Abstract
A combination of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole with an antimicrobial agent has good agricultural fungicidal activity which lasts longer than 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole alone. The dihydrate of the calcium salt of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole has advantages over the free 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole, other salts and the anhydrous compound.
Claims8
A soil fungicidal composition consisting essentially of (a) an effective fungicidal amount of a fungicide selected from the group consisting of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole and a salt of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole, in admixture with or in association with (b) an effective antimicrobial amount of an antimicrobial agent, said antimicrobial agent being 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, (c) a carrier and (d) optionally a plant or soil treatment auxiliary agent.
A method of protecting crops, or other plants, soil or other agricultural media from fungal attack by applying to plants, parts of plants, soil or water, which is applied thereof, or to a locus thereof, a composition consisting essentially of (a) an effective fungicidal amount of a fungicide selected from the group consisting of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole and a salt of 3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole, in admixture with or in association with (b) an effective antimicrobial amount of an antimicrobial agent, said antimicrobial agent being 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, (c) a carrier and (d) optionally a plant or soil treatment auxiliary agent.
