ABSTRACT:

The present invention relates to compositions for controlling harmful fungi and to methods of controlling harmful fungi using such compositions.
The literature discloses that active ingredients which inhibit the cytochrome bc
1
conplex (cytochrome complex III) can be employed as fungicides [cf. U. Brandt, U. Haase, H. Schägger, G. von Jagow: “Spezifität und Wirkmechanismus der Strobilurine” (specificity and Mechanism of Action of the Strobilurins), Dechema Monograph Vol. 129, 27-38, V C H Verlagsgesellschaft Weinheim, 1993; J. M. Clough: Natural Product Reports, 1993, 565-574; F. Röhl, H. Sauter: Biochem. Soc. Trans. 22, 635 (1993)].
However, when using these active ingredients as fungicides, it has emerged that their activity is only transient, i.e. that renewed growth of the fungi was observed after a short time.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an improved possibility of controlling harmful fungi, in particular botrytis.
Surprisingly, we have found that this object is achieved by a composition which comprises an active ingredient which inhibits respiration on the cytochrome complex III in combination with fenazaquin, which is known as being acaricidally active (cf. The Pesticide Manual, 10th Edition, 1994; CAS reg. No. 120928-09-8).
The present invention therefore relates to compositions for controlling harmful fungi which comprise, in a solid or liquid carrier,
a) at least one active ingredient I, which inhibits respiration on the cytochrome complex III, and
b) fenazaquin, of the formula
The active ingredient I is preferably a compound of the formula. IA or IB:
