[0001] FUNGICIDAL MIXTURE COMBINATION COMPRISING SULPHUR
[0002] RELATED APPLICATION / S
[0003] This application claims benefits of US Provisional Application No. 63 / 538,295 filed on September 14, 2023; the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. Throughout this application, various publications are cited. Disclosures of the documents and publications referred to herein are hereby incorporated in their entireties by references into this application.
[0004] FIELD OF INVENTION
[0005] The present invention relates to mixture combinations of active compounds comprising an effective amount of sulphur; an effective amount of at least one fungicide or its salt, and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient, for combatting or preventing fungal diseases of crop plants. A method for controlling or preventing fungal diseases in crop plants is also disclosed.
[0006] BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
[0007] Elemental sulphur as a potent pesticide is well known for ages. Sulphur is available primarily in its elemental form and formulations namely granules, pellets, powders, and so on are known for providing sulphur in a form for use as a fertilizer or a pesticide. Sulphur not only works as a fungicide but is also used as a supplementary plant nutrient. Furthermore, bio-sulfur fungicide is also widely known which is derived from agricultural sources. The said bio-sulphur is made by bacteria that turns hydrogen sulfide, which is a by-product of biogas production, into elemental sulfur. The origin of the process being farm waste, this organic sulphur has a different chemical structure and a smaller particle size, which makes it more effective than conventional sulphur. The formulation of sulphur alone is considered moderately effective against various fungal diseases such as powdery mildew or grey mildew.
[0008] The vulnerability of crops to fungal diseases makes fungal disease management one of the major components of the total crop production system. Various fungi are very harmful to crop plants and can significantly reduce crop yields and qualities. Actives like Sulphur or other Fungicides are compounds of natural or synthetic origin which act to protect plants against damage caused by fungi. In spite of the benefits derived from the use of fungicides in agriculture such as protection of crops and improved productivity, it is nowadays desirable to reduce the amount of fungicides used in the fields owing to the potential health risks associated with an intensive use of agrochemicals. Furthermore, repeated usage of a single fungicide often leads to the development of resistance to a specific or a group of fungicides.
[0009] The biological properties of known compounds are not entirely satisfactory in the areas of plant disease control, environmental and worker exposure, for example in particular, it has been observed that pathogens become, resistant to pesticides, which are at times administered in higher dosages to achieve the desired control, thereby leading to soil toxicity and other environmental hazards, besides higher costs. Another important issue associated with fungus attacks is the loss of nutrients which leads to a decrease in the overall yield of the crop.
[0010] Combinations of fungicides or mixture of one or more fungicides with other crop protection chemical are typically used to broaden spectrum of control, to minimize the doses of chemicals used, to retard resistance development and to reduce the cost of the treatment through additive effect. Although many combinations of one fungicidal agent with one or more crop protection chemicals have been studied, a synergistic effect is rarely attained.
[0011] There are some literatures available on fungicidal mixture comprising sulphur. EP2667720 discloses pesticidal composition comprising sulphur, a fungicide and an agrochemical excipient. Ene et al. (Stiinte Agricole Si Silvice, 23, 1990, p.285-293 ) relates to the use of Ziram instead of macozeb in fungicide mixtures against wheat leaf diseases at high concentrations or in association with sulphur. FR2585539 relates to a new combination fungicide comprising cymoxanil and wettable sulphur. Pauwels et al. (Mededelingen Van De Faculteit Landbouwwetenschappen, 31, 2, 1976, p. 687-682) relates to the control of cereal diseases with chlorothalonil and chlorothalonil, Maneb and sulphur.
[0012] Practical agricultural experience has shown that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual active compound such as sulphur in the control of fungi leads in many cases to a selection of those fungi which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Effective control of these fungi with the active compound in question is then no longer possible.
[0013] Thus there is a need for a selective mixture of sulphur with other fungicidal compound that help prevent or overcome resistance. In order to reduce the risk of fungi becoming resistant to certain active compounds, mixtures of different fungicidal chemicals are nowadays conventionally employed for controlling various fungi. By combining judiciously active compounds having different mechanisms of action, it is possible to ensure successful control over a relatively long period of time.
[0014] Active agent mixtures are described in the literature. However, the control over the fungi does not always satisfy the needs of agriculture practice. Additionally, the efficacy of mixtures is not entirely satisfactory in cases of fungi control and / or toxicological and / or environmental effects. Random pesticidal compositions and mixtures do not exert a satisfactory controlling effect in most of the cases, and therefore, there is an urgent need for development of new pesticidal mixtures with one more crop protection chemical having some satisfactory controlling effects.
[0015] It is an object of the present invention to provide mixtures and compositions of judiciously selected crop protection chemicals which, when applied at a reduced total amount of active compounds, have improved activity against the harmful fungi. It is an object of the present invention to provide a broadened activity spectrum with prolonged control. It is a further object of the present invention to provide mixtures and compositions comprising sulphur which provide effective resistance management and fungi control, at application rates which are as low as possible.
