CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a divisional application of U.S. application Ser. No. 11/916,436, filed Dec. 3, 2007, which is a National Stage filing of PCT/EP2006/005070, filed May 26, 2006, which claims priority from German Application Number 10 2005 025 989.8 filed Jun. 7, 2005 the contents of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of Invention

The present invention relates to known carboxamides and to their use for controlling unwanted microorganisms.

2. Description of Related Art

It is already known that numerous carboxamides have fungicidal properties (cf., for example, WO 04/103975, WO 04/103953, WO 03/070705, WO 03/010149, WO 02/059086, EP-A 0 824 099, EP-A 0 737 682, EP-A 0 591 699, EP-A 0 589 301, EP-A 0 545 099, DE-A 24 09 011, DE-A 20 06 472, JP-A 2001-302605, JP-A 10-251240, JP-A 8-176112, JP-A 8-92223 and JP-A 53-72823). Thus, for example, numerous carboxamides and their use against Puccinia species, such as, for example, Puccinia recondita, or Uromyces species, such as, for example, Uromyces appendiculatus, are known. The activity of these compounds is good; however, in some cases, for example at low application rates, it is unsatisfactory. It has now been found that these carboxamides are also effective against other rust species, such as, for example, soya bean rust, which has only recently been encountered, Phakopsora species, such as, for example, Phakopsora sojae, Phakopsora pachyrhizi, Phakopsora vignae, Uredo sojae, Uromyces sojae, but also against other rust species, such as, for example, coffee rust, Helileia vastarix.

Emphasis is given to compounds of the formula (I) in which R1 represents hydrogen. Emphasis is given to compounds of the formula (I) in which R1 represents formyl. Emphasis is furthermore given to compounds of the formula (I) in which R1 represents —C(═O)C(═O)R2, where R2 is as defined above.

The definition C1-C20-alkyl comprises the largest range defined here for an alkyl radical. Specifically, this definition comprises the meanings methyl, ethyl, n-, isopropyl, n-, iso-, sec-, tert-butyl, and in each case all isomeric pentyls, hexyls, heptyls, octyls, nonyls, decyls, undecyls, dodecyls, tridecyls, tetradecyls, pentadecyls, hexadecyls, heptadecyls, octadecyls, nonadecyls and eicosyls. Among these, preference is given to the meanings methyl, ethyl, n-, isopropyl, n-, iso-, sec-, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, 1-methylbutyl, 2-methylbutyl, 3-methylbutyl, 1,2-dimethylpropyl, 2,2-dimethylpropyl, n-hexyl, 1-methylpentyl, 4-methylpentyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, 3,3-dimethylbutyl, 1,2,2-trimethylpropyl, n-heptyl, 1-methylhexyl, 5-methylhexyl, 1,4-dimethylpentyl, 4,4-dimethylpentyl, 1,3,3-trimethylbutyl, 1,2,3-trimethylbutyl.

Saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals, such as alkyl or alkenyl, can in each case be straight-chain or branched as far as this is possible, including in combination with heteroatoms, such as, for example, in alkoxy. Doubly attached hydrocarbon radicals, such as alkylene (alkanediyl), can also in each case be straight-chain or branched as far as this is possible.

Optionally substituted radicals can be mono- or polysubstituted, where in the case of polysubstitutions the substituents can be identical or different. Thus, the definition dialkylamino also includes an amino group which is substituted asymmetrically by alkyl, such as, for example, methylethylamino.

Halogen-substituted radicals, such as, for example, haloalkyl, are mono- or polyhalogenated. In the case of polyhalogenation, the halogen atoms can be identical or different. Here, halogen represents fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, in particular fluorine, chlorine and bromine

The general or preferred radical definitions or illustrations given above can be combined between the respective ranges and preferred ranges as desired. The definitions apply both to the end products and, correspondingly, to precursors and intermediates.

The compounds according to the invention have strong microbicidal action and can be used for controlling certain rust fungi, such as soya bean rust and coffee rust, in crop protection.

