Abstract

PURPOSE:To surely prevent freezing and frost injuries of field crops even in a low concentration with high safety, by spraying a quaternary ammonium salt having an alkyl and phenyl groups as substituent groups on the field crops, such as green tea leaves. CONSTITUTION:A quaternary ammonium salt (e.g., phenylundecyldimethyl ammonium chloride or phenyldodecylmethylammonium chloride) having a >=8 deg.C alkyl group as at least one of substituent groups and other phenyl groups in which at least one may be substituted is used alone or two or more thereof are used together, sprayed and applied in preferably about 50-1000ppm concentration on field crops, such as green tea, fruit trees or vegetables, to prevent freezing and frost injuries thereof. In preparing the spray chemical, better results are obtained by using a viscosity increasing agent, surfactant, etc., in combination in addition to the quaternary ammonium salt.

It is known that certain microorganisms called ice-nucleating bacteria, such as Nthomonas campestris, are involved. That is, these ice-nucleating-active bacteria freeze the water vapor in the air that forms ice crystal nuclei in the water droplets that are formed when they condense on the leaves and buds of agricultural crops as the temperature decreases. Thereafter, freezing propagates inside the plant, and extracellular freezing and then intracellular freezing progress, leading to tissue death.

However, all of these methods have problems in terms of effectiveness, cost of materials and equipment, or labor, and even anti-frost fans, which are currently the most popular in tea gardens, do not work, especially when temperatures drop significantly. However, there were drawbacks such as the fact that it could actually aggravate the damage. In addition, various methods for preventing frost damage using chemicals have been attempted, one of which has been proposed using hydroxamic acid derivatives (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 52-98158).

As a method of preventing frost damage by biological means, a technique was proposed to lyse ice-nucleating bacteria such as Erwinia herbicola by using species-specific batatteriophages to lyse them. ; is shown. Recently, we have applied biotechnology techniques to ice-nucleating bacteria to create microorganisms that do not have ice-nucleating activity.
Research is being conducted on spraying this on crops to prevent frost damage, and it is reported that the FDA has given approval for field trials in the United States (April 15, 1986).
Nihon Keizai Shimbun). However, there are concerns that such biological methods for preventing frost damage may disturb the ecosystem, so further research is considered necessary before they can be put into practical use.

The degree of supercooling was expressed as the difference between the melting point and freezing start temperature of the test substance dispersion. In other words, a large degree of supercooling indicates that the water has been supercooled to a low temperature, which means that the ice nucleation activity of bacteria has been more effectively inactivated, reducing frost damage. suggests.

As shown in Table 1, the effect of increasing the degree of supercooling was observed in quaternary ammonium salts having an alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms as a substituent, and at least one of the others being a phenyl group. This indicates that the above compound has the property of inhibiting the expression of ice nucleating activity of ice nucleating bacteria, and the expression of its effect is due to the presence of a hydrophobic group and cation in the molecule. It was suggested that this is necessary.

From this, in order to prevent frost damage by spraying on tea confections,
It is required to have the property of exhibiting a degree of supercooling of 3°C or more at a concentration that does not cause phytotoxicity to agricultural crops. From the above test examples, all of the quaternary ammonium salts according to the present invention in which at least one of the substituents is an alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms, and at least one of the substituents is an optionally substituted phenyl group, It was suggested that these substances are effective in preventing frost damage to agricultural crops caused by ice-nucleating bacteria by developing a large degree of supercooling that satisfies the conditions.
