Definitions

  • the present invention relates the use of strobilurin type compounds of formula I and the N-oxides and the salts thereof for combating phytopathogenic fungi containing an amino acid substitution F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein (also referred to as F129L mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene) conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors (Qol), and to methods for combating such fungi.
  • the invention also relates to novel compounds, processes for preparing these compounds, to compositions comprising at least one such compound, to plant health applications, and to seeds coated with at least one such compound.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for controlling soybean rust fungi (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) with the amino acid substitution F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein.
  • Qo inhibitor includes any substance that is capable of diminishing and/or inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bci complex in mitochondria.
  • the oxidation center is typically located on the outer side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane.
  • Many of these compounds are also known as strobilurin-type or strobilurin analogue compounds.
  • the mutation F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b (CYTB) gene shall mean any substitution of nucleotides of codon 129 encoding “F” (phenylalanine; e.g. TTT or TTC) that leads to a codon encoding “L” (leucine; e.g. TTA, TTG, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA or CTG), for example the substitution of the first nucleotide of codon 129 ‘T’ to ‘C’ (TTT to CTT), in the CYTB (cytochrome b) gene resulting in a single amino acid substitution in the position 129 from F to L in the cytochrome b protein.
  • Such F129L mutation is known to confer resistance to Qo inhibitors
  • Qol fungicides often referred to as strobilurin-type fungicides (Sauter 2007: Chapter 13.2. Strobilurins and other complex III inhibitors. In: Kramer, W.; Schirmer, U. (Ed.) - Modern Crop Protection Compounds. Volume 2. Wiley-VCH Verlag 457-495), are conventionally used to control a number of fungal pathogens in crops.
  • Qo inhibitors typically work by inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bci complex (electron transport complex III) in mitochondria. Said oxidation center is located on the outer side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane.
  • a prime example of the use of Qols includes the use of, for example, strobilurins on wheat for the control of Septoria tritici (also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola), which is the cause of wheat leaf blotch.
  • Septoria tritici also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola
  • widespread use of such Qols has resulted in the selection of mutant pathogens which are resistant to such Qols (Gisi et al., Pest Manag Sci 56, 833-841 , (2000)).
  • Resistance to Qols has been detected in several phytopathogenic fungi such as Blumeria graminis, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, Pseudoperonspora cubensis or Venturia inaequalis.
  • soybean rust acquired a different genetic mutation in the cytochrome b gene causing a single amino acid substitution F129L which also confers resistance against Qol fungicides.
  • the efficacy of Qol fungicides used against soybean rust conventionally, i.e. pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, picoxystrobin, orysastrobin, dimoxystrobin and metominostrobin, has decreased to a level with practical problems for agricultural practice (e.g. Klosowski et al (2016) Pest Manag Sci 72, 1211-1215).
  • trifloxystrobin was less affected by the F129L amino acid substitution to the same degree as other Qol fungicides such as azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin was never as efficacious on a fungal population bearing the F129L Qol resistance mutation as on a sensitive population (Crop Protection 27, (2008) 427-435).
  • WO 2017/157923 discloses the use of the tetrazole compound 1-[2-[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)- pyrazol-3-yl]oxymethyl]-3-methylphenyl]-4-methyltetrazol-5-one for combating phytopathogenic fungi containing said F129L amino acid substitution.
  • new methods are desirable for controlling pathogen induced diseases in crops comprising plants subjected to pathogens containing a F129L amino acid substitution in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors.
  • the fungicidal activity of the known fungicidal strobilurin compounds is unsatisfactory, especially in case that a high proportion of the fungal pathogens contain a mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors.
  • new fungicidally active compounds which are more effective, less toxic and/or environmentally safer. Based on this, it was also an object of the present invention to provide compounds having improved activity and/or a broader activity spectrum against phytopathogenic fungi and/or even further reduced toxicity against non target organisms such as vertebrates and invertebrates.
  • the strobilurin-analogue compounds used to combat phytopathogenic fungi containing a F129L amino acid substitution in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors according to the present invention differ from trifloxystrobin inter alia by containing a specific group attached to the central phenyl ring in ortho position to the side chain defined herein as R 3 .

  • the mutation F129L in the cytochrome b (cytb, also referred to as cob) gene shall mean any substitution of nucleotides of codon 129 encoding “F” (phenylalanine; e.g. TTT or TTC) that leads to a codon encoding “L” (leucine; e.g.
  • TTA, TTG, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA or CTG for example the substitution of the first nucleotide of codon 129 ‘T’ to ‘C’ (TTT to CTT), in the cytochrome b gene resulting in a single amino acid substitution in the position 129 from F (phenylalanine) to L (leucine) (F129L) in the cytochrome b protein (Cytb).
