Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

The present invention is based on the general formula () (wherein, X represents up to two identical or different halogen atoms or lower haloalkyl groups,
Y represents up to two halogen atoms. ) and zinc propylene bisdithiocarbamate (hereinafter abbreviated as "propineb") as an active ingredient. Traditionally, vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants were grown seasonally, but with the spread of greenhouse horticulture technology and the increasing public demand for fresh vegetables, they are now grown in the same year regardless of the season. It became like that. In particular, cultivation of these vegetables from autumn to winter requires appropriate temperature, humidity, and sunshine hours, so greenhouse cultivation has become mainstream from the viewpoint of cultivation management. However, cultivation under the limited artificial temperature inside a greenhouse results in excessive humidity.
The reality is that various diseases are occurring, causing great damage such as reduced yields and deterioration of quality. The main diseases of cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants include powdery mildew, late blight, scab, anthracnose, downy mildew, and gray mold, but there are fungicides that can simultaneously control these diseases. few. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop new fungicides and control techniques that can simultaneously control these diseases in a labor-saving and economical manner. Propineb, one of the active ingredients of the present invention, is
Page 17 of "Modern Pesticides Course" (published by Asakura Shoten on December 5, 1970), "Pesticide Handbook 1981 Edition" (published by Japan Plant Protection Association on July 20, 1981)
It is known from page 146 of . It is also used as a control agent against tomato leaf mold, cucumber downy mildew, and potato late blight. In addition, although propineb is a common disinfectant with a relatively wide range of applications, its control effect is limited to the preventive effect in spraying before the invasion of pathogens, and no therapeutic effect can be expected after the invasion of pathogens. Furthermore, in order for propineb to be stable and highly effective against the various diseases for which it is applied,
It is necessary to spray high-concentration chemicals of 900 to 1,800 ppm multiple times, causing problems with crop contamination and chemical damage. The triazole derivative, which is one of the active ingredients, is a compound disclosed as a fungicide for agricultural and horticultural purposes in Japanese Patent Application No. 163409/1982. It is highly effective against mildew and mildew on eggplants, apples, grapes, green onions, chrysanthemums, etc. with a relatively low dose. However, this triazole derivative also exhibits control activity against diseases such as cucumber anthracnose, cucumber sclerotium, cucumber gray mold, tomato ring spot, pear scab, and apple spot defoliation; The disadvantage is that the amount of chemicals required to control the disease must be 10 times or more than that required to control powdery mildew and rust on various crops. In order to develop a practical agricultural and horticultural fungicide that makes use of the advantages of propineb and supplements its disadvantages, the present inventors tested mixtures of propineb and various chemicals and conducted intensive studies on the mixing effects. . As a result, we have found that a novel fungicide prepared by mixing propineb with one of the triazole compounds represented by the general formula (2) meets the above objectives and can be an excellent fungicide. As is clear from the following test examples, the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention is effective against major diseases of vegetables such as powdery mildew, anthracnose, and vine blight. It also exhibits extremely high control effects against various fruit tree diseases such as pear scab, apple leaf spot, and peach anthracnose, and these effects are due to the effects of using each active ingredient alone. can be exerted with unexpected and significant synergy. The present invention was made based on this new knowledge, and since the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention can synergistically control various diseases, the amount of active ingredient used is higher than the usual amount used alone. Only a small amount is required, and there is less worry about toxicity to humans and livestock and chemical damage to useful crops, so it can be used with confidence.
Furthermore, the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention can simultaneously control various diseases of vegetables and fruit trees, such as powdery mildew, rust, and anthracnose, with a single agent, so it is a labor-saving and economical control agent. It is an excellent drug with high practicality. Triazole derivatives represented by the general formula () used as active ingredients of the present invention are illustrated below, but the present invention is not limited only to these exemplified compounds. In addition, the compound number is also referred to in the following Examples and Test Examples. Compound 1 4-chlorobenzyl N-(2,4-

It can be formulated into wettable powders, emulsions, powders, tablets, granules, flowables (sols), etc. and used according to known methods. The carriers used in the present invention include solid carriers such as clay, talc, bentonite, kaolin, diatomaceous earth, and silica, or benzene, xylene, toluene, kerosene, and alcohols (methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, etc.). Liquid carriers such as , ketones (acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.) are used. A suitable surfactant or other auxiliary agent such as a stabilizer, a spreading agent, etc. can be added to these in an appropriate amount to prepare a formulation for use. In the present invention, it is appropriate to mix the active ingredients in a weight ratio of 0.1 to 20 parts of propineb to 1 part of the triazole derivative, but the mixing ratio may vary depending on the conditions at the time of application and the disease occurrence situation. It can be used with appropriate changes. Moreover, other fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, etc. can be mixed with the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention. Next, Examples of the agricultural and horticultural fungicides of the present invention will be shown. Note that all numbers in the middle part of the example indicate parts by weight. Example 1 Wettable powder A wettable powder is obtained by uniformly mixing and pulverizing 10 parts of Compound 2, 10 parts of propineb, 5 parts of polyoxyethylene allyl ether, 3 parts of calcium lignin sulfonate, and 72 parts of diatomaceous earth. When using the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention, the amount of active ingredient used can be in the range of 10 g to 1000 g per 10 ares, and the application concentration can be in the range of 0.001% to 0.1%. However, it is desirable to change the blending ratio, application amount, and application concentration as appropriate depending on the application conditions and disease occurrence status. Next, the outstanding effects of the agricultural and horticultural fungicide of the present invention will be explained using test examples.
