A fungicidal composition which comprises a compound of general formula:n n or acid addition salts or metal complexes thereof, wherein R¹ and R² each independently represents a C₁₋₅ alkyl group or a hydrogen atom; X represents a halogen atom, a C₁₋₅ alkyl group or a phenyl group; n is 0, 1 or 2 and A represents a nitrogen atom or CH; and an aliphatic alcohol alkoxylate, for example an ethoxylate, with an average of 5-9 ethylene oxide units per molecule, of a C₉₋₁₅ aliphatic alcohol, as adjuvant. It has been found that the presence of the alkoxylate substantially enhances the fungicidal efficacy of a compound of general formula I, in particular in foliar spray applications against fungi which are pathogenic to cereal crops. |
