Known microorganisms that produce antibiotics against fungi are actinomycetes, for instance Streptomyces sp. A very well-known species is Streptomyces natalensis that produces the antifungal compound natamycin, which is used in food and crop protection. In US 5,356,624 a Streptomyces rimosus strain is disclosed that was found active against several wood-degrading fungi. In W02022/038180 new Streptomyces sp. are disclosed that produce several known antifungal compounds such as streptimidone, natamycin (pimaricin), or albofungin. The extracts of these bacterial strains were found active against well-known plant pests such as Fusarium graminearum, Zymoseptoria tritici, and Puccinia striiformis.
Another compound that is produced by Streptomyces sp. No. AC-69 is Lipopeptin A which is known to be active against some phytopathogenic fungi (Tsuda, Suzuki (1980), The Journal of Antibiotics Vol. 33, no2, p. 247-248.

As used herein, the terms "percent identity," and "percent identical" refer to the relatedness of two or more nucleotide or amino acid sequences, which may be calculated by (i) comparing two optimally aligned sequences over a window of comparison, (ii) determining the number of positions at which the identical nucleic acid base (for nucleotide sequences) or amino acid residue (for proteins) occurs in both sequences to yield the number of matched positions, (iii) dividing the number of matched
positions by the total number of positions in the window of comparison, and then (iv) multiplying this quotient by 100 percent to yield the percent identity. If the "percent identity" is being calculated in relation to a reference sequence without a particular comparison window being specified, then the percent identity is determined by dividing the number of matched positions over the region of alignment by the total length of the reference sequence. Accordingly, for purposes of the present invention, when two sequences (query and subject) are optimally aligned (with allowance for gaps in their alignment), the "percent identity" for the query sequence is equal to the number of identical positions between the two sequences divided by the total number of positions in the query sequence over its length (or a comparison window), which is then multiplied by 100 percent.

Known formulations in the art are for instance emulsifiable concentratres, coatable pastes, sprayable or dilutable solutions or suspensions, powders, dusts, granulates and encapsulations.
Accordingly, in one embodiment a composition comprising a compound according to the present invention as disclosed herein further comprises an auxiliary. Preferably the auxiliary is an an agricultural- acceptable auxiliary.
Suitable auxiliaries are known in the art, and include for example solvents, liquid carriers, solid carriers or fillers, surfactants, dispersants, emulsifiers, welters, adjuvants, solubilizers, penetration enhancers, protective colloids, adhesion agents, thickeners, humectants, repellents, attractants, feeding stimulants, compatibilizers, bactericides, anti-freezing agents, anti-foaming agents, colorants, tackifiers and binders.

A composition as disclosed herein preferably is an agricultural-acceptable composition.
A composition comprising a compound according to the present invention as disclosed herein typically comprises 0.5 to 95 w/w% of active ingredient such as from 1 % to 90 w/w%, such as from 2 to 80 w/w%, such as from 5 to 60 w/w%. The compound according to the present invention may be the sole active ingredient in a composition as disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a composition comprising a compound of the present invention further comprises at least one additional active ingredient. An active ingredient as defined herein has fungicidal and I or insecticidal and I or herbicidal activity or has activity as plant growth regulator. A compound or a composition of the present invention may be admixed with one or more additional ingredients having pesticidal activity such as fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides and I or the additional ingredient comprises plant growth regulators where appropriate. Pesticidal agents are referred to herein using their common name are known, for example, from "The Pesticide Manual", 19th Ed., British Crop Protection Council 2021 .
An additional ingredient having pesticidal activity, for instance fungicidal activity may result in an unexpected synergistic activity. Accordingly, a composition comprising a lipopeptide compound according to Formula I and an additional active ingredient, for instance malonomicin, may show a synergistic effect. A synergistic effect occurs whenever the action of an active ingredient combination is greater than the sum of the actions of the individual components. The action to be expected E for a given active ingredient combination obeys the so-called COLBY formula and can be calculated as follows (COLBY, S.R. "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combination". Weeds, Vol. 15, pages 20-22; 1967): ppm = milligrams of active ingredient (= a.i.) per liter of spray mixture
X = % action by active ingredient A) using p ppm of active ingredient
Y = % action by active ingredient B) using q ppm of active ingredient.
According to COLBY, the expected (additive) action of active ingredients A)+B) using p+q ppm of active ingredient is:
If the action actually observed (O) is greater than the expected action (E), then the action of the combination is super-additive, i.e. there is a synergistic effect. In mathematical terms, synergism corresponds to a positive value for the difference of (O-E). In the case of purely complementary addition of activities (expected activity), said difference (O-E) is zero. A negative value of said difference (O-E) signals a loss of activity compared to the expected activity.
Besides the actual synergistic action with respect to fungicidal activity, a composition according to the invention may also have further surprising advantageous properties. Examples of such advantageous properties that may be mentioned are: more advantageous degradability; improved toxicological and/or ecotoxicological behaviour; or improved characteristics of the useful plants including: emergence, crop yields, more developed root system, tillering increase, increase in plant height, bigger leaf blade, less dead basal leaves, stronger tillers, greener leaf colour, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, more productive tillers, earlier flowering, early grain maturity, less plant verse (lodging), increased shoot growth, improved plant vigor, and early germination.

