Description

Synergistic compositions

The present invention relates to novel compositions which consist of a known phthalamide on the one hand and known fungicidal active compounds on the other hand and are very suitable for controlling unwanted animal pests such as insects or unwanted phytopathogenic fungi.

It is already known that phthalamides of the formula (I) have insecticidal activity. This applies to the racemic form of the compounds (see, for example, EP-A 1 006 107) and, to an even greater degree, to the (S) -configured enantiomers (Japanese Published Patent Application JP 2006-0894969).

New compositions with very good fungicidal properties have now been found, containing a phthalamide of the formula (I)

in which

Hal is chlorine, bromine or iodine,

* denotes a carbon atom in the R or S configuration, preferably in the S configuration,

and 3,4-dichloro-N- (2-cyanophenyl) isothiazole-5-carboxamide of the formula (H), known from EP-A 1 260 140.

(H)

Surprisingly, the fungizdde effect of the compositions of the invention is substantially higher than the sum of the effects of the individual active ingredients. So there is an unpredictable, true synergistic effect and not just an effect supplement.

Surprisingly, the insecticidal activity of the compositions according to the invention is also substantially higher than the sum of the effects of the individual active ingredients. So there is an unpredictable, true synergistic effect and not just an effect supplement.

The formula (T) comprises the following preferred mixing partners:

(Ic): (S) -3-bromo-N ¹ - {2-methyl-4- [l, 2 _J 2,2-tetrafluoro-l-

(trifluoromethyl) ethyl] phenyl} -N ² - (1-methyl-2-methylsulfonylethyl) phthalamide

The compositions according to the invention contain, in addition to compound (H), at least one active compound of the formula (I). In addition, they may also contain other fungicidally effective admixed components.

Preferred compositions according to the invention include

(Ia) and compound (II) or (Ib) and compound (IT) or (Ic) and compound (IT). Particularly preferred are compositions comprising compounds (Tb) and (H).

If the active ingredients are present in the compositions according to the invention in certain weight ratios, the synergistic effect is particularly pronounced. However, the weight ratios of the active ingredients in the compositions can be varied within a relatively wide range. In general, the combinations according to the invention contain active compounds of the formula (I) and compound (H) in the mixing ratios exemplified in the table below.

The mixing ratios are based on weight ratios. The ratio is to be understood as the active ingredient of the formula (I): Compound (JI).

In any case, the mixing ratio should be such that a synergistic mixture is obtained.

The inventive compositions have a strong microbicidal action and can be used for controlling unwanted microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria, in crop protection and in the protection of materials.

Fungicides can be used for the control of Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes, Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes.

The compositions of the invention also have a strong tonic effect in plants. They are therefore suitable for mobilizing plant-own defenses against attack by unwanted microorganisms.

In the present context, plant-enhancing (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning those substances which are capable of stimulating the defense system of plants in such a way that the treated plants exhibit extensive resistance to these microorganisms with subsequent inoculation with undesired microorganisms.

Undesirable microorganisms in the present case are phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Thus, the compositions according to the invention can be used to protect plants against attack by said pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period within which protection is provided generally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days after the treatment of the plants with the active ingredients.

The good plant tolerance of the compositions in the concentrations necessary for control of plant diseases permits treatment of whole plants (above-ground parts of plants and roots), of planting and seed, and of the soil. The compositions according to the invention can be used for foliar application or else as a mordant.

The good plant tolerance of the usable active ingredients in the necessary concentrations for controlling plant diseases allows treatment of the seed. The active compounds according to the invention can thus be used as mordants.

Much of the damage to crop plants caused by phytopathogenic fungi is already produced by infestation of the seed during storage and after introduction of the seed into the soil and during and immediately after germination of the plants. This phase is particularly critical, as the roots and shoots of the growing plant are particularly sensitive and even minor damage can lead to the death of the entire plant. There is therefore a particular interest in protecting the seed and the germinating plant by the use of suitable agents. The control of phytopathogenic fungi, which damage plants after emergence, takes place primarily through the treatment of the soil and the obeπrdischen plant parts with pesticides. Due to concerns about the potential impact of crop protection products on the environment and human and animal health, efforts are being made to reduce the amount of active ingredients applied.

The control of phytopathogenic fungi by the treatment of the seed of plants has long been known and is the subject of constant improvement. Nevertheless, there are a number of problems in the treatment of seeds that can not always be satisfactorily resolved. Thus, it is desirable to develop methods for protecting the seed and the germinating plant which make the additional spread of crop protection products after sowing or after emergence of the plants superfluous or at least markedly reduced. It is also desirable to optimize the amount of the active ingredient used in such a way that the seed and the germinating plant is best protected against attack by phytopathogenic fungi, but without damaging the plant itself by the active ingredient used. In particular, methods for treating seed should also include the intrinsic fungicidal properties of transgenic plants in order to achieve optimum protection of the seed and the germinating plant with a minimum of pesticide use.

