Control of fungal disease in cultivated plants

摘要

The present invention provides an effective method for controlling foliage and root fungus infection in cultivated crops. A fungicide composition in the form of an aqueous formulation which is applied to pre- harvest crops contains ingredients such as pentachloronitrobenzene, sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, potassium oleate, potassium octanoate and xanthan gum. The combination of potassium oleate, potassium octanoate and xanthan gum functions as an effective spreader-sticker medium for forming an adherent coating on plant foliage surfaces, and for saturating ground soil. The coating exhibits both immediate and long duration fungicidal activities.
