The invention relates to the use of N-cyclopropyl-N-[substituted-benzyl]-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide or thiocarboxamide derivatives and/or salts thereof for the control of phytopathogenic fungi of coffee, citrus and banana.
N-cyclopropyl-N-[substituted-benzyl]-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide or thiocarboxamide derivatives, their preparation from commercially available materials and their use as fungicides are disclosed in WO2007/087906, WO2009/016220, WO2010/130767 and EP2251331. It is also known that these compounds can be used as fungicides and mixed with other fungicides or insecticides (cf patent applications PCT/EP2012/001676 and PCT/EP2012/001674).
Nevertheless, there is no explicit disclosure or suggestion that said compounds may significatively control main phytopathogenic fungi of coffee, citrus and banana, and in particular coffee rust, citrus black spot, citrus scab and banana black sigatoka diseases.
Coffee rust caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix is the most devastating disease of coffee plants. The symptoms of coffee rust include small, yellowish, oily spots on the upper leaf surface that expand into larger round spots that turn bright orange to red and finally brown with a yellow border. The rust pustules are powdery and orange-yellow on the underleaf surface. Later the pustules turn black. Rusted leaves drop so that affected trees are virtually denuded. Such trees usually die within a few years.
Citrus Black Spot caused by the fungus Guignardia citricarpa is a fungal disease which is responsible to a reduction in both fruit quantity and quality. Symptoms include both fruit and leaf lesions, the latter being critical to inter-tree dispersal.
Elsinoe fawcettii (and its anamorph Sphaceloma fawcettii) is a pathogen that causes scab lesions on citrus fruit, leaves, and twigs. E. fawcettii affects many different varieties of citrus. It has a distinctive morphology from other species in its genus and it is economically significant in any wet, tropical or subtropical climates where citrus is grown.
Black Sigatoka, also known as black leaf streak and caused by the fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis, is a very damaging and difficult to control disease. It causes significant reductions in leaf area, yield losses of 50% or more, and premature ripening.
It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide further compounds which increase the control of coffee rust, citrus black spot, citrus scab or banana black sigatoka diseases.
The present invention accordingly provides for the use of a compound having the formula (I)
wherein T represents an oxygen or a sulfur atom and X is selected from the list of 2-isopropyl, 2-cyclopropyl, 2-tert-butyl, 5-chloro-2-ethyl, 5-chloro-2-isopropyl, 2-ethyl-5-fluoro, 5-fluoro-2-isopropyl, 2-cyclopropyl-5-fluoro, 2-cyclopentyl-5-fluoro, 2-fluoro-6-isopropyl, 2-ethyl-5-methyl, 2-isopropyl-5-methyl, 2-cyclopropyl-5-methyl, 2-tert-butyl-5-methyl, 5-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl), 5-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl), 2-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl), 3-chloro-2-fluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl) and 2-ethyl-4,5-dimethyl, or an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof, for controlling coffee rust, citrus black spot, citrus scab or banana black sigatoka disease.
The invention further relates to a method for treating plants in need of control of coffee rust, citrus black spot, citrus scab or banana black sigatoka disease, comprising applying to said plants or parts of said plants, including leaves and fruits, to seeds from which they grow or to the locus in which they grow, an effective amount for controlling the disease, of a compound according to formula (I)
wherein T represents an oxygen or a sulfur atom and X is selected from the list of 2-isopropyl, 2-cyclopropyl, 2-tert-butyl, 5-chloro-2-ethyl, 5-chloro-2-isopropyl, 2-ethyl-5-fluoro, 5-fluoro-2-isopropyl, 2-cyclopropyl-5-fluoro, 2-cyclopentyl-5-fluoro, 2-fluoro-6-isopropyl, 2-ethyl-5-methyl, 2-isopropyl-5-methyl, 2-cyclopropyl-5-methyl, 2-tert-butyl-5-methyl, 5-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl), 5-methyl-2-(trifluoromethyl), 2-chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl), 3-chloro-2-fluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl) and 2-ethyl-4,5-dimethyl, or an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof.