  • the mutation F129L in the cytochrome b gene shall be understood to be a single amino acid substitution in the position 129 from F (phenylalanine) to L (leucine) (F129L) in the cytochrome b protein.

Description

Use of strobilurin type compounds for combating phytopathogenic fungi containing an amino acid substitution F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors X
Description
The present invention relates the use of strobilurin type compounds of formula I and the N-oxides and the salts thereof for combating phytopathogenic fungi containing an amino acid substitution F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein (also referred to as F129L mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene) conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors (Qol), and to methods for combating such fungi. The invention also relates to novel compounds, processes for preparing these compounds, to compositions comprising at least one such compound, to plant health applications, and to seeds coated with at least one such compound. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling soybean rust fungi (Phakopsora pachyrhizi) with the amino acid substitution F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein.
"Qo inhibitor," as used herein, includes any substance that is capable of diminishing and/or inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bci complex in mitochondria. The oxidation center is typically located on the outer side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane. Many of these compounds are also known as strobilurin-type or strobilurin analogue compounds.
The mutation F129L in the mitochondrial cytochrome b (CYTB) gene shall mean any substitution of nucleotides of codon 129 encoding “F” (phenylalanine; e.g. TTT or TTC) that leads to a codon encoding “L” (leucine; e.g. TTA, TTG, TTG, CTT, CTC, CTA or CTG), for example the substitution of the first nucleotide of codon 129 ‘T’ to ‘C’ (TTT to CTT), in the CYTB (cytochrome b) gene resulting in a single amino acid substitution in the position 129 from F to L in the cytochrome b protein. Such F129L mutation is known to confer resistance to Qo inhibitors
Qol fungicides, often referred to as strobilurin-type fungicides (Sauter 2007: Chapter 13.2. Strobilurins and other complex III inhibitors. In: Kramer, W.; Schirmer, U. (Ed.) - Modern Crop Protection Compounds. Volume 2. Wiley-VCH Verlag 457-495), are conventionally used to control a number of fungal pathogens in crops. Qo inhibitors typically work by inhibiting respiration by binding to a ubihydroquinone oxidation center of a cytochrome bci complex (electron transport complex III) in mitochondria. Said oxidation center is located on the outer side of the inner mitochrondrial membrane. A prime example of the use of Qols includes the use of, for example, strobilurins on wheat for the control of Septoria tritici (also known as Mycosphaerella graminicola), which is the cause of wheat leaf blotch. Unfortunately, widespread use of such Qols has resulted in the selection of mutant pathogens which are resistant to such Qols (Gisi et al., Pest Manag Sci 56, 833-841 , (2000)). Resistance to Qols has been detected in several phytopathogenic fungi such as Blumeria graminis, Mycosphaerella fijiensis, Pseudoperonspora cubensis or Venturia inaequalis. The major part of resistance to Qols in agricultural uses has been attributed to pathogens containing a single amino acid residue substitution G143A in the cytochrome b gene for their cytochrome bci complex, the target protein of Qols which have been found to be controlled by specific Qols (WO 2013/092224). Despite several commercial Qol fungicides have also been widely used in soybean rust control, the single amino acid residue substitution G143A in the cytochrome b protein conferring resistance to Qol fungicides was not observed.
Instead soybean rust acquired a different genetic mutation in the cytochrome b gene causing a single amino acid substitution F129L which also confers resistance against Qol fungicides. The efficacy of Qol fungicides used against soybean rust conventionally, i.e. pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, picoxystrobin, orysastrobin, dimoxystrobin and metominostrobin, has decreased to a level with practical problems for agricultural practice (e.g. Klosowski et al (2016) Pest Manag Sci 72, 1211-1215).
Although it seems that trifloxystrobin was less affected by the F129L amino acid substitution to the same degree as other Qol fungicides such as azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin was never as efficacious on a fungal population bearing the F129L Qol resistance mutation as on a sensitive population (Crop Protection 27, (2008) 427-435).
WO 2017/157923 discloses the use of the tetrazole compound 1-[2-[[1-(4-chlorophenyl)- pyrazol-3-yl]oxymethyl]-3-methylphenyl]-4-methyltetrazol-5-one for combating phytopathogenic fungi containing said F129L amino acid substitution.
Thus, new methods are desirable for controlling pathogen induced diseases in crops comprising plants subjected to pathogens containing a F129L amino acid substitution in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors. Furthermore, in many cases, in particular at low application rates, the fungicidal activity of the known fungicidal strobilurin compounds is unsatisfactory, especially in case that a high proportion of the fungal pathogens contain a mutation in the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors. Besides there is an ongoing need for new fungicidally active compounds which are more effective, less toxic and/or environmentally safer. Based on this, it was also an object of the present invention to provide compounds having improved activity and/or a broader activity spectrum against phytopathogenic fungi and/or even further reduced toxicity against non target organisms such as vertebrates and invertebrates.
