Abstract
Mixtures of methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate with tetramethylthiuramdisulfide, tetraethylthiuramdisulfide or zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate provide good control of many plant pathogenic fungi. These mixtures also prevent the selective multiplication of resistant strains of fungi in populations of fungi which are normally susceptible to control by methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate.
Claims5
A fungicidal composition comprising a fungicidally effective amount of a mixture of methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate and an additive selected from the group consisting of tetramethylthiuramdisulfide, tetraethylthiuramdisulfide and zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate, the ratio of methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate to the additive being from 1:1 to 1:20.
