Abstract
Abstract Fungicidal compositions for agricultural and horticultural use which contain as an active ingredient one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of tartaric acid, oxalic acid, fumaric acid, citric acid, alkali metal salts of these organic acids, ferric citrate, ferric lactate, glycerine, aluminum chloride and esters formed between sugar and higher fatty acids having 8 to 18 carbon atoms. These compositions exhibit excellent protective effects against attack by plant disease fungi, bacteria or virus and have no phytotoxicity and no mammalian toxicity and present no risk of causing the pollution of soil, human, cattle and poultry. The protective effects of these active ingredients are greatly enhanced when they are applied to plants in combination with a phosphatide. And a method for protecting plants by the use thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 24
Claim 1
Independent Claim
65 words
A fungicidal composition containing as an active ingredient, sucrose fatty acid ester whose ester group is derived from a fatty acid having 8 to 18 carbon atoms in an amount of about 0.1-90% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, and at least one adjuvant selected from the group consisting of solid carrier, liquid carrier, emulsifying agent, dispersing agent and surface active agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
65 words
A fungicidal composition containing as an active ingredient, sucrose fatty acid ester whose ester group is derived from a fatty acid having 8 to 18 carbon atoms in an amount of about 0.1-90% by weight, based on the weight of the composition, and at least one adjuvant selected from the group consisting of solid carrier, liquid carrier, emulsifying agent, dispersing agent and surface active agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
The fungicidal composition of claim 1 wherein said active ingredient is combined with a phosphatide derived from a natural source, wherein the phosphatide is selected from the group consisting of soy bean lecithin, rapeseed lecithin and egg lecithin.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
105 words
A method for protecting agricultural plants selected from fruit-bearing plants, berry-bearing plants, vegetables and tobacco plants from attack by plant disease causative organisms of rice blast, bacterial leaf blight, citrus canker, citrus melanose, cucumber anthracnose, cucumber phyrophthora rot, cucumber powdery mildew, cucumber downy mildew, tomato leaf mold, tomato leaf blight, tomato leaf spot, tobacco mosaic and cucumber green mottle mosaic, which comprises applying to said agricultural plant from about 10 grams per 10 ares to 2000 grams per 10 ares of an active ingredient selected from sucrose fatty acid ester whose ester groups are derived from a fatty acid having 8 to 18 carbon atom.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
105 words
A method for protecting agricultural plants selected from fruit-bearing plants, berry-bearing plants, vegetables and tobacco plants from attack by plant disease causative organisms of rice blast, bacterial leaf blight, citrus canker, citrus melanose, cucumber anthracnose, cucumber phyrophthora rot, cucumber powdery mildew, cucumber downy mildew, tomato leaf mold, tomato leaf blight, tomato leaf spot, tobacco mosaic and cucumber green mottle mosaic, which comprises applying to said agricultural plant from about 10 grams per 10 ares to 2000 grams per 10 ares of an active ingredient selected from sucrose fatty acid ester whose ester groups are derived from a fatty acid having 8 to 18 carbon atom.
