Abstract:
A fungicide which contains (a) a benzoylpyridine derivative represented by the formula (I) or its salt as an active ingredient: wherein X is a halogen atom, a nitro group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted aryloxy group, an optionally substituted cycloalkoxy group, a hydroxyl group, an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, an optionally substituted alkylthio group, a cyano group, a carboxyl group which may be esterified or amidated, or an optionally substituted amino group; n is 1, 2, 3 or 4; R1 is an optionally substituted alkyl group; R2 is an optionally substituted alkyl group, an optionally substituted alkoxy group, an optionally substituted aryloxy group, a an optionally substituted cycloalkoxy group or a hydroxyl group; and m is 1, 2, 3 or 4, provided that when m is at least 2, R2 may contain an oxygen atom to form a condensed ring (with the proviso that compounds where the pyridine ring is substituted by a benzoyl group at the 2-position; the pyridine ring is substituted by an alkoxy group, a hydroxyl group or a benzyloxy group at the 3-position; and n is 1, m is 1 or 2, are excluded), and wherein when the derivative is a 3-benzoylpyridine compound, at least one R2 is substituted at the 5â€² position, and(b) at least one agricultural adjuvant, or (c) at least one agricultural chemical, or (b) and (c).
