Abstract:
A composition comprising a synergistic mixture of:(a) a fungicide enhancing effective amount of one or more amine oxides selected from a group consisting of: (i) a trialiphatic substituted amine oxide having the formula R1R2R3Nâ†’O, wherein R1 is a linear or branched C8 to C22 saturated or unsaturated group; and R2 and R3 are independently linear or branched saturated or unsaturated C8-C22 groups; (ii) an N-alkylated cyclic amine oxide having the formula R4R5R6Nâ†’O, wherein R4 is a linear or branched C8-C40 saturated or unsaturated group and R5 and R6 are linked to form a cyclic group; (iii) a dialkylpiperazine di-N-Oxide having the formula â€ƒwherein R8 is a linear or branched C8 to C40 saturated or unsaturated group; and R9 is a C1 group, linear saturated or unsaturated C2-C40 group, or branched saturated or unsaturated C3-C40 group; (iv) an alkyldi(poly(oxyalkylene))amine oxide having the formula â€ƒwherein R10 is a linear or branched C8 to C40 saturated or unsaturated group; R11 and R12 independently are H or CH3; and m and n independently are integers from about 1 to about 10; (v) a dialkylbenzylamine oxide having the formula R13R14R15Nâ†’O, wherein R13 is a linear or branched C8 to C40 saturated or unsaturated group; R14 is a C1 group, linear saturated or unsaturated C2-C40 group, or branched saturated or unsaturated C3-C40 group; and R15 is benzyl; (vi) a fatty amidopropyldimethyl amine oxide having the formula; â€ƒwherein R16 is a linear, branched or cyclic C8 to C40 saturated or unsaturated group; (vii) a diamine oxide having the formula â€ƒwherein R17 is a linear or branched C8 to C40 saturated or unsaturated group; and m is an integer from about 1 to about 10; (viii) a triamine oxide having the formula â€ƒwherein R18 is a linear or branched C8 to C40 saturated or unsaturated group; and m and n independently are integers from about 1 to about 10; and (ix) any combination of the foregoing; and (b) a fungiciadal effective amount of one or more 1,2,4-triazoles or benzimidazoles.
