| abstract |
The invention relates to a novel fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally acceptable carrier and/or surface active agent together with, and synergistically effective amounts of(a) at least one benzophenone of formula Iwherein R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, R<4>, R<5>, R<6>, R<7>, m and n have the meaning given;at least one fungicidal active ingredient selected from the following groups (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E):(A) an ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor;(B) a strobilurine derivative,(C) a melanin biosynthesis inhibitor;(D) a compound selected from the group consisting of acibenzolar, benomyl, captan, carboxin, chlorothalonil, copper, cyprodinil, dinocap, dithianon, dimethomorph, dodine, ethirimol, famoxadone, fenpiclonil, fluazinam, mancozeb, metalaxyl, pyrifenox, sulfur, vinclozolin and(E) an azolopyrimidine of formula IIin which R<8>, R<9>, R<10>, R<11>, A, L and p have the meaning given;and to a method of controlling the growth of phytopathogenic fungi at a locus which comprises applying synergistically effective amounts of (a) at least one benzophenones of formula I and (b) at least one fungicidal active ingredient selected from the groups (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E) to the locus. |
