USE OF THE SUCCINATE DEHYDROGENASE INHIBITOR PYDIFLUMETOFEN FOR CONTROLLING CLAVICEPS PURPUREA AND REDUCING SCLEROTIA IN CERALS

摘要

The invention relates to the use of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor Pydiflumetofen, for controlling Claviceps purpurea in cereal plants, plant parts thereof, plant propagation material or the soil in which cereal plants are grown or intended to be grown, to a method for treating plants or plant parts for controlling Claviceps purpurea and to a method for treating seed for controlling Claviceps purpurea in the seed and in the plants which grow from the seed, by treating the seed with the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor Pydiflumetofen.
