In the above recitations, the term "alkyl", used either alone or in compound words such as "haloalkyl" denotes straight-chain or branched alkyl; e.g., methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, or the different butyl, pentyl or hexyl isomers. "Alkenyl" denotes straight-chain or branched alkenes; e.g., 1-propenyl, 2-propenyl, and the different butenyl, pentenyl and hexenyl isomers. "Alkenyl" also denotes polyenes such as 1,3-hexadiene. "Alkynyl" denotes straight-chain or branched alkynes; e.g., ethynyl, 1-propynyl, 3-propynyl and the different butynyl, pentynyl and hexynyl isomers. "Alkynyl" also denotes moieties comprised of multiple triple bonds; e.g., 2,4-hexadiyne. "Alkoxy" denotes, for example, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propyloxy, isopropyloxy and the different butoxy, pentoxy and hexyloxy isomers. "Alkenyloxy" denotes straight-chain or branched alkenyloxy moieties. Examples of alkenyloxy include H.sub.2 C.dbd.CHCH.sub.2O, (CH.sub.3).sub.2 C.dbd.CHCH.sub.2 O, (CH.sub.3)CH.dbd.CHCH.sub.2 O, (CH.sub.3)CH.dbd.C(CH.sub.3)CH.sub.2 O and CH.sub.2 .dbd.CHCH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O.

The term "halogen", either alone or in compound words such as "haloalkyl", denotes fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine. Further, when used in compound words such as "haloalkyl", said alkyl may be partially or fully substituted with halogen atoms which may be the same or different. Examples of "haloalkyl" include F.sub.3 C, ClCH.sub.2, CF.sub.3 CH.sub.2 and CF.sub.3 CCl.sub.2. The term "cycloalkyl" denotes cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl and cyclohexyl moieties.

The total number of carbon atoms in a substituent group is indicated by the "C.sub.i -C.sub.j " prefix where i and j are numbers from 1 to 10. For example, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl designates methyl through propyl; C.sub.2 alkoxy designates CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2 O; and C.sub.3 alkoxy designates, for example, CH.sub.3 CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O or (CH.sub.3).sub.2 CHO. In the above recitations, when a compound of Formula I is comprised of one or more aromatic nitrogen-containing rings (e.g., pyridinyl and pyrimidinyl), all bonds to these heterocycles are made through the carbon atom(s) of the moieties.

It is recognized that some reagents and reaction conditions described below for preparing compounds of Formula I may not be compatible with some functionalities claimed for R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, R.sup.4, A, G, W, X, Y, and Z. In these cases, the incorporation of protection/deprotection sequences into the synthesis may be necessary in order to obtain the desired products. The cases in which protecting groups are necessary, and which protection group to use, will be apparent to one skilled in chemical synthesis.
In the following description of the preparation of compounds of Formula I, compounds denoted as Formula Ia through Ik are various subsets of the compounds of Formula I. All substituents for compounds of Formula Ia through Ik and Formulae 1-39 are as defined above for Formula I except where indicated otherwise.
Compounds of this invention can exist as one or more stereoisomers. The various stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers and geometric isomers. One skilled in the art will appreciate that one stersoisomer may be more active than the others and how to separate said stereoisomers. Accordingly, the present invention comprises mixtures, individual stereoisomers, and optically active mixtures of compounds of Formula I can exist in one or more tautomeric forms. For example, a compound of Formula I wherein R.sup.2 is H may exist as tautomer Ia or Ib, or both Ia and Ib. The present invention comprises all tautomeric forms of compounds of Formula I. ##STR11##
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The compounds of Formula I can be prepared as described below in Procedures 1) to 5). Procedures 1) to 4) describe syntheses involving construction of the amide ring after the formulation of the aryl moiety. Procedure 5) describes syntheses of the aryl moiety with the amide ring already in place.