The present invention further provides a spray solution for treatment of plants, comprising an amount, effective for controlling coffee rust, citrus black spot, citrus scab or banana black sigatoka disease, of at least one compound of formula (I) as herein defined or salts thereof. The spray solution may comprise other customary constituents, such as solvents, formulation aids, especially water. Further constituents may include active agrochemical ingredients described herein.
The present invention further provides for the use of corresponding spray solutions for increasing the control of coffee rust, citrus black spot, citrus scab or banana black sigatoka disease. The remarks which follow apply both to the inventive use of at least one compound of formula (I) as herein defined or salts thereof, per se and to the corresponding spray solutions, and to the method of the invention comprising applying said compound, salt thereof, and corresponding spray solutions.
The method of treatment according to the invention can be used in the treatment of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), e.g. plants or seeds. Genetically modified plants (or transgenic plants) are plants of which a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into genome. The expression “heterologous gene” essentially means a gene which is provided or assembled outside the plant and when introduced in the nuclear, chloroplastic or mitochondrial genome gives the transformed plant new or improved agronomic or other properties by expressing a protein or polypeptide of interest or by downregulating or silencing other gene(s) which are present in the plant (using for example, antisense technology, cosuppression technology, RNA interference—RNAi—technology or microRNA—miRNA—technology). A heterologous gene that is located in the genome is also called a transgene. A transgene that is defined by its particular location in the plant genome is called a transformation or transgenic event.
Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the active compounds and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, bigger fruits, larger plant height, greener leaf color, earlier flowering, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher sugar concentration within the fruits, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible, which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected.
At certain application rates, the active compound combinations according to the invention may also have a strengthening effect in plants. Accordingly, they are also suitable for mobilizing the defense system of the plant against attack by unwanted microorganisms. This may, if appropriate, be one of the reasons of the enhanced activity of the combinations according to the invention, for example against fungi. Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances are to be understood as meaning, in the present context, those substances or combinations of substances which are capable of stimulating the defense system of plants in such a way that, when subsequently inoculated with unwanted microorganisms, the treated plants display a substantial degree of resistance to these microorganisms. In the present case, unwanted microorganisms are to be understood as meaning phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses. Thus, the substances according to the invention can be employed for protecting plants against attack by the abovementioned pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time within which protection is effected generally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds.
The compound of the formula (I), or salt thereof, to be used in accordance with the invention can be converted to customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, water- and oil-based suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, soluble granules, granules for broadcasting, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural compounds impregnated with active ingredient, synthetic substances impregnated with active ingredient, fertilizers, and also microencapsulations in polymeric substances. In the context of the present invention, it is especially preferred when 4-phenylbutyric acid or salts thereof, of the formula (I), are used in the form of a spray formulation.
The formulations for spray application are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the 4-phenylbutyric acid or salts thereof, of the formula (I) with extenders, i.e. liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with use of surfactants, i.e. emulsifiers and/or dispersants and/or foam formers. Further customary additives, for example customary extenders and solvents or diluents, dyes, wetting agents, dispersants, emulsifiers, antifoams, preservatives, secondary thickeners, stickers, gibberellins and also water, can optionally also be used. The formulations are produced either in suitable plants or else before or during application.
The auxiliaries used may be those substances which are suitable for imparting, to the composition itself and/or to preparations derived therefrom (for example spray liquors), particular properties such as particular technical properties and/or else special biological properties. Typical auxiliaries include: extenders, solvents and carriers.
Suitable extenders are, for example, water, polar and nonpolar organic chemical liquids, for example from the classes of the aromatic and nonaromatic hydrocarbons (such as paraffins, alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, chlorobenzenes), the alcohols and polyols (which may optionally also be substituted, etherified and/or esterified), the ketones (such as acetone, cyclohexanone), esters (including fats and oils) and (poly)ethers, the unsubstituted and substituted amines, amides, lactams (such as N-alkylpyrrolidones) and lactones, the sulfones and sulfoxides (such as dimethyl sulfoxide).
