See “Isoboles, a graphic representation of synergism in pesticides,” Netherlands Journal of Plant Pathology, 70 (1964) p. 73-80. [0058] The Wadley method is based on comparison of an observed EC50 value (i.e. concentration providing 50% control) obtained from experimental data using the dose response curves and an expected EC50 calculated theoretically from the formula: wherein a and b are the weight ratios of compound A and B in the mixture and EC50 O bs is the experimentally determined EC50 value obtained using the dose response curves for the individual compounds.