EXAMPLES
Example 1. Source and extraction of compound of the present invention
1 .1 . Fermentation of Streptromyces sp.
Streptomyces species were ordered from culture collections disclosed in Table 1. Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 was isolated in Vietnam before 1961. Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 was deposited at the Westerdijk institute under accession number CBS149411. The deposit was made by Syngenta Ltd., Jealott’s Hill Research International Centre, Bracknell, Berkshire, RG42 6EY, UK under the terms of the Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure.
Streptomyces species were cultivated in Erlenmeyer flasks with a liquid medium consisting of (g / 1) casein hydrolysate 10, glucose 40, K2HPO4 1 .25, soytone 2, tryptone, 8 and incubated at 28°C in an incubator shaking 150 rpm with 25 mm throw for 4 days.
The presence of the compound according to Formula I, such as a compound according to Formula l(a) and Formula I (b) , in the fermentation broth was determined by isolating and purifying according to the method described in section 1 .5 and identified as disclosed in section 2.
The resuls in Table 1 show that a compound according to Formula I (a) was present in the fermentation broth of various Streptomyces species.
1.2. Isolation of 16S rDNA, whole genome sequencing and species identification
Genomic DNA was isolated from Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 using the method described in Kutchma et al. (1998) Biotechniques 24(3):452-457. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified using universal 16S primers and sequenced using Sanger sequencing. The 16S rRNA of Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 .
The species of strain Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 was identified by comparing the 16 S rRNA sequence according to SEQ ID NO:1 with publicly available 16S rRNA sequences that were extracted using whole genome sequence assembly of genomes from Streptomyces species (based on The Genome Taxonomy Database GTDB (Parks, D.H., et al. (2021). GTDB: Nucleic Acids Research, 50: D785-D794) using barrnap v0.9. Based on this comparative analysis Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 was identified as a Streptomyces chrestomyceticus species. The sequence identity between the 16S rRNA sequence of Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 and the publicly available S. chrestomyceticus NRRL-3672 was 99.87%, which was determined using Muscle v3.8.31 and R package Seqinr v4.2-16.
In addition, whole genome sequencing, using the genomic DNA from Streptomyces sp. Saigon413, was completed using both Pacific Biosciences and Illumina sequencing technologies. The genome was assembled using HFAP4 and polished with Pilon using the Illumina reads. Genomic DNA was also extracted from Streptomyces rimosus CBS 492.64, Streptomyces rimosus CBS 570.66, Streptomyces rimosus CBS 569.66, Streptomyces chrestomyceticus DSM 41224, Streptomyces rimosus subsp.
rimosus DSM 40673, and Streptomyces rimosus subsp. rimosus DSM 41057 using a method described in Kieser et. al., (2000) Practical Streptomyces Genetics. Whole genome sequencing for these strains was completed using Nanopore Sequencing technology and the genomes were assembled with Flye (Kolmogorov, M., et. al., (2019), Nature Biotechnology, 37, 540). Following assembly of the genome from Streptomyces sp. Saigon 413 and publicly available genomes, the average nucleotide identity (ANI) was calculated between Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 and closely related Streptomyces strains using fastANI (Jain, C., et. al. (2018), Nature Communications, 9, 5114) (Table 1). The highest percentage identity (ANI) of the genome of Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 was 96.9 % with the publicly available genome of S. chrestomyceticus NRRL B-3672. Using the 16SRNA sequence identity and ANI score (%), it was also found that the strains CBS 596.66, CBS570.66 and DSM 41429 were Streptomyce chrestomyceticus strains and not a Streptomyces rimosis or Streptomyces paromomycinus strain as indicated by the depository institute. In Table 1 , the percentage identity of the whole genome and the 16SRNA sequence of several Streptomyces species to the one of Streptomyces sp. Saigon 413 is shown.

