Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid preparation comprising at least one carboxylic ester as defined and fungal spores and a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi, insects and/or nematodes in or on a plant, for enhancing growth of a plant or for increasing plant yield or root health comprising applying an effective amount of the liquid preparation or the liquid composition according to the invention to said plant or to a locus where plants are growing or intended to be grown.
Claims35
A liquid preparation comprising at least one carboxylic ester composed of a carboxylic acid moiety and an alcohol moiety
- wherein said carboxylic ester is not a carboxylic acid triglyceride from vegetable oils, and fungal spores of a fungus exerting a beneficial effect on plants,
- wherein said at least one carboxylic ester contains
- a) a carboxylic monoacid moiety and a monoalcohol moiety
- b) at least one carboxylic monoacid moiety and a polyalcohol moiety or
- c) a carboxylic polyacid moiety and at least one monoalcohol moiety;
- wherein said monoalcohol moiety is a branched, linear, cyclic, acyclic or partially cyclic, saturated or partially unsaturated C1-C24 monoalcohol moiety;
- wherein said carboxylic monoacid moiety is a branched, linear, cyclic, acyclic or partially cyclic, saturated or partially unsaturated C2-C24 carboxylic monoacid moiety, optionally carrying at least one OH functionality;
- wherein said polyalcohol moiety is a branched, linear, cyclic, acyclic or partially cyclic, saturated or partially unsaturated di-, tri-, tetra-, penta- or hexavalent C2-C20 polyalcohol moiety;
- and
- wherein said carboxylic polyacid moiety is a branched, linear, cyclic, acyclic or partially cyclic, saturated or partially unsaturated C2-C20 carboxylic polyacid moiety.
