Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of pesticide technology, specifically relating to the application of carbonyl compounds or derivatives of carbonyl compounds in the control of pathogens. Background Technology

[0002] my country is the origin of soybeans and has a long history of cultivation, with Northeast China being the main soybean producing area. During soybean cultivation, with the accumulation of continuous cropping years and increased land use, soybean diseases and pests have become increasingly severe, causing significant losses to the soybean industry. Soybean root rot, a common disease in the field, can generally cause a 30% yield reduction, and in severe cases, can lead to complete crop failure. Soybean gray spot disease affects the appearance of soybeans and reduces germination rate, lowering oil content by 2.9% and protein content by 1.2%. The complex infection of soybean diseases in the field is very serious, and the degree of damage is increasing, making prevention extremely difficult. Therefore, it is crucial to develop targeted control methods for soybean diseases to actively improve soybean yield and quality.

[0003] Soybean diseases are rarely caused by a single factor, and the diseases occurring at different stages of soybean growth vary. Among them, *Alternaria*, *Fusarium trifidum*, and *Fusarium solani* are all pathogens that can cause fungal diseases in soybeans. Therefore, finding substances that can inhibit the growth of multiple pathogens is imperative. Summary of the Invention
