Abstract

The invention relates to the use of C 16 -C 18 -carboxylic acid dibutylamides in agrochemical formulations, agrochemical formulations which comprise such compounds and the use as tank mix additives.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An agrochemical combination comprising a carboxamide of formula (I)
R 1 —CO—NR 2 R 3   (I)

in which
R 1 is C 16 -C 18 -alkyl or C 16 -C 18 -alkenyl and
R 2 is C 4 -alkyl and
R 3 is C 4 -alkyl
and prothioconazole,
wherein the carboxamide is capable of promoting penetration of the prothioconazole into a plant.

2. A combination
as claimed in claim 1 , in which a carboxamide of formula (I) is added to the prothioconazole as a tankmix additive.

3. An agrochemical formulation in the form of an emulsion concentrate or dispersion in oil, comprising:
prothioconazole and
at least one carboxamide of formula (I)
R 1 —CO—NR 2 R 3   (I)

in which
R 1 is C 16 -C 18 -alkyl or C 16 -C 18 -alkenyl and
R 2 is C 4 -alkyl and
R 3 is C 4 -alkyl, and

at least one solvent and/or oil.

4. The agrochemical formulation as claimed in claim 3 , in which the content of the at least one carboxamide of formula (I) in the agrochemical formulation is
from 1 to 50% by weight.

5. An agrochemical formulation comprising
15-35% by weight of prothioconazole,
25-45% by weight of N,N-dimethyldecanamide,
10-40% by weight of one or more emulsifiers,
0.01-1.0% by weight of defoamer, and
5-30% by weight of N,N-dibutyl-C16-C18-alkylcarboxamide and N,N-dibutyl-C16-C18-alkenylcarboxamide.

6. A method of promoting the penetration of prothioconazole into a plant comprising treating the plant with prothioconazole and a carboxamide of formula (I)
R1-CO—NR2R3  (I)

in which
R1 is C16-C18-alkyl or C16-C18-alkenyl,
R2 is C4-alkyl, and
R3 is C4-alkyl.

7. A combination as claimed in claim 1 , wherein R2 and R3 are n-butyl.

8. A formulation as claimed in claim 3 , wherein R2 and R3 are n-butyl.

9. A formulation as claimed in claim 4 , wherein R2 and R3 are n-butyl.

10. A method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein R2 and R3 are n-butyl.

11. A combination as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a mixture of said carboxamides.

12. A formulation as claimed in claim 3 , comprising a mixture of said carboxamides.

13. A formulation as claimed in claim 5 , comprising a mixture of said carboxamides.

14. A method as claimed in claim 6 , comprising applying a mixture of said carboxamides.

15. A combination as claimed in claim 1 , comprising at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkyl and at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkenyl.

16. A formulation as claimed in claim 3 , comprising at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkyl and at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkenyl.

17. A formulation as claimed in claim 5 , comprising at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkyl and at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkenyl.

18. A method as claimed in claim 6 , comprising at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkyl and at least one carboxamide in which R1 is C16-C18-alkenyl.