The following diseases of soya plants can preferably be controlled:

alternaria leaf spot (Alternaria spec. atrans tenuissima), anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporoides dematium var. truncatum), brown spot (Septoria glycines), cercospora leaf spot and blight (Cercospora kikuchii), choanephora leaf blight (Choanephora infundibulifera trispora (syn.)), dactuliophora leaf spot (Dactuliophora glycines), downy mildew (Peronospora manshurica), drechslera blight (Drechslera glycini), frogeye leaf spot (Cercospora sojina), leptosphaerulina leaf spot (Leptosphaerulina trifolii), phyllostica leaf spot (Phyllosticta sojaecola), powdery mildew (Microsphaera diffusa), pyrenochaeta leaf spot (Pyrenochaeta glycines), rhizoctonia aerial, foliage, and web blight (Rhizoctonia solani), rust (Phakopsora pachyrhizi), scab (Sphaceloma glycines), stemphylium leaf blight (Stemphylium botryosum), target spot (Corynespora cassiicola), black root rot (Calonectria crotalariae), charcoal rot (Macrophomina phaseolina), fusarium blight or wilt, root rot, and pod and collar rot (Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium orthoceras, Fusarium semitectum, Fusarium equiseti), mycoleptodiscus root rot (Mycoleptodiscus terrestris), neocosmospora (Neocosmopspora vasinfecta), pod and stem blight (Diaporthe phaseolorum), stem canker (Diaporthe phaseolorum var. caulivora), phytophthora rot (Phytophthora megasperma), brown stem rot (Phialophora gregata), pythium rot (Pythium aphanidermatum, Pythium irregulare, Pythium debaryanum, Pythium myriotylum, Pythium ultimum), rhizoctonia root rot, stem decay, and damping-off (Rhizoctonia solani), sclerotinia stem decay (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum), sclerotinia southern blight (Sclerotinia rolfsii), thielaviopsis root rot (Thielaviopsis basicola). Particular preference is given to using the carboxamides of the formula (I) for controlling Phakopsora pachyrhizi.

In the present case, unwanted microorganisms are to be understood as meaning the organisms mentioned above. The compounds according to the invention can therefore be employed for protecting plants against attack by the abovementioned pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time within which protection is effected generally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably from 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active compounds.

The fact that the active compounds, in the concentrations required for controlling plant diseases, are well tolerated by plants permits the treatment of above-ground parts of plants, of vegetative propagation material and seed, and of the soil.

In this context, the carboxamides of the formula (I) can be used with particularly good results for controlling soya bean diseases, such as, for example, against Phakopsora species.

The carboxamides of the formula (I) are also suitable for increasing the yield. Moreover, they display a low degree of toxicity and are tolerated well by plants.

All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are understood as meaning, in the present context, all plants and plant populations, such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants may be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or else by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or by combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties capable or not capable of being protected by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and subterranean parts and organs of the plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruiting bodies, fruits and seeds, and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, slips and seeds.

The treatment according to the invention with the active compounds, of the plants and plant parts, is carried out directly or by acting on their environment, habitat, or store by the customary treatment methods, for example by immersion, spraying, vaporizing, fogging, broadcasting, painting on and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, furthermore by coating with one or more coats.

Depending on their respective physical and/or chemical properties, the active compounds can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, very fine capsules in polymeric substances and in coating compositions for seed, and also ULV cold- and warm-fogging formulations.

