FUNGICIDAL COMPOSITION CONTAINING ACID AMIDE DERIVATIVE
Abstract
Conventional many fungicidal compositions have had practical
problems such that either a preventive effect or a curing effect is
inadequate, the residual effect tends to be inadequate, or the
controlling effect against plant diseases tends to be inadequate
depending upon the application site, and a fungicidal composition
to overcome such problems has been desired. The present invention
provides a fungicidal composition containing an acid amide
derivative of the formula (I) or a salt thereof, as an active
ingredient: ##STR00001## wherein A is phenyl which may be
substituted, benzyl which may be substituted, naphthyl which may be
substituted, heterocyclic ring which may be substituted, fused
heterocyclic ring which may be substituted, or the like; B is
heterocyclic ring which may be substituted, fused heterocyclic ring
which may be substituted, or naphthyl which may be substituted;
each of R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 which are independent of each other, is
alkyl, or the like; R.sup.3 is hydrogen, or the like; each of
W.sup.1 and W.sup.2 which are independent of each other, is oxygen
or sulfur.

Description
[0001] This is a continuation application of U.S. application Ser.
No. 11/659,423, filed Feb. 5, 2007, which is a 371 of
PCT/JP2005/014970 filed on Aug. 10, 2005.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention relates to a fungicidal composition
containing an acid amide derivative.
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] WO2001/60783 and WO2003/27059 disclose that acid amide
derivatives having certain chemical structures are useful as active
ingredients for pesticides, but there is no disclosure that
compounds of the formula (I) given hereinafter, have fungicidal
activities. On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application No.
2003-420864 by the present applicants, discloses a fungicidal
composition containing an acid amide derivative as an active
ingredient, but the active ingredient compound of such a
composition is different from the compound of the formula (I) given
hereinafter.
[0004] Conventional many fungicidal compositions have had practical
problems such that either a preventive effect or a curing effect is
inadequate, the residual effect tends to be inadequate, or the
controlling effect against plant diseases tends to be inadequate
depending upon the application site. Accordingly, a fungicidal
composition to overcome such problems has been desired.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
[0005] The present inventors have conducted a research to solve the
above problems and as a result, have found that a fungicidal
composition containing an acid amide derivative of the formula (I)
given hereinafter exhibits excellent preventive and curing effects

filler, a thickener, an anti-settling agent, an anti-freezing
agent, a dispersion stabilizer, a phytotoxicity reducing agent, and
an anti-mold agent, may also be employed.
[0171] The weight ratio of the acid amide derivative represented by
the formula (I) or a salt thereof to the various agricultural
adjuvants is usually from 0.001:99.999 to 95:5, preferably from
0.005:99.995 to 90:10.
[0172] In the actual application of such a formulation, it may be
used as it is, or may be diluted to a predetermined concentration
with a diluent such as water, and various spreaders e.g.
surfactants, vegetable oils or mineral oils may be added thereto,
as the case requires.
[0173] The application of the composition of the present invention
can not generally be defined, as it varies depending upon the
weather conditions, the type of the formulation, the crop plants to
be treated, the application season, the application site, the types
or germination states of noxious fungi, and the types or degree of
outbreak of the diseases. However, it is usually applied in a
concentration of the active ingredient being from 0.1 to 10,000
ppm, preferably from 1 to 2,000 ppm in the case of foliage
treatment, and its dose may be such that the acid amide derivative
of the formula (I) or a salt thereof is usually from 0.1 to 50,000
g, preferably from 1 to 30,000 g, per hectare. In the case of soil
treatment, it is applied usually in such a dose that the acid amide
derivative of the formula (I) or a salt thereof is from 10 to
100,000 g, preferably from 200 to 20,000 g, per hectare.
[0174] The formulation containing the composition of the present
invention or a diluted product thereof may be applied by an
application method which is commonly used, such as spreading
(spreading, spraying, misting, atomizing, grain diffusing or
application on water surface), soil application (such as mixing or
irrigation) or surface application (such as coating, dust coating
or covering). Further, it may be applied also by so-called ultra
low volume. In this method, the formulation may contain 100% of the
active ingredient.
[0175] The composition of the present invention may be mixed with
or may be used in combination with other agricultural chemicals,
fertilizers or phytotoxicity-reducing agents, whereby synergistic
effects or activities may sometimes be obtained. Such other
agricultural chemicals may, for example, be a herbicide, an
insecticide, a miticide, a nematicide, a soil pesticide, a
fungicide, an antivirus agent, an attractant, an antibiotic, a
plant hormone and a plant growth regulating agent. Especially, with
a mixed fungicidal composition having the acid amide derivative of
the formula (I) or a salt thereof mixed with or used in combination
with one or more of other fungicidally active ingredient compounds,
the application range, the application time, the fungicidal
activities, etc. may be improved to preferred directions. Here, the
acid amide derivative of the formula (I) or a salt thereof, and the
active ingredient compound of another fungicide may separately be
formulated so that they may be mixed for to use at the time of
application, or they may be formulated together for use. The
present invention includes such a mixed fungicidal composition.
[0176] The mixing ratio of the acid amide derivative of the formula
(I) or a salt thereof to another fungicidally active ingredient
compound can not generally be defined, since it varies depending
upon the weather conditions, the types of formulations, the crops
to be treated, the application time, the application site, the
types or germination state of noxious fungi, the types or state of
the diseases, etc., but it is usually within a range of from 1:300
to 300:1, preferably from 1:100 to 100:1, by weight. Further, the
dose for the application may be such that the total amount of the
active compounds is from 0.1 to 70,000 g, preferably from 1 to
30,000 g, per hectare. The present invention includes a method for
controlling noxious fungi by an application of such a mixed
fungicidal composition.
