Definitions
- the present invention relates to an agrochemical composition, in particular to a nematicidal composition.
- the present invention also relate to a method for preparing the said agrochemical composition and to its use in controlling nematodes.
- Nematodes are microscopic round worms. They can generally be described as aquatic, triploblastic, unsegmented, bilaterally symmetrical roundworms, which are colourless, transparent, usually bisexual, and worm-shaped (vermiform), although some can become swollen (pyroform). It has been suggested that nematodes are the most abundant form of animal life and that to date only about 3% of nematode species have been studied in detail.
- Plant parasitic nematodes typically feed on the roots or shoots of plants.
- the nematodes can be ectoparasites, that is feeding on the exterior of a host plant, or endoparasites, that is living/feeding inside the host plant.
- Parasitic nematodes can be migratory or sedentary. They constitute severe plant production constraints in many agronomic and horticultural crops. Severe infestations of endoparasitic nematodes, such as certain root-knot or cyst nematodes, can result in yield losses of from 10% to 50%. Worldwide crop losses due to plant parasitic nematodes have been estimated at $80 billion annually.
- Some of the most commercially significant plant parasitic nematodes are: Meloidogyne; Root-knot nematode Pratylenchus; Lesion nematode Heterodera; Cyst nematode Globodera; Cyst nematode
- Tylenchulus Citrus nematode Xiphinema; Dagger nematode
- Nematodes are a serious pest and methods to control their parasitic activities are an important feature in maximising crop production in modern intensive agriculture.
- Current pest management options for controlling nematodes are very limited.
- Soil fumigants and effective non-fumigant nematicides, especially carbamate and organophosphate compounds, are increasingly under regulatory pressure because of potential undesirable effects on users, consumers, and the environment.
- Other effective methods to reduce plant-parasitic nematode populations such as exposing infested soil to heat by steam treatment, are technically difficult and too costly for general or widespread application in the field.
- Certain seed treatments for example using abamectin as a nematicide, have been shown to effectively protect roots of young seedlings against various plant pests, including plant-parasitic nematodes.
- Non-protected root systems show stunting, and in the case of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) show more severe galling, in comparison to abamectin-protected plants.
- These below-ground differences are reflected in significant height and dry weight differences of the shoots.
- seed treatment protection against nematode invasion often lasts for only a relatively short period of time.
- an improved agrochemical composition can be prepared from a combination of iprodione and at least one macrolide compound.
- the present invention provides an agrochemical composition
- iprodione and at least one macrolide compound selected from compounds of the general formula (I):

- Ri2 is an alkyl, alkenyl or phenyl group
- R 13 is OH
- the combination of iprodione and at least one macrolide compound selected from the compounds of general formulae (I) and (II) provide a synergistic effect and improved control of nematodes and other plant pests and pathogens.
- the combination exhibits surprisingly high activity in controlling nematodes in crops, such as tomato, pepper, cucumber, melons, coffee and soybeans.
- synergistic as used herein is not to be understood in this connection as being restricted to the pesticidal activity of the combination, but also refers to other advantageous properties, compared with iprodione and the macrolide compounds applied individually.
- advantageous properties which may be mentioned are: extension of the pesticidal spectrum of action to other pests, for example to resistant strains; reduction in the application rate of the macrolide compound, or control of the target pests with the aid of the compositions according to the invention at an application rate of iprodione and the macrolide compound alone that is ineffective; enhanced crop safety; improved quality of produce, such as higher content of nutrient or oil, better fiber quality, enhanced shelf life, reduced content of toxic products, for example such as mycotoxins, reduced content of residues or unfavorable constituents of any kind or better digestability; improved tolerance to unfavorable temperatures, draughts or salt content of water; enhanced assimilation rates, such as nutrient uptake, water uptake and photosynthesis; favorable
