Description

WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 1 TITLE ANTHRANILAMIDE ARTHROPODICIDE TREATMENT FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to the control of phytophagous invertebrate pests such as 5 arthropod pests by contacting plant propagules or the locus of the propagules with certain anthranilamides and to propagule-coating compositions comprising the anthranilamides. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The control of invertebrate pests such as arthropods is extremely important in achieving high crop efficiency. Damage by invertebrate pests to growing and stored 10 agronomic crops can cause significant reduction in productivity and thereby result in increased costs to the consumer. The control of invertebrate pests in forestry, greenhouse crops, ornamentals and nursery crops is also important. Plants are subject to injury by invertebrate pests at all stages of growth, beginning with seeds or other propagules such as bulbs, tubers, rhizomes, corms, and stem and leaf cuttings 15 and ending with mature plants. Besides the cost of materials, the effort and time required for application of invertebrate pest control substances make repetition of treatments undesirable. Ideally a single treatment of a plant at the propagule stage would protect the plant from invertebrate pests during its entire life. A variety of techniques for treating propagules with plant protection substances are 20 known. These include soaking propagules in arthropodicide-comprising solutions, coating propagules with films, pelleting materials and the like comprising arthropodicidal compositions, and applying arthropodicidal compounds to the growing medium surrounding the propagules. While some compounds can effectively protect propagules from certain phytophagous invertebrate pests, new compounds are needed that are more effective or have 25 a broader spectrum of activity, are less costly, less toxic, environmentally safer or have different modes of action. Particularly needed are invertebrate pest control treatments that can protect the plant not only at its propagule stage but also later in its development. Achieving this objective requires compounds that are active against invertebrate pests and can effectively translocate 30 from the locus of the propagule up through the growing stems, leaves and other aboveground plant parts. Furthermore the compounds need to have high activity against invertebrate pests to compensate for the dilution occasioned by the expanding plant mass. Also, the compounds cannot rapidly degrade and lose their biological potency in the environment of the plant's vascular tissues. The combination of these properties is rare. Treatments of 35 propagules effective for protecting from phytophagous invertebrate pests not only the propagule but also the plant at later growth stages have now been discovered.

The method comprises contacting the propagule or the locus of the propagule with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, an N-oxide thereof or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof. This invention also provides a propagule comprising a biologically effective amount of 30 a compound of Formula I, its N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof. This invention further provides a propagule contacted with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, its N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof. This invention still further provides an invertebrate pest control composition for coating a propagule comprising a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, 35 its N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof and a film former or adhesive agent. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As referred to in the present disclosure and claims, the term "propagule" means a seed or a regenerable plant part. The term "regenerable plant part" means a part of a plant other WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 4 than a seed from which a whole plant may be grown or regenerated when the plant part is placed in horticultural or agricultural growing media such as moistened soil, peat moss, sand, vermiculite, perlite, rock wool, fiberglass, coconut husk fiber, tree fern fiber and the like, or even a completely liquid medium such as water. Regenerable plant parts commonly include 5 rhizomes, tubers, bulbs and corms of such geophytic plant species as potato, sweet potato, yam, onion, dahlia, tulip, narcissus, etc. Regenerable plant parts include plant parts that are divided (e.g., cut) to preserve their ability to grow into a new plant. Therefore regenerable plant parts include viable divisions of rhizomes, tubers, bulbs and corms which retain meristematic tissue, such as an eye. Regenerable plant parts can also include other plant 10 parts such as cut or separated stems and leaves from which some species of plants can be grown using horticultural or agricultural growing media. As referred to in the present disclosure and claims, unless otherwise indicated, the term "seed" includes both unsprouted seeds and sprouted seeds in which the testa (seed coat) still surrounds part of the emerging shoot and root. 15 In the above recitations, the term "alkyl", used either alone or in compound words such as "alkylthio" or "haloalkyl" includes straight-chain or branched alkyl, such as, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, or the different butyl, pentyl or hexyl isomers.

The heterocyclic ring can be attached through any available carbon 35 or nitrogen by replacement of hydrogen on said carbon or nitrogen. The term "aromatic ring system" denotes fully unsaturated carbocycles and heterocycles in which at least one ring of the polycyclic ring system is aromatic (where aromatic indicates that the Hiickel rule is satisfied for the ring system). The term "heteroaromatic ring" denotes fully aromatic rings in WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 5 which at least one ring atom is not carbon and comprises 1 to 4 heteroatoms independently selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur, provided that each heterocyclic ring comprises no more than 4 nitrogens, no more than 2 oxygens and no more than 2 sulfurs (where aromatic indicates that the Hiickel rule is satisfied). The heterocyclic 5 ring can be attached through any available carbon or nitrogen by replacement of hydrogen on said carbon or nitrogen. The term "aromatic heterocyclic ring system" includes fully aromatic heterocycles and heterocycles in which at least one ring of a polycyclic ring system is aromatic (where aromatic indicates that the Hiickel rule is satisfied). The term "fused heterobicyclic ring system" includes a ring system comprised of two fused rings in which at 10 least one ring atom is not carbon and can be aromatic or non aromatic, as defined above. The term "halogen", either alone or in compound words such as "haloalkyl", includes fluorine, chlorine, bromine or iodine.