If the extender utilized is water, it is also possible to use, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Useful liquid solvents essentially include: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, and also water.
It is possible to use dyes such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyes such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
Useful wetting agents which may be present in the formulations usable in accordance with the invention are all substances which promote wetting and which are conventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Preference is given to using alkyl naphthalenesulfonates, such as diisopropyl or diisobutyl naphthalenesulfonates.
Useful dispersants and/or emulsifiers which may be present in the formulations usable in accordance with the invention are all nonionic, anionic and cationic dispersants conventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Usable with preference are nonionic or anionic dispersants or mixtures of nonionic or anionic dispersants. Suitable nonionic dispersants are especially ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block polymers, alkylphenol polyglycol ethers and tristryrylphenol polyglycol ether, and the phosphated or sulfated derivatives thereof. Suitable anionic dispersants are especially lignosulfonates, polyacrylic acid salts and arylsulfonate/formaldehyde condensates.
Antifoams which may be present in the formulations usable in accordance with the invention are all foam-inhibiting substances conventionally used for the formulation of active agrochemical ingredients. Silicone antifoams and magnesium stearate can be used with preference.
Preservatives which may be present in the formulations usable in accordance with the invention are all substances usable for such purposes in agrochemical compositions. Examples include dichlorophene and benzyl alcohol hemiformal.

Preferred examples include cellulose derivatives, acrylic acid derivatives, xanthan, modified clays and finely divided silica.
Stickers which may be present in the formulations usable in accordance with the invention include all customary binders usable in seed-dressing products. Preferred examples include polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol and tylose. Gibberellins which may be present in the formulations usable in accordance with the invention may preferably be gibberellins A1, A3 (=gibberellic acid), A4 and A7; particular preference is given to using gibberellic acid. The gibberellins are known (cf. R. Wegler “Chemie der Pflanzenschutz- and Schädlingsbekämpfungsmittel” [Chemistry of the Crop Protection Compositions and Pesticides], vol. 2, Springer Verlag, 1970, p. 401-412).
Further additives may be fragrances, mineral or vegetable, optionally modified oils, waxes and nutrients (including trace nutrients), such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc. Additionally present may be stabilizers, such as cold stabilizers, antioxidants, light stabilizers or other agents which improve chemical and/or physical stability.
The formulations contain generally between 0.01 and 98% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 90%, of the 4-phenylbutyric acid and/or salts thereof, of the formula (I).
The compound of formula (I) as herein defined or salt thereof can be present in commercially available formulations and also in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with other active compounds, such as insecticides, attractants, sterilizing agents, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances, herbicides, safeners, fertilizers or semiochemicals.
The preparation and the use of the inventive compounds is illustrated by the examples which follow.

N-cyclopropyl thioamides of formula (I) wherein T represents a sulfur atom, can be prepared by thionation of a N-cyclopropyl amide of formula (I) wherein T represents a oxygen atom, according to WO-2009/016220 (process P1) and WO-2010/130767 (process P3).
The following examples illustrate in a non limiting manner the preparation of the compounds of formula (I) according to the invention.
To a solution of 55.5 g (971 mmol) of cyclopropanamine in 900 mL of methanol, are successively added 20 g of 3 Å molecular sieves and 73 g (1.21 mol) of acetic acid. 72 g (486 mmol) of 2-isopropyl-benzaldehyde are then added dropwise and the reaction mixture is further heated at reflux for 4 hours.
The reaction mixture is then cooled to 0° C. and 45.8 g (729 mmol) of sodium cyanoborohydride are added by portion in 10 min and the reaction mixture is stirred again for 3 hours at reflux. The cooled reaction mixture is filtered over a cake of diatomaceous earth. The cake is washed abundantly by methanol and the methanolic extracts are concentrated under vacuum. Water is then added to the residue and the pH is adjusted to 12 with 400 mL of a 1 N aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. The watery layer is extracted with ethyl acetate, washed by water (2×300 mL) and dried over magnesium sulfate to yield 81.6 g (88%) of N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)cyclopropanamine as a yellow oil used as such in the next step.
