Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of corn gray spot disease control technology, specifically relating to a bactericidal composition for controlling corn gray spot disease. Background Technology
[0002] The later stages of corn growth are a period of high incidence and prevalence of diseases, especially stalk rot and gray leaf spot. Gray leaf spot is one of the most significant diseases affecting corn in my country's corn-producing areas, and it can be caused by *Cercospora zeylanica* (…). Cerospora zeae-maydis Tehon & Daniels) and Cercospora cornica ( Cercospora zeina This disease is caused by infections such as [insects]. In actual production, breeding disease-resistant varieties is the most effective way to control corn gray leaf spot. However, due to the scarcity of disease-resistant resources and the difficulty in planting disease-resistant varieties across the board, chemical control is a fast and effective method. However, single-agent pesticides can easily cause pathogens to develop resistance. Therefore, screening compound formulations that have a synergistic effect against corn gray leaf spot is of great significance.
[0003] L-carvone, CAS: 6485-40-1, molecular formula: C 10 H 14 O, the structural formula is as follows:
[0004] L-carvone is a pale yellow, clear liquid that is poorly soluble in water. It is the main component of the volatile oil extracted from spearmint, a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the genus *Mentha* of the Lamiaceae family. Existing technologies have reported that L-carvone exhibits antifungal activity against various plant pathogenic fungi, suggesting its potential for development into crop fungicides.
[0005] Currently, there are no reports of combining L-carvone with fenbendazole or fenbendazole.
[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A bactericidal composition, wherein the active ingredient of the bactericidal composition is a compound of levamisole and fenbendazole or fenbendazole.
[0009] Preferably, the mass ratio of L-carvone to triamcinolone is 1-20:5-1.
[0010] For even better results, the mass ratio of L-carvone to triamcinolone is 1:5.
[0011] Preferably, the mass ratio of L-carvone to phenolic ketone is 1-30:30-1.
[0012] For even better results, the mass ratio of L-carvone to phenolic ketone is 30:1.
[0013] The present invention also provides the application of the bactericidal composition in the prevention or control of gray spot disease in corn.
[0014] Specifically, the pathogen causing the gray spot disease in corn is *Cercospora zeatans*.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention screens existing agents by combining levonorgestrel with carvone and finds that when it is combined with triamcinolone or fenbendazole in a certain mass ratio, the compound formulation exhibits a synergistic effect on the growth of the corn gray spot pathogen, which can improve the control effect and provide support for the development of fungicides for the control of corn gray spot.

[0019] 3. Test reagents 99% carvone technical grade, 95% fenbendazole technical grade, and 98% fenpropathrin technical grade are all commercially available.
[0020] After dissolving the test reagent, multiple ratios were set up. Five series of mass concentration gradients were set up for each single agent and each group of mixed reagents according to the equal ratio method, and then set up for use.
[0021] 4. Prepare spore suspension The tested strain was inoculated onto MLPCA agar plates and cultured at 26°C for 5 days. The conidia that had grown on the medium were washed off with 1% Tween 20 solution, and then diluted with sterile water to prepare a 1.0 × 10⁻⁶ m³ / g plate. 5 A spore suspension of 1 spore / mL is prepared for later use.
[0022] 4. Test Methods The virulence of single-agent stock solutions and multi-agent mixtures against the tested strain *Cercospora zeylans* was determined using the filter paper disc method.
[0023] Take 100 μL of spore suspension and spread it evenly on the surface of cooled MLPCA agar plates (9 cm in diameter). Punch 5 mm diameter filter paper discs, add 10 μL of the drug solution to each disc, and place them in the center of each MLPCA agar plate. Place one filter paper disc on each plate, with a filter paper disc containing an equal volume of sterile water serving as a blank control. Each treatment is repeated 5 times. Incubate in the dark at 26℃ for 7 days. Measure the diameter of the inhibition zone using the cross-hatching method and calculate the inhibition rate.
