See, e.g., U. S. Patents Nos . 3,957,847; 3,379,610; and 5,571,443, respectively.
The method and composition of this invention are particularly suitable for use against Phytophthora infestans on or in potato plants and tubers.
The composition of this invention and the compounds useful in the method of this invention can be formulated in conventional ways. Examples of useful formulations include slurries, solid seed coatings, soaks, dusts on the surface of the seed or tuber, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, and the like. The formulations, in general, comprise about 1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient.

This invention further preferably relates to a fungicidal composition comprising cymoxanil, mancozeb and thiophanate-methyl, in an effective aggregate amount.
Cymoxanil, mancozeb and thiophanate-methyl are all known compounds.
Cymoxanil (a foliar fungicide sold under the trademarks CURZATE and DPX-3217) is 2-cyano-N-
[ (ethylamino) carbonyl] -2- (methoxyimino) -acetamide.
Mancozeb (a fungicide sold under the trademarks MANZATE-200 and DITHANE M-45) is a mixture of [[1,2- ethanediylbis- (carba odithioato) ] (2- )] manganese and [ [1, 2-ethanediylbis (carbamothioato) ] (2) -] zinc .
Thiophanate-methyl (a systemic fungicide sold under the trademarks TOPSIN M and NF-44) is dimethyl [1, 2- phenylene-bis- (iminocarbono-thioyl) -bis- [carbamate] .

In the method of this invention wherein cymoxanil, mancozeb and thiophanate-methyl are admixed, in general, satisfactory results can be obtained when the weight ratio of cymoxanil :mancozeb : thiophanate-methyl is from about 3:1:1 to about 1:16:6, preferably, about 1.5:1:1 to about 1:8:3.
Similarly, in the composition of this invention, in general, satisfactory results can be obtained when the weight ratio of cymoxanil :mancozeb : thiophanate-methyl is from about 3:1:1 to about 1:16:6, preferably, about
1.5:1:1 to about 1:8:3.
The formulations can comprise from 0 to about 20% of an agriculturally acceptable surfactant such as wetting and dispersing agents, e.g., the condensation product of formaldehyde with naphthalene sulphonate, an alkylarylsulphonate , a lignin sulphonate, a fatty sulphate, an ethoxylated alkylphenol and an ethoxylated fatty alcohol . The formulations can additionally comprise from about 10 to about 99% of an agriculturally acceptable solid or liquid diluent, including carriers, such as talc, zeolites, Alder bark, kaolin, diatomaceous earth, mineral oil, water, and the like.
The following examples are provided to illustrate the present invention.
EXAMPLES
Example 1
(A) A potato dust inert system (PDIS) was prepared by blending the following three inert diluents in a ribbon blender: talc (Cyprus BT-200) (48.39% w/w) , zeolite (16.12% w/w), and Alder bark (35.49% w/w).
The dusts listed in Table 1 below were prepared by blending PDIS and the compounds at the concentrations indicated in a ribbon blender and were evaluated for activity against P . infestans at the rate of application of active ingredient indicated. TABLE 1

Propyl [3- (dimethylamino) propyl) carbamate
(B) The in-vi tro screening procedure was conducted as follows:
Potato tubers were removed from 5°C storage and allowed to come to room temperature. The tubers were then washed with tap water and sterilized in 5% commercial bleach (Clorox) for 10 minutes. The tubers were then rinsed in sterile distilled water and dried.
Phytophthora infestans was grown on agar plates at
18°C for 10-14 days. 20 ml. of 5°C sterile distilled water were then added to each plate. The agar was then agitated or cut into smaller sections and placed at 10-12 °C for 2 hours to release zoospores .
Tubers were cut into uniform sized slices (1 cm thick) . Each dust was applied to 20 slices at 0.5 lb/cwt . Two sets of 20 potato slices were left untreated with dust and used as controls. Each dusted potato slice was then placed on sterile moistened filter paper in a sterile petri dish.
A zoospore suspension was quantified to a concentration of 20,000 spores/ml. 100 ml of this spore suspension was then applied to a sterile filter paper disk. One such treated disk was placed in the center of each potato slice. One set of 20 undusted potato slices were not inoculated and used as a sterile control .
Each potato slice was then placed in the dark at 18°C for 7 days. After the 7 days, the disease state of each potato slice was assessed.
In Table 2 below, growth and sporulation of P. infestans for each potato slice was rated on a plus (+) or minus (-) scale. A minus indicates no growth of the P . infestans whereas a plus indicates growth. Growth was measured as minimal (+) , good (++) , or good and sporulation (+++) .

Example 2
(A) Dusts were prepared as described in Example 1 above . (B) The in-vivo screening procedure was conducted as follows :
Potato tubers were removed from 5°C storage and allowed to come to room temperature. The tubers were then washed with tap water and sterilized in 5% commercial bleach (Clorox) for 10 minutes. The tubers were then rinsed in sterile distilled water and dried.
Phytophthora infestans was grown on agar plates at
18°C for 10-14 days. 20 ml. of 5°C sterile distilled water were then added to each plate. The agar was then agitated or cut into smaller sections and placed at 10- 12 °C for 2 hours to release zoospores. A zoospore suspension was quantified to a concentration of 20,000 spores/ml .
Small punctures were made in the tubers with a sterile needle and the punctured tubers were then dipped into the suspension of P. infestans zoospores. The tubers were then incubated at 15°C with 95% relative humidity for 7-10 days. After the incubation the tubers were then cut into 2-4 oz . pieces. Each dust was applied to 15 pieces at 0.5 lb/cwt or according to manufacturer's directions. One set of 15 pieces was left untreated and used as a control .
Potatoes not dipped in the zoospores were also cut into 2-4 oz . pieces and one set of 15 uninoculated potato pieces was used as a sterile control .
The potato pieces were then placed in sandy soil and incubated at 17°C days and 13 °C nights for 32 days. Growth after emergence was monitored for 14-28 days. Disease symptoms were visually rated. Stem/leaf tissue was assayed for P . infestans on appropriate media.
Finally, potato seed pieces were then removed and cut in half and disease presence was visually assessed.

Example 6
Shepody potato tubers were contaminated/inoculated with Phytophthora infestans and set aside ("source tubers") . After two weeks, one (1) source tuber was cut into quarters through the diseased area with a cutting knife. Without cleaning or changing the knife, five (5) uninoculated Shepody potato tubers were then cut into quarters. This process (1 source tuber/5 uninfected tubers) was repeated to provide enough tubers for 30 replications per treatment (Table 10 below) .
The cut tubers (source and uninoculated) were weighed and the appropriate amount of each dust listed in Table 10 below was applied to the tubers by placing the tubers in a double paper bag with dust and then shaking the bag.
The treated tubers were then placed in an unsealed plastic bag (one bag per treatment) and incubated at 10°C, 80-90% RH, for two (2) weeks. After two (2) weeks, the bagged tubers were removed from the 10°C, 80-90% RH environment. The bags were then rolled or shaken to simulate movement from storage to planting areas. The tubers were removed and the spread of P . infestans was determined - % infected tubers . The tubers were warmed to room temperature and planted. The source tubers were not planted. Emergence and infection data were obtained as described above in Example 2 (30 replications/treatment) .
The results of this test are listed below in Table 10.
