The compounds of the invention of NZ 225945 contain at least one carbon-carbon double bond, and are sometimes obtained in the form of mixtures of geometric isomers. However, these mixtures can be separated into individual isomers, and 25 this invention embraces such isomers, and mixtures thereof in all proportions including those which consist substantially of the (Z^)-isomer and those which consist substantially of the (E)-isomer.
The individual isomers which result from the 30 unsymmetrically substituted double bond of the propenoate group are identified by the commonly used terms "E" and "Z". These terms are defined according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system which is fully described in the literature (see, for example, J March, "Advanced Organic 35 Chemistry", 3rd edition, Wiley-Interscience, page 109 et seq) . / 235075 Usually one isomer is more active fungicidally than the other, the more active isomer usually being the one wherein the groups -CO2CH3 and -OCH3 are on opposite sides of the olefinic bond of the propenoate group (the (E)-isomer). These (E)-isomers form a preferred embodiment of the invention.
The substituent Z in compound (I) is optionally substituted aryl or optionally substituted heteroaryl.
Where valency allows, each of the optionally substituted groups aryl or heteroaryl can carry up to 5 substitutents. The term "aryl" includes phenyl in particular, and naphthyl. The term "heteroaryl" includes 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic groups containing one or more of each of the heteroatoms O, S and N (preferably S or N), fused benzenoid and heteroaromatic ring systems, and, in each case, the corresponding N-oxides. Examples of heteroaryl groups which Z may be are pyridinyl, pyrimidinyl, pyrazinyl, pyridazinyl, 1,2,3-, 1,2,4-, and 1,3,5-triazinyl, 1,2,4,5-tetrazinyl, 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-triazolyl, thienyl, furyl, pyrrolyl, thiazolyl, oxadiazolyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, quinoxalinyl, benzothienyl, benzoxazolyl and benzthiazolyl and, where appropriate, the corresponding N-oxide^.

\ I ,-iSfci.1 235 075 The compounds of formula (I) can be made by a variety of methods, and some of these are illustrated in Schemes I to VIII. Throughout these Schemes, the terms Z, X, A, B, E, K, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as defined above, R® is hydrogen or a metal (such as sodium or potassium), R is an alkyl group, and L is a leaving group such as a halide (chloride, bromide or iodide), a CHgS04-anion, or a sulphonyloxy-anion. Each of the transformations described in Schemes I to VIII is performed at a suitable temperature and either in a suitable solvent or in the absence of a solvent.
Scheme I illustrates ways in which the methyl beta-methoxypropenoate group can be constructed in the final stages of the preparation of the compounds of the invention from precursors with a preformed framework of 3 aromatic rings. Alternatively, the methyl beta-methoxy-propenoate group may be constructed at an earlier stage of the preparation, in which case the final step or steps comprise elaboration of other parts of the compounds of the invention to form the framework of 3 aromatic rings. Examples of procedures of this kind are shown in Schemes III to VIII.
In whichever order the steps are carried out to prepare the compounds of the invention, the diphenyl ether or thioether linkage which is common to all the compounds of the invention can be prepared by one of the coupling reactions shown in Scheme II. For a review of the Ullmann ether synthesis see A.A. Moroz and M.S. Shrartsberg, Russian Chem.Reviews, 1974, 43, 679. See also D. Hands, H. Marley, S.J. Skittrall, S.H.B. Wright and T. R. Verhoeven, J.Heterocyclic Chem., 1986, 23, 1333. These couplings are often performed in the presence of a catalyst which consists of a transition metal or a salt or compound of a transition metal, such as copper or a copper salt or compound, or a mixture thereof. In Scheme II, the 235075 term W represents either the group Z-X-, wherein Z and X are as defined above, or a group which can be converted by standard procedures described in the chemical literature into the group Z-X-; for example V/ can be -OH, -SH, or -5 NHR4. The term Y represents either the alpha-linked methyl beta-methoxypropenoate group of the compounds of the invention or a group which can be converted into such a group by standard methods described in the chemical literature and/or described in Scheme I and the following 10 paragraphs. For example Y can be -CH2COOH, -CH2COOMe or -CHO. In the context of Scheme II, the term L is preferably a halogen. Thus compounds of formula (XI) react with compounds of formula (XII) under the conditions of the Ullmann reaction already described to give the 15 intermediates of formula (VIII). As an example of one of the coupling reactions shown in Scheme II, substituted 3-phenoxyphenols, as their salts, undergo coupling with 2-bromo- or 2-chlorophenylacetic acid salts to give, after acidification, substituted 2-(3-phenoxyphenoxy)phenyl-20 acetic acids (compare, for example, GB 2078-743, Ihara Chem.Ind., 27.06.80). Alternatively, intermediates of formula (VIII) can be made by reacting compounds of formula (IX) with compounds of formula (X) under the conditions of the Ullmann reaction already described. 25 In one particular aspect, the invention of NZ 225945 includes a process for the preparation of the compound of formula (I) which comprises reacting a compound of general formula (Xlla) : y' ch3o2c ch.och- wherein Y is halogen with a phenol or thiophenol of general formula (XIa) : 235 075 - 76 -A B (XIa) kh in the presence of a base, or with a salt of the phenol or thiophenol (xia), preferably in the presence of a catalyst which comprises a suitable transition metal, a transition metal salt or compound or a mixture thereof.
