Abstract

Synergistic mixtures are described comprising at least one compound belonging to each of the following groups: A. phosphorous acid and/or one or more salts of phosphorous acid, also called phosphites or phosphonates (defined as FOS) and B. synergizing compounds (defined as SIN) and synergistic compositions comprising at least a further component having a fungicidal activity and their use for the control of phytopathogen fungi.

Description

SYNERGISTIC MIXTURES AND/OR COMPOSITIONS WITH A HIGH FUNGICIDAL ACTIVITY
The present invention relates to synergistic mix- tures and/or compositions with a high fungicidal activity.
As resistance phenomena can arise in nature as a result of prolonged treatment with systemic fungicides, it is always important and necessary to find synergies ori- ented towards anti-resistance strategies.
The Applicant has already previously found that mixtures based on at least one copper (II) salt of phosphorous acid and one or more salts of phosphorous acid obtained from metals other than copper, have a synergistic effect not only with each other, but also with products having a direct fungicidal activity, as already claimed in Italian patent application MI2005A1019. In particular, a patent object already relates to compounds of inorganic copper, known in the art and already commercialized, and/or organic molecules such as IR5885 (dipeptide com- pound corresponding to diastereoisomeric mixtures of methyl [S- (R, S) ] - [3- (N-isopropoxycarbonylvalinyl) -amino] - 3- (4-chlorophenyl) -propanoate) and IR6141 (corresponding to methyl N- (phenylacetyl) -N-2 , 6-xylyl-R-alaninate, de- scribed respectively in patent applications MI98A002583 and WO98/26654 A2 , which exert an effective synergistic action with cupric salts of phosphorous acid and/or mixtures of its salts, as claimed in Italian patent application MI2005A1019. The Applicant has now surprisingly found that certain products which have a zero or low direct fungicidal activity, when mixed with phosphorous acid and/or one or more salts of phosphorous acid, also called phosphites or phosphonates, are capable of unexpectedly amplifying their phytoiatric activity.
The Applicant has consequently found synergistic mixtures between products having a zero or low direct fungicidal activity and phosphorous acid and/or one or more salts of phosphorous acid, which efficiently and safely enhance the biological activity.
An object of the present invention therefore relates to synergistic mixtures comprising at least one compound belonging to each of the following groups:
A. phosphorous acid and/or one or more salts of phosphorous acid, also called phosphites or phos- phonates (defined as FOS) and B. synergizing compounds (defined as SIN) . In particular, the compounds of the FOS group are selected from phosphorous acid and/or its salts such as for example, the salt of an alkaline, alkaline earth metal, an ammonium salt or a salt of Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Al, Ti, Se.
The compounds of the SIN group are preferably selected from products having a zero or low direct fungi- cidal activity, and can therefore also belong to different chemical groups, but having intrinsic photocatalytic properties .
More specifically, the compounds of the SIN group are selected from one of the following groups a and b: a: titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or zinc salts, such as for example, zinc sulfate, zinc nitrate, zinc chloride, zinc titanate, zirconium dioxide, silica, silicic acid; b: pigments and dyes, such as for example, Prussian blue, Bengal pink, phthalocyanines, metal porphyrins, natural or synthesis optical bluing agents.
SIN compounds, group b, defined as phthalocyanines refer to compounds such as, for example, copper phthalo- cyanine, zinc phthalocyanine, iron phthalocyanine ; SIN compounds, group b, defined as metal porphyrins refer to compounds such as, for example, chlorophyll and chloro- phylline; SIN compounds, group b, defined as natural or synthesis optical bluing agents refer to compounds such as for example, esculetin, esculin, umbelliferone and stilbene derivatives. The compounds defined as SIN are preferably applied, when solid, in micronized form with a particle-size of less than a micron and even more preferably in the form of nanoparticles or in colloidal form.
Within the spirit of this invention, the mixtures comprising more than one salt of phosphorous acid can be obtained either by mixing the single salts, or by co- precipitation of said salts in a reaction mixture; in both cases, in the above mixture, the metallic salts of phosphorous acid can be present in any proportion, solva- tion state, structure and composition of the crystalline lattice.
