The present invention relates to, inter alia, methods for the treatment of wallboards with fungicides and the treated wallboards. In particular, the invention relates to the treatment of wallboards with a fungicidally effective amount of difenoconazole. The invention also provides for the treatment of wallboards with synergistic combinations of difenoconazole and other fungicides. The invention also provides the treatment of building materials with difenoconazole and synergistic mixtures containing difenoconazole.

Antifungal wallboards and building materials and methods for the production thereof

The present invention relates to, inter alia, methods for the treatment of wallboards and the treated wallboards. In particular, the invention relates to the treatment of wallboards with a fungicidally effective amount of a strobilurin or strobilurin-type fungicide. In a particular embodiment the fungicide is azoxystrobin. The invention also provides for the treatment of wallboards and building materials with combinations of fungicides present in synergistic amounts.

The present invention relates to a microbicide composition for plants, containing at least two active ingredient components in an amount producing synergistic activity, together with an appropriate filler, wherein component I is the compound 

Plant protection agents

The present invention relates to a microbicide composition for plants, containing at least two active ingredient components in an amount producing synergistic activity, together with an appropriate filler, wherein component I is the compound 2-[&#x3b1;-{[(&#x3b1;-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)imino]-oxy}-o-tolyl]-glyoxylic acid-methylester-O-methyloxime, and component II is a compound selected from the group consisting of

The present invention provides a microbicide composition for plants, containing at least two active ingredient components in an amount producing synergistic activity, together with an appropriate filler, wherein component I is the compound 2-[.alpha.-{[(.alpha.-methyl-3-trifluoromethyl-benzyl)imino]-oxy}-o-tolyl]-yoxylic acid-methylester-O-methyloxime, and component II is a compound selected from the group consisting of benzo(1,2,3)thiadiazole-7-carbothio-acid-S-methylester ('Acibenzolar-S-methyl'); 3-anilino-5-methyl-5-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1,3-oxazolidine-2,4-dione ('Famoxadone'); 4-(2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl)pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (&#x201c;Fludioxonil&#x201d;); 4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (&#x201c;Fenpiclonil&#x201d;); 1 -methyl-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid-(2,3-dichloro-4-hydroxy-phenyl)-amide (&#x201c;Fenhexamid&#x201d;); 2-{2-[6-(2-cyano-phenoxy)-pyrimidin-4-yloxy]-phenyl}-3-methoxy-acrylic acid methyl ester (&#x201c;Azoxystrobin&#x201d;); Methoximino-(2-o-tolyloxymethyl-phenyl)-acetic acid methyl ester (&#x201c;Kresoxim-methyl&#x201d;); or respectively one of the salts or metal complexes of components I and II. The composition of the present invention finds use as a plant protection agent.

Novel fungicidal compositions for the treatment of phytopathogenic diseases of crop plants and against infestation on propagation stock of plants or on other vegetable material, especially phytopathogenic fungi, and to a method of combating phytopathogenic diseases on crop plants or in post-harvest storage and for seed dressing. The invention relates in particular to the control or prevention of diseases in the post-harvest storage period of harvested fruits. It has now been found that the use of a) 4-(2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxol-7-yl)pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (&ldquo;fludioxonil&rdquo;) (The Pesticide Manual, 11th. edition, 1997, 334), component I in association with b) either 2-(thiazol-4-yl)benzimidazol, component IIA (&ldquo;thiabendazole&rdquo;) (The Pesticide Manual, 11th. edition, 1997, 701); or 1-(&bgr;-allyloxy-2,4-dichlorophenylethyl)imidazole, component IIB (&ldquo;imizalil&rdquo;) (The Pesticide Manual, 11th. edition, 1997, 410) is particularly effective in combating or preventing fungal diseases of crop plants. These combinations exhibit synergistic fungicidal activity.
