| Full Text | Fungicidal mixtures of triticonazole and difenoconazole Description The present invention relates to fungicidal mixtures comprising, as active components, 1) triticonazole of the formula I 2) difenoconazole of the formula II in a synergistically effective amount. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for controlling harmful fungi using mixtures of the compound I and the compound II, and to the use of the compound I and the compound II for preparing such mixtures, and also to compositions comprising these mixtures. The compound I, ( +) E-5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2,2-dimethyl-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1- ylmethyl) cyclopentanol, its preparation and its action against harmful fungi is likewise known from the literature EP-A-0378 953. The common name is triticonazole. Enantiomers of triticonazole are disclosed in WO 2007/107556. The active compound difenoconazole, referred to above as component 2, is 1-[2-[4-(4- chlorophenoxy)-2-chlorophenyl]-4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-ylmethyl]-1 H-1,2,4-triazole, whose preparation and whose action against harmful fungi is likewise known (EP-A 0 065 485). EP-A 0 466 612 discloses a process for the control of fungicidal diseases of cultivated plants by applying to the leaves a mixture of triticonazole with one or more other fungi- cides. Difenoconazole is not disclosed as a suitable mixing partner. EP-A 0 467 792 discloses a fungicidal composition for the protection of seeds which contains a mixture of triticonazole with one or more other fungicides. Difenoconazole is not disclosed as a suitable mixing partner. With a view to reducing the application rates and broadening the activity spectrum of the known compounds, it was an object of the present invention to provide mixtures which, at a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, show improved activity against harmful fungi, in particular for certain applications. Accordingly we have found the mixtures defined at the outset. Moreover, it has been found that simultaneous, that is joint or separate, application of compound I and com- pound II, or compound I and compound II applied in succession, allows better control of harmful fungi than the individual compounds (synergistic mixtures). Simultaneous, that is joint or separate, application of compound I and compound II increases the fungicidal activity in a superadditive manner. The mixtures of compound I and compound 11, or the simultaneous, that is joint or separate, use of compound I and compound II are distinguished by an invigorating and yield-increasing effect on plants, in particular leguminous plants, and excellent efficacy against a broad spectrum of phytopathogenic fungi, including soil-borne fungi, which derive especially from the classes of the Plasmodiophoromycetes, Peronosporomy- cetes (syn. Oomycetes), Chytridiomycetes, Zygomycetes, Ascomycetes, Basidiomy- cetes and Deuteromycetes (syn. Fungi imperfecti). Some are systemically effective and they can be used in crop protection as foliar fungicides, fungicides for seed dressing and soil fungicides. Moreover, they are suitable for controlling harmful fungi, which inter alia occur in wood or roots of plants. The mixtures of compound I and compound II and the compositions according to the invention are particularly important in the control of a multitude of phytopathogenic fungi on various cultivated plants, such as cereals, e. g. wheat, rye, barley, triticale, oats or rice; beet, e. g. sugar beet or fodder beet; fruits, such as pomes, stone fruits or soft fruits, e. g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, almonds, cherries, strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries or gooseberries; leguminous plants, such as lentils, peas, alfalfa or soybeans; oil plants, such as rape, mustard, olives, sunflowers, coconut, cocoa beans, castor oil plants, oil palms, ground nuts or soybeans; cucurbits, such as squashes, cucumber or melons; fiber plants, such as cotton, flax, hemp or jute; citrus fruit, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits or mandarins; vegetables, such as spinach, lettuce, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits or pa- prika; lauraceous plants, such as avocados, cinnamon or camphor; energy and raw material plants, such as corn, soybean, rape, sugar cane or oil palm; corn; tobacco; nuts; coffee; tea; bananas; vines (table grapes and grape juice grape vines); hop; turf; natural rubber plants or ornamental and forestry plants, such as flowers, shrubs, broad- leaved trees or evergreens, e. g. conifers; and on the plant propagation material, such as seeds, and the crop material of these plants. Preferably, mixtures of compound I and compound II and compositions thereof, respec- tively are used for controlling a multitude of fungi on field crops, such as potatoes sugar beets, tobacco, wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, rape, legumes, sunflowers, coffee or sugar cane; fruits; vines; ornamentals; or vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, beans or squashes. The term "plant propagation materia!" is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (e. g. potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This in- cludes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germi- nation or after emergence from soil. These young plants may also be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion or pouring. Preferably, treatment of plant propagation materials with mixtures