Alkylation Procedures
The compounds of Formula I are prepared by treating compounds of Formula I with an appropriate alkyl transfer reagent in an inert solvent with or without additional acidic or basic reagents or other reagents (Scheme 1). Suitable solvents are selected from the group consisting of polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, or diethyl ether; ketones such as acetone or 2-butanone; hydrocarbons such as toluene or benzene; and halocarbons such as dichloromethane or chloroform. ##STR12##
For example, compounds for Formula I can be prepared by the action of diazoalkane reagents for Formula 2 such as diazomethane (Q.dbd.H) or trimethylsilyldiazomethane (Q.dbd.(CH.sub.3).sub.3 Si) on compounds of dicarbonyl compounds of Formula 1 (Method 1). Use of trimethylsilyldiazomethane requires a protic cosolvent such as methanol. For examples of these procedures, see Chem. Pharm. Bull., (1984), 32, 3759.
As indicated in Method 2, compounds of Formula I can also be prepared by contacting carbonyl compounds of Formula 1 with alkyl trichloroacetimidates of Formula 3 and a Lewis acid catalyst. The alkyl trichloroacetimidates can be prepared from the appropriate alcohol and trichloroacetonitrile as described in the literature (J. Danklmaier and H. Honig, Snyth. Commun., (1990), 20, 203).
Compounds of Formula I can also be prepared from compounds of Formula 1 by treatment with a trialkyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (i.e., Meerwein's salt) of Formula 4 (Method 3). The use of trialkyloxonium salts as powerful alkylating agents is well known in the art (see U. Schollkopf, U. Groth, C. Deng, Angew. Chem., Int. Ed. Engl., (1981), 20, 798).
Other alkylating agents which can convert carbonyl compounds for Formula 1 to compounds of Formula I are dialkyl sulfates such as dimethyl sulfate, haloalkyl sulfonates such as methyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, and alky halides such as iodomethane and propargyl bromide (Method 4). Theses alkylations can be conducted with or without additional base. Appropriate bases include alkali metal alkoxides such as potassium tert-butoxide, inorganic bases such as sodium hydride and potassium carbonate, or tertiary amines such as triethylamine, pyridine, 1,8-diazbicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), and triethylelediamine. See R. E. Benson, T. L. Cairns, J. Am. Chem. Soc., (1948), 70, 2115 for alkylation examples using agents of this type.
Compounds of Formula 1a (compounds of Formula 1 wherein G=C, W=O and X=OH) can be prepared by condensation of malonates or malonate derivatives of Formula 5 with an ambident nucleophile of Formula 6 (Scheme 2). The nucleophiles of Formula 6 are N-substituted hydroxylamines (HO--NHR.sup.2) and substituted hydrazines (HN(R.sup.5)--NHR.sup.2). Examples of such nucleophiles are N-methylhydroxylamine and methylhydrazine. The preparation or the malonate esters of Formula 5 can be prepared by methods described hereinafter. The esters of Formula 5 can also be activated by first hydrolyzing the ester to form the corresponding carboxylic acid, and then converting the acid into the acid chloride (T=Cl) using thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride, or into the acyl imidazole (T=1-imidazolyl) by treating with 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole. ##STR13##
Esters of Formula 5a can be prepared from copper (I)-catalyzed reaction of malonate esters of Formula 7 with substituted iodobenzenes of Formula 8 according to methods adapted from A. Osuka, T. Kobayashi and H. Suzuki, Synthesis, (1983), 67, and illustrated in Scheme 3. ##STR14##
Additionally, the malonate esters of Formula 5a can be prepared by treating phenyl acetic acid esters of Formula 9 with a dialkyl carbonate or alkyl chloroformate in the presence of a suitable base such as, but not limited to, sodium metal and sodium hydride (Scheme 4). For example, see J. Am. Chem. Soc., (1928), 50, 2758. ##STR15##
Esters for Formula 9 can be prepared from acid-catalyzed alchohoysis of phenyl acetonitriles of Formula 10 or esterification of phenyl acetic acids of Formula 11 as illustrated in Scheme 5 (see Org. Synth., Coll. Col. I, (1941,) 270). ##STR16##
Phenyl acetic acid esters of Formula 9a can also be prepared by copper (I)-catalyzed condensation of phenyl halides of Formula 12 with compounds of Formula 13 as described in EP-A-307,103 and illustrated below in Scheme 6. ##STR17##