The present invention therefore more particularly relates to a method of protecting seeds and germinating plants from the infestation of phytopathogenic fungi by treating the seed with an agent according to the invention.

The invention also relates to the use of the seed treatment agents of the invention for protecting the seed and the germinating plant from phytopathogenic fungi.

Furthermore, the invention relates to seed which has been treated with an agent according to the invention for protection against phytopathogenic fungi.

One of the advantages of the present invention is that because of the particular systemic properties of the compositions of the invention, treatment of the seed with these agents not only protects the seed itself, but also the resulting plants after emergence from phytopathogenic fungi. In this way, the immediate treatment of the culture at the time of sowing or shortly afterwards can be omitted. Likewise, it is to be regarded as advantageous that the mixtures according to the invention can also be used in particular in the case of transgenic seed.

The compositions according to the invention are suitable for the protection of seeds of any plant variety used in agriculture, in the greenhouse, in forests or in horticulture. In particular, these are seeds of cereals (such as wheat, barley, rye, millet and oats), corn, cotton, soy, rice, potatoes, sunflower, bean, coffee, oilseed rape, canola, turnip (eg sugar beet and fodder beet), Peanut, vegetables (such as tomato, cucumber, onions and lettuce), lawn and ornamental plants. Of particular importance is the treatment of the seeds of cereals (such as wheat, barley, rye and oats), rice, canola and canola.

In the context of the present invention, the agent according to the invention is applied to the seed alone or in a suitable formulation. Preferably, the seed is treated in a condition that is so stable that no damage occurs during the treatment. In general, the treatment of the seed can be done at any time between harvesting and sowing. Usually, seed is used which has been separated from the plant and freed from flasks, shells, stems, hull, wool or pulp. For example, seed may be used which has been harvested, cleaned and dried to a moisture content below 15% by weight. Alternatively, seed may also be used which, after drying, e.g. treated with water and then dried again.

In general, care must be taken in the treatment of the seed that the amount of the agent and / or other additives applied to the seed is chosen so that germination of the seed is not impaired or the resulting plant is not damaged. This is especially important for active ingredients, which can show phytotoxic effects at certain application rates.

The agents according to the invention can be applied directly, ie without containing further components and without being diluted. In general, it is preferable to apply the agents to the seed in the form of a suitable formulation. Suitable formulations and methods for seed treatment are known to those skilled in the art and are described e.g. in the following documents: US 4,272,417 A, US 4,245,432 A, US 4,808,430 A, US 5,876,739 A, US 2003/0176428 A1, WO 2002/080675 A1, WO 2002/028186 A2.

The inventive compositions are also suitable for increasing crop yield. They are also low toxicity and have good plant tolerance. The compositions according to the invention may optionally also be used in certain concentrations and application rates as herbicides, for influencing plant growth, and for controlling animal pests. If appropriate, they can also be used as intermediates and precursors for the synthesis of other active ingredients.

The treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the compositions is carried out directly or by acting on their environment, habitat or storage space according to the usual treatment methods, e.g. by dipping, spraying, vaporizing, atomizing, spreading, spreading and in propagation material, in particular in seeds, further by single or multi-layer wrapping.

When using the compositions according to the invention as fungicides, the application rates can be varied within a relatively wide range, depending on the mode of application. In the treatment of parts of plants, the application rates of active ingredient are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g / ha, preferably between 10 and 1,000 g / ha. In the case of seed treatment, the application rates of active ingredient are generally between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably between 0.01 and 10 g per kilogram of seed. In the treatment of the soil, the application rates of active ingredient are generally between 0.1 and 10,000 g / ha, preferably between 1 and 5,000 g / ha.

The plants listed can be treated particularly advantageously according to the invention with the Wirkstoffrnischungen. The preferred ranges given above for the active compounds or mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particularly emphasized is the plant treatment with the compounds or mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.

The active ingredient mixtures according to the invention are very useful in crops such. As cereals, corn, rice, vines, stone and pome fruit, citrus, vegetables, potatoes, ornamental plants, raw material-producing crops such. Cotton, sugar beet and cane, canola, canola, legumes, sunflowers, bananas, coffee, peanuts and turf.

In the protection of materials, the compositions according to the invention can be used for the protection of industrial materials against infestation and destruction by undesired microorganisms.