1.3. Identification of the biosynthetic gene cluster producing a lipopeptide according to Formula I in Streptomyces sp. Saigon413
To identify genes involved in the production of the lipopeptide according to Formula I, the assembled genome (see Example 1.2) was run through AntiSMASH (version 5.1.1 , Blin et. al., Nucleic Acids Res (2019) doi: 10.1093/nar/gkz310), a commonly used tool to assist with the identification of biosynthetic gene clusters responsible for the production of secondary metabolites.
With the identification of lipopeptide compound being a lipopeptide family (see 1 above, and the AntiSMASH output we were able to deduce that the lipopeptide compound is produced by a non- ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS gene cluster). The identification of a NRPS gene cluster responsible for the biosynthesis of the lipoeptide compound was based upon the structural analysis of the compound and the amino acids that are incorporated into the depsipeptide core of the lipopeptide compound. Within Streptomyces sp. Saigon413, only one NRPS biosynthetic gene cluster (Figure 11) enabling the incorporation of amino acid precursors including asparagine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, phenylalanine, serine and threonine, was identified and therefore was associated with the production of the lipopeptide compounds of Formula l(a) and l(b).
The NRPS biosynthetic gene cluster contains 45 coding sequences including two coding sequences for NRPS genes, a coding sequence for a regulator, and coding sequences responsible for the biosynthesis of a precursor incorporated into lipopeptide of Formula I (Figure 6 and Table 4).

.4. Deletion of genomic region including CDS_21 (SEQ ID NO: 22) and CDS_22 (SEQ ID NO:3) from Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 and phenotypic analysis
To confirm the identified biosynthetic gene cluster was associated with the production of [insert compound ID here], a region containing two non-ribosomal peptide synthetase genes encoded by ctg_7318 and ctg_7319 (SEQ ID NO: 22 and 23) was deleted from Streptomyces sp. Saigon413. To generate Streptomyces sp. Saigon413A7318-7319, plasmid pBCon2192 was used. Plasmid pBCCon2192 was prepared from pRAR017 and contained regions of homology to either side of the region to be deleted from the strain (facilitating primary and secondary crossovers).
Plasmid pBCon2192 was used to transform E. coli ET12567/pUZ8002 using a standard electroporation method, and then introduced into Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 by mycelial conjugation (T. Kieser et. al., Practical Streptomyces Genetics, 2000, John Innes Foundation, Norwich). Thiostrepton resistant colonies were patched on ISP-4 agar media supplemented with 40 pg/ml thiostrepton and 25 pg/ml nalidixic acid. These patches were initially incubated for 6 days at 28 °C allowing plasmid replication. After 6 days at 28°C, strains were re-patched on ISP-4 agar media supplemented with 40 pg/ml thiostrepton and incubated at 37°C for further 6 days to force primary integration. After 6 days at 37°C, the obtained strains were transferred onto ISP-4 solid agar media without selection and incubated for 15 days at 28°C to allow a second crossover.
After 15 days of growth, strains were collected in 20 % glycerol. 100 pl of the cell suspension was used to inoculate fresh plates, as well as to make serial dilutions up to 10-10. 100 pl of 10-8 to 10-10 were then plated onto ISP-4 agar plate. Plates were incubated at 28°C until single colonies were observed.
Single colonies were double patched on non-selective and thiostrepton selective ISP-4 agar media. Sensitive patches (representing secondary recombination) were then screened via PCR using gDNA isolated with FastSpin kit for soil (MP Biomedicals) to identify correct colonies.
To confirm the region containing both SEQ ID NO: 22 and SEQ ID NO: 22 has been removed from the strain, a primer pair binding to the outside of the deleted region was used. Sanger sequencing of the PCR product and alignment to the Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 genome, confirmed deletion of the genomic region containing SEQ ID NO: 22 and SEQ ID NO:23. Additionally, full genome analysis using lllumina-PCR-free sequencing confirmed that no other alterations had been made to the genome.
Cultivation of Streptomyces sp. Saigon413A7318-7319 and analysis of extracts from the strain confirmed that the lipopeptide compound according to Formula l(a) was no longer produced by the strain, confirming SEQ ID NO: 22 and SEQ ID NO: 23 are essential for production of the lipopeptide compound according to Formula l(a)
1.5. Purification of the compound according to the present invention
The mycelia from fermentation broth from Streptomyces strains disclosed in Table 1 were separated via centrifugation and the supernatant was treated with butanol. The butanol was removed and the extract partitioned between water and ethyl acetate. The lipopeptides were purified from the ethyl acetate fraction by preparative reverse phase (C18) HPLC. The lipopeptides were relatively aploar and elute in the higher organic fraction in a gradient system with 0.1 % formic acid and acetonirile (0.1 % formic acid). A gradient of 60% Aqueous to 40% Aqueous with the above solvents allowed separation of a compound according to Formula l(a) and Formula l(b).
Similarly, the fermentation broth of Streptomyces sp. Saigon413 was processed.
A stock solution for the compound of Formula l(a) and Formula l(b) was produced in DMSO (max. 10 mg/ml), which was further diluted with water plus 0.025% Tween20 to produce suitable working concentrations for biological efficacy assays. Compounds were detected by UV-VIS (Figure 1), mass spectrometry (Figures 2 and 3) and NMR spectrometry (Figures 4 ad 5).