Some esters of Formula 9 (Formula 9b) can also be prepared by forming Y.sup.2 bridge using conventional nucleophilic substitution chemistry (Scheme 7). Displacement of an appropriate leaving group (Lg) in electrophiles of Formula 15 or 16 with a nucleophilic ester of Formula 14 affords compounds of Formula 9b. A base, for example sodium hydride, is used to generate the corresponding alkoxide or thioalkoxide of the compound of Formula 14. ##STR18##
Some esters of Formula 9 (Formula 9e) can also be prepared by forming the Y.sup.3 bridge from substituted hydroxylamine 9d and carbonyl compounds 14a. The hydroxylamine 9d is in turn prepared from esters 9c. This method has been described in EP-600,835 and illustrated in Scheme 8. ##STR19##
2) Displacement and Conjugate Addition/Elimination Procedures
Compounds of Formula I can also be prepares by reaction of Formula 17 compounds with alkaki metal alkoxides (R.sup.1 O.sup.- M.sup.30 ) or alkali metal thioalkoxides (R.sup.1 S.sup.31 M.sup.30 ) in a suitable solvent (Scheme 9). The leaving group Lg.sup.1 in the amides of Formula 17 are any group known in the art to undergo a displacement reaction of this type. Examples of suitable leaving groups include chlorine, bromine, and sulfonyl and sulfonate groups. Examples of suitable inert solvents are dimethylformamide or dimethylsulfoxide. ##STR20##
Compounds of Formula 17a can be prepared from compounds of Formula 1b (compounds of Formula 1 wherein X is OH) by reaction with halogenating agents such as thionyl chloride or phosphorus oxybromide to form the corresponding .beta.-halo-substituted derivatives (Scheme 10). Alternatively, compounds of Formula 1b can be treated with an alkylsulfonyl halide or haloalkysulfonyl anhydride, such as methane sulfonyl chloride, p-toluenesulfonyl chloride, and trifluoromethanesulfonyl anhydride, to form the corresponding .beta.-alkylsulfonate for Formula 17a. The reaction with the sulfonyl halides may be performed in the presence of a suitable base (e.g., triethylamine). ##STR21##
As illustrated in Scheme 11, sulfonyl compounds of Formula 17b can be prepared by oxidation of the corresponding thio compound of Formula 18 using well-known methods for the oxidation of sulfur (see Schrenk, K. In The Chemistry of Sulphones and Sulphoxides; Patai, s. et al.,Eds.; Wiley: New York, 1988). Suitable oxidizing reagents include meta-chloro-peroxybenzoic acid, hydrogen peroxide and Oxone.RTM. (KHSO.sub.5). ##STR22##
Alternatively, halo-compounds of Formula 17c (compounds of Formula 17a wherein A=N, G=N, and W=O) can be prepared from hydrazides of Formula 19 as illustrated in Scheme 12. When R.sup.22 --C(.dbd.S)S(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl), the diacyl compound of Formula 19 is treated with excess thionyl halide, for example excess thionyl chloride. The product formed first is the ring-closed compound of Formula 20 which can be isolated or converted in situ to the compound of Formula 17c; see P. Molina, A. Tarraga, A. Espinosa, Synthesis, (1989), 923 for a description of this process.
Alternatively, when R.sup.22 =R.sup.2 as defined above, the hydrazide of Formula 19 is cyclized with phosgene to form the cyclic urea of Formula 17C wherein hal=Cl. This procedure is described in detail in J. Org. Chem., (1989), 54, 1048. ##STR23##

Compounds of Formula 1a (compounds of Formula 1 wherein A=N, G=N) can be prepared by condensation of N-amino-ureas of Formula 23 with a carbonylating agent of Formula 24 (Scheme 16). The carbonylating agents of Formula 24 are carbonyl or thiocarbonyl transfer reagents such as phosgene, thiophosgene, diphosgene (ClC(.dbd.O)OCCl.sub.3), triphosgene (Cl.sub.3 COC(.dbd.O)OCCl.sub.3),N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, N,N'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole, and 1,1'-carbonyldi(1,2,4-triazole). Alternatively, the compounds of Formula 24 can be alky chloroformates of dialkyl carbonates. Some of these carbonylating reactions may require the addition of a base to effect reaction. Appropriate bases include alkali metal alkoxides such as potassium tert-butoxide, inorganic bases such as sodium hydride and potassium carbonate, or tertiary amines such as triethylamine, pyridine, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), or triethylenediamine. Suitable solvents include polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, or dimethylsulfoxide; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dimethoxyethane, or diethyl ether, ketones such as acetone or 2-butanone; hydrocarbons such as toluene or benzene; or halocarbons such as dichloromethane or chloroform. The reaction temperature can vary between 0.degree. C. and 150.degree. C. and the reaction time can be from 1 to 72 hours depending on the choice of the base, solvent, temperature, and substrates. ##STR27##