The strobilurin-analogue compounds used to combat phytopathogenic fungi containing a F129L amino acid substitution in the mitochondrial cytochrome b protein conferring resistance to Qo inhibitors according to the present invention differ from trifloxystrobin inter alia by containing a specific group attached to the central phenyl ring in ortho position to the side chain defined herein as R3.
Accordingly, the present invention relates to the use of compounds of formula I

Synthesis
The compounds can be obtained by various routes in analogy to prior art processes known (e.g EP 463488) and, advantageously, by the synthesis shown in the following schemes 1 to 4 and in the experimental part of this application.
A suitable method to prepare compounds I is illustrated in Scheme 1 .
Scheme 1 :
Figure imgf000024_0001
It starts with the conversion of a ketone to the corresponding oxime using hydxroxylamine hydrochloride and a base such as pyridine, sodium hydroxide or sodium acetate in polar solvents such as methanol, methanol-water mixture, or ethanol at reaction temperatures of 60 to 100 °C, preferably at about 65 °C. In cases where a E/Z mixture was obtained, the isomers could be separated by purifycation techniques known in art (e.g. column chromatography, crystallization, distillation etc.). Then, coupling with the intermediate IV, wherein X is a leaving group such as halogen, toluene- and methanesulfonates, preferably X is Cl or Br, is carried out under basic conditions using e.g. sodium hydride, cesium carbonate or potassium carbonate as a base and using an organic solvent such as dimethyl formamide (DMF) or acetonitrile, preferably cesium carbonate as base and acetonitrile as solvent at room temperature (RT) of about 24 °C . The ester compound I wherein R1 is O can be converted to the amide of formula I wherein R1 is NH by reaction with methyl amine (preferably 40% aq. solution) using tetrahydrofuran (THF) as solvent at RT.
Another general method to prepare the compounds I is depicted in Scheme 2.
Figure imgf000025_0001
Intermediate IV is reacted with /V-hydroxysuccimide VI, using a base such as triethylamine in DMF. The reaction temperature is usually 50 to 70 °C preferably about 70 °C. Conversion to the correspondding O-benzyl hydroxyl amine, intermediate VIII, was achieved through removal of the phthalimide group, preferably using hydrazine hydrate in methanol as solvent at 25 °C. Alternatively, removal of the phthalimide group using methyl amine in methanol as solvent at 25 °C can provide intermediate IX. Intermediate VIII and intermediate IX, respectively can be condensed with ketones using acetic acid or pyridine in methanol as solvent at temperature of 50 to 65 °C. Alternatively, the condensation could also carried out with titanium (IV) ethoxide (Ti(OEt)4) using THF as solvent at about 70 °C. The desired product is usually accompanied by an undesired isomer, which can be removed e.g by column chromatography, crystallization.
A general method for preparation of intermediate IV is shown in Scheme 3. Scheme 3:
Figure imgf000025_0002
Compound XI could be obtained from X by lithium-halogen exchange or by generating Grignard reagent and further reaction with dimethyl oxalate or chloromethyl oxalate in presence of a solvent. The preferred solvent is THF, 2-methyl-THF and the temperature can be between -70 to -78 °C. Conversion of intermediate XI to intermediate XII can be achieved using N-methylhydro- xylamine hydrochloride and a base such as pyridine or sodium acetate in polar solvents such as methanol. The reaction temperature is preferably about 65 °C. An EIZ mixture is usually obtained, the isomers can be separated by purification techniques known in art (e.g. column chromatography, crystallization). Bromination of intermediate XII provides the desired intermediate compounds IV, wherein R1 is O and R2 = N. This reaction of intermediate XII with N-bromo- succinimide in solvents such as carbon tetrachloride, chlorobenzene, acetonitrile, using radical initiators such as 1,1'-azobis (cyclohexanecarbonitrile) or azobisisobutyronitrile and is carried out at temperatures of 70 to 100 °C. The preferred radical initiator is 1,1'-azobis (cyclohexanecarbonitrile), preferred solvent chlorobenzene and preferred temperature 80 °C. The synthesis of compounds containing different substituents R3 follows similar sequence as in Scheme 3, wherein R3 is bromo. Coupling of intermediate III with intermediate IV, wherein R3 is bromo, provides compounds I as described above. Using standard chemical reactions, such as Suzuki or Stille reaction, the bromo group can be converted e.g. to other R3 substituents such as cycloalkyl, alkoxy and alkenyl. Additional transformations e.g. of ethenyl provide compounds I with other R3 substituents such as ethyl, CN and haloalkyl.
Most of the ketones of general formula II were commercially available, however for the ones which were not commercially available, preparation of these was carried out in house using methods known in prior art. Scheme 4 depicts various methods known in literature for the syn- thesis of these ketones.
