The present invention relates to a jinggangmycin and ipconazole fungicidal composition and applications thereof, which belong to a pesticide composition with a synergistic and dosage-reducing effect in the technical field of pesticides, and its active components are jinggangmycin and ipconazole.
Jinggangmycin, also called validamycin, is a secondary metabolite of actinomycetes, and contains six types of similar amino glucan glycoside derivatives A, B, C, D, E and F. A large number of domestic and foreign studies have shown that the component A is the main active component of jinggangmycin. Therefore, jinggangmycin as a main component related to the present invention is jinggangmycin A. Jinggangmycin shows interference specific to the development of hyphae at the tips of rhizoctonia fungi (Rhizoctonia spp.) among basidiomycetes in vitro. Therefore, since jinggangmycin was discovered in 1970s, jinggangmycin has always served as an agricultural antibiotic for specifically preventing and controlling plant diseases caused by rhizoctonia, or has been processed into mixtures along with pesticides for preventing and controlling other plant pests to control rhizoctonia (Rhizoctonia spp.) diseases. These rhizoctonia diseases mainly include rice sheath blight, wheat sheath blight and sheath blight or damping-off of other crops. In recent years, it has also been discovered that jinggangmycin can also be used for preventing and controlling false smut caused by hard-to-culture imperfect fungi (Ustilaginoidea vixens).
Ipconazole is a triazole ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor, the molecular formula is C18H24CIN3O, the chemical name is 2-((4-chlorobenzyl)methyl-5-(1-isopropyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazole-1-methyl)cyclopentanol, and the CAS number is 125225-28-7. With systemic, protective and curative activities, ipconazole can effectively prevent and treat diseases caused by ascomycete, basidiomycete and imperfect fungi, and by treating seeds, ipconazole is transmitted from roots to stems and leaves, having a good prevention effect on fusarium head blight, leaf spot and blight.
In the process of crop growth, some diseases will inevitably occur, and if the diseases are not prevented and treated in time, the severe loss of crop yields will be caused. However, the frequent use of the same type of agent in preventing and controlling these diseases often leads to fungicide resistance developed by these diseases. In order to solve these problems, by combining pesticides with different mechanisms of action according to a proportion, not only can the development of fungicide resistance by a pathogenic population be effectively retarded, but also there is a synergistic and dosage-reducing effect on the prevention and control of plant diseases. Jinggangmycin or validamycin only shows specific antifungal activity on rhizoctonia in vitro, and does not have antifungal activity on fusaria resulting in fusarium head blight. Therefore, people have always been researching the selective mechanism of jinggangmycin with rhizoctonia as an object for decades, discovering that validamycin/jinggangmycin interferes with the inositol and trehalose metabolism of rhizoctonia, as a result, the structure of a cell wall is destroyed, rhizoctonia is prevented from infecting plants, and thereby jinggangmycin has a good protective effect. On the basis of researching a DON toxin biosynthesis pathway and regulatory mechanism of fusarium, the inventor carried out the screening of a large number of compounds for inhibiting DON toxin biosynthesis. In the screening process, it was surprisingly discovered that under certain treating dosage, jinggangmycin can strongly inhibit biochemical reaction in the early pathway of DON toxin biosynthesis of wheat scab fungi. Therefore, although jinggangmycin cannot effectively prevent and control fusarium head blight of wheat and barley alone, jinggangmycin has a certain inhibitory effect on the secondary metabolite (DON toxin) of fusaria. The inventor researches the inhibition of the synthesis of the pathogenic factor DON of fusaria by jinggangmycin/validamycin and the screening of synergistic formulas of mixtures of jinggangmycin/validamycin and other various fungicides for preventing and controlling fusarium head blight in fields for the first time in the world, and creatively discovers that the jinggangmycin and ipconazole composition has the advantages of outstanding synergism, DON toxin contamination reduction and great pesticide dosage reduction in preventing and controlling fusarium head blight of wheat and barley crops. Through an experiment, the inventor also discovers that the present invention also has a remarkable synergistic effect in preventing and controlling rice diseases, such as rice blast, rice false smut and rice sheath blight, and can effectively retard the development of fungicide resistance, reduce the dosage and application frequency of pesticides and reduce the cost of prevention and control.

The present invention adopts a conventional method of fungicide bioassay, jinggangmycin and ipconazole are respectively prepared into 2 mg/mL of mother solution by using sterile water and methanol, a control agent, raw carbendazim, is dissolved into 0.1 M/L of hydrochloric acid solution, phenamacril is dissolved in methanol, and thereby 2 mg/mL of mother solution is prepared. When potato dextrose agar media (PDA) are cooled until temperature is about 45° C., jinggangmycin and ipconazole are respectively added in to designed concentrations (see Table 1), and are then poured into culture dishes to produce plates treated by the different agents, the process is repeated after three dishes are treated, hyphal clumps of wild sensitive strains (sensitive strains for short) and carbendazim-resistant and phenamacril-resistant strains (fungicide-resistant strains for short) of common fusarium graminearum and fusarium asiaticum causing fusarium head blight of wheat and barley are inoculated, and are cultured under the temperature of 25° C. for four days, the diameters of the fungal colonies are measured by a crossing method, effective medium dosages (EC50) when different treatments inhibit the growth of the pathogenic fungi by 50 percent are calculated, and antifungal activities are compared. The experimental result indicates that no matter whether jinggangmycin is used alone or mixed with ipconazole, jinggangmycin almost does not have inhibitory activity on the growth of the sensitive strains and fungicide-resistant strains of the two types of fusaria causing fusarium head blight in vitro, and only when the concentration of jinggangmycin is as high as 50 μg/mL can jinggangmycin have 6.5 to 7.8 percent of inhibitory effect on the growth of the two types of fusaria. However, ipconazole has a similar strong inhibitory effect on the hyphal growth of the sensitive strains of the two types of fusaria, and the inhibitory effect of 0.1 gμ/mL of ipconazole for treatment on hyphal growth can exceed 50 percent. Jinggangmycin does not have a synergistic effect for ipconazole in inhibiting hyphal growth in vitro (Table 1).
According to growth inhibition rates of the wild sensitive strains and carbendazim-resistant and phenamacril-resistant strains of fusarium asiaticum and fusarium graminearum treated by different doses of ipconazole, an effective medium dosage (EC50) of ipconazole for inhibiting the growth of the different fungicide-sensitive strains is calculated, it is discovered in a result that the sensitivities of the sensitive strains, the carbendazim-resistant strains and the phenamacril-resistant strains to ipconazole are similar, EC50 is 0.89 to 0.11 μg/mL, and an experimental result is listed in Table 2.
With EC50 of the agents as parameters, the activities of the different fungicides in inhibiting the growth of the fusaria are compared, and it is discovered that the activity of ipconazole is about 4.5 times the activity (EC50 is 0.45 μg/mL for both types of fusaria) of carbendazim on the sensitive strains and about 1.5 times the activity (EC50 is 0.165μg/mL for both types of fusaria) of phenamacril on the sensitive strains. The result indicates that ipconazole has strong activity in inhibiting the growth of the wild sensitive strains and the carbendazim-resistant and phenamacril-resistant fusaria, helping to decrease the contamination level of DON toxin infecting grains and prevent and control fungicide-resistant diseases.
As the fungicide sensitivities of fusarium graminearum and fusarium asiaticum to jinggangmycin and ipconazole are the same, the inventor chooses fusarium asiaticum with high toxin synthesis capability (the weight of synthesized DON per unit fungus amount, μgDON/g by dry weight of hyphae) as a material to further research toxin synthesis. Carbendazim-resistant fusarium asiaticum causing fusarium head blight of wheat and barley is inoculated into 3 percent of sterile mung bean soup, the solution is shaken for culture under the temperature of 25° C. and 12/24 hours of scattered light for three days, and conidia are collected centrifugally. The conidia are inoculated into GYEP culture solutions containing different doses of jinggangmycin according to final 102 /mL and shaken to be cultured under the temperature of 25° C. and in the dark, cultures are filtered after seven days and fourteen days, toxin contents in the culture solutions are assayed respectively and the dry weights of hyphae are measured, and toxin synthesis capabilities (the amount of toxin produced per unit weight of hyphae) are analyzed.
Toxin Determination Method: The culture filtrate is respectively extracted with ethyl acetate by equal volume twice, extraction liquids are vacuum-distilled and dried after being combined, an extract is dissolved by 1 mL of acetonitrile and transferred into a new centrifuge tube, a solution is distilled and dried again, and stored under −20° C. for later assay. During assay, 100 μL of TMS derivatization reagent (TMSI:TMCS=100:1) is added, 1 mL of ultrapure water is added after 10 minutes of uniform mixing, supernate is extracted and added into a GC sample bottle after shaking for layering, and a gas chromatograph (GC-ECD) with an electron capture detector is used to carry out toxin content assay. With a DON reagent of Sigma as a standard sample, a standard curve is created, and DON contents, including DON, 3ADON and 15ADON, in the culture solutions are calculated. Meanwhile, the filtered hyphae are dried to constant weights under 80° C., and the dry weights of the hyphae are measured. In addition, after three days of shaking for culture, the hyphae are taken out, and the expression levels of the key gene Tri5 for toxin synthesis are assayed.
