Methods of controlling or preventing infestation of plants by the phytopathogenic microorganism corynespora cassiicola

An agricultural chemical formulation for use in controlling or preventing infestation of plants by the phytopathogenic microorganisms Corynespora cassiicola, comprising applying to the phytopathogen, to the locus of the phytopathogen, or to a plant susceptible to attack by the phytopathogen, or to a propagation material thereof, comprising a fungicidally effective amount of a compound (A) according to formula (I)

• wherein R is C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkoxy or C3-C6 cycloalkyl, and X is CH or N, or N-oxides and or agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, in a biocidally effective amount, N-oxide or agriculturally acceptable salts thereof as a first active ingredient, and as the at least one or more compound(s) (B) other biologically active agents, such as bactericides, fungicides, nematicides, plant activators, acaricides, and insecticides, one or more adjuvant(s), and a diluent or carrier.

A use of a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I), N-oxide or the agriculturally acceptable salts thereof, of a composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of a compound of formula (I), N-oxide or the agriculturally acceptable salts thereof as active ingredient component (A);

• and, optionally, as component (B) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of flufenoxadiazam, metarylpicoxamid, ethyl 1-[[4-[[2-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl]methoxy]phenyl]methyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate and ethyl 1-[[4-[[(1Z)-2-ethoxy-3,3,3-trifluoro-1-propen-1-yl]oxy]phenyl]methyl]-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylate, or combinations thereof, for controlling or preventing infestation of plants by the phytopathogenic microorganism Corynespora cassiicola.
