Description

[0001] This invention relates to the use of N-methoxy(phenylethyl)-pyrazole carboxamide for controlling or inhibiting plant pathogenic bacteria; and compositions comprising such compounds. In particular, this 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 (fluopyram) for controlling or inhibiting plant pathogenic bacteria; and compositions comprising such compounds.

[0002] Bacterial plant diseases caused by plant pathogenic bacteria are a major concern for growers worldwide. These diseases often lead to hormonal imbalances in infected plants, which can result in problems such as stunted growth, excessive growth, galls, root branching, leaf drop, resetting, necrosis, tissue infiltration, wilting, reduced photosynthetic area, malformed growth, and apical dominance. These problems alter the nutritional levels of affected plants both qualitatively and quantitatively; furthermore, they negatively impact global food supplies and the economy. See Kannan et al., “Sustainable Approaches to Controlling Plant Pathogenic Bacteria”.

[0003] Plant pathogenic bacteria can be easily spread through a variety of means, including water, wind, insects, animals, human activities, agricultural and farming equipment (especially during the vegetative propagation of plants in nurseries), and can also be spread through the soil.

[0004] Controlling or inhibiting plant pathogenic bacteria is primarily achieved through the prevention and elimination of plant pathogens. Currently, solutions for controlling or inhibiting the activity of plant pathogenic bacteria on plants are limited. Major chemical controls include copper-based products (which often leave residues), agricultural antibiotics, and the use of resistance inducers such as aramid-benzene-S-methyl. Some fungicides used to control fungal diseases can have inhibitory effects on the diseases, even if they do not have a direct effect on the plant pathogenic bacteria themselves. For example, some methoxyacrylate fungicides can have a beneficial effect on plants and induce a defensive response; however, these usually require multiple applications and do not have a direct effect on the plant pathogenic bacteria themselves.

[0005] Compound 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (fluopyram) 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 within the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) class. This invention is based on the unexpected 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 effects, and thus can now be used against plant pathogenic bacteria and therefore against plant bacterial diseases.

[0006] Therefore, in a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for controlling or inhibiting plant pathogenic bacteria on useful plants, the method comprising applying an effective amount of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide to a plant, a plant part or the site thereof.

[0007] On the other hand, a method for controlling or inhibiting plant pathogenic bacteria on useful plants is provided, the method comprising applying an effective amount of a composition comprising 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide to a plant, a plant part or the site thereof.

[0008] In another aspect, 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, diastereomer, enantiomer or tautomer thereof, for the control of bacterial diseases of plants is provided.

[0009] A method for controlling or inhibiting the effects of plant pathogenic bacteria on beneficial plants is also provided, the method comprising applying an effective amount of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide to a plant, a plant part or the site thereof.

[0010] Another method is provided for controlling or inhibiting the effects of plant pathogenic bacteria on beneficial plants, the method comprising applying an effective amount of a composition comprising 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide to a plant, a plant part or the site thereof.

Those skilled in the art will understand that 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide exists in two enantiomers: 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[(1R)-1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide and 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[(1S)-1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide. Both enantiomers can be used alone or as racemates to control or inhibit plant pathogenic bacteria.

Typically, when used for fungal control, 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide is applied to the beneficial plant by foliar application. However, for controlling plant pathogenic bacteria, the preferred method of application is direct application to the plant, the plant site (e.g., soil), or direct application to plant propagation material (e.g., to seeds).

[0034] In another embodiment, 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide is applied to plants, plant parts, or the site thereof in the form of a bactericidal formulation. This formulation may contain one or more other desired components, including but not limited to liquid diluents, binders acting as a matrix for compounds as described herein, fillers for protecting seeds, and plasticizers for improving the flexibility, adhesion, and / or spreadability of the coating.

