Synergistic fungicidal mixtures for fungal control in cereals

Abstract

A fungicidal composition containing a fungicidally effective amount of (a) the compound of Formula I, (3S,6S,7R,8R)-8-benzyl-3-(3-((isobutyryloxy)methoxy)-4-methoxypicolinamido)-6-methyl-4,9-dioxo-1,5-dioxonan-7-yl isobutyrate, and (b) fluxapyroxad, provides synergistic control of selected fungi.

Description

[0001] Cross-references to related applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 747,094, filed December 28, 2012, which is expressly incorporated by reference. Technical field [0003] The present invention relates to synergistic fungicidal compositions comprising (a) a compound of formula I and (b) fluxapyroxad. Background technique [0004] Fungicides are compounds of natural or synthetic origin that are used to protect plants from damage caused by fungi. Current agricultural methods rely heavily on the use of fungicides. In fact, some crops cannot be grown effectively without the use of fungicides. The use of fungicides allows growers to increase yields and crop quality, and thereby increase the value of the crop. In most cases, the increase in crop value is at least three times the cost of fungicide application. [0005] However, no one fungicide is useful in all situations, and repeated use of a sing...
