A fungicidal composition for application to plants comprising a fungistat, or compound that acts as a fungicide, in a mixture with another substance that produces a positive chemotactic response from myco-pathogens. Compounds which produce a positive chemotaxis response from a fungi are for example organic acids such as citric or malic acids, amino acids such as glutamic or aspartic acids, fatty acids such as oleic or palmitic acids, or aldehyde derivatives of these acids or saccharides and polysaccharides such as sucrose, galactose or maltose, or pectic or glycoside derivatives of the sugars. The preferred fungicide is a copper based fungicide, preferably a salt of a copper (II) complex, most preferably the cupric tetra ammine, Cu(NH3)4<2+> complex. A method of combatting fungal infections in plants is also described. |