The salts of an alkaline, alkaline-earth metal, ammonium salt or salts of Fe, Mn, Zn, Ni, Al, Ti or Se, of phosphorous acid can be mono- or dibasic, or they can be mixtures of these in any proportion.
The fungicidal mixtures according to the present invention can also contain salts of alkaline metals in percentages not higher than 10% by weight, as reaction exchange salts which however do not have a direct fungi- cidal activity. An object of the present invention also relates to the use of synergistic mixtures comprising at least one compound belonging to each of the following groups:
A. phosphorous acid and/or one or more salts of phos- phorous acid, also called phosphites or phospho- nates (defined as FOS) and
B. synergizing compounds (defined as SIN) as fungicidal mixtures for the control of phytopathogen fungi in agricultural crops, capable of enhancing the biological activity of the FOS compounds.
Examples of FOS compounds and SIN compounds, belonging to the subgroups a and b have already been mentioned. In particular, the synergizing compounds SIN, when applied in a mixture with phosphorous acid and/or one or more of its salts, according to the present invention, are capable of producing a synergistic effect responsible for a surprising amplification of the biocide activity with respect to phytopathogen agents, much higher than the expected activity, as calculated by means of the Lim- pel formula.
The Applicant has also found that compositions of the synergistic mixtures according to the present invention, i.e. comprising at least one compound belonging to the FOS group and at least one compound belonging to the SIN group, with at least another fungicidal component, surprisingly have an additional synergistic activity. This allows the quantity of organic fungicidal product to be reduced, thus helping to minimize the environmental impact and treatment cost and improve the anti-resistance strategy.

SIN compounds are commercial products; FOS compounds can be synthesized by means of the methods known in literature or according to the procedures described in Italian patent application MI2005A1019. An object of the present invention also relates to a method for controlling phytopathogen fungi in agricultural crops by the application of the synergistic mixtures comprising at least one compound belonging to each of the following groups: A. phosphorous acid and/or one or more salts of phosphorous acid, also called phosphites or phosphonates (defined as FOS) and B. synergizing compounds (defined as SIN) or by the application of synergistic compositions com- prising said mixtures and one or more fungicidal compounds (1) - (33) .
The mixtures and/or synergistic compositions according to the present invention allow numerous fungal and bacterial phytopathogens and viruses to be controlled. More specifically, the compositions or mixtures according to the present invention have a particularly high fungicidal activity against phytopathogen fungi which attack crops of vines, tobacco, sugar beet, cereals, vegetables, rice, cucurbits, fruit trees. Examples of phytopathogen fungi which can be effectively fought with this technology are: Erysiphe spp. on cereals; Puccinia spp. on cereals,- Plasmopara viticola on vines; - Pythium spp. on vegetables;
Phytophthora spp. on vegetables; Peronospora tabacina on tabacco; Septoria spp. on cereals;
Sphaerotheca fuliginea on cucurbits (for example cu- cumbers) ; Pseudoperonospora cubensis on cucurbits,- Pyricularia oryzae on rice; Uncinula necator on vines; Venturia spp. on fruit trees; - Botrytis cinerea on vines and vegetables;
Fusarium spp. on cereals;
- Alternaria spp. on fruit trees and vegetables; Bremia on salads and spinach.
These compositions or mixtures according to the pre- sent invention are capable of exerting a fungicidal action for both treatment and prevention.
In order to obtain the desired effect, the applicative quantity of each compound selected from those defined as FOS and SIN, and optionally one or more further fungi- cidal compounds (I)- (33), can vary in relation to various factors such as, for example, the compounds used, the crop to be preserved, the type of pathogen, the degree of infection, the climatic conditions, the application method and the formulation adopted. For the compounds defined as FOS and SIN, as also for any possible further fungicides (I)- (33), doses ranging from 0.5 g to 5 kg per hectare generally provide a sufficient control.
