Next, it will be shown by test examples that the compound of the present invention is useful in controlling plant diseases.


The control effect was evaluated by visually observing the area of lesions on a test plant on the investigation and comparing the area of lesions of a plant treated with the compound of the present invention with the area of lesions of a non-treated plant.


Test Example 1

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and rice (variety: Nipponbare) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 20 days. Thereafter, Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) and (1-16) were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, and diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (500 ppm), and then applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the rice. After spraying, the plants were air-dried, and the spray-treated rice and the rice seedling (variety: Nipponbare) affected by Magnaporthe grisea were left for 6 days while they were brought into contact with each other at 24° C. in the daytime and 20° C. at night under high humidity, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with either one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) and (1-16) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 2

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and wheat (variety: Shirogane) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 9 days. Thereafter, spores of wheat Puccinia recondita were inoculated by sprinkling them on the wheat. The wheat was placed at 23° C. under darkness and high humidity for 1 day, and then air-dried. Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) and (1-16) were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, then diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the wheat. After spraying, the plants were air-dried and further left under illumination for 7 days, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with either one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) and (1-16) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 3

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and wheat (variety: Shirogane) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 9 days. Compounds of Present Invention (1-2), (1-3) and (1-6) to (1-16) were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, then diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the wheat. After spraying, the plants were air-dried and grown under illumination at 18° C. for 5 days, and then spores of wheat Puccinia recondita were inoculated by sprinkling them on the wheat. After inoculating, the plants were placed at 23° C. under darkness and high humidity for 1 day, then grown under illumination at 18° C. for 8 days, and the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with any one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-2), (1-3) and (1-6) to (1-16) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 4

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and cucumber (variety: Sagamihanjiro) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 12 days. Compounds of Present Invention 1, 2 and 16 were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, then diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the cucumber. After spraying, the plants were air-dried, and spores of cucumber Sphaerotheca fuliginea were inoculated by sprinkling them. The plants were grown in a greenhouse at 24° C. in the daytime and 20° C. at night for 11 days, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with any one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-1), (1-2) and (1-16) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 5

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and wheat (variety: Apogee) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 10 days. Compounds of Present Invention (1-8), (1-11), (1-12), (1-14) and (1-15) were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, then diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the wheat. After spraying, the plants were air-dried, and after 4 days, an aqueous suspension of spores of wheat Septoria tritici was inoculated by spraying it. After inoculating, the plants were placed at 18° C. under high humidity for 3 days and subsequently placed under illumination for 14 to 18 days, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with any one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-8), (1-11), (1-12), (1-14) and (1-15) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 6

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and barley (variety: Nishinohoshi) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 7 days. Compounds of Present Invention (1-12), (1-14) and (1-16) were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, then diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the barley. After spraying, the plants were air-dried, and after 2 days, an aqueous suspension of spores of barley Pyrenophora teres was inoculated by spraying it. After inoculating, the plants were placed in a greenhouse at 23° C. in the daytime and 20° C. at night under high humidity for 3 days, and subsequently grown in a greenhouse for 7 days, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with any one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-12), (1-14) and (1-16) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 7

As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with any one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) to (1-3) and (1-5) to (1-15) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Test Example 9

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and soybean (variety: Kurosengoku) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 13 days. Thereafter, an aqueous suspension of spores of soybean Phakopsora pachyrhizi was inoculated by spraying it on the soybean. The soybean was placed at 23° C. under high humidity for 1 day, and then air-dried. Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) to (1-15) were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, then diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the soybean. After spraying, the plants were air-dried, and further left under illumination for 14 days, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, the lesion area of the plants treated with any one of Compounds of Present Invention (1-1) to (1-15) was 30% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.


Comparative Test Example

A soil was filled into a plastic pot, and rice (variety: Nipponbare) was seeded therein, and grown in a greenhouse for 20 days. Thereafter, Compound of Present Invention (1-17) and Compound 267 (N′-(4-cyclohexylmethoxy-2,5-dimethylphenyl)-N,N-dimethylformamidine) described in WO2000/46184 were each formed into a formulation according to Formulation Example 2, and diluted with water so as to have a predetermined concentration (200 ppm), and then applied to foliage by spraying so that it was sufficiently adhered to the leaf surface of the rice. After spraying, the plants were air-dried, and the spray-treated rice and the rice seedling (variety: Nipponbare) affected by Magnaporthe grisea were left for 6 days while they were brought into contact with each other at 24° C. in the daytime and 20° C. at night under high humidity, and then the lesion area was investigated. As a result, as shown in Table A, in the same conditions, the lesion area of the plants treated with Compound of Present Invention (1-17) was 10% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant, and on the other hand, the lesion area of the plants treated with Compound 267 described in WO2000/46184 was 50% or less of the lesion area in the non-treated plant.