[0035] Antibacterial formulations, such as compositions containing 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide and (if desired) solid or liquid adjuvants or monomers for encapsulating the compound, can be prepared in a known manner, typically by mixing and / or grinding the compound with a compensator (e.g., a solvent, a solid carrier, and optionally a surfactant compound).

[0036] Typical application rates are generally 1 to 2000 g of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide per hectare, particularly 10 to 1000 g / ha, preferably 10 to 800 g / ha, more preferably 20 to 600 g / ha, and most preferably 40 to 500 g / ha. Specifically, 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide is applied at a rate of 40 to 400 g of active ingredient per hectare. When used for seed treatment or as a leaching agent, a convenient application rate is from 1 mg to 50 g of active substance per kg of seeds, preferably from 10 mg to 30 g of active substance per kg of seeds, and more preferably from 10 mg to 1 g of active substance per kg of seeds.

[0037] The compositions of the present invention can be used in any conventional form, such as in the form of double-packaged powders for dry seed treatment (DS), emulsions for seed treatment (ES), flowable concentrates for seed treatment (FS), solutions for seed treatment (LS), water-dispersible powders for seed treatment (WS), capsule suspensions for seed treatment (CF), gels for seed treatment (GF), emulsion concentrates (EC), suspension concentrates (SC), suspension emulsions (SE), capsule suspensions (CS), water-dispersible particles (WG), emulsifiable particles (EG), water-in-oil emulsions (EO), oil-in-water emulsions (EW), microemulsions (ME), dispersible oil suspensions (OD), oil suspensions (OF), oil-soluble liquids (OL), soluble concentrates (SL), ultra-low volume suspensions (SU), ultra-low volume liquids (UL), technical grade (TK), dispersible concentrates (DC), wettable powders (WP), or any technically feasible formulations in combination with agriculturally acceptable adjuvants.

[0038] Such compositions can be produced in conventional ways, for example by mixing the active ingredient with appropriate formulation inert agents (diluents, solvents, fillers, and optionally other formulation components such as surfactants, biocides, antifreeze agents, adhesives, thickeners, and compounds that provide auxiliary effects). Conventional sustained-release formulations designed for long-term sustained efficacy can also be used. In particular, formulations intended for application in spray form, such as water-dispersible concentrates (e.g., EC, SC, DC, OD, SE, EW, EO, etc.), wettable powders, and granules, may contain surfactants such as wetting agents and dispersants, and other compounds that provide auxiliary effects, such as condensations of formaldehyde with naphthalene sulfonates, alkylaryl sulfonates, lignin sulfonates, fatty alkyl sulfates, and ethoxylated alkylphenols and ethoxylated fatty alcohols.

[0039] Typically, formulations comprise from 0.01% to 90% by weight of an active agent, from 0% to 20% of an agriculturally acceptable surfactant, and from 10% to 99.99% of a solid or liquid formulation inert agent and one or more adjuvants. The active agent is composed of at least 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide together with components (B) and (C), and optionally other active agents (particularly microbicides, preservatives, or the like). Concentrated forms of the composition typically contain between about 2% and 80% by weight of the active agent, preferably between about 5% and 70%. Application forms of the formulation may, for example, contain from 0.01% to 20% by weight of the active agent, preferably from 0.01% to 5% by weight. However, commercially available products are preferably formulated as concentrates, and end users will typically use diluted formulations.

[0040] 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide may be the sole active ingredient in the composition, or, where appropriate, it may be mixed with one or more other active ingredients (such as pest control agents, fungicides, synergists, herbicides, or plant growth regulators). In some cases, the additional active ingredients may produce unexpected synergistic activity.

[0042] The invention will now be described with reference to the following examples, which are illustrative and do not limit the scope of the invention in any way. The following examples demonstrate the ability of 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-methoxy-1-methyl-N-[1-methyl-2-(2,4,6-trichloro-phenyl)ethyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (fluopyramidal hydroxylamine) to control or inhibit the effects of plant pathogenic bacteria.