3.2. Leaf disc or leaf segment tests in well plates
Leaf disks or leaf segments of various plant species were cut from plants grown in the greenhouse. The cut leaf disks, or segments were placed in multiwell plates (24-well format) onto water agar. The leaf disks were sprayed with a test solution before inoculation with the fungal spores. Compounds to be tested were prepared as DMSO solutions (max. 10 mg/ml) which were diluted to the appropriate concentration with water plus 0.025% Tween®20 just before spraying. The inoculated leaf disks or segments were incubated under defined conditions (temperature, relative humidity, light, etc.) according to the respective test system. A single evaluation of disease level was carried out by visual evaluation 3-9 days days after inoculation, depending on the pathosystem as indicated below. Percent disease control relative to the untreated check leaf disks or segments was then calculated.
Puccinia recondita f. sp. tritici / wheat / leaf disc (Brown rust)

3.3. Leaf painting assay in wheat seedling
Wheat seedlings of the variety Riband (for Zymoseptoria tritici trials) or variety Arina (for Puccinia recondite trials) were grown in a glasshouse until 14d after seeding. At this time, such seedlings usually have a first leaf fully emerged (designated L1), a second leaf fully emerged (L2) and a third leaf (L3) that was partially emerged and in the process of development. Using a permanent pen, two dots were applied on the second leaf such as to generate three segments of roughly equal size: Segment A (at the base), segment B (middle part) and segment C (upper part of the leaf). A stock solution of the test compound was produced in DMSO at a concentratioin of 10’OOOppm. The stock solution was then further diluted in water supplemented with Tween®20 to a final concentration of 200ppm or higher of test compound, 0.05% Tween®20 and 2% DMSO. The diluted compound was applied to the middle segment of L2 using a conventional cotton stick; the cotton stick was soaked in the diluted compound and rubbed several times on the adaxial leaf surface between the two marks. 1 day later, the complete plant was
inoculated with a fungal spore suspension using a paint brush and application of the spore suspension until before run-off.
For infection with Zymoseptoria tritici: The test plants were inoculated by spraying a spore suspension on them 1 day after application (1 ,5Mio spores per ml in water supplemented with 0.01 % Tween®20). After an incubation period of 4 days at 22°C/21 °C (day/night) and 95% rh, the inoculated test plants were kept at 22°C/21°C (day/night) and 70% rh in a greenhouse. Efficacy was assessed by visual evaluation directly when an appropriate level of disease appears on untreated check plants (usually >80% disease cover at 16 - 19 days after inoculation).
For infection with Puccinia recondita: The test plants were inoculated by spraying them with a spore suspension 1 day after application (spore suspension at 80’000 spores per ml in water supplemented with Tween®20 at 0.1 %). After an incubation period of 1 day at 20° C and 95% rh, the inoculated test plants were kept at 20° C and 60% rh in a greenhouse. The percentage leaf area covered by disease was assessed by visual evaluation when an appropriate level of disease appeared on untreated check plants (usually 50-80% disease cover at 9 - 12 days after infection).
The three segments of the leaf were evaluated individually.
Table 6: Disease control efficacy of a compound according to Formula l(a) and l(b) in leaf painting assay in glasshouse
The results in Table 6 show that compounds of Formula l(a) and Formula l(b) were active in the assay providing up to 70% control against Puccinia recondite and Zymoseptoria tritici on the treated area (middle segment). Compounds of Formula l(a) and Formula l(b) have similar efficacy.
3.4. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) burst assay with wheat leaf discs
200 pL of the test solution (analyte) or the respective control (water) in the appropriate concentration was pipetted into a white 96-well plate (Nunc, Langenselbold, Germany). 5 mm leaf discs from 2-week- old wheat plants were obtained using a tissue punch and subsequently floated on the test solution. The plates were stored for 24 h at Room Temperature (RT). The next day, the solution was replaced with 50 pL ddbW and leaf discs were left for regeneration for at least one hour at RT in the dark. Meanwhile appropriate master mixes, either with or without the elicitor flg22 (see below), were freshly prepared in
