USE OF ISOTHIAZOLECARBOXAMIDES TO CREATE LATENT HOST DEFENSES IN A PLANT

摘要

The present invention relates to the novel use of Isotianil or Tiadinil for inducing latent host defenses in a plant. In particular, the present invention relates the use of Isotianil or Tiadinil for inducing latent host defenses that are activated in the event of an attack by a phytopathogenic pathogen or pest or of abiotic stress. The invention further relates to the induction of latent host defenses in a plant which comprises the priming of the intrinsic disease resistance mechanisms of a plant.
