Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of succinate dehydrogenase Inhibitors for extending shelf life and storage stability of fruits and vegetables, to a method for extending shelf life of fruits and vegetables by applying a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor to the crops prior to the harvest of the fruits or vegetables and to a fruit or vegetable treated with a succinate dehydrogenase Inhibitor.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with the control of harmful organisms that can occur when growing crop plants. The present invention provides a method, a computer system and a computer program product that make data obtained in field trials amenable to the calibration and optimization of forecasting models for the attack on plants by harmful organisms and hence allow the development of improved models.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of succinate dehydrogenase Inhibitors for extending shelf life and storage stability of fruits and vegetables, to a method for extending shelf life of fruits and vegetables by applying a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor to the crops prior to the harvest of the fruits or vegetables and to a fruit or vegetable treated with a succinate dehydrogenase Inhibitor.

Abstract: Compositions are provided that improve overall plant vigor and yield by combining agriculturally effective amounts of at least one environmentally friendly biological control agent and at least one chemical fungicide. A composition of the present invention is particularly effective in the presence of fungal species. Use of a composition of the present invention leads to an overall reduction in crop losses caused by fungi and this reduction is much greater than would have been expected from application of either component alone. Methods for utilizing compositions of the present invention are also provided. Further the compositions according to this invention display synergistic insecticidal and/or fungicidal activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of N-phenylethylpyrazole carboxamide derivatives or salts thereof for extended shelf life and storage stability of fruits and vegetables, to a method for extending shelf life or fruits and vegetables by applying N-phenylethylpyrazole carboxamide derivatives or salts thereof to the crops prior to the harvest of the fruits or vegetables.

Abstract: The invention relates to active compound combinations, in particular a fungicidal and/or insecticidal composition, comprising Isotianil (3,4-dichloro-N-(2-cyanophenyl)-5-isothiazolecarboxamide) and at least one further insecticide of the tetronic acid derivatives group and optionally one further insecticide of the neonicotinoids. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for curatively or preventively controlling the phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or pests of plants or crops, to the use of a combination according to the invention for the treatment of seed, to a method for protecting a seed and not at least to the treated seed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the protection of harvested fruit, cutflowers or vegetables against decay caused by certain storage diseases or disorders expressed in storage conditions. In particular the invention relates to the application of certain fungicidal active compounds to protect harvested fruit, cutflowers or vegetables against phytopathogenic fungi.

Abstract: Compositions are provided that improve overall plant vigor and yield by combining agriculturally effective amounts of at least one environmentally friendly biological control agent and at least one chemical insect control agent.
