The invention relates to a method for the protection of seed and germinating plants from attack by phytopathogenic fungi, by treating the seed with a composition comprising fluoxastrobin and metalaxyl-M, wherein the mixing ratio fluoxastrobin:metalaxyl-M is 5:1 to 1:100, and wherein the composition protects the seed and germinating plants from: (i) seed- and soil-borne rot and wilt diseases, and (ii) diseases of seedlings, caused by Pyricularia oryzae. |