The compounds of formula (I) can be prepared from the phenylacetates of formula (III) or the ketoesters of formula (VI) by-the steps shown in Scheme I.
Thus compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by treatment of phenylacetates of formula (III) with a base (such as sodium hydride or sodium methoxide) and methyl formate. If a species of formula CHgL, wherein L is as defined above, is then added to the reaction mixture, compounds of formula (I) may be obtained. If a protic acid is added to the reaction mixture, compounds of formula (II) wherein R® is hydrogen are obtained. Alternatively, the species of formula (II) wherein R® is a metal (such as sodium) may themselves be isolated from the i reaction mixture.
Compounds of formula (ii) wherein R^ is a metal can be converted into compounds of formula (I) by treatment with a species of formula CH^L, wherein L is as defined above. Compounds of formula (II) wherein R® is hydrogen can be converted into compounds of formula (I) by successive treatments with a base (such as potassium carbonate) and a species of general formula CHgL.
Alternatively, compounds of formula (I) can be prepared from acetals of formula (IV) by elimination of methanol under either acidic or basic conditions.
Examples of reagents or reagent mixtures which can be used for this transformation are lithium di-isopropylamide; potassium hydrogen sulphate (see, for example, T Yamada, H Hagiwara and H Uda, J.Chem.Soc. , Chemical Communications, '7;' ♦ . 235 07 5 1980, 838, and references therein); and triethylamine, often in the presence of a Lewis acid such as titanium tetrachloride (see, for example, K Nsunda and L Heresi, J.Chem.Soc., Chemical Communications, 1985, 1000).
Acetals of formula (IV) can be prepared by treatment of methyl silyl ketene acetals of formula (V), wherein R is an alkyl group, with trimethyl orthoformate in the presence of a Lewis acid such as titanium tetrachloride (see, for example, K Saigo, M Osaki and T Mukaiyama, Chemistry Letters, 1976, 769).
Methyl silyl ketene acetals of formula (V) can be prepared from phenylacetates of formula (III) by treatment with a base and a trialkylsilyl halide of formula RgSiCl or RgSiBr, such as trimethylsilyl chloride, or a base (such as triethylamine) and a trialkylsilyl triflate of formula R3Si-0S02CF3 (see, for example, C Ainsworth, F Chen and Y Kuo, J.Organometallic Chemistry, 1972, 46, 59) .
It is not always necessary to isolate the intermediates (IV) and (V); under appropriate conditions, compounds of formula (I) may be prepared from phenylacetates of formula (III) in "one pot" by the successive addition of suitable reagents listed above.
Alternatively, compounds of formula (I) can be prepared by treatment of ketoesters of formula (VI) with a methoxymethylenating reagent, for example, methoxymethylenetriphenylphosphorane (see, for example, W Steglich, G Schramm, T Anke and F Oberwinkler, EP 0044448, 4.7.1980).
Ketoesters of formula (VI) may be prepared by methods described in the literature. Particularly useful methods include (i) the reaction of appropriate phenylmagnesium halides or phenyl-lithium species with dimethyl oxalate using the method described by L M Weinstock, R B Currie and A V Lovell, Synth. Commun. , 1981, 1_1, 943 and references therein; (ii) oxidation of phenylacetates of 235 0.75 formula (III) using selenium dioxide, generally in the absence of a solvent, and generally at a temperature above 100°C? and (iii) oxidation of mandelic acid esters using, for example, manganese oxide in a suitable solvent.