[0016] It is an endeavor of the present invention to find that mixtures comprising sulphur and at least one further crop protection chemical are synergistically effective, being applied simultaneously, that is jointly or separately, or in succession, allows better control of fungi than is possible with the individual compounds alone, providing synergistic results and solving at least one of the challenges in the prior art by reducing the dosage rate or enhancing the spectrum of activity with prolonged control or facilitating resistance management.
[0017] It is further endeavor of the present invention to find that kind of mixtures of sulphur which also act as miticides along with insecticides with more efficiencies compared to each component of the mixtures, respectively. It is an object of the present invention to provide repellant activities against pests and also to result in higher yield of the crops.
[0018] In light of the above, there is endeavor in the present invention for a fungicidal mixture combination of crop protection chemicals comprising sulphur that exhibit synergistically enhanced action, a broader scope of activity, reduced dosage of treatment and increased yield of crops.

[0574] Other representative experiments may also be carried out to determine the synergistic effect or other improved biological effects of the mixture combination which comprises a mixture of i) an effective amount of a sulphur and ii) an effective amount of at least one fungicide selected from the groups consisting of Cyflufenamid, Laminarin, Chitosan, Trimethyl glycine from beet extract, plant extract from Melaleuca alternifolia, Eugenol, Geraniol, Thymol, terpene hydrocarbons, terpene alcohol, terpene phenols, cotyledons of lupine plantlets comprising polypeptides, Seaweed extracts which are derived from the extraction of macroalgae species, plant extract fungicide extracted from Swinglea glutinosa, Fenpropidin, Fenpropimorph, Spiroxamine, Oxathiapiprolin, Fluoxapiprolin, 5-fluoro-4-imino-3-methyl-l-[(4- methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(lH)-one, Bupirimate, Fenpicoxamid, Florylpicoxamid, Cyazofamid, Amisulbrom, Azoxystrobin, Picoxistrobin, Pyraclostrobin, Metyltetraprole, Isofetamid, Fluopyram, Pyrapropoyne, Picarbutrazox, Zoxamide, Fluopicolide, Fluopimomide, Metrafenone, Pyriofenone, Cyprodinil, Pyrimethanil, Quinoxyfen, Proquinazid, Fenhexamid, Fenpyrazamine, Dodine, Folpet, Captan, Dithianon, Mefentrifluconazole, Ipfentrifluconazole, Tricyclazole, Flutianil, Aminopyrifen, Quinofumelin, Ipflufenoquin, Tebufloquin, Fludioxonil, Pyridachlometyl, Acibenzolar-S-methyl, Isotianil, Dichlobentiazox, Bacillus, Lactococcus and Saccharomyces, and also their agrochemically acceptable additives.
[0575] In a representative example, a mixture combination may be prepared by thoroughly mixing sulphur (weight %) with Cyflufenamid (weight %). Also, in a separate experiment, mixture combination may be prepared by thoroughly mixing sulphur (weight %) with Laminarin (weight %). In another experiment, mixture combination may be prepared by thoroughly mixing sulphur (weight %) with Chitosan (weight %).
[0576] Different concentrations of each of the active ingredients may be applied to different fungi. The percent control may be determined sometime after treatment. The observed percent control of the fungicidal composition against the different species of fungi is expected to be higher than the expected percentage control according to Colby's equation. Therefore, the mixture combination comprising sulphur (weight %) and a fungicide such as Cyflufenamid, Laminarin and Chitosan (weight %) is expected to show synergistic effect against the different species of fungi.
[0577] A synergistic effect exists whenever the action of an active ingredient combination is greater than the sum of the actions of the individual components.
[0578] In the field of agriculture, it is often understood that the term "synergy" is as defined by Colby S. R. in an article entitled "Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations" published in the journal Weeds, 1967, 15, p. 20-22. The action expected for a given combination of two active components can be calculated as follows:
[0579] E = X + Y - XY / 100 in which E represents the expected effect, e.g. percentage of fungi control, for the combination of the active ingredients at defined doses (for example equal to x and y respectively), X is the effect, e.g. percentage of pest control, observed for compound (I) at a defined dose (equal to x), Y is the effect, e.g. percentage of fungi control, observed for compound (II) at a defined dose (equal to y). Here, efficacy or percent inhibition is determined in %. 0% means efficacy that corresponds to the Control, i.e., as if no treatment had been applied. Whereas, a percent inhibition of 100% means that complete control is observed. When the percent control observed for the combination is greater than E, there is a synergistic effect. When the percent control observed for the combination is equal to E, there is an additive effect and wherein the percent control observed for the combination is lower than E, there is an antagonistic effect.
[0580] In some embodiments, the mixture is synergistic for enhancing crop plant. In some embodiments, the mixture is synergistic for enhancing plant development. In some other embodiments, the mixture is synergistic for enhancing root system. In some embodiments, the mixture is synergistic for improving plant quality. In some embodiments, the mixture is synergistic for regulating plant growth. In some embodiments, the mixture is synergistic for controlling different species of fungi.
[0581] While the present disclosure of the invention may be susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been described by way of example in detail herein. However, it is understood that the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the present disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the following claims and their legal equivalents.