2 . In the above recitations, when a compound of Formula I comprises a heterocyclic ring, all substituents are attached to this ring through any available carbon or nitrogen by replacement of a hydrogen on said carbon or nitrogen. When a group has a substituent which can be hydrogen, for example R 3 , then, when 30 this substituent is taken as hydrogen, it is recognized that this is equivalent to said group being unsubstituted. Compounds of Formula I can exist as one or more stereoisomers. The various stereoisomers include enantiomers, diastereomers, atropisomers and geometric isomers. One skilled in the art will appreciate that one stereoisomer may be more active and/or may 35 exhibit beneficial effects when enriched relative to the other stereoisomer(s) or when separated from the other stereoisomer(s). Additionally, the skilled artisan knows how to separate, enrich, and/or to selectively prepare said stereoisomers. Accordingly, the WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 6 compounds of the invention may be present as a mixture of stereoisomers, individual stereoisomers, or as an optically active form. The salts of compounds of Formula I include acid-addition salts with inorganic or organic acids such as hydrobromic, hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, sulfuric, acetic, butyric, 5 fumaric, lactic, maleic, malonic, oxalic, propionic, salicylic, tartaric, 4-toluenesulfonic or valeric acids.

As noted above, R 7 is (among others) a phenyl, a benzyl, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring, a naphthyl ring system or an aromatic 8-, 9- or 10-membered fused heterobicyclic ring system, each ring or ring system optionally substituted with one to three substituents independently selected from R 9 . The term "optionally substituted" in WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 7 connection with these R 7 groups refers to groups which are unsubstituted or have at least one non-hydrogen substituent that does not extinguish the invertebrate pest control activity possessed by the unsubstituted analog. Note also that J-1 through J-4 below denote 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic rings. An example of a phenyl ring optionally substituted with 5 1 to 3 R 9 is the ring illustrated as J-5 in Exhibit 1, wherein r is an integer from 0 to 3. An example of a benzyl ring optionally substituted with 1 to 3 R 9 is the ring illustrated as J-6 in Exhibit 1, wherein r is an integer from 0 to 3. An example of a naphthyl ring system optionally substituted with 1 to 3 R 9 is illustrated as J-59 in Exhibit 1, wherein r is an integer from 0 to 3. Examples of a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring optionally substituted 10 with 1 to 3 R 9 include the rings J-7 through J-58 illustrated in Exhibit 1 wherein r is an integer from 0 to 3. Note that J-7 through J-26 are examples of J-1, J-27 through J-41 are examples of J-2, and J-46 through J-58 are examples of J-3 and J-4. The nitrogen atoms that require substitution to fill their valence are substituted with H or R 9 . Note that some J groups can only be substituted with less than 3 R 9 groups (e.g. J-19, J-20, J-23 through J-26 15 and J-37 through J-40 can only be substituted with one R 9 ). Examples of aromatic 8-, 9- or 10-membered fused heterobicyclic ring systems optionally substituted with 1 to 3 R 9 include J-60 through J-90 illustrated in Exhibit 1 wherein r is an integer from 0 to 3. Although R 9 groups are shown in the structures J-5 through J-90, it is noted that they do not need to be present since they are optional substituents. Note that when the attachment point between 20 (R 9 )r and the J group is illustrated as floating, (R 9 )r can be attached to any available carbon atom of the J group. Note that when the attachment point on the J group is illustrated as floating, the J group can be attached to the remainder of Formula I through any available carbon of the J group by replacement of a hydrogen atom.

