Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for screening for a plant protectant by using metagenomic analysis of the microbial community of a habitat and a method for generating a specific fingerprint and determining the phylum, subphylum, class, order, family, genus and/or species of the microorganisms of the habitat and analyzing correspondingly the impact of a potential plant protectant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling Rhizoctonia solani in legumes, which comprises treating the seed of the legumes with a mixture comprising thiophanate-methyl and a strobilurine fungicide selected from trifloxystrobin, picoxystrobin, azoxystrobin, orysastrobin or pyraclostrobin.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for protecting a plant against a phytopathogen selected from the genus Phakopsora, wherein the seed of the plant is treated with (a) prothioconazole or a salt or adduct thereof and (b) trifloxystrobin or a salt or adduct thereof.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of insecticides, selected from GABA antagonists and nicotine receptor agonists/antagonists, optionally in combination with at least one gibberellin, as safeners for fungicides which have a phytotoxic action. The invention further relates to a method for reducing or preventing the phytotoxic action of fungicides on treated plants, or on plants the seeds of which or the growth medium of which has been or is treated with said fungicides. The invention further relates to agents, comprising at least one GABA antagonist, at least one azole fungicide, or strobiliurin fungicide and optionally at least one gibberellin and agents containing at least one nicotine receptor agonist/antagonist, at least one azole fungicide or strobilurin fungicide and optionally at lest one gibberellin.
Abstract:
The invention relates to fungicide mixtures containing, as active constituents: 1) metconazole of formula (I), and 2) prochloraz of formula (II), in synergistically effective quantities, and to means containing said mixtures.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition containing (A) at least one specific carbamate fungicide, (B) at least one specific insecticide and optionally (C) at least one azole, the use of this composition for improving plant health and a method for improving plant health by treating a plant, its propagules or the locus where the plant is growing or is to grow with the above composition.
Abstract:
Pesticidal mixtures, comprising a) clothianidine of formula (I) and b) triticonazole of formula (II), in synergistically effective amounts, plant-protecting mixtures, compositions containing the mixtures, and to methods for controlling or preventing fungal infestation or harmful insects or nematodes in plants, and methods of improving the health of plants by applying said mixtures to the plants or the locus thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for increasing the dry biomass of a plant via increasing the carbon assimilation by treating a plant, a part of the plant, the locus where the plant is growing or is intended to grow and/or the plant propagules with at least one insecticide. The invention also relates to a method for increasing the biomass of the fruit of a plant via increasing the carbon assimilation, the fruit containing 5 to 25% by weight of residual moisture, based on the total weight of the fruit, by treating a plant, a part of the plant, the locus where the plant is growing or is intended to grow and/or the plant propagules with at least one insecticide. The invention further relates to a method for increasing the carbon dioxide sequestration from the atmosphere by treating a plant, a part of the plant, the locus where the plant is growing or is intended to grow and/or the plant propagules with at least one insecticide as described below.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for controlling rusting in leguminous plants by the application of orysastrobin. The invention also relates to mixtures of orysastrobin with a fungicidal active ingredient II of the group of azols, acylalanines, amine derivatives, anilinopyrimidines, dicarboximides, dithio-carbamates, heterocyclic compounds, phenyl pyrrols, cinnamic acid amides, and the like, or other fungicides according to the description. The invention further relates to agents and seeds containing said mixtures.