Scheme 4:
Figure imgf000026_0001
The ketone II can be obtained from the corresponding halogen bearing precursors XIV, wherein X is preferably bromine or iodine. Lithium-halogen exchange (J Org Chem, 1998, 63 (21), 7399- 7407) in compound XIII using n-butyllithium or synthesis of the corresponding Grignard reagent (Nature Comm, 2017, 8(1), 1-7) using THF as solvent, and subsequent reaction with N-meth- oxy-N-methylacetamide at about -70 to -78 °C can provide the ketone II. Alternatively, the coupling reaction of compound XIV and tributyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)stannane in presence of a transition metal catalyst, preferably palladium, with suitable ligands in a solvent such as dioxane and at a reaction temperature of about 100 °C, followed by treatment with 1 N HCI can provide ketone II (Org Lett, 2016, 18(7), 1630-1633, WO 2018/115380). Reaction of XIV with 1 ,4-butanediol vinyl ether in the presence of transition metal catalyst, preferably palladium with suitable ligands and solvent such as 1 ,2-propane diol and base such as sodium carbonate and reaction temperature of about 120 °C followed by treatment with 1 N HCI can provide ketone II (Chem A Eur J, 2008, 14(18), 5555-5566). Another method uses acid compounds XV, which can be converted to the corresponding Weinreb amide or carboxylic ester XVII and subsequent reaction with methylmagnesium bromide (MeMgBr) in solvent such as THF and temperatures of -78 to 0 °C, preferably 0 °C, to provide ketone II. Another method uses the reaction of nitrile XVI with MeMgBr which is carried out in solvent such as THF or toluene, preferably THF, and reaction temperature is 25 to 60 °C, preferably 60 °C, followed by treatment with 1 N HCI (Eur J Med Chem, 2015, 102, 582-593).

Oomycetes), Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetes (syn. Fungi imperfecti). They can be used in crop protection as foliar fungicides, fungicides for seed dressing, and soil fungicides.
The compounds I and the compositions thereof are preferably useful in the control of phytopathogenic fungi on various cultivated plants, such as cereals, e.g. wheat, rye, barley, triticale, oats, or rice; beet, e.g. sugar beet or fodder beet; fruits, e.g. pomes (apples, pears, etc.), stone fruits (e.g. plums, peaches, almonds, cherries), or soft fruits, also called berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, etc.); leguminous plants, e.g. lentils, peas, alfalfa, or soybeans; oil plants, e.g. oilseed rape, mustard, olives, sunflowers, coconut, cocoa beans, castor oil plants, oil palms, ground nuts, or soybeans; cucurbits, e.g. squashes, cucumber, or melons; fiber plants, e.g. cotton, flax, hemp, or jute; citrus fruits, e.g. oranges, lemons, grapefruits, or mandarins; vegetables, e.g. spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits, or paprika; lauraceous plants, e.g. avocados, cinnamon, or camphor; energy and raw material plants, e.g. corn, soybean, oilseed rape, sugar cane, or oil palm; corn; tobacco; nuts; coffee; tea; bananas; vines (table grapes and grape juice grape vines); hop; turf; sweet leaf (also called Stevia); natural rubber plants; or ornamental and forestry plants, e.g. flowers, shrubs, broad-leaved trees, or evergreens (conifers, eucalypts, etc.); on the plant propagation material, such as seeds; and on the crop material of these plants.
More preferably, compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively are used for controlling fungi on field crops, such as potatoes, sugar beets, tobacco, wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, oilseed rape, legumes, sunflowers, coffee or sugar cane; fruits; vines; ornamentals; or vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, beans or squashes.
The term "plant propagation material" is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant, such as seeds; and vegetative plant materials, such as cuttings and tubers (e.g. potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants; including seedlings and young plants to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil.
Preferably, treatment of plant propagation materials with compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, is used for controlling fungi on cereals, such as wheat, rye, barley and oats; rice, corn, cotton and soybeans.
According to the invention all of the above cultivated plants are understood to comprise all species, subspecies, variants, varieties and/or hybrids which belong to the respective cultivated plants, including but not limited to winter and spring varieties, in particular in cereals such as wheat and barley, as well as oilseed rape, e.g. winter wheat, spring wheat, winter barley etc, further including dwarf, semi-dwarf and full-dwarf varieties and/or hybrids with reduced height and thicker and shorter stems, e.g. short stature corn (also called ‘smart corn’), semi-dwarf wheat and dwarf rice.
Corn is also known as Indian corn or maize (Zea mays) which comprises all kinds of corn such as field corn and sweet corn. According to the invention all maize or corn subspecies and/or varieties are comprised, in particular flour corn (Zea mays var. amylacea), popcorn (Zea mays var. evert a), dent corn (Zea mays var. indentata), flint corn (Zea mays var. indurata), sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata and var. rugosa), waxy corn (Zea mays var. ceratina), amylomaize (high amylose Zea mays varieties), pod corn or wild maize (Zea mays var. tunicata) and striped maize (Zea mays var. japonica).
