AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention provides a fungicidal composition that includes anhydrous milk fat (AMF) and optionally one or more of soybean oil, olive oil, and coconut fat, as well as an emulsifier, antioxidant, and carrier. The composition can be in the form of an aqueous or liquid concentrate and can be used to effectively kill fungi. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a more effective and efficient fungicidal composition that can be used in agricultural settings to protect crops from disease.

Problems solved by technology

The ubiquitous disease creates considerable problems because it reduces the photosynthetic area of leaves, which in turn diminishes yield (50-100% in the absence of control) and product quality.
Serious limitations with existing controls, namely DMI (demethylation-inhibiting) fungicide resistance, restrictions on the use of sulphur and sodium bicarbonate in organic systems, the lack of eradicant activity, and the lack efficacious organic alternatives, drive the need to find new control alternatives.
Problems associated with using whole- or skim-milk products as fungicides include milk spoilage, development of unpleasant odours, handling difficulties, application problems, poor durability of control, and unwanted growth of other non-target organisms, e.g. sooty mould.
Fungicides containing free fatty acids and / or plant or animal oils / fats can be expensive, clog agricultural spray equipment, provide only variable disease control, have phyto-toxic effects and may be restricted products in organic systems.

Materials and Methods

[0232]Squash (Cucurbita maxima) cv ‘Delica’ and Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) cv ‘Black Jack’ were potted in 80% bark 20% pumice media, were maintained for 8 weeks in glasshouses, with temperature ranging from 15° C. (night) to 25° C. (day), and a natural photo-period. Plants were watered twice daily for 3 min intervals using drip-feed irrigation. The media contained a complex mix of fertilisers (2 kg / m3 dolomite, 1 kg / m3 gypsum, 1 kg / m3 hydraflo, 2 kg / m3 lime, 5 kg / m3 Osmocote Plus, 1.5 kg / m3 Osmoform Pre-mix, 1 kg / m3 Super). Flowers, fruit and secondary shoots were removed throughout the course of the experiments, as were growing tips once the plants had reached an adequate size (11+ true leaves). Squash plants were trained up taut strings suspended from the glasshouse roof.

[0233]Plants were randomly assigned to treatment groups (8 replicates per group) with one replicate plant from each treatment being randomly positioned on a separate table (block) in the...

Abstract

The present invention relates to fungicidal compositions and particularly fungicidal compositions comprising anhydrous milk fat (AMF), soybean oil and / or coconut fat. The invention also relates to a fungicidal method employing a composition of the invention. The compositions and methods of the invention have applications in the management (prevention and control) of fungal growth in commercial and small scale crop production.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to fungicidal compositions and particularly fungicidal compositions comprising anhydrous milk fat (AMF), soybean oil and / or coconut fat. The invention also relates to a fungicidal method employing a composition of the invention.BACKGROUND[0002]Powdery mildew (PM) is one of the most serious global diseases of cucurbit, apple, rose, grape and cereal crops. The ubiquitous disease creates considerable problems because it reduces the photosynthetic area of leaves, which in turn diminishes yield (50-100% in the absence of control) and product quality.[0003]Worldwide costs associated with this disease are estimated by Dow AgroSciences to exceed US$100 million. Serious limitations with existing controls, namely DMI (demethylation-inhibiting) fungicide resistance, restrictions on the use of sulphur and sodium bicarbonate in organic systems, the lack of eradicant activity, and the lack efficacious organic alternatives, drive the need t...