[0043] Biological examples

[0044] Example 1 - Effects of fluopyram on leaf spot (bacterial leaf spot of tomato)

[0045] The experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the Fruit Cultivation Department of the Federal University of Goiás. Temperature and humidity were controlled at this location. Tomato seedlings cv. Totalle with two true leaves were transplanted into 1L pots containing specialized growing medium. Two days after transplanting, the first application of the substances was performed. Bion (aranamic acid benzyl-S-methyl, 25g product / ha – 12.5g ai / ha), Miravis (fluopyram, 0.60kg product / ha – 120g ai / ha), Kocide (copper hydroxide, 1.50kg product / ha), and Kasumin (kasugamycin, 2L product / ha) were evaluated. The untreated control received only water. For application, the pots were placed on the ground and sprayed using a spraying device (with 6 nozzles spaced 0.5m apart) at a pressurized CO2 sprayer and a spray rate of 300L / ha.

[0046] Applications were made on days 1, 7, and 14. Inoculation with Xanthomonas perforatus isolate was performed on day 9 (between the second and third applications). All leaves of the plant were sprayed once with the pathogen suspension at a concentration of 10⁷ colony-forming units (cfu / mL). Assessments were performed three times post-inoculation at days 6, 13, and 18 (DAI), and the percentage of damaged leaves (area of ​​leaves with fungal plaque) was calculated.

[0047] Table 1. Damaged leaf area (%) observed in tomato plants inoculated with Xanthomonas perforatus at 6, 13 and 18 days (DAI) after inoculation.

[0048]

[0049] The data in Table 1 show that fluopyram provided good control of Xanthomonas perforatum up to 18 days after inoculation.

[0050] Example 2: Comparison of SDHI fungicide in the prevention of Xanthomonas oryzae (rice bacterial blight)

[0051] Three-week-old rice plants, cv. Balilla, were treated with the prepared test compound in a spray chamber. Two days after application, the rice plants were infected by cutting open the upper leaves and applying the bacterial suspension to the edges of the cut. After a 14-day incubation period at 23°C and 80% relative humidity, the disease level was visually assessed.

[0052] Table 2. Comparison of SDHI fungicides in the prevention of Xanthomonas rice / rice / fungi.

[0053]

[0054] The data in Table 2 show that fluopyram provided good control of Xanthomonas oryzae in the range of 20 to 60 mg ai / L, with little effect at 6 mg ai / L. Other SDHI fungicides tested did not provide control or inhibition of Xanthomonas oryzae.

[0055] Example 3: Effects of fluopyram on Xanthomonas aeruginosa on Zinnia elegans

[0056] Treat asexually propagated zinnia plants with fluopyram (targeting Xanthomonas or Pseudomonas) via foliar spraying. One to two days after treatment, mist the plants with a bacterial suspension (1 x 10⁸ CFU / mL, determined by spectrophotometry) and maintain at 100% relative humidity for 24 to 48 hours to promote infection. Then, keep the plants in a greenhouse or in a shady outdoor location and record the incidence and severity of disease, as well as plant health and fresh weight (if applicable).

[0057] Table 3. Effects of fluopyram on Xanthomonas aeruginosa on Zinnia elegans

[0058]

[0059] *Number of days after processing

[0060] The data in Table 3 show that fluopyram provides good control of Xanthomonas campestris.

[0061] Example 4. Effects of fluopyram on Larstonia spp. on Geranium.

[0062] Asexually propagated Geranium plants (Ralstonia) were treated by soaking in fluopyram. One to two days after treatment, the inoculum was treated by soil soaking. The plants were then kept in a greenhouse or in a shady outdoor location, and the incidence and severity of disease were recorded.

[0063] Table 4. Effects of fluopyram on Larstonia spp. on Geranium.

[0064]

[0065] It is an organic biological fungicide containing Bacillus subtilis as its active ingredient.

[0066] The data in Table 4 show that fluopyram provides control or inhibition against Larstonia spp.