of compound I and compound II and compositions thereof, respectively, is used for controlling a multitude of fungi on cereals, such as wheat, rye, barley and oats; rice, corn, cotton and soy- beans. The term "cultivated plants" is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering including but not limiting to agricultural biotech products on the market or in development (cf. http://www.bio.org/speeches/pubs/er/agri_products.asp). Genetically modified plants are plants, which genetic material has been so modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not lim- ited to targeted post-transtional modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides e. g. by glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated or farnesylated moie- ties or PEG moieties. Plants that have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering, e. g. have been rendered tolerant to applications of specific classes of herbicides, such as hydroxypheny I pyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors; acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, such as sulfonyl ureas (see e. g. US 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/26390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/02526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/14357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073) or imida- zolinones (see e. g. US 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/026390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/002526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/014357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073); enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate syn- thase (EPSPS) inhibitors, such as glyphosate (see e. g. WO 92/00377); glutamine syn- thetase (GS) inhibitors, such as glufosinate (see e.g. EP-A 242 236, EP-A 242 246) or oxynil herbicides (see e. g. US 5,559,024) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. Several cultivated plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis), e. g. Clearfield® summer rape (Canola, BASF SE, Germany) being tolerant to imidazolinones, e. g. imazamox. Genetic engineering methods have been used to render cultivated plants such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and rape, tolerant to herbicides such as glypho- sate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate-tolerant, Monsanto, U.S.A.) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate- tolerant, Bayer CropScience, Germany). Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA tech- niques capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins, especially those known from the bacterial genus Bacillus, particularly from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as 5- endotoxins, e. g. CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CrylF, CrylF(a2), CryllA(b), CrylllA, CrylllB(bl) or Cry9c; vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e. g. VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; insecti- cidal proteins of bacteria colonizing nematodes, e. g. Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhab- dus spp.; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins, or other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such Streptomy- cetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea or barley lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibi- tors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin or papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-IDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors or HMG-CoA-reductase; ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone receptors (helicokinin recep- tors); stilben synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases or glucanases. In the context of the present invention these insecticidal proteins or toxins are to be understood ex- pressly also as pre-toxins, hybrid proteins, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Hybrid proteins are characterized by a new combination of protein domains, (see, e. g. WO 02/015701). Further examples of such toxins or genetically modified plants capa- ble of synthesizing such toxins are disclosed, e. g., in EP-A 374 753, WO 93/007278, WO 95/34656, EP-A 427 529, EP-A 451 878, WO 03/18810 und WO 03/52073. The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the per- son skilled in the art and are described, e. g. in the publications mentioned above. These insecticidal proteins contained in the genetically modified plants impart to the plants producing these proteins tolerance to harmful pests from all taxonomic groups of athropods, especially to beetles (Coeloptera), two-winged insects (Diptera), and moths (Lepidoptera) and to nematodes (Nematoda). Genetically modified plants capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins are, e. g., described in the publications mentioned above, and some of which are commercially available such as YieldGard® (corn cultivars producing the CrylAb toxin), YieldGard® Plus (corn cultivars producing Cry1 Ab and Cry3Bb1 toxins), Starlink® (corn cultivars producing the Cry9c toxin), Her- culex® RW (corn cultivars producing Cry34Ab1, Cry35Ab1 and the enzyme Phosphi- nothricin-N-Acetyltransferase [PAT]); NuCOTN® 33B (cotton cultivars producing the Cry1 Ac toxin), Bollgard® I (cotton cultivars producing the Cry1 Ac toxin), Bollgard® II (cotton cultivars producing CrylAc and Cry2Ab2 toxins); VIPCOT® (cotton cultivars producing a VIP-toxin); NewLeaf® (potato cultivars producing the Cry3A toxin); Bt- Xtra®, NatureGard®, KnockOut®, BiteGard®, Protecta®, Bt11 (e. g. Agrisure® CB) and Bt176 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France, (corn cultivars producing the CrylAb toxin and PAT enyzme), MIR604 from Syngenta Seeds SAS, France (corn cultivars produc- ing a modified version of the Cry3A toxin, c.f. WO 03/018810), MON 863 from Mon- santo Europe S.A., Belgium (corn cultivars producing the Cry3Bb1 toxin), IPC 531 from Monsanto Europe S.A., Belgium (cotton cultivars producing a modified version of the CrylAc toxin) and 1507 from Pioneer Overseas Corporation, Belgium (corn cultivars producing the CrylF toxin and PAT enzyme). Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA tech- niques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the resistance or toler- ance of those plants to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens. Examples of such proteins are the so-called "pathogenesis-related proteins" (PR proteins, see, e. g. EP-A 392 225), plant disease resistance genes (e. g. potato cultivars, which express resistance genes acting against Phytophthora infestans derived from the mexican wild potato Solanum bulbocastanum) or T4-lysozym (e. g. potato cultivars capable of syn- thesizing these proteins with increased resistance against bacteria such as Erwinia amylvora). The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e. g. in the publications men- tioned above. Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA tech- niques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the productivity (e. g. bio mass production, grain yield, starch content, oil content or protein content), toler- ance to drought, salinity or other growth-limiting environmental factors or tolerance to pests and fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens of those plants. Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve human or animal nutrition, e. g. oil crops that produce health- promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or unsaturated omega-9 fatty acids (e. g. Nexera® rape, DOW Agro Sciences, Canada). Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve raw material production, e. g. potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e. g. Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany).

The mixtures of compound I and compound II and compositions thereof, resepctively, are also suitable for controlling harmful fungi in the protection of materials (e. g. wood, paper, paint dispersions, fiber or fabrics) and in the protection of stored products. As to the protection of wood and construction materials, the particular attention is paid to the following harmful fungi: Ascomycetes such as Ophiostoma spp., Ceratocystis spp., Aureobasidium pullulans, Sclerophoma spp., Chaetomium spp., Humicola spp., Petriella spp., Trichurus spp.; Basidiomycetes such as Coniophora spp., Coriolus spp., Gloeophyllum spp., Lentinus spp., Pleurotus spp., Poria spp., Serpula spp. and Tyro- myces spp., Deuteromycetes such as Aspergillus spp., Cladosporium spp., Penicillium spp., Trichorma spp., Alternaria spp., Paecilomyces spp. and Zygomycetes such as Mucor spp., and in addition in the protection of stored products the following yeast fungi are worthy of note: Candida spp. and Saccharomyces cerevisae. The mixtures of compound I and compound II and compositions thereof, resepectively, may be used for improving the health of a plant. The invention also relates to a method for improving plant health by treating a plant, its propagation material and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is to grow with an effective amount of compounds I and compositions thereof, respectively. The term "plant health" is to be understood to denote a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several indicators alone or in combination with each other such as yield (e. g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable in- gredients), plant vigor (e. g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves ("greening effect")), quality (e. g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients) and tol- erance to abiotic and/or biotic stress.The above identified indicators for the health con- dition of a plant may be interdependent or may result from each other. The mixtures of compound I and compound II can be present in different crystal modifi- cations whose biological activity may differ. They are likewise subject matter of the pre- sent invention. The mixtures of compound I and compound II are employed as such or in form of com- positions by treating the fungi or the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from fungal attack with a fungicidally effective amount of the active substances. The application can be carried out both be- fore and after the infection of the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms by the fungi. Plant propagation materials may be treated with mixtures of compound I and com- pound II prophylactically either at or before planting or transplanting. The invention also relates to agrochemical compositions comprising a solvent or solid carrier and mixtures of compound I and compound II and to the use for controlling harmful fungi. An agrochemical composition comprises a fungicidally effective amount of mixtures of compound I and compound II. The term "effective amount" denotes an amount of the composition or of the compound I and compound II, which is sufficient for controlling harmful fungi on cultivated plants or in the protection of materials and which does not result in a substantial damage