## Abstract

The present invention can provide a method having superior safety for protecting determinate soybean from damage by a plant pathogen. The method includes a step of applying mefentrifluconazole to foliage of determinate soybean, seeds of determinate soybean or a soil of the cultivation area of determinate soybean, wherein the application rate of mefentrifluconazole is 20 to 500 g per hectare of cultivation area.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of protecting determinate soybean from damage by a plant pathogen in a cultivation area of determinate soybean without causing injury on the determinate soybean, the method comprising a step of applying mefentrifluconazole to seeds of determinate soybean, wherein the application rate of mefentrifluconazole is approximately 0.01 to 0.2 mg per seed of the determinate soybean,
wherein the determinate soybean is not bred to be tolerant to mefentrifluconazole transgenically or non-transgenically.