It is discovered from an experimental result (Table 3) that the hyphal growths of the fusarium head blight fungi increase as culture time extends, but, after shaking for culture in the media treated by the different doses of jinggangmycin, hyphal growths are not notably changed in comparison with that of the blank control. It is indicated that jinggangmycin does not have the inhibitory effect on the growth of the fusarium head blight fungi cultured in liquid, which is the same as a linear growth rate determination result on the PDA plates. However, it is discovered for the first time that the amount (μg DON/g by dry weight of hyphae) of DON toxin synthesized per unit hyphal weight is remarkably decreased as the treating dosage of jinggangmycin is increased. Moreover, the inhibitory effect of jinggangmycin on DON synthesis decreases as culture time extends, and especially, the decreasing amplitude of low-concentration treatment is greater. It is indicated that jinggangmycin may be degraded as experimental time extends, and as a result, the inhibitory effect on toxin biosynthesis may be decreased.
According to toxin synthesis gene expression level analysis on the third day of treatment, it is creatively discovered that although jinggangmycin does not have adverse influence on the growth and hyphal morphology of fusaria in vitro, a very low treating dose of jinggangmycin can strongly inhibit the expression of the key gene tris for DON toxin synthesis, weakening the toxin biosynthesis capability of thalli and reducing DON biosynthesis, and an experimental result is listed in Table 4.
Ipconazole treatment can destroy the cell membrane permeability of the fusarium head blight fungi, inhibiting the growth of hyphae. Ipconazole and jinggangmycin composition treatment can enhance the absorption and utilization of jinggangmycin by the pathogenic fungi. While the inhibition of jinggangmycin on DON toxin biosynthesis of the fusaria is determined in experimental example 2, inhibitory effects of jinggangmycin on the DON toxin biosynthesis capability of fusarium asiaticum under the existence of 0.1 μg/mL of ipconazole are determined on the seventh day and the fourteenth day of culture, and the synergistic effect of ipconazole for jinggangmycin in inhibiting DON toxin biosynthesis is analyzed. The DON assay method is the same as that in experimental example 2.
It has been known from experimental example 1 and experimental example 2 that 0.1 μg/ml of ipconazole for treatment alone has an inhibition rate higher than 50 percent on the hyphal growth of the fusarium head blight fungi. It can be seen from the result in Table 5 that 0.1 μg/ml of ipconazole does not have significant inhibitory effects on the toxin biosynthesis capability of the fusaria in comparison with the toxin biosynthesis capability of the blank control on the seventh day and the fourteenth day of treatment, which indicates that ipconazole only has hyphal growth inhibition activity, having no inhibitory effect on toxin synthesis capability. Nevertheless, when 0.1 μg/ml of ipconazole exists in each treatment concentration, the inhibitory effect of jinggangmycin on DON toxin biosynthesis capability is greatly enhanced. Moreover, as culture time extends, the decreasing speed of the inhibitory effect of jinggangmycin on toxin synthesis capability is remarkably lower than that of control treatment without ipconazole, and in particular, the synergistic effect for low-concentration jinggangmycin treatment and the prolonging of action time are more obvious. Based on the results of the simultaneous experiments in Table 3, synergistic effects for jinggangmycin in inhibiting the toxin biosynthesis of the fusaria on the seventh day and the fourteenth day of treatment under the existence of 0.10 μg/mL of ipconazole are calculated, and results are listed in Table 5. These results indicate: (1) jinggangmycin has an effect of strongly decreasing the DON toxin biosynthesis capability of the fusaria, while ipconazole does not have this effect; (2) ipconazole has an obvious synergistic effect for jinggangmycin in inhibiting the toxin biosynthesis of the fusaria, and as the treating dosage of jinggangmycin is reduced, the synergistic effect is enhanced; (3) ipconazole can prolong the time of the inhibitory effect of jinggangmycin on the toxin synthesis of the fusaria, and the synergistic effect is enhanced as the time of treatment extends.