to the treated plants. Such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, such as the fungal species to be con- trolled, the treated cultivated plant or material, the climatic conditions and the specific mixtures of compound I and compound II used. The mixtures of compound I and compound II can be converted into customary types of agrochemical compositions, e. g. solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules. The composition type depends on the particular intended pur- pose; in each case, it should ensure a fine and uniform distribution of the compound according to the invention. Examples for composition types are suspensions (SC, OD, FS), pastes, pastilles, wet- table powders or dusts (WP, SP, SS, WS, DP, DS) or granules (GR, FG, GG, MG), which can be water-soluble or wettable, as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds (GF). Usually the composition types (e. g. SC, OD, FS, WG, SG, WP, SP, SS, WS, GF) are employed diluted. Composition types such as DP, DS, GR, FG, GG and MG are usu- ally used undiluted.

Examples for composition types are: 1. Composition types for dilution with water i) Water-soluble concentrates (SL, LS) 10 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are dissolved in 90 parts by weight of water or in a water-soluble solvent. As an alternative, wetting agents or other auxiliaries are added. The active substance dis- solves upon dilution with water. In this way, a composition having a content of 10% by weight of active substance is obtained. ii) Dispersible concentrates (DC) 20 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are dissolved in 70 parts by weight of cyclohexanone with addition of 10 parts by weight of a dispersant, e. g. polyvinylpyrrolidone.

The active substance content is 20% by weight. iii)Emulsifiable concentrates (EC) 15 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are dissolved in 75 parts by weight of xylene with addition of calcium dodecyl- benzenesulfonate and castor oil ethoxylate (in each case 5 parts by weight). Dilution with water gives an emulsion. The composition has an active substance content of 15% by weight. iv)Emulsions(EW, EO, ES) 25 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are dissolved in 35 parts by weight of xylene with addition of calcium dodecyl- benzenesulfonate and castor oil ethoxylate (in each case 5 parts by weight). This mix- ture is introduced into 30 parts by weight of water by means of an emulsifying machine (Ultraturrax) and made into a homogeneous emulsion. Dilution with water gives an emulsion. The composition has an active substance content of 25% by weight. v) Suspensions (SC, OD, FS) In an agitated ball mill, 20 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the invention are comminuted with addition of 10 parts by weight of dis- persants and wetting agents and 70 parts by weight of water or an organic solvent to give a fine active substance suspension. Dilution with water gives a stable suspension of the active substance. The active substance content in the composition is 20% by weight. vi)Water-dispersible granules and water-soluble granules (WG, SG) 50 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are ground finely with addition of 50 parts by weight of dispersants and wetting agents and prepared as water-dispersible or water-soluble granules by means of tech- nical appliances (e. g. extrusion, spray tower, fluidized bed). Dilution with water gives a stable dispersion or solution of the active substance. The composition has an active substance content of 50% by weight. vii) Water-dispersible powders and water-soluble powders (WP, SP, SS, WS) 75 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are ground in a rotor-stator mill with addition of 25 parts by weight of dispers- ants, wetting agents and silica gel. Dilution with water gives a stable dispersion or solu- tion of the active substance. The active substance content of the composition is 75% by weight. viii) Gel (GF) In an agitated ball mill, 20 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the invention are comminuted with addition of 10 parts by weight of dis- persants, 1 part by weight of a gelling agent wetters and 70 parts by weight of water or of an organic solvent to give a fine suspension of the active substance. Dilution with water gives a stable suspension of the active substance, whereby a composition with 20% (w/w) of active substance is obtained. 2. Composition types to be applied undiluted ix)Dustable powders (DP, DS) 5 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are ground finely and mixed intimately with 95 parts by weight of finely divided kaolin. This gives a dustable composition having an active substance content of 5% by weight. x) Granules (GR, FG, GG, MG) 0.5 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention is ground finely and associated with 99.5 parts by weight of carriers. Current methods are extrusion, spray-drying or the fluidized bed. This gives granules to be ap- plied undiluted having an active substance content of 0.5% by weight. xi)ULV solutions (UL) 10 parts by weight of mixtures of compound I and compound II according to the in- vention are dissolved in 90 parts by weight of an organic solvent, e. g. xylene. This gives a composition to be applied undiluted having an active substance content of 10% by weight. The agrochemical compositions generally comprise between 0.01 and 95%, preferably between 0.1 and 90%, most preferably between 0.5 and 90%, by weight of active sub- stance. The active substances are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, prefera- bly from 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum). Water-soluble concentrates (LS), flowable concentrates (FS), powders for dry treat- ment (DS), water-dispersible powders for slurry treatment (WS), water-soluble powders (SS), emulsions (ES) emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and gels (GF) are usually em- ployed for the purposes of treatment of plant propagation materials, particularly seeds. These compositions can be applied to plant propagation materials, particularly seeds, diluted or undiluted. The compositions in question give, after two-to-tenfold dilution, active substance concentrations of from 0.01 to 60% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 40% by weight, in the ready-to-use preparations. Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying or treating agrochemical compounds and com- positions thereof, respectively, on to plant propagation material, especially seeds, are known in the art, and include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking and in- furrow application methods of the propagation material. In a preferred embodiment, the compounds or the compositions thereof, respectively, are applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e. g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating and dusting. In a preferred embodiment, a suspension-type (FS) composition is used for seed treatment. Typcially, a FS composition may comprise 1-800 g/l of active substance, 1-200 g/l Surfactant, 0 to 200 g/l antifreezing agent, 0 to 400 g/l of binder, 0 to 200 g/l of a pigment and up to 1 liter of a solvent, preferably water. The active substances can be used as such or in the form of their compositions, e. g. in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions, dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dustable products, materials for spreading, or granules, by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading, brushing, immersing or pouring. The application forms depend entirely on the intended purposes; it is intended to ensure in each case the finest possible distribution of the active substances according to the in- vention. Aqueous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders (sprayable powders, oil dispersions) by adding water. To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substances, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates composed of active sub- stance, wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate, solvent or oil, and such concentrates are suitable for dilution with water. The active substance concentrations in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, they are from 0.0001 to 10%, preferably from 0.001 to 1 % by weight of active substance. The active substances may also be used successfully in the ultra-low-volume process (ULV), it being possible to apply compositions comprising over 95% by weight of active substance, or even to apply the active substance without additives. When employed in plant protection, the mixtures according to the invention applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, between 0.01 and 2.0 kg of active substance per ha, preferably from 5 g/ha to 2000 g/ha, more preferred from 50 to 900 g/ha, in particular from 50 to 750 g/ha. Correspondingly, the application rates for the compound I are generally from 1 to 1000 g/ha, preferably from 10 to 900 g/ha, in particular from 20 to 750 g/ha. Correspondingly, the application rates for the active compound II are generally from 1 to 2000 g/ha, preferably from 10 to 900 g/ha, in particular from 40 to 500 g/ha. In treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds, e. g. by dusting, coating or drenching seed, amounts of active substance of from 1 to 1000 g, preferably from 5 to 100 g, per 100 kilogram of seed are generally required. When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active sub- stance applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are, e. g., 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active substance per cubic meter of treated material. Various types of oils, wetters, adjuvants, herbicides, bactericides, other fungicides and/or pesticides may be added to the active substances or the compositions com- prising them, if appropriate not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). These agents can be admixed with the compositions according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:10 to 10:1. Adjuvants which can be used are in particular organic modified polysiloxanes such as Break Thru S 240®; alcohol alkoxylates such as Atplus 245®, Atplus MBA 1303®, Plu- rafac LF 300® and Lutensol ON 30®; EO/PO block polymers, e. g. Pluronic RPE 2035® and Genapol B®; alcohol ethoxylates such as Lutensol XP 80®; and dioctyl sulfosucci- nate sodium such as Leophen RA®. The compositions according to the invention can, in the use form as fungicides, also be present together with other active substances, e. g. with herbicides, insecticides, growth regulators, fungicides or else with fertilizers, as pre-mix or, if appropriate, not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). Mixing the mixtures of compound I and compound il or the compositions comprising them in the use form as fungicides with other fungicides results in many cases in an expansion of the fungicidal spectrum of activity being obtained or in a prevention of fungicide resistance development. Furthermore, in many cases, synergistic effects are obtained.