In certain instances it is useful to use polymer-supported acid scavengers such as polymer-bound N,N-diisopropylethylamine and polymer-bound 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine. 10 The coupling can be run in a suitable inert solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, diethylether or dichloromethane to afford the anilide of Formula Ia. A thioamide of Formula Ib can be obtained in a subsequent step from the corresponding amide of Formula la by treatment with one of a variety of standard thio transfer reagents including phosphorus pentasulfide and Lawesson's reagent (2,4-bis(4 15 methoxyphenyl)- 1,3-dithia-2,4-diphosphetane-2,4-disulfide). As shown in Scheme 2, an alternate procedure for the preparation of compounds of Formula la involves coupling of an amine of Formula 2 with an acid of Formula 4 in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC), 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole, bis(2-oxo-3-oxazolidinyl)phosphinic chloride or benzotriazol-1-yloxy-tris 20 (dimethylamino)phosphonium hexafluorophosphate. Scheme 2 0 Het dehydrative 2 + coupling reagent Ia I Ia OH 4 Polymer-supported reagents are again useful here, such as polymer-bound cyclohexylcarbodiimide. The coupling can be run in a suitable inert solvent such as 25 dichloromethane or N,N-dimethylformamide. The synthetic methods of Schemes 1 and 2 are just representative examples of a wide variety of coupling methods useful for the preparation WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 13 of Formula I compounds; the synthetic literature is extensive for this type of coupling reaction. One skilled in the art will also realize that acid chlorides of Formula 3 may be prepared from acids of Formula 4 by numerous well-known methods. For example, acid chlorides of 5 Formula 3 are readily made from carboxylic acids of Formula 4 by reacting the carboxylic acid 4 with thionyl chloride or oxalyl chloride in an inert solvent such as toluene or dichloromethane in the presence of a catalytic amount of N,N-dimethylformamide. As shown in Scheme 3, amines of Formula 2a are typically available from the corresponding 2-nitrobenzamides of Formula 5 via catalytic hydrogenation of the nitro 10 group. Scheme 3 H I NO2 NH2

Cycloaddition with an acrylate requires additional oxidation of the intermediate pyrazoline to the pyrazole. Hydrolysis of the esters affords the pyrazole acids of Formula 4c. Preferred iminohalides for this reaction include the trifluoromethyl iminochloride of Formula 26 and 15 the iminodibromide of Formula 27. Compounds such as 26 are known (J. Heterocycl. Chem.

WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 20 1985, 22(2), 565-8). Compounds such as 27 are available by known methods (Tetrahedron Letters 1999, 40, 2605). These procedures are particularly useful for the preparation of compounds where R 7 is optionally substituted phenyl and R 6 is haloalkyl or bromo. The starting pyrazoles of Formula 17 are known compounds or can be prepared 5 according to known methods.

The suitable organic solvent can be, for example but not 10 limitation, acetone, acetonitrile, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, dimethylsulfoxide, or N,N-dimethylformamide. The cyclization reaction is usually conducted in a temperature range from about 0 to 120 oC. The effects of solvent, base, temperature and addition time are all interdependent, and choice of reaction conditions is important to minimize the formation of byproducts. A preferred base is tetrabutylammonium fluoride. 15 Dehydration of the compound of Formula 31 to give the compound of Formula 32, followed by converting the carboxylic ester function to carboxylic acid, affords the compound of Formula 4d. The dehydration is effected by treatment with a catalytic amount of a suitable acid. This catalytic acid can be, for example but not limitation, sulfuric acid. The reaction is generally conducted using an organic solvent. As one skilled in the art will 20 realize, dehydration reactions may be conducted in a wide variety of solvents in a temperature range generally between about 0 and 200 C, more preferably between about 0 and 100 C. For the dehydration in the method of Scheme 17, a solvent comprising acetic acid and temperatures of about 65 oC are preferred. Carboxylic ester compounds can be converted to carboxylic acid compounds by numerous methods including nucleophilic WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 22 cleavage under anhydrous conditions or hydrolytic methods involving the use of either acids or bases (see T. W. Greene and P. G. M. Wuts, Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1991, pp. 224-269 for a review of methods). For the method of Scheme 17, base-catalyzed hydrolytic methods are preferred. Suitable bases 5 include alkali metal (such as lithium, sodium or potassium) hydroxides. For example, the ester can be dissolved in a mixture of water and an alcohol such as ethanol. Upon treatment with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, the ester is saponified to provide the sodium or potassium salt of the carboxylic acid. Acidification with a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, yields the carboxylic acid of Formula 4d. The carboxylic 10 acid can be isolated by methods known to those skilled in the art, including crystallization, extraction and distillation.

Oxidization of the compound of Formula 37 optionally in the presence of acid to give the 5 compound of Formula 32 followed by conversion of the carboxylic ester function to the carboxylic acid provides the compound of Formula 4d. The oxidizing agent can be hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides, potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, potassium monopersulfate (e.g., Oxone®) or potassium permanganate. To obtain complete conversion, at least one equivalent of oxidizing agent versus the compound of Formula 37 10 should be used, preferably between about one to two equivalents. This oxidation is typically carried out in the presence of a solvent. The solvent can be an ether, such as tetrahydrofuran, p-dioxane and the like, an organic ester, such as ethyl acetate, dimethyl carbonate and the like, or a polar aprotic organic such as N,N-dimethylformamide, acetonitrile and the like. Acids suitable for use in the oxidation step include inorganic acids, such as sulfuric acid, 15 phosphoric acid and the like, and organic acids, such as acetic acid, benzoic acid and the like. The acid, when used, should be used in greater than 0.1 equivalents versus the compound of Formula 37. To obtain complete conversion, one to five equivalents of acid can be used. The preferred oxidant is potassium persulfate and the oxidation is preferably carried out in the presence of sulfuric acid. The reaction can be carried out by mixing the 20 compound of Formula 37 in the desired solvent and, if used, the acid. The oxidant can then be added at a convenient rate. The reaction temperature is typically varied from as low as about 0 oC up to the boiling point of the solvent in order to obtain a reasonable reaction time to complete the reaction, preferably less than 8 hours. The desired product, a compound of Formula 32 can be isolated by methods known to those skilled in the art, including 25 crystallization, extraction and distillation. Methods suitable for converting the ester of Formula 32 to the carboxylic acid of Formula 4d are already described for Scheme 17. Further experimental details for the method of Scheme 19 are illustrated in Examples 12 and 13.

Halogenating reagents that can be used include phosphorus oxyhalides, phosphorus trihalides, phosphorus pentahalides, thionyl chloride, dihalotrialkylphosphoranes, dihalodiphenylphosphoranes, oxalyl chloride and phosgene. Preferred are phosphorus oxyhalides and phosphorus pentahalides. To obtain complete conversion, at least 0.33 equivalents of phosphorus 10 oxyhalide versus the compound of Formula 38 (i.e. the mole reatio of phosphorus oxyhalide to Formula 18 is at least 0.33) should be used, preferably between about 0.33 and 1.2 equivalents. To obtain complete conversion, at least 0.20 equivalents of phosphorus pentahalide versus the compound of Formula 38 should be used, preferably between about 0.20 and 1.0 equivalents. Compounds of Formula 38 wherein R 13 is Cl-C 4 alkyl are 15 preferred for this reaction. Typical solvents for this halogenation include halogenated alkanes, such as dichloromethane, chloroform, chlorobutane and the like, aromatic solvents, such as benzene, xylene, chlorobenzene and the like, ethers, such as tetrahydrofuran, p-dioxane, diethyl ether, and the like, and polar aprotic solvents such as acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, and the like. Optionally, an organic base, such as triethylamine, 20 pyridine, N,N-dimethylaniline or the like, can be added. Addition of a catalyst, such as N,N-dimethylformamide, is also an option. Preferred is the process in which the solvent is acetonitrile and a base is absent. Typically, neither a base nor a catalyst is required when acetonitrile solvent is used. The preferred process is conducted by mixing the compound of Formula 38 in acetonitrile. The halogenating reagent is then added over a convenient time, 25 and the mixture is then held at the desired temperature until the reaction is complete. The reaction temperature is typically between 20 oC and the boiling point of acetonitrile, and the reaction time is typically less than 2 hours. The reaction mass is then neutralized with an inorganic base, such as sodium bicarbonate, sodium hydroxide and the like, or an organic base, such as sodium acetate. The desired product, a compound of Formula 37, can be WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 25 isolated by methods known to those skilled in the art, including crystallization, extraction and distillation. Alternatively, compounds of Formula 37 wherein R 6 is halogen can be prepared by treating the corresponding compounds of Formula 37 wherein R 6 is a different halogen (e.g., 5 Cl for making Formula 37 wherein R 3 is Br) or a sulfonate group such as p-toluenesulfonate, benzenesulfonate and methanesulfonate with the appropriate hydrogen halide. By this method the R 6 halogen or sulfonate substituent on the Formula 37 starting compound is replaced with, for example, Br or Cl from hydrogen bromide or hydrogen chloride, respectively. The reaction is conducted in a suitable solvent such as dibromomethane, 10 dichloromethane or acetonitrile. The reaction can be conducted at or near atmospheric pressure or above atmospheric pressure in a pressure vessel. When R 6 in the starting compound of Formula 37 is a halogen such as Cl, the reaction is preferably conducted in such a way that the hydrogen halide generated from the reaction is removed by sparging or other suitable means. The reaction can be conducted between about 0 and 100 'C, most 15 conveniently near ambient temperature (e.g., about 10 to 40 'C), and more preferably between about 20 and 30 oC. Addition of a Lewis acid catalyst (such as aluminum tribromide for preparing Formula 37 wherein R 6 is Br) can facilitate the reaction. The product of Formula 37 is isolated by the usual methods known to those skilled in the art, including extraction, distillation and crystallization. Further details for this process are 20 illustrated in Example 14.