These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents, pressurized liquefied gases and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is emulsifiers and/or dispersants and/or foam formers. If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ for example organic solvents as cosolvents. Suitable liquid solvents are essentially: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, and also water. Liquefied gaseous extenders or carriers are those liquids which are gaseous at ambient temperature and at atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants such as halogenated hydrocarbons and also butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. As solid carriers there are suitable: for example ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates. As solid carriers for granules there are suitable: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, pumice, marble, sepiolite and dolomite, and also synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. As emulsifiers and/or foam formers there are suitable: for example non-ionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates and protein hydrolysates. As dispersants there are suitable: for example lignosulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations in general contain between 0.1 and 95 percent by weight of active compound, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

The carboxamides of the formula (I), as such or in their formulations, can also be used as a mixture with known fungicides, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, or insecticides, for example, to broaden the activity spectrum or prevent the development of resistance. In many instances, synergistic effects are obtained, i.e. the activity of the mixture exceeds the activity of the individual components.

WO 96/37494, WO 98/25923), and preparations which contain insecticidally active plant extracts, nematodes, fungi or viruses.

The active compounds can be employed as such, in the form of their formulations or the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, wettable powders, pastes, soluble powders, dusts and granules. They are applied in the customary manner, for example by pouring, spraying, atomizing, broadcasting, dusting, foaming, painting on and the like. It is furthermore possible to apply the active compounds by the ultra-low-volume method, or to inject the active compound preparation or the active compound itself into the soil. The seed of the plants can also be treated.

When employing the carboxamides of the formula (I) as fungicides, the application rates can be varied within a substantial range, depending on the type of application. In the treatment of plant parts, the application rates of active compound are generally between 0.1 and 10 000 g/ha, preferably between 10 and 1000 g/ha. For the treatment of seed, the application rates of active compound are generally between 0.001 and 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably between 0.01 and 10 g per kilogram of seed. For treating the soil, the application rates of active compound are generally between 0.1 and 10 000 g/ha, preferably between 1 and 5000 g/ha.

As already mentioned above, all plants and their parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. In a preferred embodiment, plant species and plant varieties which are found in the wild or are obtained by traditional biological breeding methods, such as hybridization or protoplast fusion, and parts of the former are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant varieties which have been obtained by recombinant methods, if appropriate in combination with traditional methods (genetically modified organisms), and their parts are treated. The term “parts” or “parts of plants” or “plant parts” has been illustrated above.

Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars are understood as meaning plants with new properties (“traits”) which have been obtained by conventional cultivation, by mutagenesis or else by recombinant DNA techniques. These may be cultivars, breeds, biotypes or genotypes.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, nutrition), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive (“synergistic”) effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or extensions of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions that can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salinity, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected are possible.

The preferred transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetic engineering) which are to be treated according to the invention include all plants which, as a result of the recombinant modification, received genetic material which imparts particularly advantageous useful properties (“traits”) to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salinity, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, tobacco, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, tobacco and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized in particular are increased defence of the plants against insects, arachnids, nematodes, slugs and snails as the result of toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as “Bt plants”). Traits which are also particularly emphasized are the increased defence of plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinothricin (for example the “PAT” gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of “Bt plants” which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucoton® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosates, for example maize, cotton, soya beans), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinothricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylureas, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned also include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize) Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which cultivars will be developed and/or marketed in the future.

The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner with the compounds of the general formula (I) or the active compound mixtures according to the invention. The preferred ranges stated above for the active compounds or mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the compounds or mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.

USE EXAMPLES Example A Soya Bean Rust Control Test/Spray Application

Preparation of the Test Substances:

5 parts by weight of carboxamide of the formula (I), 142.4 parts by weight of acetone and 7.5 parts by weight of emulsifier (polyoxyethylene alkylphenyl ether) are mixed and adjusted with water to the desired concentration.

Test Method:

Soya beans (cultivar: Enrei) were cultivated in plastic containers having a diameter of 7.5 cm. In each case 3 containers, 6 ml of the test substance (preparation as described above) were sprayed onto the seedlings which had reached the 2.3 leaf stage. One day after spraying, the leaves were inoculated with an urediniospore suspension (1×105 urediniospores/ml) of Phakopsora pachyrhizi. 14 days after the inoculation, the degree of infection for each container was evaluated and the efficacy was calculated. The phytotoxicity was also monitored.