The present invention furthermore relates to agrochemical compositions comprising a mixture of at least one mixture of compound I and compound II (component 1) and at least one further active substance useful for plant protection, e. g. selected from the groups A) to I) (component 2), in particular one further fungicide, e. g. one or more fun- gicide from the groups A) to F), as described above, and if desired one suitable solvent or solid carrier. Those mixtures are of particular interest, since many of them at the same application rate show higher efficiencies against harmful fungi. Furthermore, combating harmful fungi with a mixture of mixtures of compound I and compound II and at least one fungicide from groups A) to F), as described above, is more efficient than combating those fungi with mixtures of compound I and compound II or individual fun- gicides from groups A) to F). By applying mixtures of compound I and compound II together with at least one active substance from groups A) to I) a synergistic effect can be obtained, i.e. more then simple addition of the individual effects is obtained (syner- gistic mixtures). According to this invention, applying the mixtures of compound I and compound II to- gether with at least one further active substance together is to be understood to de- note, that at least a mixture of compound I and compound II and at least one further active substance occur simultaneously at the site of action (i.e. the harmful fungi to be controlled or their habitats such as infected plants, plant propagation materials, particu- larly seeds, surfaces, materials or the soil as well as plants, plant propagation materi- als, particularly seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from fungal attack) in a fungicidally effective amount. This can be obtained by applying the mixtures of compound I and compound II and at least one further active substance simultane- ously, either jointly (e. g. as tank-mix) or sperately, or in succession, wherein the time interval between the individual applications is selected to ensure that the active sub- stance applied first still occurs at the site of action in a sufficient amount at the time of application of the further active substance(s). The order of application is not essential for working of the present invention. In binary mixtures, i.e. compositions according to the invention comprising a mixture of compound I and compound II, the weight ratio of compound I and compound II gener- ally depends from the properties of the active substances used, usually it is in the range of from 1:100 to 100:1, regularly in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1, preferably in the range of from 1:20 to 20:1 and particularly in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1. In ternary mixtures, i.e. compositions according to the invention comprising a mixture of compound I and compound II (component 1) and a further active substance (compo- nent 2), e. g. one active substance from groups A) to I), the weight ratio of component 1 and component 2 depends from the properties of the active substances used, pref- erably it is in the range of from 1:50 to 50:1 and particularly in the range of from 1:10 to 10:1. The components can be used individually or already partially or completely mixed with one another to prepare the composition according to the invention. It is also possible for them to be packaged and used further as combination composition such as a kit of parts. In one embodiment of the invention, the kits may include one or more, including all, components that may be used to prepare a subject agrochemical composition. E. g., kits may include one or more fungicide component(s) and/or an adjuvant component and/or a insecticide component and/or a growth regulator component and/or a her- bicde. One or more of the components may already be combined together or pre- formulated. In those embodiments where more than two components are provided in a kit, the components may already be combined together and as such are packaged in a single container such as a vial, bottle, can, pouch, bag or canister. In other embodi- ments, two or more components of a kit may be packaged separately, i. e., not pre- formuiated. As such, kits may include one or more separate containers such as vials, cans, bottles, pouches, bags or canisters, each container containing a separate com- ponent for an agrochemical composition. In both forms, a component of the kit may be applied separately from or together with the further components or as a component of a combination composition according to the invention for preparing the composition ac- cording to the invention. The user applies the composition according to the invention usually from a predosage device, a knapsack sprayer, a spray tank or a spray plane. Here, the agrochemical composition is made up with water and/or buffer to