N-Amino-ureas of Formula 23 can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 17. Treatment of an aniline of Formula 25 with phosgene, thiophosgene, N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole, or N,N'-thiocarbonyldiimidazole produces the isocyanate or isothiocyanate of Formula 26. A base can be added for reactions with phosgene or thiophosgene. Subsequent treatment of the iso(thio)cyanate with an R.sup.2 -substituted hydrazine produces the N-amino-urea of Formula 23. ##STR28##
Compounds of Formula 1b (compounds of Formula 1 wherein A=CR.sup.5, G=N, and X=O) can be prepared by either method illustrated in Scheme 18. Ureas of Formula 27 are reacted with activated 2-halocarboxylic acid esters of 2-haloacyl imidazoles. The initial acylation on the aniline nitrogen is followed by an intramolecular displacement of the 2-halo group to effect cyclization . Base may be added to accelerate the acylation and/or the subsequent cyclization. Suitable bases include triethylamine and sodium hydride. Alternatively, Formula 1b compounds can be prepared by reaction of Formula 26 isocyanates with Formula 28a esters. As described above, base may be added to accelerate the reaction and subsequent cyclization to Formula 1b compounds. ##STR29##
The ureas of Formula 27 can be prepared by either of the methods illustrated in Scheme 19. The anilines of Formula 25 can be contacted with an isocyanate or isothiocyanate of Formula 26 can be condensed with an amine of Formula R.sup.2 --NH.sub.2 to form the urea. The anilines and iso(thio)cyanates of Formulae 25 and 26, respectively, are commercially available or prepared by well-known methods. For example, isothiocyanates can be prepared by methods described in J. Heterocycl. Chem., (1990), 27, 407. Isocyanates can be prepared as described in March, J. Advanced Organic Chemistry; 3rd ed., John Wiley: New York, (1985), pp 944, 1166. ##STR30##

Soc. Chim. Belg., (1978), 87, 229; and Tetrahedron Lett., (1983), 24, 3815). ##STR31##
5) Aryl Moiety Synthesis Procedures
Compounds of Formula If (compounds of Formula I wherein Y is CHR.sup.6 O, CHR.sup.6 S, or CHR.sup.6 O--N.dbd.CR.sup.7) can be prepared by contacting benzyl halides of Formula 29 with various nucleophiles (Scheme 21). The appropriate alcohol or thiol is treated with a base, for example sodium hydride, to form the corresponding alkoxide or thioalkoxide which acts as the nucleophile. ##STR32##
Benzyl halides of Formula 29 can be prepared by radical halogenation of the corresponding alkyl compound (i.e., H instead of halogen in Formula 29), or by acidic cleavage of the corresponding methylether (i.e., OMe instead of halogen in Formula 29).
Compounds of Formula I wherein Y is CR.sup.6 .dbd.CR.sup.6 and CHR.sup.6 --CHR.sup.6 (Formula Ig and Ih, respectively) can be prepared as illustrated in Scheme 22. Treatment of the benzyl halides of Formula 29 with triphenylphosphine or a trialkylphosphite produces the corresponding phosphonium salt (Formula 30) or phosphonate (Formula 31), respectively. Condensation of the phosphorus compound with a base and a carbonyl compound of Formula Z(R.sup.6)C.dbd.O affords the olefin of Formula Ig. ##STR33##
The olefins of Formula Ig can be converted to the saturated compounds of Formula Ih by hydrogenation over a metal catalyst such palladium on carbon as is well-known in the art (Rylander, Catalytic Hydrogenation in Organic Synthesis; Academic: New York, 1979).
Formula Ii alkynes can be prepared by halogenation/dehalogenation of Formula Ig olefins using procedures well-known in the art (March, J. Advanced Organic Chemistry; 3rd ed., John Wiley: New York, (1985), p 924). Additionally, Formula Ii alkynes can be prepared by well-known reaction of aromatic halides with alkyne derivatives in the presence of catalysts such as nickel or palladium (see J. Organomet. Chem., (1975), 93 253-257).
