Abstract:
1. A method for improving the health of a plant comprising improving plant yield, vigor, quality and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress, wherein the plant, the locus where the plant is growing or is expected to grow or plant propagation material from which the plant grows is treated with a synergistically effective amount of 1) a herbicidal compound (I) selected from the group consisting of chloramben, dicamba, 2,3,6-TBA, 2) a fungicidal compound (II) selected from the group consisting of N-(3′,4′,5′-trifluorobiphenyl-2-yl)-3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (common name: fluxapyroxad), N-[2-(4′-trifluoromethylthio)-biphenyl]-3-difluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide, N-(3′,4′-dichloro-5-fluorobiphenyl-2-yl)-3-difluoromethyl-1-methylpyrazole-4-carboxamide (common name: bixafen), N-[2-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-phenyl]-1,3-dimethyl-5-fluoro-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (common name: penflufen), N-(2-bicyclopropyl-2-yl-phenyl)-3-di fluoromethyl-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (common name: sedaxane), N-[1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-9-(1-methylethyl)-1,4-methanonaphthalen-5-yl]-3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide (common name: isopyrazam), furametpyr, and thifluzamide; wherein said compounds are applied simultaneously, that is jointly or separately, or successively; and wherein the plant is selected from soybean, sunflower, corn, cotton, canola, sugar cane, sugar beet, pome fruit, barley, oats, sorghum, rice and wheat.
