Formulation

The compounds of this invention will generally be used in formulation with a liquid or solid diluent or with an organic solvent. Useful formulations of the compounds of Formula I can be prepared in conventional ways. They include dusts, granules, pellets, solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates and the like. Many of these may be applied directly. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes of from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations, broadly, contain about 1% to 99% by weight of active ingredient(s) and at least one of a) about 0.1% to 35% surfactant(s) and b) about 5% to 99% solid or liquid inert diluent(s). More specifically, they will contain these ingredients in the following approximate proportions:

Percent by Weight

Active Ingredient Piluent(s) Surfactants.

Wettable Powders 20-90 0-74 1-10 and Water Disper- sible Granules

Oil Suspensions, 5-50 40-95 0-35 Emulsions, Solutions, (including Emulsifiable Concentrates)

/ , X. Λ ____,

Lower or higher levels of active ingredient can, of course, be present depending on the intended use and the physical properties of the compound. Higher ratios of surfactant to active ingredient are sometimes desirable, and are achieved by incorporation into the formulation or by tank mixing.

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, fit. al. - "Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers", 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, New Jersey. The more absorptive diluents are preferred for the wettable powders and the denser ones for dusts. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, "Solvents Guide," 2nd Ed.,

Interscience, New York, 1950. Solubility under 0.1% is preferred for suspension concentrates; solution concentrates are preferably stable against phase separation at 0°C. "McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual", MC Publishing Corp., Ridgewood, New Jersey, 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, microbio¬ logical growth, etc. Preferably, ingredients should be approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the use intended.

The methods of making 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 or fluid energy mill. Water dispersible granules may be produced by agglomerating a fine powder composition (see, for example, B. Cross and H. Scher, "Pesticide Formulations", ACS Symposium Series 371, American

Chemical Society, Washington, D. C. , 1988, pp. 251-259) . Suspensions are prepared by wet milling (see, for example. Littler, U.S. Patent 3,060,084). Granules and pellets may be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See J. E. Browning, "Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering. Dec. 4, 1967, pp. 147ff. and "Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook", 4th Edn., McGraw-Hill, N.Y. , 1963, pp. ϋ-59ff.

Application

Disease control is ordinarily accomplished by applying an effective amount of the compound, pre-infection, to the portion of the plant to be protected such as the roots, stems, foliage, fruit, seeds, tubers or bulbs. The compound may 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 10 g/ha to 10,000 g/ha of active ingredient. Seed and seedlings can normally be protected when seed is treated at a rate of from .1 to 10 g per kilogram of seed.

This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on apple seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Venturia inaeσualis (the causal agent of apple scab) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, and then moved to a growth chamber at 22°C for 11 days, after which disease ratings were made.

The test compounds were 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 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters). This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on tomato seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Phytophthora infestans (the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, and then moved to a growth chamber at 20°C for 5 days, after which disease ratings were made.

Example F

The test compounds were 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 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters) . This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on grape seedlings.

The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Plas opara viticola (the causal agent of grape downy mildew) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, moved to a growth chamber at 20°C for 6 days,and then incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, after which disease ratings were made.

Example G

The test compounds were 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 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters). This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on cucumber seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Botrytis cinerea (the causal agent of gray mold on many crops) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 48 hr, and moved to a growth chamber at 20°C for 5 days, after which disease ratings were made.

Example H

The test compounds were 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 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters) . This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on sugar beet seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Cercospora beticola (the xausal agent of sugar beet leafspot) and incubated in a a high humidity atmosphere at 22 to 30°C for 3 days, and then moved to a greenhouse at 20 to 25°C for 7 days, after which disease ratings were made.

Example I

The test compounds were dissolved in acetone in an amount equal to 3% of the final volume and then suspended at a concentration of 1000 ppm in purified water containing 250 ppm of the surfactant Trem 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters). This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on tobacco seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Peronospora tabacina (the causal agent of tobacco blue mold) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, moved to a growth chamber at 22°C for 6 days,and then incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, after which disease ratings were made.

Example J

The test compounds were 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 014 (polyhydric alcohol esters) . This suspension was sprayed to the point of run-off on cucumber seedlings. The following day the seedlings were inoculated with a spore suspension of Pseudoperonospora cubensis (the causal agent of cucumber downy mildew) and incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, moved to a growth chamber at 20°C for 6 days, and then incubated in a saturated atmosphere at 20°C for 24 hr, after which disease ratings were made.

Results for Examples A to J are given in Tables A, B and C. In the tables, a rating of 100 indicates 100% disease control and a rating of 0 indicates no disease control(relative to the carrier sprayed controls). NT indicates that no test was performed.

+ Percent control at 100 ppm, the highest concentration tested.

* Percent control at 40 ppm, the highest concentration tested.

# Percent control at 20 ppm, the highest concentration tested.
