Fungicidal compositions

Abstract

The invention provides a fungicidal composition comprising at least one systemic, contact and/or soil fungicide and at least one acrylic acid morpholide derivative of the general formula <IMAGE> (I) in which R1 represents a hydrogen, chlorine or bromine atom, a trifluoromethyl, trifluoromethoxy, C3-C7 alkyl, C3-C5 alkoxy, C3-C6 alkenyl, HClFC-CF2O-, HClC=CClO-, cyclohexyl, cyclopentenyl, cyclohexenyl, phenyl, 4-chlorophenyl, 4-ethylphenyl, 4-chlorobenzyl or 4-chlorophenylthio group or a phenoxy group optionally substituted by one or more substituents selected from fluorine and chlorine atoms and methyl and ethoxycarbonyl groups and R2 represents a hydrogen atom, or R1 represents a hydrogen atom and R2 represents a 3-phenoxy group.

We claim: 
     
       1. A fungicidal composition comprising a contact fungicide comprising a manganese ethylenebis(dithiocarbamate) complex with zinc salt and at least one acrylic acid morpholide derivative of the formula ##STR3## in which R 1  represents a chlorine atom or a phenyl group, the weight ratio of acrylic acid morpholide derivative to said contact fungicide within said composition being in the range of from 1:32 to 1:4, based on parts by weight of active ingredient. 
     
     
       2. The composition of claim 1 further comprising a carrier. 
     
     
       3. The composition of claim 2 further comprising at least two carriers, at least one of which is a surface-active agent. 
     
     
       4. The composition of claim 1 wherein R 1  comprises chlorine. 
     
     
       5. The composition of claim 1 wherein R 1  comprises phenyl. 
     
     
       6. A method of combating fungus at a locus which comprises treating the locus with a fungicidally effective amount of the composition according to claim 1. 
     
     
       7. A method of combating fungus at a locus which comprises treating the locus with a fungicidally effective amount of the composition according to claim 4. 
     
     
       8. A method of combating fungus at a locus which comprises treating the locus with a fungicidally effective amount of the composition according to claim 5. 
     
     
       9. The method of claim 6, wherein said locus comprises plants subject to or subjected to fungal attack, seeds of such plants or the medium in which the plants are growing or are to be grown.