Phenylacetates of formula (III) and the corresponding phenylacetic acids of formula (VII) may also be prepared by numerous other methods described in the chemical O literature. For example, several useful methods are described by D C Atkinson, K E Godfrey, B Meek, J F 10 Saville and M R Stillings, J.Med.Chem., 1983, 26^, 1353 and D C Atkinson, K E Godfrey, P L Meyers, N C Phillips, M R Stillings and A P Welbourn, J-.Med.Chem. , 1983, 26^ 1361. Furthermore, many of the methods described for the preparation of 2-arylpropionic esters and acids by J-P 15 Rieu, A Boucherle, H Cousse and G Mouzin, Tetrahedron, 1986, 42^ 4095, are also applicable to the preparation of phenylacetates of formula (III) and phenylacetic acids of formula (VII) using appropriate precursors wherein the ortho substituted-phenoxy substituent and the substituent 20 E are already present. 3 (tyr. - '--i.ii^"i 235075 Scheme I E (I) (IV) ^CH^ CH302C ^ CH(0CH3)2 ZX A B Jdu CH: C (OCH3) (OSiRg) (V) w J (II) A B ZX K / (III) / CH2CO2CH2 (VII) CH2C02H \ \ \ If vL5\?*-"V7 .

Thus,, in scheme III, in the presence of a base, and sometimes in the presence of a transition metal or transition metal salt catalyst, such as a copper or copper salt catalyst, compounds of formula (XIII) react with aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds of formula ZL, wherein Z and L are as defined above, or with iodonium salts of formula Z2I+T~, wherein Z is as defined as above and T~ is a counter ion, such as a halide ion, or with aryl or heteroarylbismuth species, to give compounds of formula (XIV). In addition, in the presence of a base, compounds of formula (XIII) react with aryl- or heteroarylsulphonyl halides of formula ZSO2Q/ wherein Z is as defined above and Q is a halogen, to give compounds of formula (XV). Furthermore, and also in the presence of a base, compounds of formula (XIII) react with arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl species of formula ZCHR1L, wherein Z, R1 and L are as defined above, to give compounds of formula (XVI).
In scheme IV, the thiols of formula (XVII), generally in the presence of a base, react with aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds of formula ZL, or with iodonium salts of formula Z2l+T~, or with aryl- or heteroarylbismuth species, to give compounds of formula (XVIII) in ways which are analogous to the reactions of the corresponding phenols of formula (XIII) shown in Scheme III. Similarly, and again in the presence of a base, the thiols of formula (XVII) react with arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl species- of formula ZCHR^L to give compounds of formula (XIX). The sulphides of formula (XVIII) and (XIX) can be oxidised to the corresponding sulphoxides and sulphones by standard methods described in the chemical literature.
In Scheme V, compounds of formula (XX) react with hydroxy-derivatives of aromatic or heteroaromatic compounds of formula ZOH, wherein Z is as defined above, often in the presence of a base, to form compounds of 5 formula (XXI). Furthermore, compounds of formula (XX) react with trialkylphosphites of formula P(OR)3 or with species of formula M+P~(O)(OR)2• wherein R is as defined above in each case and M is a metal such as sodium or lithium, to give phosphonates of formula (XXII). 10 Phosphonates of formula (XXII), in the presence of a base, react with aldehydes or ketones of formula ZR^C:0, wherein Z and R1 are as defined above,- to give olefins of formula (XXIV). In addition, aldehydes or ketones of formula (XXIII), on treatment with phosphonate anions of formula 15 ZR^C-P(0) (OR)2M"1", wherein Z, R, R^ and M are as defined above, or with the corresponding phosphoranes, also give olefins of formula (XXIV). The olefins of formula (XXIV) can be reduced to the compounds of formula (XXV) by, for example, hydrogenation over an appropriate catalyst. 20 In Scheme VI, compounds of formula (XXVI), in the presence of a base, react with acid halides of formula ZCOQ, wherein Z and Q are as defined above, or, in the presence of an appropriate dehydrating agent, react with acids of formula ZCO2H, wherein Z is as defined above, to 25 give compounds of formula (XXVII).
