Description

The invention relates to novel active compound combinations consisting of the known 8-t-butyl-2- (N-ethyl-N-propylamino) methyl-1,4-dioxaspiro [5,4] decane and two other known triazolyl derivatives and which are very well suited for controlling fungi.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

It is already known, 8-t-butyl-2- (N-ethyl-Nn-propylamino) -methyl-1,4-dioxaspiro [5.4] decane, 1- (4-chlorophenyl) -4,4-dimethyl-3- (1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl) pentan-3-ol (tebuconazole), 1- (4-chlorophenoxy) -3,3-dimethyl-1- (1,2,4-triazole) 1-yl) butan-2-ol (triadimenol) and 1- (4-chlorophenoxy) -3,3-dimethyl-1- (1,2,4-triazol-1-yl) butan-2-one (triadimefon) have fungicidal properties (see LP-A 0 281 842, EPA 0 040 345, DE-A 2 324 010 and DE-A 2 201 063).

It is furthermore known that mixtures of

- 8-t-butyl-2- (N-ethyl-N-n-propylamino) methyl-1,4-dioxaspiro [5,4] decane and tebuconazole, or

- 8-t-butyl-2- (N-ethyl-N-n-propylamino) methyl-1,4-dioxaspiro [5,4] decane and triadimenol or triadimefon, or

- from tebuconazole and triadimenol or triadimefon can be used to control fungi (see EP-A 0 627 163 and EP-A 0 316 970). The efficacy of the individual components as well as the known mixtures of the corresponding two active substances is good. However, at very low rates of application, fungicidal efficacy in many cases lags behind expectations.

Surprisingly, the fungicidal efficacy of the combinations according to the invention of the three active substances is considerably higher than the effects of the individual components or the effects of the first known mixtures of the two corresponding active substances. Thus, there is an unforeseeable true synergistic effect and not just the sum of the effects.

The active substances contained in the active compound combinations according to the invention and also possible combinations of the two active substances are known (see EP-A 0 281 842, EP-A 0 040 345, DE-A 2 324 010, DE-A 2 201 063, EP-A 0 316 970 and EP-A 0 672 163).

When the active substances are present in the active compound combinations according to the invention in certain weight ratios, the synergistic effect is particularly evident. However, the weight ratios of the active ingredients in the active ingredient combinations may vary within a relatively wide range. In general, 0.1 to 1.5 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1.0 parts by weight of the active compound of the formula II and 0.1 to 1.5 parts by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1.5 parts by weight, are employed per part by weight of active compound of the formula I 1.0 part by weight of the active compound of the formula III.

The active compound combinations according to the invention have very good fungicidal properties and can be used for controlling phytopathogenic fungi such as Plasmodiophoromycetes, Oomycetes, Chytridomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes and the like.

Non-limiting examples include some agents of fungal and bacterial diseases that fall under the above:

Xanthomonas species, such as Xanthomonas oryzae.

Pseudomonas species, such as, for example, Pseudomonas lachrymans.

Erwinia species, such as Erwinia amylovora.

The active compound combinations according to the present invention can be used particularly successfully for the control of cereal diseases such as against Pyrenosphora teres, Erysiphe graminis, Rhynchosporium secalis, Leptosphaeria nodorum, Septoria tritici and Puccinia spp.

The good acceptability of the active ingredient combinations for plants at the concentrations necessary to control plant diseases permits the treatment of above-ground parts of plants, seedlings, seeds and soil.

The active substances can be converted into conventional preparations such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granulates, aerosols, active substances impregnated with natural and synthetic substances, microcapsules in polymerization substances and seed encapsulants, preparations with flammable additives , such as smoke cartridges and the like, as well as hot or cold milling compositions.

These preparations can be prepared by known methods, for example by mixing the active ingredient with extenders, i.e. liquid solvents, under pressure with liquefied gases and / or solid carriers, optionally using surfactants, i.e. emulsifiers and / or dispersants and / or foaming agents. .

If water is used as the extender, it is also possible, for example, to use organic solvents as co-solvents. Essentially suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkyl naphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins such as petroleum fractions alcohols such as butyl alcohol or glycols as well as their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone or strong polar solvents such as dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide, as well as water.

Liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are understood to be those liquids which are gaseous at normal temperature and under normal pressure, for example aerosol carrier gases such as halogenated hydrocarbons as well as butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide.

Suitable solid carriers are, for example, natural rock meals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth and synthetic rock meals such as highly disperse silicic acid, alumina and silicates. Suitable solid carriers for granulates are, for example, crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite, dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic flours, as well as granules of organic materials such as sawdust, coconut shells. nuts, corn bars and tobacco stems.

Suitable emulsifying and / or foaming agents are, for example, nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters and polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ether, alkylsulfonates, alkylsulfates, arylsulfonates and protein hydrolysates. Suitable dispersing agents are, for example, lignosulphite leachates and methylcellulose.

Adhesion enhancers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic, powdered, granular or latex polymers such as acacia, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other additives may be mineral and vegetable oils.

Alternatively, dyes such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxides, titanium dioxide and ferrocyanide blue, or organic dyes such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes can also be used.

Furthermore, trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc can be used.

Ί

The formulations generally contain from 0.1 to 95% by weight of active compounds, preferably from 0.5 to 90% by weight.

The active compound combinations according to the invention can be used in preparations in admixture with other known active substances, such as fungicides, acaricides, insecticides or herbicides, as well as in mixtures with fertilizers or plant growth regulators.

The active compound combinations can be used as such, in the form of their preparations or in dosage forms prepared therefrom, such as application solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, suspensions, spray powders, soluble powders and granules.

The application is carried out by conventional means, for example by pouring, spraying, spraying, dusting, spraying, spraying, foaming, coating, dry pickling, wet pickling, sludge pickling, incrustation and the like.

In the treatment of plant parts, the active compound concentrations in the use forms can be varied within a wide range. In general, this concentration is 1 to 0.0001% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 0.001% by weight.

In the treatment of seed, amounts of active compound of from 0.001 to 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably 0.01 to 10 g, are generally required.

In soil treatment, active compound concentrations of 0.00001 to 0.1% by weight, preferably 0.0001 to 0.02% by weight, are required at the site of action.

The good fungicidal effect of the active compound combinations according to the invention is apparent from the following examples. While the individual active substances as well as combinations of the two corresponding substances have weaknesses in the fungicidal effects, combinations of the three active substances show an effect which exceeds a simple sum of the effects and also the effect of the known combinations with a synergistic effect.

The synergistic effect of fungicides always lies in the fact that the fungicidal effect of the active substance combination is higher than the sum of the effect of the individually applied active substances.