Most soybean cultivars are classifiable into indeterminate and determinate growth habit, whereas Glycine soja, the wild progenitor of soybean, is indeterminate (PNAS 2010, 107 (19) 8563-8568). The indeterminate growth habit (Maturity Group, MG 00 to MG 4.9) is characterized by a continuation of vegetative growth after flowering begins whereas determinate soybean varieties (MG 5 to MG 8) characteristically have finished most of their vegetative growth when flowering begins. According to the invention all soybean cultivars or varieties are comprised, in particular indeterminate and determinate cultivars or varieties.
The term "cultivated plants" is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering to provide a new trait to a plant or to modify an already present trait. Mutagenesis includes random mutagenesis using X-rays or mutagenic chemicals, but also targeted mutagenesis to create mutations at a specific locus of a plant genome. Targeted mutagenesis frequently uses oligonucleotides or proteins like CRISPR/Cas, zinc-finger nucleases, TALENs or meganucleases. Genetic engineering usually uses recombinant DNA techniques to create modifications in a plant genome which under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutagenesis or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes are integrated into the genome of a plant to add a trait or improve or modify a trait. These integrated genes are also referred to as transgenes, while plant comprising such transgenes are referred to as transgenic plants. The process of plant transformation usually produces several transformation events, wich differ in the genomic locus in which a transgene has been integrated. Plants comprising a specific transgene on a specific genomic locus are usually described as comprising a specific “event”, which is referred to by a specific event name. Traits which have been introduced in plants or have been modified include herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, increased yield and tolerance to abiotic conditions, like drought. Herbicide tolerance has been created by using mutagenesis and genetic engineering. Plants which have been rendered tolerant to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitor herbicides by mutagenesis and breeding are e.g. available under the name Clearfield®. Herbicide tolerance to glyphosate, glufosinate, 2,4-D, dicamba, oxynil herbicides, like bromoxynil and ioxynil, sulfonylurea herbicides, ALS inhibitors and 4-hydroxyphenyl pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors, like isoxaflutole and mesotrione, has been created via the use of transgenes.

Thus, compounds I are particularly useful to control such fungicide-resistant strains of phytopathogenic fungi described in Table M. Such strains may have one or more resistances derived from one or more mutations of one or more genes encoding target proteins of various kinds of the fungicides including but not limited to the mutations listed in Table M and/or a resistance derived from an overexpression of the target protein.
In addition, certain strains of fungi may have developed other type of resistances to fungicides some of which are called efflux type multidrug-resistant fungi.
The term of "efflux type multidrug resistant fungus" as used herein represents a fungus showing a resistance to multiple fungicides sometimes even from various fungicidal modes oof aciton by overexpressing various kinds of membrane transporters that are present on the cell membrane, and increasing an efflux pump function in exporting the plant disease control agent that is inflowed into cells outside of the cells. Examples of the membrane transporter include an ABC transporter and a MFS transporter, which are not limited thereto. As used herein, "ABC transporter" refers to an ATP-binding cassette transporter, and "MFS transporter" refers to a Major Facilitator Superfamily transporter. The overexpression of the membrane transporter is confirmed by usual method, for example, by measuring an amount of the membrane transporter or an amount of mRNA which corresponds to a gene encoding the membrane transporter.
It is sufficient that the efflux type multidrug resistant fungus shows any resistance to a plant disease control agent as a result of the overexpression of the membrane transporter regardless of the measured amount of mRNA. The measured amount of mRNA may be, for example, 5 fold, 20 fold, further 100 fold or more, relative to the mRNA amount of wild-type fungus.
The method of the present invention can be applied to control a plant disease that is caused by an efflux type multidrug resistant fungus.
The efflux type multidrug resistant fungus may have in addition one or more resistances derived from one or more mutations of one or more genes encoding target proteins of various kinds of the pfungicides including but not limited to the mutations listed in Table M and/or a resistance derived from an overexpression of the target protein.
Thus, compounds I are also particularly useful to control such efflux type multidrug-resistant fungi.
The compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, are also suitable for controlling harmful microorganisms in the protection of stored products or harvest, and in the protection of materials.