The field prevention and control efficacy of fungicidal composition preparations of embodiments 1-8 on wheat scab is experimented. The experimental field was arranged in Jiangsu Huai'an White Horse Lake Farm where wheat scab fungi had developed resistance to carbendazim. The wheat variety was Huaimai 22. In November, 2012, sowing was carried out, field management was carried out in a normal way, and other pesticides were not used. On May 2, 2013, i.e., at the initial stage of wheat blooming, a Nongjiale 16L knapsack electric sprayer was adopted to carry out application for the first time, and according to weather forecast, application was carried out for the second time on May 9 (the initial stage of filling). The area of each plot was 50 square meters, treatment was repeated for four plots, water consumption was 50 kg/Mu, and the fungicidal composition was not applied on the blank control. Meanwhile, 80 g of carbendazim wettable powder which was 50 percent was used as a control agent for treatment per mu. The condition was investigated on May 26, 2013, and the prevention and control effect is shown in table 6. 40 percent of jinggangmycin wettable powder was provided by Zhejiang Tonglu Huifeng Biosciences Co., Ltd., and 40 percent of ipconazole wettable powder was prepared by our lab. According to a corresponding method specified by the industrial standard of Guidelines for the
Field Efficacy Trials of Fungicides issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, the occurrence of wheat scab was investigated at the stage of milky ripeness, and according to the actual effect of each treatment in preventing and controlling fusarium head blight, the synergistic effects of the composition were calculated. According to the Abbott (Abbott, 1925) method, a theoretical prevention effect (E=X+(100-X)Y/100, wherein E is theoretical prevention effect, X is the prevention effect of the single jinggangmycin agent, and Y is the prevention effect of the single ipconazole agent) and a synergistic coefficient (actual prevention effect of the composition in application divided by theoretical prevention effect×100) of the composition were calculated. Toxin Determination Method: Two hundred wheat ears were sampled every five treated points at the stage of wax ripeness, and were threshed indoors, and after drying, 30 g of kernels were sampled randomly and ground. According to Goswami and Kistler methods, 5 g of flour was put into a centrifuge tube, 20 mL of extracting solution of acetonitrile and water (84:16) was added into the flour and uniformly mixed by a vortex mixer, the solution was then shaken on a shaker for 24 hours, and was centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 minutes, and 2 mL of supernate was blow-dried by nitrogen in an Eppendorf centrifuge tube and preserved under −20° C. During assay, 100 μL of TMS derivatization reagent (TMSI:TMCS=100:1) was added, 1 mL of ultrapure water was added after 10 minutes of uniform mixing, supernate was extracted and added into a GC sample bottle after shaking for layering, a gas chromatograph (GC-ECD) with an electron capture detector was used to carry out toxin content assay, and the result is shown in table 6.
The field screening and experiment results of the synergistic effect of the fungicidal composition for preventing and controlling wheat scab in the present invention indicate that when the jinggangmycin and ipconazole composition is sprayed from the initial stage of wheat blooming to the filling stage, different preparations of embodiments 1-8 each have an outstanding synergistic effect (the synergistic coefficient is greater than 100) on wheat scab under certain dosages. Moreover, after being applied, the jinggangmycin and ipconazole composition has a remarkable synergistic effect in decreasing the DON contamination level of grains, the DON content can be reduced by 90 percent or more, and the DON contamination level can be controlled at a safe level of 1mg of DON/kg of grain or lower.

Meanwhile, 80 g of carbendazim wettable powder which was 50 percent was used as a control agent for treatment per mu. According to a corresponding method specified by the industrial standard of Guidelines for the Field Efficacy Trials of Fungicides issued by the Ministry of Agriculture, the occurrences of powdery mildew, rust, sheath blight and leaf blight of wheat were investigated at the stage of milky ripeness, disease indexes and prevention and control effects were calculated, and the result is shown in table 7.
The field application results of embodiments 1-8 indicate that while effectively preventing and controlling wheat scab, the jinggangmycin and ipconazole composition fungicide also has a good prevention and control effect on leaf blight, powdery mildew, rust and sheath blight of wheat, which is far better than that of commonly used carbendazim (The assay showed that pathogenic fungi which showed resistance to carbendazim in pathogenic fungus colonies in the experimental field accounted for 37.7 percent), moreover, the jinggangmycin and ipconazole composition has extremely remarkable synergy and prevention and control effects on fusarium head blight caused by fungicide-resistant fusarium head blight fungi, and the result was similar to the field experiment result in White Horse Lake Farm in the same year. Therefore, the fungicidal composition of the present invention has a lot of advantages, such as little dosage, low cost, environment-friendliness, outstanding social benefit, etc.
Application Embodiment 3: Prevention and Control Effect of Jinggangmycin and Ipconazole Composition in Preventing and Controlling Barley Diseases and Effect in Reducing Toxin Contamination
The field prevention and control efficacy of the fungicidal composition preparations of embodiments 1-8 on barley diseases was experimented, wherein different doses of single jinggangmycin agent and single ipconazole agent were designed for treatment.

The treating dosages, prevention effects and influences of the agents on toxin content are shown in Table 8.
Fusarium
The field application of the composition indicates that the treatment by the single ipconazole agent has a good prevention effect on barley scab, leaf blight, powdery mildew and rust while, except having a low prevention effect on fusarium head blight, the single jinggangmycin agent almost has no effect on other diseases. It can be seen from the table that the prevention effect of the fungicidal composition preparations in embodiments 1-8 on fusarium head blight, leaf blight, powdery mildew and rust is greatly enhanced, the prevention and control effect reaches 70 to 90 percent or more, better than the effect of the common control agent, polyketone, and single agents, and the synergistic effect is outstanding. Therefore, the biochemical fungicidal composition of the present invention can greatly reduce the dosage of the chemical fungicide, ipconazole, decrease environment stress caused by pesticides and reduce the toxin contamination of kernels.
