Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the use of N-methoxy(phenylethyl)-pyrazolecarboxamides for the control or suppression of plant pathogens, and compositions comprising such compounds. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (pydiflumetofen) for the control or suppression of plant pathogens, and compositions comprising such compounds. [Background technology]

[0002] Bacterial plant diseases caused by plant pathogens are of major concern to growers worldwide; they cause hormonal imbalances in the infected plants, which can lead to problems such as stunting, overgrowth, galling, root branching, defoliation, resetting, necrosis, tissue dissociation, wilting, reduced photosynthetic area, hyperplasia, and epiphytic leaf growth. These problems alter the nutrient levels of the affected plants at both qualitative and quantitative levels; and have adverse effects on the global food supply and economy. See Kannan et al., "Sustainable Approaches to Controlling Plant Pathogenic Bacteria".

[0003] Plant pathogens can be easily spread by several means, including water, wind, insects, animals, human activity, agricultural and tillage machinery (especially during the vegetative propagation of plants in seedbeds), and also through the soil.

[0004] The control or suppression of plant pathogens is mainly achieved by the prevention and elimination of plant pathogens. Currently, there are limited solutions for controlling or suppressing the activity of plant pathogens on plants. The main chemical controls include the use of copper-based products (often residual), agricultural antibiotics, and resistance inducers such as acibenzolar-S-methyl. Some fungicides used to control fungal diseases can have a suppressive effect on the disease even if they do not act directly on the plant pathogen. For example, some strobilurin fungicides can have a tonic effect on the plant and can induce a defense response (however, they often require multiple applications), but do not act directly on the plant pathogen itself. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The compound 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (pydiflumetofen), described in WO 2010 / 063700, is a broad-spectrum foliar fungicide and the first example of a new group of N-methoxy-(phenylethyl)-pyrazole-carboxamides of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) class. The present invention is based on the surprising discovery that 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide also exhibits antibacterial activity and inhibitory effect, and can therefore now be used in the fight against plant pathogens and thus in the fight against plant bacterial diseases.

[0006] Thus, in a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for controlling or suppressing phytopathogenic fungi on a useful plant, comprising applying to the plant, plant part or locus thereof an effective amount of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.

[0007] In another aspect, there is provided a method for controlling or suppressing plant pathogens on a useful plant, the method comprising applying to the plant, plant part, or locus thereof an effective amount of a composition comprising 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.

[0008] In a further aspect, there is provided the use of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, or an agrochemically acceptable salt, isomer, stereoisomer, diastereoisomer, enantiomer or tautomer thereof, for controlling a plant bacterial disease.

Also, if long-term effectiveness is intended, conventional sustained release formulations can be utilized. In particular, formulations applied in spray form, such as water-dispersible concentrates (e.g., EC, SC, DC, OD, SE, EW, EO, and the like), wettable powders, and granules, can contain surfactants (e.g., wetting agents and dispersants), as well as other compounds that provide adjuvant activity effects (e.g., formaldehyde, naphthenesulfonates, alkylarylsulfonates, ligninsulfonates, fatty alkyl sulfates, and condensation products of ethoxylated alkylphenols and ethoxylated fatty alcohols).

[0039] In general, the formulations contain 0.01 to 90% by weight of active agent, 0 to 20% of agriculturally acceptable surfactants, and 10 to 99.99% of solid or liquid formulation inactive substances and adjuvants, the active agent comprising at least 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, together with components (B) and (C), and optionally other active agents, in particular microbicides or preservatives, or the like.

[0042] The invention will now be described with reference to the following examples, which are illustrative and in no way limit the scope of the invention, which demonstrate the ability of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (pydiflumetofen) to control or inhibit the effects of plant pathogens. EXAMPLES

[0043] Biological Examples Example 1 - Effect of pydiflumetofen on Xanthomonas perforans (tomato bacterial spot disease) The experiment was carried out in a greenhouse at the Olericulture Sector of the Federal University of Goias, where temperature and humidity are controlled. Tomato seedlings of the cultivar Totale with two true leaves were transplanted into 1 L pots containing commercial medium. Two days after transplanting, the first application of substances was carried out. Bion (acibenzolar-S-methyl, 25 g product / ha to 12.5 g ai / ha), Miravis (pydiflumetofen, 0.60 kg product / ha to 120 g ai / ha), Kocide (copper hydroxide, 1.50 kg product / ha) and Kasumin (kasugamycin, 2 L product / ha) were evaluated. An untreated control received only water. For application, the pots were placed on the bed and spraying was carried out using a spraying device (having 6 nozzles with a nozzle spacing of 0.5 m) equipped with a pressurized CO2 sprayer, with a spray volume of 300 L / ha.

[0044] Applications were performed on days 1, 7, and 14. On day 9 (between the second and third applications), inoculation with a Xanthomonas perforans isolate was performed. The plants were sprayed uniformly on all leaves with a suspension of this pathogen at a concentration of 107 colony forming units per milliliter (cfu / mL). Three assessments were performed at 6, 13, and 18 days after inoculation (DAI), and the percentage of damaged leaves (leaf area with bacterial spot) was calculated.

[0045] [Table 1]

[0046] The data in Table 1 show that pydiflumetofen provides good control of Xanthomonas perforans for up to 18 days after inoculation.

[0047] Example 2: Comparison of SDHI fungicides against Xanthomonas orycea / rice / prevention (rice bacterial spot disease) Three-week-old rice plants, cultivar Balilla, were treated with the formulated test compounds in a spray chamber. Two days after application, the rice plants were infected by cutting the upper part of the leaf and painting the bacterial suspension on the cut edge. After an incubation period of 14 days at 23° C. and 80% relative humidity, visual assessment of disease level was performed.

[0048] [Table 2]

[0049] The data in Table 2 show that pydiflumetofen provided good control of Xanthomonas orycea in the range of 20-60 mg ai / L, with marginal effectiveness at 6 mg ai / L. Other SDHI fungicides tested did not provide control or suppression of Xanthomonas orycea.

[0050] Example 3: Effect of pydiflumetofen on Xanthomonas campestris on zinnia Vegetatively mature Zinnia plants were treated with pydiflumetofen treatments via foliar spray (for Xanthomonas or Pseudomonas spp.). One to two days after treatment, the plants were sprayed with a bacterial suspension (1×108 cfu / mL, measured by spectrophotometer) and maintained at 100% relative humidity for 24 to 48 hours to promote infection. The plants were then maintained in a greenhouse or outdoor shade structure and disease incidence and severity were recorded, as well as plant health and fresh weight, if applicable.

[0051] [Table 3]

[0052] The data in Table 3 show that pydiflumetofen provides good control of Xanthomonas campestris.

[0053] Example 4. Effect of pydiflumetofen on Ralstonia spp. on geranium Vegetatively mature geranium plants were treated with pydiflumetofen treatment with a drench (Ralstonia spp.). One to two days after treatment, inoculum was applied as a soil drench. The plants were then maintained in a greenhouse or outdoor shade structure and disease incidence and severity was recorded.

[0054] [Table 4]

[0055] The data in Table 4 shows that pydiflumetofen provides control or suppression of Ralstonia spp.