The reciprocal percentage ratio between the com- pounds defined as FOS and SIN can therefore vary from 0 . 0001 % to 99 . 9999 % .
The application of these compositions or mixtures can be effected on all parts of the plant, for example on the leaves, stems, branches and roots, or on the seeds themselves before sowing, or on the ground in which the plant grows .
For practical use in agriculture, the mixtures or compositions can be suitably formulated in the form of dry powders, wettable powders, emulsifying concentrates, micro-emulsions, pastes, granulates, solutions, suspensions, etc.: the choice of the type of formulation will depend on the specific use.
The formulations are prepared in the known way, for example by diluting or dissolving the active substance (s) with a solvent medium and/or a solid diluent, possibly in the presence of surface-active agents.
Solid diluents or supports which can be used are, for example: silica, kaolin, bentonite, talc, infusorial earth, dolomite, calcium carbonate, magnesia, gypsum, clays, synthetic silicates, attapulgite, sepiolite.
Liquid diluents which can be used, are for example: water, aromatic or paraffinic organic solvents, alcohols, esters, ketones, amides.
Sodium salts, potassium salts, calcium salts, tri- ethanolamine salts of: alkylnaphthalenesulphonates, con- densed alkylnaphthalenesulphonates, phenylsulphonates, polycarboxylates, alkylsulphosuccinates , sulphosucci- nates, alkylsulphates, ligninsulphates, polyethoxylated fatty alcohols, alkylarylsulphonates, polyethoxylated al- kylphenols, polyethoxylated esters of sorbitol, polypro- poxy polyethoxylates (block polymers) , can be used as surface-active agents.
Special additives for particular purposes can also be added to the formulations of the mixtures or composi- tions, object of the present invention, such as for example, antifreeze agents such as propylene glycol, or adhesive agents, such as gum Arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, etc.
If necessary, it is possible to add other compatible active principles to the compositions or mixtures cited above such as, for example other fungicides, phytoregula- tors, antibiotics, herbicides, insecticides and fertilizers .
The concentration of active principle (s) in the above compositions and mixtures can vary within a wide range in relation to the active compound, the applications for which they are destined, the environmental conditions and the type of formulation adopted.
The concentration of active principle (s) generally ranges from 1% to 90%, preferably from 5 to 50%. The following examples of the application method according to the present invention are provided for illustrative and non-limiting purposes of the present invention. Example 1
Efficacy of the mixtures of one or more compounds belonging to the FOS and SIN groups of compounds in the control of Plasmopara viticola on vines in preventive leaf application (greenhouse test) (Table 1-Table 3) and of the compositions of said mixtures with a further fungicidal component (Table 4) .
Leaves of cultivar Merlot vines, grown in vases, in
a conditioned environment (20±l°C, 70% relative humidity) are treated by spraying both sides of the leaves with the mixtures under examination dispersed in an aqueous solution containing a 0.3% of tween 20.
After remaining 7 days in a conditioned environment, the plants are infected on the lower side with an aqueous suspension of spores of Plasmopara viticola (200,000 spores per cm3) .
The plants are kept in a humidity saturated environment, at 210C, for the incubation period of the fungus and, at the end of this period (7 days) , the fungicidal activity is evaluated according to an evaluation percent- age scale from 100 (healthy plant) to 0 (completely in- fected plant) .
From the data indicated in tables 1, it is possible to verify the synergistic effect of the mixtures, consisting of the mixtures being examined, compared with the expected efficacy using the Limpel formula ("Pesticide Science" (1987), vol. 19, pages 309-315): E = x + y-(xy /100) wherein:
E is the fungicidal activity expected, in the ab- sence of synergistic effects, from a mixture obtained by mixing g.x of compound X with g.y of compound Y; x is the activity of compound X when used alone with a dosage of g.x; y is the activity of compound Y when used alone with a dosage of g. y.
When the fungicidal activity found experimentally is greater than the value of E, this activity is considered a synergistic effect. Table 1 7 -day preventive activity on Plasmopara viticola of mixtures of titanium dioxide**, which at 250 ppm (g.x) is 13 (x) .
