Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of hydroxyisoxazolines and derivatives thereof as fungicides. It also relates to new hydroxyisoxazolines derivatives, their use as fungicides and compositions comprising thereof.
  • Isoxazole derivatives are known to be useful as crop protection agents to combat or prevent microorganisms’ infestations.
  • WO2015/129773 discloses isoxazole derivatives that may be used as fungicides.
  • W02006/031631 discloses substituted isoxazoles that may be used for the control of microbial pests, particularly fungal pests, on plants.