Intermediates of formula (XXVI) can also be converted into other types of compound of the invention of formula (I) by methods described in the chemical literature. For example, compounds of formula (XXVI) wherein R4 is 30 hydrogen can be converted, via diazotisation, into the corresponding sulphonyl chlorides (compare Organic Syntheses, 1981, 60, 121) and then, by treatment with alcohols or phenols in the presence of a base, into sulphonic esters. 235 075 Compounds of the invention of formula (I) wherein at least one of A and B is hydrogen may be converted into compounds of the invention of formula (I) wherein at least one of A and B are certain substituents (such as a halogen or a nitro or acyl group) by electrophilic substitution processes of the kind described in the chemical literature.
The intermediates of formulae (XIII), (XVII), (XX), (XXIII) and (XXVI) can be prepared by processes described in the chemical literature and by processes of the kinds described in Schemes I and II. For example, compounds of formula (XX) where L is bromine can be made from compounds of formula (XX) where L is H, by reaction with N-bromosuccinimide or N,N-dibromo-dimethylhydantoin, in the presence or absence of irradiation by light.
The intermediates of formulae (IX), (X), (XI), (XII), ZL, Z2I+T~, ZCH^L, ZSO2Q, ZOH, ZR^O, ZR1C~P(0) (OR)2M+, ZCOQ and ZC02H can be made by methods described in the chemical literature.

The aldehydes or ketones of formula (XXIII) can react with oxyamines of formula ZONH2 or ZCHR^ON^, or with hydrazines of formula ZNR^N^, wherein Z and R* are as 10 defined above, to give compounds of the invention of formula (I) where X is the group ON=C,R2, CHR^ON=CR2, or NR*N=CR2 respectively. Also, compounds of formula (XXIII) can react with Grignard reagents of formula ZMgHal or zcHR^MgHal, where Hal is chlorine, bromine or iodine and 15 z and R1 are as defined above, to give compounds of the invention of formula (I) where X is CR2(OH) or CHRi.CHOH respectively. Also, compounds of formula (XXIII) can react with an amine of formula ZNHR10 wherein Z is as defined above and R10 is hydrogen or Cj^-4 alkyl, in 20 the presence of a reducing agent (such as sodium v*..> *-»...». - - 235075 cyanoborohydride or hydrogen gas in the presence of a suitable metal catalyst) to give a compound of the invention of formula (I) where X is nr10chr2.
When the reducing agent is left out and when R* is H, then the immediately preceding procedure will give compounds of the invention of formula (I) where X is N=CR2 or, when an amine of the formula ZCH^O.NH is used, CHR^-O.N^CR2.
Compounds of formula (XXVIII) where R2 is H, can also be oxidised to carboxylic acids of formula (XXIX), using for example Jones' reagent (chromium trioxide in sulphuric acid). The carboxylic acids (XXIX) can be converted directly into compounds of the invention of formula (I) ~ where, for example, X is C^C, CHR^OCO, SCO, CHR^SCO, NR4CO or CHRlNR^CO, using one of the standard coupling reagents well known in the literature, such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide or carbonyldiimidazole, in a suitable solvent.
Alternatively, the carboxylic acids of formula (XXIX) can be converted into the acid chlorides of formula (XXX) by treatment with, for example, thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride. The acid chlorides of formula (XXX) can then react, for example, with compounds of formula ZOH, ZCHR1OH, ZSH, ZCHR1SH, ZNR4H or ZCHR^R^ in a suitable -solvent, in the presence of a base, to give compounds of the invention of formula (I) where X is O2C, CHR^OCO, SCO, CHR1SCO, NR4CO, or CHR1NR4CO respectively.
Compounds of formula (XXVIII) can also react directly with compounds of formula ZL, optionally in the presence of a base, where Z is a reactive aromatic group (for example nitrophenyl) or heteroaromatic group (for example 2-pyridyl or 2-pyrimidinyl) to give compounds of the invention of formula (XXI). It may be necessary first generate the oxygen anion of compounds of formula (XXVIII) with a strong base such as sodium hydride.
Additionally, compounds of formula (XXVIII) can be converted into compounds of formula (XX) by treatment, for 235 075 example, with a halogenation agent such as thionyl chloride or phosphorus tribromide, where L is chlorine or bromine, or by treatment with a sulphonyl halide (such as p-toluenesulphonyl chloride) in the presence of an acid acceptor, where L is a sulphonyloxy group. Compounds of formula (XX) can then be used as shown in Scheme V. Additionally, where L is halogen, they can be converted by reaction with a phosphine of formula ZfR^^P, wherein is as defined above, into compounds of the invention of formula (I), where X is the group (R5)2P+CHR2Q~. These compounds can then react successively with a base and a carbonyl compound of formula ZCOR^, wherein Z and are as defined above, to give olefins of formula (XXIV).
