C.sub.1-C.sub.4-haloalkoxy (in particular trifluoromethoxy).
[0027] Preferred substituents R.sup.1 are C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkyl
(methyl, ethyl, n- and isopropyl and t-butyl),
C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkylene-C.sub.3-C.sub.7-cycloalkyl,
C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkenyl (in particular ethenyl, propenyl and
butenyl, which may be substituted, in particular by halogen
(preferably Cl)), propynyl, cyanomethyl and methoxymethyl. Among
the C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkylene-C.sub.3-C.sub.7-cycloalkyl
substituents, methylene-substituted compounds, in particular
methylenecyclopropyl, methylenecyclopentyl, methylenecyclohexyl and
methylenecyclohexenyl, are particularly preferred. The rings in
these substituents may be substituted, preferably by halogen.
[0028] Suitable substituents R.sup.2 are, in addition to phenyl
(unsubstituted or substituted), in particular thienyl, pyrazolyl,
pyrrolyl, imidazolyl, thiazolyl, furyl, pyridazinyl and
pyrimidinyl. Preferred substituents at these ring systems are
halogen (in particular F and Cl), C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkoxy (in
particular methoxy) and C.sub.1-C.sub.4-alkyl (in particular
methyl, ethyl). The number of the ring substituents can be from 1
to 3 and is in particular 1 or 2. Particular preference is given to
phenyl or substituted phenyl.
[0029] Preferred compounds of the formula II are shown in the
tables of WO 96/019442, which has already been mentioned. Among
these compounds, in turn, particular preference is given to the
compounds listed in Table 1 below (R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each

[0034] The physical data of these compounds and processes for their
preparation are given in the already mentioned WO 96/19442, DE
197441098.7 and DE 19741099.5.
[0035] The ratios of the compounds I and II can be varied within
wide ranges; the active compounds are preferably employed in a
ratio by weight in the range from 20:1 to 1:20, in particular 10:1
to 1:10.
[0036] When preparing the mixtures, it is preferred to employ the
pure active ingredients I and II, to which further active
ingredients against harmful fungi or other pests, such as insects,
arachnids or nematodes, or else herbicidal or growth-regulating
active ingredients or fertilizers can be admixed.
[0037] The mixtures of the compounds I and II, or the compounds I
and II used simultaneously, jointly or separately, exhibit
outstanding activity against a wide range of phytopathogenic fungi,
in particular from the classes of the Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes,
Phycomycetes and Deuteromycetes. Some of them act systemically and
can therefore be employed as foliar- and soil-acting
fungicides.
[0038] They are especially important for controlling a large number
of fungi in a variety of crop plants, such as cotton, vegetable
species (e.g. cucumbers, beans, tomatoes, potatoes and cucurbits),
barley, grass, oats, bananas, coffee, maize, fruit species, rice,
rye, soya, grapevine, wheat, ornamentals, sugar cane, and a variety
of seeds.
[0039] They are particularly suitable for controlling the following
phytopathogenic fungi: Erysiphe graminis (powdery mildew) in
cereals, Erysiphe cichoracearum and Sphaerotheca fuliginea in
cucurbits, Podosphaera leucotricha in apples, Uncinula necator in
grapevines, Puccinia species in cereals, Rhizoctonia species in
cotton, rice and lawns, Ustilago species in cereals and sugar cane,
Venturia inaequalis (scab) in apples, Helminthosporium species in
cereals, Septoria nodorum in wheat, Botrytis cinera (gray mold) in
strawberries, vegetables, ornamentals and grapevines, Cercospora
arachidicola in groundnuts, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides in
wheat and barley, Pyricularia oryzae in rice, Phytophthora
infestans in potatoes and tomatoes, Plasmopara viticola in
grapevines, Pseudoperonospora species in hops and cucumbers,
Alternaria species in vegetables and fruit, Mycosphaerella species
in bananas and Fusarium and Verticillium species.
[0040] They can furthermore be employed in the protection of
materials (for example the protection of wood), for example against
Paecilomyces variotii.
