FUNGICIDAL COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING QUATERNARY AMMONIUM COMPOUNDS OF LONG CARBON CHAIN

摘要

The use of certain well known very long chain quaternary n-Alkyltrimethyl ammonium salts (ATAX), alkylbenzyl-dimethyl ammonium salts (AKX) and dialkyldimethyl ammonium salts (DADAX) of general formulae (I ATAX, II AKX, and III DADAX), respectively, wherein R is straight chained or branched alkyl or alkylene with more than 17 carbon atoms, R' is straight or branched alkyl or alkylene with more than 11 carbon atoms, and X is a halogen, acetate, sulfate, or phosphate anion, of low phytotoxicity in plant protection for controlling and combating fungi, fungicidal compositions comprising such compounds either alone or in combination with other fungicidally active agents, and methods for controlling or combating fungi in plants by applying said compositions to the plants, and the use of such compounds as additives to fungicidal compositions are described.