Scheme VIII illustrates examples of intermediates of formula (VIII), shown in Scheme II, where W is any group that can be converted to ZX-, and Y is any group that can be converted to the methyl beta-methoxypropenoate group.
Compounds of formula (XXXI) can react with compounds of formula (XXXII) to give compounds of formula (XXXIII), using the general Ullmann coupling conditions described in detail for the reaction of compounds of formula (XI) and (XII) in Scheme II. The acids of formula (XXXIII) can be i converted into methyl esters of formula (XXXIV) by reaction with methanol in the presence of acid (for example hydrochloric acid). Compounds of formula (XXXIV) can then be converted into methyl beta-methoxypropenoates of formula (XXVIII) by the methods described in detail in Scheme I.
Alternatively, the intermediates of formula (XXXIV) can be converted into intermediates of formulae (XXXVIII), (XXXV), (XXXVI), (XXXVII) and (III) using the methods described in Scheme VII for the conversion of the propenoates of formula (XXVIII) into compounds of formula (XXIII), (XX), (XXIX), (XXX) and (I).

Thanatephorus cucumeris on rice and other Rhizoctonia 5 species on various host such as wheat and barley, vegetables, cotton and turf.
Some of the compounds show a broad range of activities against fungi in vitro. They may also have activity against various post-harvest diseases of fruit 10 (e.g. Penicillium digitatum and italicum and Trichoderma viride on oranges, Gloeosporium musarum on bananas and Botrytis cinerea on grapes). - Further, some of the compounds may be active as seed dressings against Fusarium spp., Septoria spp., Tilletia 15 spp., (bunt, a seed borne disease of wheat), Ustilago spp., Helminthosporium spp. on cereals, Rhizoctonia solani on cotton and Pyricularia oryzae on rice.
The compounds may have systemic movement in plants. Moreover, the compounds may be volatile enough to 20 be active in the vapour phase against fungi on the plant.
Many of the compounds of formula (I), including those in which X is O, are safer on certain crops (e.g. vines) i than known structurally related compounds.
The invention therefore provides a method of 25 combating fungi, which comprises applying to a plant, to seed of a plant, or to the locus of the plant or seed, an effective amount of a compound as hereinbefore defined, or a composition containing the same.
The compounds may also be useful as industrial (as 30 opposed to agricultural) fungicides, e.g. in the prevention of fungal attack on wood, hides, leather and especially paint films.
The compounds may be used directly for fungicidal purposes but are more conveniently formulated into 3 5 compositions using a carrier or diluent. The invention thus provides a fungicidal composition comprising a 235 075 compound of general formula (I) as hereinbefore defined, and a fungicidally acceptable carrier or diluent.
Used as fungicides, the compounds can be applied in a number of ways. For example they can be applied, formulated or unformulated, directly to the foliage of a plant, to seeds or to other medium in which plants are growing or are to be planted, or they can be sprayed on, dusted on or applied as a cream or paste formulation, or they can be applied as a vapour or as slow release granules. Application can be to any part of the plant including the foliage, stems, branches or roots, or to soil surrounding the roots, or to the seed before ic is planted; or to the soil generally, to paddy water or to hydroponic culture systems. The invention compounds may also be injected into plants or sprayed onto vegetation using electrodynamic spraying techniques or other low volume methods.
The term "plant" as used herein includes seedlings, bushes and trees. Furthermore, the fungicidal method of the invention includes preventative, protectant, prophylactic and eradicant treatment.
The compounds are preferably used for agricultural .. t and horticultural purposes in the form of a composition, the type of composition used in any instance will depend upon the particular purpose envisaged.
The compositions may be in the form of dustable powders or granules comprising the active ingredient (invention compound) and a solid diluent or carrier, for example fillers such as kaolin, bentonite, kiesselguhr, dolomite, calcium carbonate, talc, powdered magnesia, Fuller's earth, gypsum, diatomaceous earth and China clay. Such granules can be performed granules suitable for application to the soil without further treatment. These 23 5 0 75 granules can be made either by impregnating pellets of filler with the active ingredient or by pelleting a mixture of the active ingredent and powdered filler. Compositions for dressing seed may include an agent (for example a mineral oil) for assisting the adhesion of the composition to the seed; alternatively the active ingredient can be formulated for seed dressing purposes using an organic solvent (for example N-methylpyrrolidone, propylene glycol or dimethylformamide). The compositions may also be in the form of wettable powders of water dispersible granules comprising wetting or dispersing agents to facilitate the dispersion in liquids. The powders and granules may also contain fillers and suspending agents.