black 5 mL reaction tubes. After regeneration, 50 pL of the corresponding master mix was added to the leaf disc containing wells. Subsequently, luminescence was recorded for 40 minutes with a platereader (BMG Labtech; Ortenberg, Germany). The compound INA (2.6-dichloro-isonicotinic acid, CAS: 5398- 44-7) is a synthetic salicylic acid analog and was included as a reference for priming activity (Kauss et al., 1992).
Mastermix -flg22: 4.98 mL ddH2O, 10 pL HRP (10 mg/mL), 10 pL L-012 (20 mM)
Mastermix +flg22: 4.979 mL ddH2O, 10 pL HRP (10 mg/mL), 10 pL L-012 (20 mM), 1 pL flg22 (10 pM) Abbreviations: flg22 (22 amino acids flagellin peptide. Eurogentec Cat. Number AS-62633); HRP (Horseradish Peroxidase), used L-012 sodium salt (CAS #: 143556-24-5).
Table 7. Fold change of peak ROS production. Numbers report the ratio of peak values observed for treated vs. control, using the maximum value each condition measured over a time-course of 40 minutes. Values indicated are the mean of two repetitions.
The results in Table 7 demonstrate that wheat pretreated with a compound of Formula l(a) or Formula l(b) in a concentration of 100 ppm increased ROS production induced by the peptide flg22 by a factor of 2.7 or higher. This is a response that is similar to or stronger than the response observed from a treatment with INA (2.6-dichloro-isonicotinic acid), a well-known priming agent (Krauss et al., 1992: Dichloroisonicotinic and salicylic acid, inducers of systemic acquired resistance, enhance fungal elicitor responses in parsley cells, Plant Journal 2:655-60).
Example 4. Fungicidal activity of a mixture of a lipopeptide according to Formula l(a) and malonomicin in liquid culture assays
Method
A stock solution for compound of Formula l(a) was produced in DMSO (max. 10 mg/ml). Malonomicin was produced according to Law et al, 2018 (Nature Catalys is | VOL 1 | DECEMBER 2018 | 977-984). A stock solution of malonomicin was produced in water plus 0.025% Tween®20.
Assays to test efficacy of mixtures of the lipopeptide compound of Formula l(a) in combination with malonomicin on the control of fungal pathogens in a liquid culture assay were designed for a 96well plate as outlined in table 1 :
Table 8. Outline of 96 well testplate including concentration of compounds per well. The upper number in the cell indicates malonomicin concentration (ppm), the lower number compound of Formula l(a) concentration (ppm). Column (1) holds a dilution series of compound of Formula l(a), row (H) holds a dilution series of malonomicin, column (12) hold cells representing untreated check
The 96 well plate design allows to compare disease control of the mixture with disease control of the respective single compound at the same rate. The comparison of the assessed efficacy from a mixture with the calculated efficacy of the same mixture according to Colby allows a statement if a mixture is additive (efficacy is similar to Colby calculation), synergistic (efficacy is better than Colby calculation) or antagonistic (efficacy is inferior to Colby calculation).
The same 96 well plate design also allows to assess if the two compounds can be mixed at different use rates and mixture ratios, the plate design outlined in table 1 will provide the following mixture ratios, as shown in table 2.
Table 9. Mixture ratio of two compounds in the 96well plate assay design as outlined in Table 8. The number represents the ratio of compound 1 : compound 2 . Compound 1 is malonomicin, and compound 2 is the lipopeptyide compound of Formula 1 (a). The plate design spans a wide range from 641 :1 to 1 :100.
A master plate with 10x concentrated solution of the compound stock solutions diluted in water plus 0.025% Tween®20 was prepared. The concentration of DMSO (from the stock of compound of Formula 1(a)) and Tween®20 was kept constant in all cells of the master plate. 10 pl was transferred from the master plate to a 96well test plate. The nutrient broth containing the fungal spores/mycelia fragments was then added to the test plate to give an end concentration of 1x for the tested compounds (as outlined in Table 8). The test plates were incubated in the dark at 24°C and 96% rh. The inhibition of fungal growth was determined photometrically after ca 3 days, and percent fungal growth reduction relative to the untreated check was calculated.
Efficacy of the mixtures was tested on different fugnal species:

Conclusion
A mixture of the lipopeptide compound of Formula l(a) and malonomicin controls various fungal pathogens. A large variety of mixture ratios of the two compounds produces 50% or more control of the fungal growth, ranging from 641 :1 to 1 :100, for several fungal species, including examples with a ratio in between the mentioned ratios (ratio of compounds malonomicin: compound of Formulal(a)) . Surprisingly, the efficacy of many mixtures is better than the efficacy predicted based on the calculation from Colby, indicating that the mixture of the lipopeptide compound of Formulal(a) with malonomicin has a synergistic effect on the control of fungal pathogens. This surprising synergistic effect was observed in tests to control Zymoseptoria tritici, Fusarium culmorum, Microdochium nivale, Botrytis cinerea and Pyricularia oryzae.

Compound 1 is malonomicin, and compound 2 is the lipopeptide compound of Formula l(a). The plate design across the two 24well plates spans a wide range from 192:1 up to 1 :27.
A first set of master plates with 1x concentrated spray solution of the lipopeptide compound of Formulal(a) stock diluted in water with concentrations according to table 22, table 23, table 25 or table 26, respectively, was prepared. Each well contained 2% DMSO and 0.025% Tween20. Accordingly, a second set of master plates with 1x concentrated malonomicin stock diluted in water was prepared. Each well of the second set contained 0.025% Tween20. Leaf segments placed on agar in 24well plates were sprayed with 8pl of solution from the master plate containing the lipopeptide compound of Formula l(a) and the leaf segments were let to dry, followed 2hours later by 8 pl of solution from the master plate containing malonomicin. After second sprays had dried, leaf segments were infected with fungal spores to obtain a preventive application timing. Alternativeley, leaf segments infected one day before spray of the compounds were used, resulting in a curative spray timing. In addition, several plates were produced where leaf segments were sprayed 2x in absence of test compound (with only DMSO and Tween20), representing the untreated check samples. For each leaf segment percent leaf coverage of disease symptoms was assessed. Percent leaf coverage reduction relative to the untreated check was calculated. Efficacy of the mixtures was tested in duplicate and on different fungal species. Reported efficacy values are the average of two replicate results.

Conclusions
Compound of Formula 1(a) and malonomicin can be mixed to obtain full or partial control of various fungal pathogens. The mixture ratio of the two compounds can vary greatly in mixtures and still produce 50% or more control of the fungal growth when sprayed on a leaf. Examples are shown for ratio that range from 192:1 to 1 :270, for several fungal species, including many examples with a ratio inbetween the mentioned ratios (ratio of compounds malonomicin : lipopeptide compound of Formula l(a). Surprisingly, the efficacy of many mixtures is better than the efficacy predicted based on the calculation from Colby, indicating that the mixture of compound of Formulal(a) with malonomicin has a synergistic effect on the control of fungal pathogens when sprayed on a leaf. This surprising synergistic effect was observed in tests to control Puccinia recondita.
