A salt of a substituted methyl-methoxybenzoylpyridine compound

Abstract

The present invention relates to a fungicide containing a novel salt of a benzoylpyridine compound. The present invention provides a fungicide containing a salt of a benzoylpyridine compound represented by the formula (I) as annexed wherein X is a halogen atom, a nitro group, a substitutable alkoxy group, a substitutable aryloxy group, a substitutable cycloalkoxy group, a hydroxyl group, a substitutable hydrocarbon group, a substitutable alkylthio group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group which may be esterified or amidated, or a substitutable arnino group; n is 1,2, 3 or 4,- R 1 is a substitutable alkyl group; R2 is a substitutable alkyl group, a substitutable alkoxy group, a substitutable aryloxy group, a substitutable cycloalkoxy group or a hydroxyl group; and m is 1, 2, 3 or 4,