Emulsifiable concentrates or emulsions may be prepared by dissolving the active ingredient in an organic solvent optionally controlling a wetting or emulsifying agent and then adding the mixture to water which may also contain a wetting or emulsifying agent. Suitable organic solvents are aromatic solvents such as alkylbenzenes and alkylnaphthalenes, ketones such as isophorone, cyclohexanone, and methylcyclohexanone, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene and trichlorethane, and alcohols such as benzyl alcohol, furfuryl alcohol, butanol and glycol ethers.
Suspension concentrates of largely insoluble solids may be prepared by ball or bead milling with a dispersing agent and including a suspending agent to stop the solid settling.
Compositions to be used as sprays may be in the form of aerosols wherein the formulation is held in a container under pressure in the presence of a propellant, e.g. fluorotrichloromethane or dichlorodifluoromethane. ■■» 235 075 The invention compounds can be mixed in the dry state with a pyrotechnic mixture to form a composition suitable for generating in enclosed spaces a smoke containing the compounds.
Alternatively, the compounds may be used in microencapsulated form. They may also be formulated in biodegradable polymeric formulations to obtain a slow, controlled release of the active substance.
By including suitable additives, for example additives for improving the distribution, adhesive power and resistance to rain on treated surfaces, the different compositions can be better adapted for various utilities.
The invention compounds can be used as mixtures with fertilisers (e.g. nitrogen-, potassium-, or phosphorus-containing fertilisers). Compositions comprising only granules of fertiliser incorporating, for example coated with, the compound are preferred. Such granules suitably contain up to 25% by weight of the compound. The invention therefore also provides a fertiliser composition comprising a fertiliser and the compound of general formula (I) or a salt or metal complex thereof.
Wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and suspension concentrates will normally contain surfactants e.g. wetting agent, dispersing agent, emulsifying agent or suspending agent. These agents can be cationic, anionic or non-ionic agents.
Suitable cationic agents are quaternary ammonium compounds, for example, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. Suitable anionic agents are soaps, salts of aliphatic monoesters of sulphuric acid (for example sodium lauryl sulphate), and salts of sulphonated aromatic compounds (for example sodium dodecylbenzenesulphonate, sodium, calcium or ammonium lignosulphonate, butylnaphthalene sulphonate, and a mixture of sodium diisopropyl- and triisopropyl-naphthalene sulphonates). 235 07 Suitable non-ionic agents are the condensation products of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohols such as oleyl or cetyl alcohol, or with alkyl phenols such as octyl- or nonyl-phenol and octylcresol. Other non-ionic agents are the partial esters derived from long chain fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, the condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide, and the lecithins. Suitable suspending agents are hydrophilic colloids (for example polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium carboxymethylcellulose), and swelling clays such as bentonite or attapulgite.
Compositions for use as -aqueous dispersions or emulsions are generally supplied in the form of a concentrate containing a high proportion of the active ingredient, the concentrate being diluted with water before use. These concentrates should preferably be able to withstand storage for prolonged periods and after such storage be capable of dilution with water in order to form aqueous preperations which remain homogeneous for a sufficient time to enable them to be applied by conventional spray equipment. The concentrates may conveniently contain up to 95% suitably 10-85%, for example 25-60%, by weight of the active ingredient. After dilution to form aqueous preparations, suitable preparations may contain varying amounts of the active ingredient depending upon the intended purpose, but an aqueous preparation containing 0.00055 or 0.01% to 10% by weight of active ingredient may be used.
The compositions of this invention may contain other compounds having biological activity, e.g. compounds having similar or complementary fungicidal activity or which plant possess plant growth regulating, herbicidal or insecticidal activity. 235075 A fungicidal compound which may be present in the composition of the invention may be one which is capable of combating ear disease of cereals (e.g. wheat) such as Septoria, Gibberella and Helminthosporium spp., seed and soil-borne diseases and downy and powdery mildews on grapes and powdery mildew and scab on apple, etc. By including another fungicide, the composition can have a broader spectrum of activity than the compound of general formula (I) alone.
