Abstract: The invention relates to the use of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor Pydiflumetofen, for controlling Claviceps purpurea in cereal plants, plant parts thereof, plant propagation material or the soil in which cereal plants are grown or intended to be grown, to a method for treating plants or plant parts for controlling Claviceps purpurea and to a method for treating seed for controlling Claviceps purpurea in the seed and in the plants which grow from the seed, by treating the seed with the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor Pydiflumetofen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to active compound combinations comprising Fluopyram, at least one fungicide (B) selected from the group of inhibitors of the respiratory chain at complex I or II and at least one further fungicide (C) selected from the group of specified inhibitors of the respiratory chain at complex III, to compositions comprising such compound combination, and to the use thereof as biologically active agents, especially for control of harmful microorganisms in crop protection and in the protection of industrial materials.

Abstract: The method and use of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor Fluopyram, for controlling Claviceps purpurea in cereal plants, plant parts thereof, plant propagation material or the soil in which cereal plants are grown or intended to be grown, includes treating plants or plant parts for controlling Claviceps purpurea. The method can also include controlling Claviceps purpurea in the seed and in the plants which grow from the seed, by treating the seed with the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor Fluopyram.

Abstract: The invention relates to a composition, which comprises (A) a compound selected from the group of safeners consisting of mefenpyr, mefenpyr-diethyl, cloquintocet, cloquintocet-mexyl and (B) at least one fungicidally active compound selected from the group consisting of prothioconazole, tebuconazole, difenoconazole, fludioxonil and (C) a compound selected from the group of fungicides consisting of metalaxyl or mefenoxam. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for curatively or preventively controlling the phytopathogenic microorganisms of plants or crops, to a method for improving yield of plants by using of a composition according to the invention, for the treatment of seed, to a method for protecting a seed and to the treated seed.