The desired product, a compound of Formula 38, can be isolated by methods known to those skilled in the art, such as crystallization, extraction or distillation. It is recognized that some reagents and reaction conditions described above for 30 preparing compounds of Formula I may not be compatible with certain functionalities present in the intermediates. In these instances, the incorporation of protection/deprotection sequences or functional group interconversions into the synthesis will aid in obtaining the desired products. The use and choice of the protecting groups will be apparent to one skilled in chemical synthesis (see, for example, Greene, T. W.; Wuts, P. G. M. Protective Groups in 35 Organic Synthesis, 2nd ed.; Wiley: New York, 1991). One skilled in the art will recognize that, in some cases, after the introduction of a given reagent as it is depicted in any individual scheme, it may be necessary to perform additional routine synthetic steps not described in detail to complete the synthesis of compounds of Formula I. One skilled in the WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 28 art will also recognize that it may be necessary to perform a combination of the steps illustrated in the above schemes in an order other than that implied by the particular sequence presented to prepare the compounds of Formula I. It is believed that one skilled in the art using the preceding description can prepare 5 compounds of Formula I of the present invention to its fullest extent.

Upon adding the phosphorus oxychloride, the mixture self-heated from 22 to 25 C and a precipitate formed. The light yellow slurry was heated to reflux at 83 oC over a period of 35 minutes, whereupon the precipitate dissolved. The resulting orange solution was held at reflux for 45 minutes, whereupon it had become black-green. The reflux condenser was replaced with a distillation 35 head, and 650 mL of solvent was removed by distillation. A second 2-L four-necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer was charged with sodium bicarbonate (130 g, 1.55 mol) and water (400 mL). The concentrated reaction mixture was added to the sodium WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 44 bicarbonate slurry over a period of 15 minutes. The resulting, two-phase mixture was stirred vigorously for 20 minutes, at which time gas evolution had ceased.

The mixture was treated with Celite® 545 diatomaceous earth filter aid (11 g) and then filtered to remove a 5 black, tarry substance that inhibited phase separation. Since the filtrate was slow to separate into distinct phases, it was diluted with dichloromethane (200 mL) and water (200 mL) and treated with more Celite® 545 (15 g). The mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was transferred to a separatory funnel. The heavier, deep green organic layer was separated. A rag layer (50 mL) was refiltered and then added to the organic layer. The organic solution 10 (800 mL) was treated with magnesium sulfate (30 g) and silica gel (12 g), and the slurry was stirred magnetically for 30 minutes.

(In the context of this disclosure "invertebrate pest control" means inhibition of invertebrate pest development (including mortality) that causes significant reduction in feeding or other injury or damage caused by the pest; related expressions are defined analogously.) This invention thus provides a method for protecting a plant propagule from phytophagous invertebrate pests by contacting 10 the propagule or the locus of the propagule with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I. The method of this invention using a sufficient amount of the Formula I compound has also been discovered to protect not only the propagule itself but also new growth developing from the propagule. As described herein, "treating" a propagule or locus of a propagule means applying a 15 compound of Formula I or composition containing the compound to the propagule or locus of the propagule so that the compound of Formula I is brought in contact with the propagule; related terms such as "treatment" are defined analogously. When a propagule is thus brought into contact with a biologically effective amount of a Formula I compound, the compound protects it against injury by phytophagous invertebrate pests. Not only does the 20 Formula I compound protect the external surface of the propagule, but it will be absorbed by the propagule to produce a propagule comprising the Formula I compound. If the propagule is contacted with sufficient amount of Formula I compound, enough will be absorbed to produce a biologically effective concentration of Formula I compound inside the propagule, and hence a propagule comprising a biologically effective amount of the Formula I 25 compound. If a sufficient amount of the Formula I compound is applied to raise the concentration of Formula I compound in the propagule to a concentration greater than the minimum for biological effectiveness then translocation can move a biologically effective WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 82 concentration of the Formula I compound to the developing shoot and root to protect them as well. As referred to in this disclosure, the term "invertebrate pest" includes arthropods, gastropods and nematodes of economic importance as pests. The term "phytophagous 5 invertebrate pest" refers to invertebrate pests causing injury to plants by feeding upon them, such as by eating foliage, stem, leaf, fruit or seed tissue or by sucking the vascular juices of plants. The term "arthropod" includes insects, mites, centipedes, millipedes, pill bugs and symphylans. The term "gastropod" includes snails, slugs and other Stylommatophora. The term "nematode" includes the phytophagous nematodes (Phylum or Class Nematoda). 10 Economically important phytophagous invertebrate pests include: larvae of the order Lepidoptera, such as armyworms, cutworms, loopers, and heliothines in the family Noctuidae (e.g., fall armyworm (Spodoptera fugiperda J.

