Abstract
Described herein are fungicidal compositions in the form of an emulsifiable concentrates that include a first fungicidal compound, optionally, at least one additional fungicidal compound, two or more surfactants and a water immiscible organic solvent comprised of a mixture of organic compounds including at least one acetate ester and at least one N,N-dialkylcarboxamide. The compositions are homogeneous, stable upon storage, and upon dilution in water form stable emulsions that can be sprayed onto plants to control important fungal diseases.