According to the invention, all plants and parts of plants can be treated. In this context, plants are understood as meaning all plants and plant populations, such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which can or can not be protected by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all aboveground and underground parts and organs of the plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, by way of example, leaves, needles, stems, stems, flowers, fruiting bodies, fruits and seeds and roots, tubers and rhizomes , The plant parts also include crops as well as vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhiomes, offshoots and seeds.

As already mentioned above, according to the invention all plants and their parts can be treated. In a preferred embodiment, wild-type or plant species obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and plant cultivars and their parts are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineering, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The term "parts" or "parts of plants" or "plant parts" has been explained above.

According to the invention, plants of the respective commercially available or used plant cultivars are particularly preferably treated.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also give rise to superadditive ("synergistic") effects. wall quantities and / or extensions of the spectrum of action and / or an increase in the effect of the compositions and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, more developed root system, higher resistance of the plant species, increased growth of the shoots, higher plant vitality, increased tolerance to high or low Temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering efficiency, easier harvest, acceleration of ripeness, higher crop yields, larger fruits, higher plant size, greener leaf color, earlier flowering, higher quality and / or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher Sugar concentration in the fruits, higher shelf life and / or workability of the harvested products possible, which go beyond the expected effects actually.

The preferred plants or plant cultivars to be treated according to the invention include all plants which have obtained genetic material by the genetic engineering modification which gives these plants particularly advantageous valuable properties ("traits") Examples of such properties are better plant growth. increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or to bottoms, increased flowering efficiency, easier harvesting, acceleration of ripeness, higher crop yields, higher quality and / or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher shelf life and / or machinability Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are an increased defense of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and / or viruses as well as an increased tolerance of the plants against certain herbicidal active substances. Examples of transgenic plants include the important crops such as cereals (wheat, rice), corn, soy, potato, cotton, rapeseed and fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), with corn, soy, potato, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits which are particularly emphasized are the increased defense of the plants against insects by toxins which are formed in the plants, in particular those which are produced by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryΙA (a), CryIA (b), CryIA (c), CryHΑ, CrylllA, CryIHB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CrylF and combinations thereof) are produced in the plants (hereinafter, 3t plants "). Traits which are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulfonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example "PAT" gene). The genes conferring the desired properties ("traits") may also be present in combinations with one another in the transgenic plants Examples of "JBt plants" include maize varieties, cotton varieties, soybean varieties and potato varieties sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (eg maize , Cotton, soy), KnockOut® (eg corn), StarLink® (eg corn), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato).

Herbicide-resistant (conventionally grown on herbicide tolerance) plants are also the varieties marketed under the name Clearfield® (eg corn) mentioned. Of course, these statements also apply to future or future marketed plant varieties with these or future developed genetic traits.

The listed plants can be treated particularly advantageously according to the invention with the active substance mixtures according to the invention. The preferred ranges given above for the mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particularly emphasized is the plant treatment with the mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.

The good fungicidal and insecticidal activity of the compositions according to the invention is evident from the following example. While the individual active compounds have weaknesses in their action, the compositions according to the invention have an effect which goes beyond a simple activity summation.

A synergistic effect is always present in the case of fungicides and insecticides if the effect of the compositions is greater than the sum of the effects of the individual active ingredients applied.

The expected effect for a given combination of two drugs can be calculated according to S.R. Colby ("Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses of Herbicidal Combinations", Weeds (1985) 5: 20-22) as follows:

If

X the efficiency when using the active ingredient A in one

Application rate of m g / ha means

Y the efficiency when using the drug B in one

Application rate of n g / ha means and

E the efficiency when using the active substances A and B in

Application rates of m and ng / ha means X x Y then E = X + Y

100

The efficiency is determined in%. It means 0% an efficiency equal to that of the untreated control, while an efficiency of 100% means that no infestation is observed.

If the actual effect is greater than calculated, the effect of the combination is over-additive, i. there is a synergistic effect. In this case, the actual observed efficiency must be greater than the value for the expected efficiency (E) calculated from the above formula.

The invention is illustrated by the following examples without, however, being limiting.

Example A

Coriolus versicolor test (in vitro) / microtiter plates

The microtest is performed in microtiter plates with Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) as a liquid test medium. The application of the active ingredients is carried out as a technical a.i., dissolved in acetone. For inoculation, a mycelial suspension of Coriolus versicolor is used. After 4 days of incubation in the dark and with shaking (10 Hz), the light transmittance in each filled well of the microtiter plates is determined by means of a spectrophotometer.

Here, 0% means an efficiency equivalent to the growth in the controls, while an efficiency of 100% means that no fungal growth is observed.

It is clear from the table below that the effect found of the active ingredient combination according to the invention is greater than that calculated, ie that a synergistic effect is present.