The hydrochloride salt can be prepared by dissolving N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)cyclopropanamine in diethyl-ether (1.4 mL/g) at 0° C. followed by addition of a 2 M solution of hydrochloric acid in diethylether (1.05 eq.). After a 2 hours stirring, N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)cyclopropanamine hydrochloride (1:1) is filtered off, washed by diethylether and dried under vacuum at 40° C. for 48 hours. Mp (melting point)=149° C.
To 40.8 g (192 mmol) of N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)cyclopropanamine in 1 L of dry tetrahydrofurane are added at room temperature, 51 mL (366 mmol) of triethylamine. A solution of 39.4 g (174 mmol) of 3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbonyl chloride in 800 mL of dry tetrahydrofurane is then added dropwise while maintaining the temperature below 34° C. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux for 2 hours then left overnight at room temperature. Salts are filtered off and the filtrate is concentrated under vacuum to yield 78.7 g of a brown oil. Column chromatography on silica gel (750 g—gradient n-heptane/ethyl acetate) yields 53 g (71% yield) of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide as a yellow oil that slowly crystallizes. Mp=76-79° C.
In the same way, compounds A2 to A19 can be prepared according to the preparation described for compound A1.
A solution of 14.6 g (65 mmol) of phosphorus pentasulfide and 48 g (131 mmol) of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide in 500 ml of dioxane are heated at 100° C. for 2 hours. 50 ml of water are then added and the reaction mixture is further heated at 100° C. for another hour. The cooled reaction mixture is filtered over a basic alumina cartridge. The cartridge is washed by dichloromethane and the combined organic extracts are dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to yield 55.3 g of an orange oil. The residue is tritured with a few mL of diethyl-ether until crystallisation occurs. Crystals are filtered off and dried under vacuum at 40° C. for 15 hours to yield 46.8 g (88% yield) of N-cyclopropyl-3-(difluoromethyl)-5-fluoro-N-(2-isopropylbenzyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carbothioamide. Mp=64-70° C.
Table 1 provides the log P and NMR data (1H) of compounds A1 to A20.
In table 1, the log P values were determined in accordance with EEC Directive 79/831 Annex V.A8 by HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) on a reversed-phase column (C 18), using the method described below:
Temperature: 40° C.; Mobile phases: 0.1% aqueous formic acid and acetonitrile; linear gradient from 10% acetonitrile to 90% acetonitrile.
Calibration was carried out using unbranched alkan-2-ones (comprising 3 to 16 carbon atoms) with known log P values (determination of the log P values by the retention times using linear interpolation between two successive alkanones). lambda-max-values were determined using UV-spectra from 200 nm to 400 nm and the peak values of the chromatographic signals.

1. Control of Rust (Hemileia vastatrix) on Coffee Crop (Field Trials).
Four field trials were implemented in Brazil in 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the performance of compounds against Hemileia vastatrix on Coffee.
The trials were carried out according to standard experimental practice to protect the canopy from the rust, responsible to defoliation and then yield losses. A typical fungicide formulation containing 100 g of compound per liter was applied in consecutive foliar sprays at 3 occasions every 30 to 50 days in most of the trials. Spray volumes vary from 400 L to 500 L/Ha.
Assessments were realized on leaves—Data are expressed in % efficacy against rust on leaves compared to untreated plants.
The assessments realized in the four trials reported in the table show the high level of efficacy of compound A5 used in solo at 50 g ai/ha, against coffee rust. The level of efficiency is in the same range than the one obtained with the standard Opera, used at the recommended dose. Nevertheless, compound A5 is able to obtain said high efficiency when it is used in solo, and at the very low dose of 50 g ai/ha, while Opera is a mix of two active ingredient, and used at the high concentration of 183 g a.i./ha (50+133).
