Description

  The present invention relates to a fungicide composition for agricultural and horticultural use having a plant disease control effect, particularly an effect of preventing and / or treating a plant disease, and a plant disease control method using the composition.

  Patent Document 1 describes that an imidazole compound represented by the following formula (I), which is an active ingredient of the agricultural and horticultural fungicide composition of the present invention, is useful as a pest control agent. There is a description that it can be used in combination with other fungicides. Patent Document 2 describes that the effect is improved when an imidazole compound different from the compound represented by the following formula (I) and flutolanil are mixed and used together. However, it is not known that when the compound represented by the formula (I) is combined with a synergistically effective amount of flutolanil, it has a remarkably excellent bactericidal effect.