The above recited cereal, vegetable, ornamental (including flower) and fruit crops are illustrative, and should not be considered limiting in any way. For reason of invertebrate pest control spectrum and economic importance, seed treatments of cotton, maize, soybean and rice, and tuber and bulb treatments of potato, sweet potato, garden 15 onion, tulip, daffodil, crocus and hyacinth are preferred embodiments of the invention. The locus of the propagules can be treated with a Formula I compound by many different methods. All that is needed is for a biologically effective amount of a Formula I compound to be applied on or sufficiently close to the propagule so that it can be absorbed by the propagule. The Formula I compound can be applied by such methods as drenching 20 the growing medium including a propagule with a solution or dispersion of a Formula I compound, mixing a Formula I compound with growing medium and planting a propagule in the treated growing medium (e.g., nursery box treatments), or various forms of propagule treatments whereby a Formula I compound is applied to a propagule before it is planted in a growing medium. 25 In these methods the Formula I compound will generally be used as a formulation or composition with an agriculturally suitable carrier comprising at least one of a liquid diluent, a solid diluent or a surfactant. A wide variety of formulations are suitable for this invention, the most suitable types of formulations depend upon the method of application. As is well known to those skilled in the art, the purpose of formulation is to provide a safe and 30 convenient means of transporting, measuring and dispensing the crop protection chemical and also to optimize its bioefficacy. Depending on the method of application useful formulations include liquids such as solutions (including emulsifiable concentrates), suspensions, emulsions (including microemulsions and/or suspoemulsions) and the like which optionally can be thickened into 35 gels. Useful formulations further include solids such as dusts, powders, granules, pellets, tablets, films, and the like which can be water-dispersible ("wettable") or water-soluble. Active ingredient can be (micro)encapsulated and further formed into a suspension or solid formulation; alternatively the entire formulation of active ingredient can be encapsulated (or WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 87 "overcoated"). Encapsulation can control or delay release of the active ingredient. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High-strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. 5 The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges that add up to 100 percent by weight.

D. S. Tomlin, Ed., British Crop Protection Council, Farnham, Surrey, U.K., 2000. Preferred insecticides and acaricides for mixing with Formula I compounds include pyrethroids such as cypermethrin, cyhalothrin, cyfluthrin and beta-cyfluthrin, esfenvalerate, 10 fenvalerate and tralomethrin; carbamates such as fenothicarb, methomyl, oxamyl and thiodicarb; neonicotinoids such as clothianidin, imidacloprid and thiacloprid; neuronal sodium channel blockers such as indoxacarb, insecticidal macrocyclic lactones such as spinosad, abamectin, avermectin and emamectin; y-aminobutyric acid (GABA) antagonists such as endosulfan, ethiprole and fipronil; insecticidal ureas such as flufenoxuron and 15 triflumuron; juvenile hormone mimics such as diofenolan and pyriproxyfen; pymetrozine; and amitraz. Preferred biological agents for mixing with compounds of this invention include Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus thuringiensis delta endotoxin as well as naturally occurring and genetically modified viral insecticides including members of the family Baculoviridae as well as entomophagous fungi. 20 Preferred plant growth regulants for mixing with the Formula I compounds in compositions for treating stem cuttings are 1H-indole-3-acetic acid, 1H-indole-3-butanoic acid and 1-naphthaleneacetic acid and their agriculturally suitable salt, ester and amide derivatives, such as 1-napthaleneacetamide. Preferred fungicides for mixing with the Formula I compounds include fungicides useful as seed treatments such as thiram, maneb, 25 mancozeb and captan. In the following Examples, all percentages are by weight and all formulations are prepared in conventional ways. Compound numbers refer to compounds in Index Table A. Example A Wettable Powder 30 Compound 208 65.0% dodecylphenol polyethylene glycol ether 2.0% sodium ligninsulfonate 4.0% sodium silicoaluminate 6.0% montmorillonite (calcined) 23.0%.