The olefin of Formula Ig can also be prepared by reversing the reactivity of the reactants in the Wittig or Horner-Emmons condensation. For example, 2alkylphenyl derivatives of Formula 31 can be converted into the corresponding dibromo-compound of Formula 33 as illustrated in Scheme 23 (see Synthesis, (1988), 330). The dibromo-compound can be hydrolyzed to the carbonyl compound of Formula 34, which in turn can be condensed with a phosphorus-containing nucleophile of Formula 35 or 36 to afford the olefin of Formula Ig. ##STR34##
Oximes of Formula Ij (Formula I wherein Y is C(R.sup.7).dbd.N--O) can be prepared from carbonyl compounds of Formula 37 by condensation with hydroxylamine, followed by O-alkylation with electrophiles of Formula Z-(Cl, Br, or I) (Scheme 24). Alternatively, the O-alkylation with electrophiles of Formula Z-(Cl, Br, or I) (Scheme 24 ). Alternatively, the O-substituted hydroxylamine can be condensed with the carbonyl compound of Formula 37 to yield oximes of Formula Ij directly. ##STR35##
Carbamates of Formula Ik can be prepared by reacting benzyl alcohols of Formula 38 with isocyanates of Formula 39 (Scheme 25). A base such as triethylamine can be added to catalyze the reaction. ##STR36##

Formulation/Utility
Compounds of this invention will generally be used in formulation with an agriculturally suitable composition. The fungicidal compositions of the present invention comprise an effective amount of at least one compound of Formula I as defined above and at least one of (a) a surfactant, (b) an organic solvent, and (c) at least one solid or liquid diluent. Useful formulations can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dry flowables and the like. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulations. The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up to 100 weight percent.
______________________________________ Weight Percent Active Ingredient Diluent Surfactant______________________________________Wettable Powders 5-90 0-74 1-10 Oil Suspensions, Emulsions, 5-50 40-95 0-15 Solutions, (including Emulsifiable Concentrates) Dusts 1-25 70-99 0-5 Granules, Baits and Pellets 0.01-99 5-99.99 0-15 High Strength Compositions 90-99 0-10 0-2______________________________________
Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers, 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, N.J. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, Solvents Guide, 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, (1950). McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, Allured Publ. Corp., Ridgewood, N.J., as well as Sisely and Wood, Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents, Chemical Publ. Co., Inc., New York, (1964), list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foam, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, and the like.
Methods for formulating such compositions are well known. Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer mill or fluid energy mill. Water-dispersible granules can be produced by agglomerating a fine powder composition; see for example, Cross et al., Pesticide Formulations, Washington, D.C., (1988), pp 251-259. Suspensions are prepared by wet-milling; see, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,060,084. Granules and pellets can be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, Dec. 4, 1967, pp 147-148, Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook, 4th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, (1963), pp 8-57 and following, and WO 91/13546. Pellets can be prepared as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,172,714. Water-dispersible and water-soluble granules can be prepared as taught in DE 3,246,493.

The compounds and compositions of this invention provide control of diseases caused by a broad spectrum of fungal plant pathogens in the Basidiomycete, Ascomycete, Oomycete and Deuteromycete classes. They are effective in controlling a broad spectrum of plant diseases, particularly foliar pathogens of ornamental, vegetable, field, cereal, and fruit crops. These pathogens include Plasmopara viticola, Phytophthora infestans, Peronospora tabacina, Pseudoperonospora cubensis, Pythiom aphanidermatum, Alternaraia brassicae, Septoria nodorum, Cercosporidium personatum, Cercospora arachidicola, pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides, Cercospora beticola, Botrytis cinerea, Monilinia fructicola, Pyricularia oryzae, Podosphaera leucotricha, Venturia inaequalis, Erysiphe graminis, Uncinula necatur, Puccinia recondita, Puccinia graminis, Hemileia vastatrix, Puccinia striiformis, Puccinia arachidis, Rhizoctonia solani, Sphaerotheca fuliginea, Fusarium oxysporum, Verticillium dahliae, Pythium aphanidermatum, Phytophthora megasperma and other generea and species closely related to these pathogens.
