG, MG)

0.5 part by weight of the active ingredients are finely ground and combined with 95.5% carriers. Common processes are extrusion, spray drying or fluidized bed. This gives granules for direct application.

J) ULV solutions (UL)

10 parts by weight of the active ingredients are dissolved in an organic solvent, for example xylene. This gives you a product for direct application. The active ingredients as such, in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom, for example in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions or dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dusts, scattering agents, granules by spraying, atomizing, dusting, scattering or Pouring can be applied. The application forms depend entirely on the purposes; in any case, they should ensure the finest possible distribution of the active compounds according to the invention.

Aqueous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders (wettable powders, oil dispersions) by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substances as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent can be homogenized in water by means of wetting agents, adhesives, dispersants or emulsifiers. However, it is also possible to prepare concentrates composed of an active substance, wetting agents, adhesives, dispersants or emulsifiers and possibly solvents or oil, which are suitable for dilution with water.

The active ingredient concentrations in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied over a wide range. In general, they are between 0.0001 and 10%, preferably between 0.01 and 1%.

The active ingredients can also be used with great success in the ultra-low-volume process (ULV), it being possible to apply formulations with more than 95% by weight of active ingredient or even the active ingredient without additives.

Oils of various types, wetting agents, adjuvants, herbicides, fungicides, other pesticides, bactericides can be added to the active compounds, if appropriate also only immediately before use (tank mix). These agents are usually added to the agents according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1:10 to 10: 1.

The compounds I and II, or the mixtures or the corresponding formulations, are used in that the harmful fungi, the plants, seeds, soils, surfaces, materials or spaces to be kept free from them are mixed with a fungicidally effective amount of the mixture or the compounds I and II when applied separately. The application can take place before or after the infestation by the harmful fungi. The fungicidal activity of the compound and the mixtures can be demonstrated by the following tests:

The active ingredients were prepared separately or together as a stock solution with 0.25% by weight of active ingredient in acetone or DMSO. 1% by weight of emulsifier Uniperol® EL (wetting agent with emulsifying and dispersing action based on ethoxylated alkylphenols) was added to this solution and diluted with water to the desired concentration.

Example of use - effectiveness against the drought stain disease of the tomato caused by Alternaria solani

Leaves of potted plants of the "Golden Princess" variety were sprayed to runoff point with an aqueous suspension in the active ingredient concentration given below. The following day, the leaves were infected with an aqueous spore suspension of Alternaria solani in 2% biomalt solution with a density of 0.17 x 10 ⁶ spores / ml. The plants were then placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at temperatures between 20 and 22 ° C. After 5 days the disease had developed so strongly on the untreated but infected control plants that the infestation could be determined visually in%.

The visually determined values for the percentage of leaf areas affected were converted into efficiencies as% of the untreated control:

Efficiency (W) is calculated using Abbot's formula as follows:

W = (1 - α / ß) - 100

α corresponds to the fungal attack of the treated plants in% and ß corresponds to the fungal attack of the untreated (control) plants in%

With an efficiency of 0, the infection of the treated plants corresponds to that of the untreated control plants; with an efficiency of 100, the treated plants show no infection.

The expected efficacies for combinations of active ingredients were determined using the Colby formula (Colby, SR (Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations ", Weeds, 15, pp. 20-22, 1967) and compared with the observed efficacies. Colby formula: E = x + y - xy / 100 expected efficiency, expressed in% of the untreated control, when using the mixture of active ingredients A and B in concentrations a and b, the efficiency, expressed in% of the untreated control, when Use of the active ingredient A in the concentration a the efficiency, expressed in% of the untreated control, when using the active ingredient B in the concentration b