Conclusion
The example above demonstrates that compound A5 represents a new alternative tool to control Coffee rust with low active rates of 50 g ai/ha. The efficacy at these low rates competes with already sold ready mix compounds based on mixtures of epoxyconazole and pyraclostrobin (Opera), while said latest mixtures is used at the concentration of 183 g a.i./ha.
Compound A5 has a high and unexpected better efficiency (comparable control at much less rate) than Opera and can participate to the reduction of chemical loading in plantations.
2. Control of Black Spot (Guignardia citricarpa) and Scab (Elsinoe spp) on Citrus Crop (Field Trials).
Five field trials were implemented in South Africa, Brazil and Japan in 2013 and 2014 to evaluate the performance of compounds against two main diseases having high effect on marketable yield: Elsinoe fawcettii and Guignardia citricarpa are hosted by many citrus species. Both are able to infest fruits and both are quarantine pathogens limiting the exportation outside of the growing countries. The protection against these two pathogens gives a clear advantage for farmers to be present on the export market.
The trials were carried out according to standard experimental practice to protect the canopy including fruits in each country. A typical fungicide formulation containing 100 g of compound per liter was applied in consecutive foliar sprays at 5 to 6 occasions every month to control black spot and at 1 to 3 occasions every 14 days to control Scab infections. Spray volumes vary from 2000 L to 3000 L/Ha.
Results from the Trials Guignardia Citricarpa (Black Spot)
The assessments show that compound A5 used at very low rates (from 10 g to 15 g a.i./100 L) gives superior efficacy than Mancozeb currently used to control Black Spot, despite Mancozeb is used as a very higher rate (160 g a.i./100 L). Commercial standard Mancozeb needs significantly higher a.i. concentration (around 15 times higher) to obtain comparable or even lower efficiency.
Results from the Trials Elsinoe fawcettii (Scab)
The assessments show that compound A5 used at very low rates (from 2.5 g to 5 g ai/100 L) gives superior efficacy than commercial standards Kresoxim methyl and Dithianon currently used to control Black Spot, although said commercial standards are used at very higher rate (around 10 times higher for Stroby DF and around 160 times higher for Dithianon).
Conclusion
The examples above demonstrate that compound A5 brings high level of activity at very low rates (below 15 g ai/ha) to protect significantly citrus plantations against quarantine diseases like Black spot and Scab.
The efficacy at these low rates is superior to commercial compounds, although said commercial compounds are used currently at very higher rates: at least 10 times higher (Kresoxim methyl), 15 times higher (Mancozeb) or even 160 times higher (Dithianon). Compound A5 can participate to the reduction of chemical loading in plantations.
3. Control of Black Sigatoka on Banana Crop (Field Trials).
Two field trials were implemented in 2013 in Costa Rica and Philippines to evaluate the performance of compounds against Mycosphaerella fijiensis infection on Banana.
A typical fungicide formulation containing 100 g of compound per liter was applied every 7 to 12 days in consecutive foliar sprays. The trials were carried out according to standard experimental practice with spay adjuvant and mineral oil used in tank mix as it is usual on banana plantation in each country.
Data are expressed in Number of healthy leaves present at the end of the trial on each Banana plant (more leaves present mean better quantity and quality of harvest).
Results from the Trials Black Sigatoka—Number of Healthy Leaves Per Plant.
The assessments show that compound A5 used at very low rates (6.25 g ai/ha) is able to control Black Sigatoka in plantation areas. The average of about +3 leaves per plant gives a significant advantage for further fruit production levels. Registered compound Boscalid needs higher rate (150 g a.i./ha) for equivalent or even lower efficacy measured in the trial.
Conclusion
The example above demonstrates that compound A5 represents a new standard for Banana protection with a high level of activity at very low rates, below 25 g ai/ha, to protect significantly plants against Black Sigatoka. The efficacy at these low rates is at least equivalent to already registered compound Boscalid which is used at rates at least 6 to 24 times higher, and can participate to the reduction of chemical loading in plantations.