[0041] The compounds I and II can be applied simultaneously, that
is either together or separately, or successively, the sequence, in
the case of separate application, generally not having any effect
on the result of the control measures.
[0042] Depending on the kind of effect desired, the application
rates of the mixtures according to the invention are, in particular
in agricultural crop areas, from 0.01 to 10 kg/ha, preferably 0.1
to 5 kg/ha, in particular 0.2 to 3.0 kg/ha.
[0043] The application rates of the compounds I are from 0.01 to
2.5 kg/ha, preferably 0.01 to 10 kg/ha, in particular 0.05 to 5.0
kg/ha.
[0044] Correspondingly, in the case of the compounds II, the
application 20 rates are from 0.01 to 2 kg/ha, preferably 0.02 to 2
kg/ha, in particular 0.02 to 1.0 kg/ha.
[0045] For seed treatment, the application rates of the mixture are
generally from 0.001 to 250 g/kg of seed, preferably 0.01 to 100
g/kg, in particular 0.01 to 50 g/kg.
[0046] If phytopathogenic harmful fungi are to be controlled, the
separate or joint application of the compounds I and II or of the
mixtures of the compounds I and II is effected by spraying or
dusting the seeds, the plants or the soils before or after sowing
of the plants, or before or after plant emergence.
[0047] The fungicidal synergistic mixtures according to the
invention or the compounds I and II can be formulated for example
in the form of ready-to-spray solutions, powder and suspensions or
in the form of highly concentrated aqueous, oily or other
suspensions, dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes,
dusts, materials for broadcasting or granules, and applied by
spraying, atomizing, dusting, broadcasting or watering. The use
form depends on the intended purpose; in any case, it should ensure
as fine and uniform as possible a distribution of the mixture
according to the invention.
[0048] The formulations are prepared in a known manner, e.g. by
extending the active compound with solvents and/or carriers, if
desired using emulsifiers and dispersants, it being possible also
to use other organic solvents as auxiliary solvents if water is
used as the diluent. Suitable auxiliaries for this purpose are
essentially: solvents such as aromatics (e.g. xylene), chlorinated
aromatics (e.g. chlorobenzenes), paraffins (e.g. mineral oil
fractions), alcohols (e.g. methanol, butanol), ketones (e.g.
cyclohexanone), amines (e.g. ethanolamine, dimethylformamide) and
water; carriers such as ground natural minerals (e.g. kaolins,
clays, talc, chalk) and ground synthetic minerals (e.g. finely
divided silica, silicates); emulsifiers such as nonionic and
anionic emulsifiers (e.g. polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers,
alkylsulfonates and arylsulfonates) and dispersants such as
lignosulfite waste liquors and methylcellulose.
[0049] Suitable surfactants are the alkali metal salts, alkaline
earth metal salts and ammonium salts of aromatic sulfonic acids,
e.g. ligno-, phenol-, naphthalene- and dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic
acid, and of fatty acids, alkyl- and alkylarylsulfonates, alkyl,
lauryl ether and fatty alcohol sulfates, and salts of sulfated
hexa-, hepta- and octadecanols, or of fatty alcohol glycol ethers,
condensates of sulfonated naphthalene and its derivatives with
formaldehyde, condensates of naphthalene or of the
naphthalenesulfonic acids with phenol and formaldehyde,
polyoxyethylene octylphenol ether, ethoxylated isooctyl-, octyl- or
nonylphenol, alkylphenol or tributylphenyl polyglycol ethers,
alkylaryl polyether alcohols, isotridecyl alcohol, fatty
alcohol/ethylene oxide condensates, ethoxylated castor oil,
polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers or polyoxypropylene, lauryl alcohol
polyglycol ether acetate, sorbitol esters, lignosulfite waste
liquors or methylcellulose.
[0050] Powders [lacuna] materials for broadcasting and dusts can be
prepared by mixing or jointly grinding the compounds I or II or the
mixture of the compounds I and II with a solid carrier.
[0051] Granules (e.g. coated granules, impregnated granules or
homogeneous granules) are usually prepared by binding the active
compound, or active compounds, to a solid carrier.
