Formulation 1


5 parts of the present amide compound, 5 parts of kasugamycin, 35 parts of a mixture of white carbon and polyoxyethylene alkylether sulfate ammonium salts (weight ratio 1:1), and 55 parts of water were mixed and the resulting solution was then subjected to fine grinding according to a wet grinding method, so as to obtain a flowable formulation. The same above operations were carried out with polyoxins, streptomycin, or validamycin instead of kasugamycin, so as to obtain various types of flowable formulations.


Formulation 2


10 parts of the present amide compound, 5 parts of kasugamycin and 1.5 parts of sorbitan trioleate were mixed into 28 parts of an aqueous solution that contained 2 parts of polyvinyl alcohol, and the mixed solution was then subjected to fine grinding according to a wet grinding method. Thereafter, 45.50 parts of an aqueous solution that contained 0.05 parts of xanthan gum and 0.1 part of aluminum magnesium silicate was added to the resultant, and 10 parts of propylene glycol was further added thereto. The obtained mixture was blended by stirring, so as to obtain the flowable formulation. The same above operations were carried out with polyoxins, streptomycin, or validamycin instead of kasugamycin, so as to obtain various types of flowable formulations.


Formulation 3


10 parts of the present amide compound, 40 parts of kasugamycin, 3 parts of calcium lignosulfonate, 2 parts of sodium lauryl sulfate, and 45 parts of synthetic hydrous silicon oxide were fully crushed and mixed, so as to obtain wettable powders. The same above operations were carried out with polyoxins, streptomycin, or validamycin instead of kasugamycin, so as to obtain various types of wettable powders.


The test examples are given below.


Test Example 1

To a SUS beaker are added 30 parts of the present compound (racemate), 5 parts of Soprophor FLK (polyoxyethylene tristyrylphenyl ether phosphate, produced by Rhodia Nicca Ltd.), 65 parts of ion-exchange water and 150 parts of glass beads (1.0 mm diameter). The mixture is subjected to grinding at a velocity of 1000 rpm with cooling to 10° C., and thereafter the glass beads are separated, so as to obtain a flowable formulation comprising the present compound (racemate).


True leaf of cucumber is punched out with cork borer to 13 mm in diameter to prepare a leaf disk. In 24 well microwell plate that is dispensed with 1 ml 0.8% water agar, the leaf disk is placed such that the upper side of the leaf is in an upward direction. Thereto is added 20 micro liter a testing solution prepared by mixing the flowable formulation of the present compound (racemate) prepared by the above procedure and a commercial liquid formulation of validamycin or a commercial wettable powders of polyoxins to a predetermined concentration to treat the leaf disk.


After confirming that the testing medical solution is dried, conidium of gray mold fungus (Botrytis cinerea) is suspended into potato dextrose broth (DIFCO) in a density of about 105 conidium/mL and is then subjected to a spray inoculation. After leaving to stand the leaf disk in a growth chamber set up at 15° C. for four days, an onset area on the leaf is measured and then calculated an onset area rate (hereinafter, referred to as an onset area rate of treated group).


The same operation is carried out with 20 micro liter water instead of 20 micro liter a testing medicine solution to calculate an onset area rate (hereinafter, referred to an onset area rate of non-treated group).


A preventive value is calculated from the above onset area rate of treated group and the onset area rate of non-treated group by the following equation:

Preventive value (%)=100×(A−B)/A


wherein


A: an onset area rate of treated group


B: an onset area rate of non-treated group
