Abstract
Provided are methods for reducing the occurrence of sudden death syndrome in plants, such as soybeans, using compounds of the general formula (I).
Claims18
A method for reducing the presence of sudden death syndrome caused by Fusarium spp. in soybean not subject to nematode pressure, comprising applying an effective amount of a composition comprising fluopyram to a soybean seed, soybean plant, to soil in which a soybean plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow, to soybean roots, or to combinations thereof, wherein the soybean seed, plant, and root are not under nematode pressure, wherein the presence of sudden death syndrome in the soybean is reduced.
A method for reducing the presence of phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium virguliforme or Fusarium tucumaniae, in soybean not subject to nematode pressure, comprising applying an effective amount of a composition comprising a fluopyram to a soybean seed, soybean plant, to soil in which a soybean plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow, to soybean plant roots, or to combinations thereof, wherein the soybean seed, plant, and root are not under nematode pressure to thereby reduce the presence of the phytopathogenic fungi in the soybean.
A method for reducing the presence of phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium virguliforme or Fusarium tucumaniae, in soybean not subject to nematode pressure, comprising applying an effective amount of a composition comprising fluopyram to a soybean seed, soybean plant, to soil in which a soybean plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow, to soybean plant roots, or to combinations thereof, wherein the soybean seed, plant, and root are not under nematode pressure, to reduce the presence of the phytopathogenic fungi in the soybean, wherein the Fusarium virguliforme and/or the Fusarium tucumaniae is present in the soybean seed, soybean plant, soybean plant roots, and/or soil in which a soybean plant is growing or in which it is desired to be grown.
A method for reducing the presence of phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium virguliforme or Fusarium tucumaniae, in soybean not subject to nematode pressure, comprising applying an effective amount of a composition comprising fluopyram to a soybean seed, soybean plant, to soil in which a soybean plant is growing or in which it is desired to grow, to soybean plant roots, or to combinations thereof;
- wherein the soybean seed, plant, and root are not under nematode pressure, to reduce the presence of the phytopathogenic fungi in the soybean, wherein reducing the presence comprises reducing disease severity, reducing disease incidence, reducing mean defoliation, and/or increasing yield compared to soybean seed, soybean plants, or soybean plant roots not treated with fluopyram.