Compounds of this invention can also be mixed with one or more other insecticides, fungicides, nematocides, bactericides, acaricides, semiochemicals, repellants, attractants, pheromones, feeding stimulants or other biologically active compounds to form a multi-component pesticides given and even broader spectrum of agricultural protection. Examples of other agricultural protectants with which compounds of this invention can be formulated are: insecticides such as acephate, avermectin B, axinphosmethyl, bifenthrin, biphenate, buprofezin, carbofuran, chlordimeform, chlorpyrifos, cyfluthrin, deltamethrin, diazinon, diflubenzuron, dimethoate, esfenvalerate, fenpropathrin, fenvalerate, fipronil, flucythrinate, flufenprox, fluvalinate, fonophos, isifenphos, malathion, metaldehyde, metha-midophos, methidathion, methomyl, methoprene, methoxychlor, monocrotophos, oxamyl, parathion-methyl, permethrin, phorate, phosalone, phosmet, phosphamidon, pirimicarb, profenofox, rotenone, sulprofos, terbufox, tetrachlorvinphos, thiodicarb, tralomethrin, trichlorfon and triflumuron; fungicides such as benomyl, blasticidin S, bromuconazole, captafol, captan, carbendazim, chloroneb, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, copper salts, cymoxanil, cyproconazole, dichloran, diclobutrazol, diclomezine, difenoconazole, diniconazole, dodine, edifenphos, epoxyconazole fenarimol, fenfuconazole, fenpropidine, fenpropimorph, fluquinconazole, flusilazole, flutolanil, flutrafol, folpet, furalaxyl, bexaconazole, ipconazole, iprobenfos, iprodione, isoprothiolane, kasugamycin, mancozeb, maneb, mepronil, metalaxyl, metconazole, myclobutanil, neo-asozin, oxadixyl, penconazole, pencycuron, phosethyl-Al, probenazole, prochloraz, propiconazole, pyrifenox, pyroquilon, sulfur, tebuconazole, tetraconazole, thiabendazole, thiophanate-methyl, thiuram, tradimefon, triadimenol, tricyclazole, uniconzole, validamycin and vinclozolin, nematicodes such as aldoxycarb, fenamiphos and fosthietan; bactericides such as oxytetracyline, streptomycin and tribasic copper sulfate; acaricides such as amitraz, binapacryl, chlorobenzilate, cyhexatin, dicifol, dienochlor, fenbutatin oxide, hexythiazox, oxythioquinox, propargite and tebufenpyrad; and biological agents such as Bacillus thuringiensis and baculovirus.
In certain instances, combinations with other fungicides having a similiar spectrum of control but a different mode of action will be particularly advantageous for resistance management.
Plant disease control is ordinarily accomplished by applying an effective amount of a compound of this invention either pre- or post-infection, to the portion of the plant to be protected such as the roots, stems, foliage, fruit, seeds, tubers or bulbs, or to the media (soil or sand) in which the plants to be protected are growing. The compounds can also be applied to the seed to protect the seed and seedling.
Rates of application for these compounds can be influenced by many factors of the environment and should be determined under actual use conditions. Foliage can normally be protected when treated at a rate of from less than 1 g/ha to 5,000 g/ha of active ingredient. Seed and seedlings can normally be protected when seed is treated at a rate of from 0.1 to 10 g per kilogram of seed.
The followings TESTS demonstrate the control efficacy of compounds of this invention on specific pathogens. The pathogen control protection afforded by the compounds is not limited, however, to these species. See Index Tables A-D for compound descriptions.
Test compounds were first dissolved in acetone in an amount equal to 3% of the final volume and then suspended at a concentration of 200 ppm in purified water containing 250 ppm of the surfactant Trem.RTM. 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters). The resulting test suspension were then used in the following tests.
TEST A
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on wheat seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore dust of Erysiphe graminis f. sp. tritici, (the causal agent of wheat powdery mildew) and incubated in a growth chamber at 20.degree. C. for 7 days, after which disease ratings were made.
TEST B
The test suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on wheat seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Puccinia recondita (the causal agent of wheat leaf rust) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20.degree. C. for 24 h, and then moved to a growth camber at 20.degree. C. for 6 days, after which disease ratings were made.