The term "stored products or harvest" is understood to denote natural substances of plant or animal origin and their processed forms for which long-term protection is desired. Stored products of plant origin, for example stalks, leafs, tubers, seeds, fruits or grains, can be protected in the freshly harvested state or in processed form, such as pre-dried, moistened, comminuted, ground, pressed or roasted, which process is also known as post-harvest treatment. Also falling under the definition of stored products is timber, whether in the form of crude timber, such as construction timber, electricity pylons and barriers, or in the form of finished articles, such as furniture or objects made from wood. Stored products of animal origin are hides, leather, furs, hairs and alike. Preferably, "stored products" is understood to denote natural substances of plant origin and their processed forms, more preferably fruits and their processed forms, such as pomes, stone fruits, soft fruits and citrus fruits and their processed forms, where application of compounds I and compositions thereof can also prevent disadvantageous effects such as decay, discoloration or mold.
The term "protection of materials" is to be understood to denote the protection of technical and non-living materials, such as adhesives, glues, wood, paper, paperboard, textiles, leather, paint dispersions, plastics, cooling lubricants, fiber, or fabrics against the infestation and destruction by harmful microorganisms, such as fungi and bacteria.
When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active substance applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active substance per cubic meter of treated material.
The compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively, may be used for improving the health of a plant. The invention also relates to a method for improving plant health by treating a plant, its propagation material, and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is to grow with an effective amount of compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively.
The term "plant health" is to be understood to denote a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several indicators alone or in combination with each other, such as yield (e.g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), plant vigor (e.g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves (“greening effect”)), quality (e.g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients), and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or may result from each other.
The compounds I are employed as such or in form of compositions by treating the fungi, the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds; soil, surfaces, materials, or rooms to be protected from fungal attack with a fungicidally effective amount of the active substances. The application can be carried out both before and after the infection of the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds; soil, surfaces, materials or rooms by the fungi.
An agrochemical composition comprises a fungicidally effective amount of a compound I. The term "fungicidally effective amount" denotes an amount of the composition or of the compounds I, which is sufficient for controlling harmful fungi on cultivated plants or in the protection of stored products or harvest or of materials and which does not result in a substantial damage to the treated plants, the treated stored products or harvest, or to the treated materials. Such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, such as the fungal species to be controlled, the treated cultivated plant, stored product, harvest or material, the climatic conditions and the specific compound I used.
Plant propagation materials may be treated with compounds I as such or a composition comprising at least one compound I prophylactically either at or before planting or transplanting.
When employed in plant protection, the amounts of active substances applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, from 0.001 to 2 kg per ha, preferably from 0.005 to 2 kg per ha, more preferably from 0.05 to 0.9 kg per ha, and in particular from 0.1 to 0.75 kg per ha.
In treatment of plant propagation materials, such as seeds, e.g. by dusting, coating, or drenching, amounts of active substance of generally from 0.1 to 1000 g, preferably from 1 to 1000 g, more preferably from 1 to 100 g and most preferably from 5 to 100 g, per 100 kg of plant propagation material (preferably seeds) are required.
The user applies the agrochemical composition usually from a predosage device, a knapsack sprayer, a spray tank, a spray plane, or an irrigation system. Usually, the agrochemical composition is made up with water, buffer, and/or further auxiliaries to the desired application concentration and the ready-to-use spray liquor or the agrochemical composition according to the invention is thus obtained. Usually, 20 to 2000 liters, preferably 50 to 400 liters, of the ready- to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area.
The compounds I and the compositions containing them may be applied in combination with, or by utilizing smart agricultural technologies, such as precision agriculture, remote and proximate imaging and image recognition, or smart agricultural site management programs. Such technologies typically include models, e.g. computer programs, that support the user by considering information from a variety of sources to increase quality and yield of harvested material, reduce damage by pests including the prediction of pest pressure and smart application of crop protection products, secure environmental protection, support quick and reliable agronomic decision making, reduce usage of fertilizers and crop protection products, reduce product residues in consumables, increase spatial and temporal precision of agronomical measures, automate processes, and enable traceability of measures. Commercially available systems which include agronomic models are e.g. FieldScripts™ (The Climate Corporation), Xarvio™ (BASF) and AGLogic™ (John Deere).
Information input for these models include but is not limited to soil data, information on the plants that are currently growing or that may grow at the area of interest including crops and/or unwanted vegetation, weather information, information on the location of the area and directly derivable information thereof, information on pest pressure, information on beneficial organisms, comprising forecast, present and I or historic information of any of the aforementioned.
The information usable for precision agriculture may be based on input by at least one user, be accessible from external data sources and databases, or be based on sensor data. Data sources typically include proximate-detection systems like soil-borne sensors and remote sensing as may be achieved by imaging with unmanned airborne vehicles like drones, or satellites. Sensors may be included in an Internet-of-Things system and may be directly or indirectly connected to the processing unit, e.g. via a wireless network and/or cloud applications. The information is typically taken into account by at least one processing unit and used to provide recommendations, and to generate control signals.
Typical technologies that are used in smart agricultural technologies include self-steering robots (such as tractors, harvesters, drones), artificial intelligence (e.g. machine learning), imaging technologies (e.g. image segmentation technologies), big data analysis, and model gene-ra-'tion, cloud computing, and machine-to-machine communication.