[0052] Fillers or solid carriers are, for example, mineral earths,
such as silicas, silica gels, silicates, talc, kaolin, limestone,
lime, chalk, bole, loess, clay, dolomite, diatomaceous earth,
calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground
synthetic materials and fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate,
ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas, and products of
vegetable origin, such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal
and nutshell meal, cellulose powders or other solid carriers.
[0053] The formulations generally comprise from 0.1 to 95% by
weight, preferably 0.5 to 90% by weight, of one of the compounds I
or II or of the mixture of the compounds I and II. The active
compounds are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably
95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum or HPLC spectrum [sic]).
[0054] The compounds I or II, the mixtures, or the corresponding
formulations, are applied by treating the harmful fungi, their
habitat, or the plants, seeds, soils, areas, materials or spaces to
be kept free from them with a fungicidally effective amount of the
mixture, or of the compounds I and II in the case of separate
application.
[0055] Application can be effected before or after infection by the
harmful fungi.
[0056] Examples of such preparations comprising the active
compounds are: [0057] I. A solution of 90 parts by weight of the
active compounds and 10 parts by weight of N-methylpyrrolidone;
this solution is suitable for use in the form of microdrops; [0058]
II. A mixture of 20 parts by weight of the active compounds, 80
parts by weight of xylene, 10 parts by weight of the adduct of 8 to
10 mol of ethylene oxide to 1 mol of oleic acid N-monoethanolamide,
5 parts by weight of the calcium salt of dodecylbenzenesulfonic
acid, 5 parts by weight of the adduct of 40 mol of ethylene oxide
to 1 mol of castor oil; a dispersion is obtained by finely
distributing the solution in water; [0059] III. An aqueous

USE EXAMPLE
[0066] The synergistic activity of the mixtures according to the
invention can be demonstrated by the following experiments:
[0067] The active compounds, separately or together, are formulated
as a 10% emulsion in a mixture of 63% by weight of cyclohexanone
and 27% by weight of emulsifier, and diluted with water to the
desired concentration.
[0068] Evaluation is carried out by determining the infected leaf
areas in percent. These percentages are converted into efficacies.
The efficacy (W) is calculated-as follows using Abbot's formula:
W-(1-.alpha./.beta.)100 [0069] .alpha. corresponds to the fungal
infection of the treated plants in % and [0070] .beta. corresponds
to the fungal infection of the untreated (control) plants in %
[0071] 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 were not
infected.
[0072] The expected efficacies of the mixtures of the active
compounds were determined using Colby's formula [R. S. Colby, Weeds
15, 20-22 (1967)] and compared with the observed efficacies.
Colby's formula: E=x+y-xy/100 [0073] 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 [0074] x efficacy,
expressed in % of the untreated control, when using active compound
A at a concentration of a [0075] y efficacy, expressed in % of the
untreated control, when using active compound B at a concentration
of b.
Use Example 1
Activity Against Mildew of Wheat
[0076] Leaves of potted wheat seedlings cv. "Kanzler" were sprayed
to runoff point with an aqueous preparation of active compound
which was prepared from a stock solution comprising 10% of active
compound, 63% of cyclohexanone and 27% of emulsifier and, 24 h
after the spray coating had dried on, dusted with spores of mildew
of wheat (Erysiphe graminis forma specialis tritici). The test
plants were subsequently placed in climatized chambers at
20-24.degree. C. and 60-90% relative atmospheric humidity for 7
days. The extent of the development of the infection on the leaves
was then determined visually.
[0077] The visually determined values for the percentage of
infected leaf areas were converted into efficacies as % of the
untreated control. An efficacy of 0 means the same degree of
infection as in the untreated control, an efficacy of 100 means 0%
infection. The expected efficacies for active compound combinations
were determined using Colby's formula (Colby, S. R. "Calculating
synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations",
Weeds, 15 (1967), 20-22) and compared with the observed
efficacies.
[0078] The components II used were the compounds II.79 and II.138
