Abstract
Described herein are fungicidal compositions and methods of controlling and/or suppressing phytopathogenic fungi and fungus-like pathogens and maintaining crop health. Particularly described are fungicidal compositions and methods of controlling the phytopathogenic fungi and the Aphanomyces fungus-like pathogen and maintaining crop health in crops susceptible to infection.
Claims9
A method of controlling the growth of Aphanomyces sp. in crop plants, the said method comprising:
- contacting or applying to foliage, a seed, or a locus of the crop plants an effective amount of a fungicidal combination comprising:
- (a) ipconazole,
- (b) metalaxyl or a salt thereof, and
- (c) carboxin,
- wherein the ipconazole, metalaxyl and carboxin are admixed in a weight ratio of (1-80):(1-80):(1-80), respectively, and
- wherein the ipconazole, metalaxyl and carboxin are the only fungicides applied.
A method of improving plant health in crop plants susceptible to Aphanomyces sp. comprising:
- contacting or applying to foliage, a seed, or a locus of the crop plants an effective amount of a fungicidal combination comprising:
- (a) ipconazole,
- (b) metalaxyl or a salt thereof, and
- (c) carboxin,
- wherein the ipconazole, metalaxyl and carboxin are admixed in a weight ratio of (1-80):(1-80):(1-80), respectively,
- wherein the ipconazole, metalaxyl and carboxin are the only fungicides applied;
- and
- wherein the effective amount of the fungicidal combination increases crop yield of legumes in Aphanomyces sp. infested soils.
A method of controlling the growth of Aphanomyces sp. in legumes, the method comprising:
- contacting or applying to foliage, a seed, or a locus of the legumes an effective amount of a fungicidal combination comprising:
- (a) ipconazole,
- (b) metalaxyl or a salt thereof, and
- (c) carboxin,
- wherein the ipconazole, metalaxyl and carboxin are admixed in a weight ratio of (1-5):(1-15):(20-40), respectively,
- wherein the ipconazole, metalaxyl and carboxin are the only fungicides applied;
- and
- wherein the effective amount of the fungicidal combination reduces Aphanomyces sp. growth.