Precision agriculture such as precision farming is characterized by spatially and/or temporally resolved, targeted application of active ingredients like pesticides, plant-growth-regulators, ferthlizers, and/or water including the variation of application rates over the agronomic site, zone or spot application, and of the spatially and/or temporally resolved, targeted planting or seeding of desired plant propagation material to an agronomic site. Precision farming typically includes the use of geo-positioning technologies like GPS for gaining information on the location and boundaries of the area of interest, the utilized application equipment, sensing equipment and recorded data, and to control the actions of farm vehicles such as spraying. By combining geo-positioning data with (digital) maps, it is possible to (semi)-automate agricultural measures at the site of interest, e.g. by using (semi)-autonomous spraying or seeding equipment.
Precision farming may typically include the application of smart spraying equipment, e.g. spot spraying, and precision spraying at a farm, e.g. by irrigation systems, tractors, robots, helicopters, airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, such as drones. Such equipment usually includes input sensors (e.g. a camera) and a processing unit configured to analyze the input data and configured to provide a recommendation or decision based on the analysis of input data to apply the compounds I or compositions comprising them to the agronomic site, e.g. the soil, the crop plants, or to control pests in a specific and precise manner. For example, pests may be detected, identified, and/or classified from imagery acquired by a camera. Such identification and/ classification can make use of image processing algorithms, which may utilize artificial intelligence (e.g. machine learning algorithms), or decision trees. In this manner, the compounds I or com-'po-'sitions described herein can be applied only at the required location, point in time and dose rate.
The compounds I, their N-oxides and salts can be converted into customary types of agrochemical compositions, e.g. solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes, granules, pressings, capsules, and mixtures thereof. Examples for composition types (see also “Catalogue of pesticide formulation types and international coding system”, Technical Monograph No. 2, 6th Ed. May 2008, CropLife International) are suspensions (e.g. SC, OD, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (e.g. EC), emulsions (e.g. EW, EO, ES, ME), capsules (e.g. CS, ZC), pastes, pastilles, wettable powders or dusts (e.g. WP, SP, WS, DP, DS), pressings (e.g. BR, TB, DT), granules (e.g. WG, SG, GR, FG, GG, MG), insecticidal articles (e.g. LN), as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials, such as seeds (e.g. GF).

The agrochemical compositions generally comprise between 5 and 99.9 %, preferably between 10 and 99.9 %, more preferably between 30 and 99 %, and in particular between 40 and 90 %, by weight of at least one auxiliary. The active substances (e.g. compounds I) are employed in a purity of from 90 % to 100 %, preferably from 95-% to 100 % (according to NMR spectrum).
For the purposes of treatment of plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, solutions for seed treatment (LS), Suspoemulsions (SE), flowable concentrates (FS), powders for dry treatment (DS), water-dispersible powders for slurry treatment (WS), water-soluble powders (SS), emulsions (ES), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), and gels (GF) are usually employed.

Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying compound I and compositions thereof, respectively, onto plant propagation material, especially seeds, include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking, as well as in-furrow application methods. Preferably, compound I or the compositions thereof, respectively, are applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e.g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating, and dusting.
Various types of oils, wetters, adjuvants, fertilizers, or micronutrients, and further pesticides (e.g. fungicides, growth regulators, herbicides, insecticides, safeners) may be added to the compounds I or the compositions thereof as premix, or, not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). These agents can be admixed with the compositions according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1 : 100 to 100: 1 , preferably 1 : 10 to 10: 1. A pesticide is generally a chemical or biological agent (such as pestidal active ingredient, compound, composition, virus, bacterium, antimicrobial, or disinfectant) that through its effect deters, incapacitates, kills or otherwise discourages pests. Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, mollusks, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, spread disease or are vectors for disease. The term “pesticide” includes also plant growth regulators that alter the expected growth, flowering, or reproduction rate of plants; defoliants that cause leaves or other foliage to drop from a plant, usually to facilitate harvest; desiccants that promote drying of living tissues, such as unwanted plant tops; plant activators that activate plant physiology for defense of against certain pests; safeners that reduce unwanted herbicidal action of pesticides on crop plants; and plant growth promoters that affect plant physiology e.g. to increase plant growth, biomass, yield or any other quality parameter of the harvestable goods of a crop plant.
Biopesticides have been defined as a form of pesticides based on microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, etc.) or natural products (compounds, such as metabolites, proteins, or extracts from biological or other natural sources) (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency: http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/biopesticides/). Biopesticides fall into two major classes, microbial and biochemical pesticides:
(1) Microbial pesticides consist of bacteria, fungi or viruses (and often include the metabolites that bacteria and fungi produce). Entomopathogenic nematodes are also classified as microbial pesticides, even though they are multi-cellular.