the desired application concentra- tion, it being possible, if appropriate, to add further auxiliaries, and the ready-to-use spray liquor or the agrochemical composition according to the invention is thus ob- tained. Usually, 50 to 500 liters of the ready-to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area, preferably 100 to 400 liters. According to one embodiment, individual components of the composition according to the invention such as parts of a kit or parts of a binary or ternary mixture may be mixed by the user himself in a spray tank and further auxiliaries may be added, if appropriate (tank mix). In a further embodiment, either individual components of the composition according to the invention or partially premixed components, e. g. components comprising com- pounds I and compound II and/or active substances from the groups A) to I), may be mixed by the user in a spray tank and further auxiliaries and additives may be added, if appropriate (tank mix). In a further embodiment, either individual components of the composition according to the invention or partially premixed components, e. g. components comprising com- pound I and compound II and/or active substances from the groups A) to I), can be applied jointly (e. .g. after tankmix) or consecutively.

The mixtures of active substances can be prepared as compositions comprising be- sides the active ingredients at least one inert ingredient by usual means, e. g. by the means given for the compositions of mixtures of compound I and compound II. Concerning usual ingredients of such compositions reference is made to the explana- tions given for the compositions containing mixtures of compound I and compound II. Use examples The fungicidal action of the compounds and the mixtures can be demonstrated by the following tests: Microtest The active compounds were formulated separately as a stock solution having a con- centration of 10000 ppm in dimethyl sulfoxide. 1. Activity against the grey mold Botrytis cinerea in the microtiterplate test (Botrci) The stock solutions were mixed according to the ratio, pipetted onto a micro titer plate (MTP) and diluted with water to the stated concentrations. A spore suspension of Botrci cinerea in an aqueous biomalt solution was then added. The plates were placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at a temperature of 18°C. Using an absorption pho- tometer, the MTPs were measured at 405 nm 7 days after the inoculation. 2. Activity against rice blast Pyricularia oryzae in the microtiterplate test (Pyrior) The stock solutions were mixed according to the ratio, pipetted onto a micro titer plate (MTP) and diluted with water to the stated concentrations. A spore suspension of Pyricularia oryzae in an aqueous biomalt solution was then added. The plates were placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at a temperature of 18°C. Using an absorp- tion photometer, the MTPs were measured at 405 nm 7 days after the inoculation. The measured parameters were compared to the growth of the active compound-free control variant (100%) and the fungus-free and active compound-free blank value to determine the relative growth in % of the pathogens in the respective active com- pounds. These percentages were converted into efficacies. An efficacy of 0 means that the growth level of the pathogens corresponds to that of the untreated control; an effi- cacy of 100 means that the pathogens were not growing. The expected efficacies of active compound mixtures were determined using Colby's formula [R.S. Colby, "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations", Weeds 15, 20-22 (1967)] and compared with the observed efficacies. The efficacy (E) is calculated as follows using Abbot's formula: α corresponds to the fungicidal infection of the treated plants in % and β corresponds to the fungicidal infection of the untreated (control) plants in % An efficacy of 0 means that the infection level of the treated plants corresponds to that of the untreated control plants; an efficacy of 100 means that the treated plants are not infected. The expected efficacies of mixtures of active compounds were determined using Colby's formula (Colby, S.R. "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations", Weeds, 15, 20-22, 1967) and compared with the observed efficacies. Colby's formula: E expected efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when using the mixture of the active compounds A and B at the concentrations a and b x efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when using the active compound A at the concentration a y efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when using the active compound B at the concentration b The test results show that, by virtue of the synergism, the activity of the mixtures ac- cording to the invention is considerably higher than had been predicted using Colby's formula.
