Provided is a volatile composition having a small difference in volatilization amounts of a volatile substance within a wide temperature range from the normal temperature and enabling the control of the volatilization amount even at a high temperature by suppressing the volatilization amount of the volatile substance and by increasing the gel strength of the volatile composition. Specifically provided is a volatile composition having an alkyl cellulose having such a viscosity that a viscosity at 20° C. of a 1% by weight aqueous solution of the alkyl cellulose is 4,000 to 11,000 mPa.Math.s as determined by a Brookfield viscometer and having such a storage elastic modulus that a storage elastic modulus G′(65° C.) at 65° C. of a 1.5% by weight aqueous solution of the alkyl cellulose is 3,000 to 4,500 Pa; a volatile substance; and a solvent.

A composition of active ingredients for fighting plant diseases, composed of at least two different active ingredients, selected from the group of stilbenes and/or derivatives thereof on the one hand and of the group of galloylated flavan-3-ols and/or derivatives thereof, and/or of the group of proanthocyanidins and/or derivatives thereof on the other hand. As an alternative, the at least two different active ingredients can be selected from the group of galloylated flavan-3-ols and/or derivatives thereof and/or from the group of proanthocyanidins and/or derivatives thereof. The novel mixtures have a higher effect than the individual components, there is a synergistic effect. The invention further relates to a method for fighting fungal plant diseases using the aforementioned active ingredients.