(2) Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests or provide other crop protection uses as defined below, but are relatively non-toxic to mammals.
Mixing the compounds I or the compositions comprising them in the use form as fungicides with other fungicides results in many cases in an expansion of the fungicidal spectrum of activity or in a prevention of fungicide resistance development. Furthermore, in many cases, synergistic effects are obtained (synergistic mixtures).

Some compounds are identified by their CAS Registry Number which is separated by hyphens into three parts, the first consisting from two up to seven digits, the second consisting of two digits, and the third consisting of a single digit.
At least one of the compounds of the abovementioned list of pesticides II are preferably mixed with at least one of the compounds I which are explicitely disclosed herein e.g. in the Tables such as compounds I.1-A-1 to 1.1-A-816, compounds I.2-A-1 to I.2-A-816, compounds I.3-A-1 to I.3-A-816 and example compounds 1 to 464.
According to the invention, the solid material (dry matter) of the biopesticides (with the exception of oils such as Neem oil) are considered as active components (e.g. to be obtained after drying or evaporation of the extraction or suspension medium in case of liquid formulations of the microbial pesticides). The weight ratios and percentages used for a biological extract such as Quillay extract are based on the total weight of the dry content (solid material) of the respective extract(s).
The total weight ratios of compositions comprising at least one microbial pesticide in the form of viable microbial cells including dormant forms, can be determined using the amount of CFU of the respective microorganism to calculate the total weight of the respective active component with the following equation that 1 x 1010 CFU equals one gram of total weight of the respective active component. Colony forming unit is measure of viable microbial cells. In addition, CFU may also be understood as the number of (juvenile) individual nematodes in case of nematode biopesticides, such as Steinernema feltiae.
In the binary mixtures the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) generally depends from the properties of the components used, usually it is in the range of from 1 :10,000 to 10,000:1 , often from 1 :100 to 100:1 , regularly from 1 :50 to 50:1 , preferably from 1 :20 to 20:1 , more preferably from 1 : 10 to 10:1 , even more preferably from 1 :4 to 4: 1 and in particular from 1 :2 to 2:1. According to further embodiments, the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) usually is in the range of from 1000:1 to 1 :1 , often from 100: 1 to 1 :1 , regularly from 50:1 to 1 :1 , preferably from 20:1 to 1 :1 , more preferably from 10:1 to 1 :1 , even more preferably from 4:1 to 1 :1 and in particular from 2:1 to 1 :1. According to further embodiments, the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) usually is in the range of from 20,000:1 to 1 :10, often from 10,000:1 to 1 :1 , regularly from 5,000:1 to 5:1 , preferably from 5,000:1 to 10:1 , more preferably from 2,000:1 to 30:1 , even more preferably from 2,000:1 to 100:1 and in particular from 1 ,000:1 to 100:1. According to further embodiments, the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) usually is in the range of from 1 :1 to 1 :1000, often from 1 :1 to 1 :100, regularly from 1 :1 to 1 :50, preferably from 1 :1 to 1 :20, more preferably from 1 :1 to 1 :10, even more preferably from 1 :1 to 1 :4 and in particular from 1 :1 to 1 :2. According to further embodiments, the weight ratio of the component 1) and the component 2) usually is in the range of from 10:1 to 1 :20,000, often from 1 :1 to 1 :10,000, regularly from 1 :5 to 1 :5,000, preferably from 1 :10 to 1 :5,000, more preferably from 1 :30 to 1 :2,000, even more preferably from 1 :100 to 1 :2,000 to and in particular from 1 :100 to 1 :1 ,000.
In the ternary mixtures, i.e. compositions comprising the component 1) and component 2) and a compound III (component 3), the weight ratio of component 1) and component 2) depends from the properties of the active substances used, usually it is in the range of from 1 :100 to 100:1 , regularly from 1 :50 to 50:1 , preferably from 1 :20 to 20:1 , more preferably from 1 :10 to 10:1 and in particular from 1 :4 to 4:1 , and the weight ratio of component 1) and component 3) usually it is in the range of from 1 :100 to 100:1 , regularly from 1 :50 to 50:1 , preferably from 1 :20 to 20:1 , more preferably from 1 :10 to 10:1 and in particular from 1 :4 to 4:1. Any further active components are, if desired, added in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1 :20 to the component 1). These ratios are also suitable for mixtures applied by seed treatment.
When mixtures comprising microbial pesticides are employed in crop protection, the application rates range from 1 x 106 to 5 x 1016 (or more) CFU/ha, preferably from 1 x 108 to 1 x 1013 CFU/ha, and even more preferably from 1 x 109 to 5 x 1015 CFU/ha and in particular from 1 x 1012 to 5 x 1014 CFU/ha.