Example C Extruded Pellet Compound 509 25.0% anhydrous sodium sulfate 10.0% 10 crude calcium ligninsulfonate 5.0% sodium alkylnaphthalenesulfonate 1.0% calcium/magnesium bentonite 59.0%. Example D Emulsifiable Concentrate 15 Compound 516 20.0% blend of oil soluble sulfonates and polyoxyethylene ethers 10.0% isophorone 70.0%. For growing-medium drenches, the formulation needs to provide the Formula I 20 compound, generally after dilution with water, in solution or as particles small enough to remain dispersed in the liquid. Water-dispersible or soluble powders, granules, tablets, emulsifiable concentrates, aqueous suspension concentrates and the like are formulations suitable for aqueous drenches of growing media. Drenches are most satisfactory for treating growing media that have relatively high porosity, such as light soils or artificial growing 25 medium comprising porous materials such as peat moss, perlite, vermiculite and the like. The drench liquid comprising the Formula I compound can also be added to a liquid growing medium (i.e. hydroponics), which causes the Formula I compound to become part of the liquid growing medium. One skilled the art will appreciate that the amount of Formula I compound needed in the drench liquid for invertebrate pest control efficacy (i.e. biologically 30 effective amount) will vary with the type of propagule, the Formula I compound, the duration and extent of plant protection desired, the invertebrate pests to be controlled and environmental factors. The concentration of Formula I compound in the drench liquid is generally between about 0.01 ppm and 10,000 ppm, more typically between about 1 ppm and 100 ppm. One skilled in the art can easily determine the biologically effective 35 concentration necessary for the desired level ofphytophagous invertebrate pest control. For treating a growing medium a Formula I compound can also be applied by mixing it as a dry powder or granule formulation with the growing medium. Because this method of WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 92 application does not require first dispersing or dissolving in water, the dry powder or granule formulations need not be highly dispersible or soluble. While in a nursery box the entire body of growing medium may be treated, in an agricultural field only the soil in the vicinity of the propagule is typically treated for environmental and cost reasons. To minimize 5 application effort and expense, a formulation of Formula I compound is most efficiently applied concurrently with propagule planting (e.g., seeding). For in-furrow application, the Formula I formulation (most conveniently a granule formulation) is applied directly behind the planter shoe. For T-band application, the Formula I formulation is applied in a band over the row behind the planter shoe and behind or usually in front of the press wheel. One 10 skilled the art will appreciate that the amount of Formula I compound needed in the growing medium locus for invertebrate pest control efficacy (i.e. biologically effective amount) will vary with the type of propagule, the Formula I compound, the duration and extent of plant protection desired, the invertebrate pests to be controlled and environmental factors. The concentration of Formula I compound in the growing medium locus of the propagule is 15 generally between about 0.0001 ppm and 100 ppm, more typically between about 0.01 ppm and 10 ppm. One skilled in the art can easily determine the biologically effective amount necessary for the desired level of phytophagous invertebrate pest control. A propagule can be directly treated by soaking it in a solution or dispersion of a Formula I compound. Although this application method is useful for propagules of all types, 20 treatment of large seeds (e.g., having a mean diameter of at least 3 mm) is more effective than treatment of small seeds for providing invertebrate pest control protection to. the developing plant. Treatment of propagules such as tubers, bulbs, corms, rhizomes and stem and leaf cuttings also can provide effective treatment of the developing plant in addition to the propagule. The formulations useful for growing-medium drenches are generally also 25 useful for soaking treatments. The soaking medium comprises a nonphytotoxic liquid, generally water-based although it may contain nonphytotoxic amounts of other solvents such as methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, propylene carbonate, benzyl alcohol, dibasic esters, acetone, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, cyclohexanone, dimethylsulfoxide and N-methylpyrrolidone, which may be useful for enhancing solubility 30 of the Formula I compound and penetration into the propagule. A surfactant can facilitate wetting of the propagule and penetration of the Formula I compound. One skilled the art will appreciate that the amount of Formula I compound needed in the soaking medium for invertebrate pest control efficacy (i.e. biologically effective amount) will vary with the type of propagule, the Formula I compound, the duration and extent of plant protection desired, 35 the invertebrate pests to be controlled and environmental factors. The concentration of Formula I compound in the soaking liquid is generally between about 0.01 ppm and 10,000 ppm, more typically between about 1 ppm and 100 ppm. One skilled in the art can easily determine the biologically effective concentration necessary for the desired level of WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 93 phytophagous invertebrate pest control. The soaking time can vary from 1 minute to 1 day or even longer. Indeed the propagule can remain in the treatment liquid while it is germinating or sprouting (e.g., sprouting of rice seeds prior to direct seeding). As shoot and root emerge through the testa (seed coat), the shoot and root directly contact the solution 5 comprising the Formula I compound. For treatment of sprouting seeds of large-seeded crops such as rice, treatment times of about 8 to 48 hours, e.g., about 24 hours, is typical. Shorter times are most useful for treating small seeds. A propagule can also be coated with a composition comprising a biologically effective amount of a Formula I compound. The coatings of the invention are capable of effecting a 10 slow release of a Formula I compound by diffusion into the propagule and surrounding medium. Coatings include dry dusts or powders adhering to the propagule by action of a sticking agent such as methylcellulose or gum arabic. Coatings can also be prepared from suspension concentrates, water-dispersible powders or emulsions that are suspended in water, sprayed on the propagule in a tumbling device and then dried. Formula I compounds 15 that are dissolved in the solvent can be sprayed on the tumbling propagule and the solvent then evaporated. Such compositions preferably include ingredients promoting adhesion of the coating to the propagule. The compositions may also contain surfactants promoting wetting of the propagule. Solvents used must not be phytotoxic to the propagule; generally water is used, but other volatile solvents with low phytotoxicity such as methanol, ethanol, 20 methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, acetone, etc. may be employed alone or in combination. Volatile solvents are those with a normal boiling point less than about 100 'C. Drying must be conducted in a way not to injure the propagule or induce premature germination or sprouting. The thickness of coatings can vary from adhering dusts to thin films to pellet layers 25 about 0.5 to 5 mm thick. Propagule coatings of this invention can comprise more than one adhering layers, only one of which need comprise a Formula I compound. Generally pellets are most satisfactory for small seeds, because their ability to provide a biologically effective amount of a Formula I compound is not limited by the surface area of the seed, and pelleting small seeds also facilitates seed transfer and planting operations. Because of their larger size 30 and surface area, large seeds and bulbs, tubers, corms and rhizomes and their viable cuttings are generally not pelleted, but instead coated with powders or thin films. Propagules contacted with compounds of Formula I in accordance to this invention include seeds. Suitable seeds include seeds of wheat, durum wheat, barley, oat, rye, maize, sorghum, rice, wild rice, cotton, flax, sunflower, soybean, garden bean, lima bean, broad 35 bean, garden pea, peanut, alfalfa, beet, garden lettuce, rapeseed, cole crop, turnip, leaf mustard, black mustard, tomato, potato, pepper, eggplant, tobacco, cucumber, muskmelon, watermelon, squash, carrot, zinnia, cosmos, chrysanthemum, sweet scabious, snapdragon, gerbera, babys-breath, statice, blazing star, lisianthus, yarrow, marigold, pansy, impatiens, WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 94 petunia, geranium and coleus. Of note are seeds of cotton, maize, soybean and rice. Propagules contacted with compounds of Formula I in accordance to this invention also include rhizomes, tubers, bulbs or corms, or viable divisions thereof. Suitable rhizomes, tubers, bulbs and corms, or viable divisions thereof include those of potato, sweet potato, 5 yam, garden onion, tulip, gladiolus, lily, narcissus, dahlia, iris, crocus, anemone, hyacinth, grape-hyacinth, freesia, ornamental onion, wood-sorrel, squill, cyclamen, glory-of-the-snow, striped squill, calla lily, gloxinia and tuberous begonia. Of note are rhizomes, tubers, bulbs and corms, or viable division thereof of potato, sweet potato, garden onion, tulip, daffodil, crocus and hyacinth. Propagules contacted with compounds of Formula I in accordance to 10 this invention also include stems and leaf cuttings. One embodiment of a propagule contacted with a Formula I compound is a propagule coated with a composition comprising a compound of Formula I, its N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof and a film former or adhesive agent. Compositions of this invention which comprise a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, its 15 N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof and a film former or adhesive agent, can further comprise an effective amount of at least one additional biologically active compound or agent. Of note are compositions comprising (in addition to the Formula I component and the film former or adhesive agent) an arthropodicides of the group consisting of pyrethroids, carbamates, neonicotinoids, neuronal sodium channel blockers, insecticidal macrocyclic 20 lactones, y--aminobutyric acid (GABA) antagonists, insecticidal ureas and juvenile hormone mimics.

Also of note are compositions comprising (in 5 addition to the Formula I component and the film former or adhesive agent) at least one additional biologically active compound or agent selected from fungicides of the group consisting of acibenzolar, azoxystrobin, benomyl, blasticidin-S, Bordeaux mixture (tribasic copper sulfate), bromuconazole, carpropamid, captafol, captan, carbendazim, chloroneb, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, copper salts, cyflufenamid, cymoxanil, cyproconazole, 10 cyprodinil, (S)-3,5-dichloro-N-(3-chloro- 1-ethyl-I -methyl-2-oxopropyl)-4-methylbenzamide (RH 7281), diclocymet (S-2900), diclomezine, dicloran, difenoconazole, (S)-3,5-dihydro-5 methyl-2-(methylthio)-5-phenyl-3-(phenylamino)-4H-imidazol-4-one (RP 407213), dimethomorph, dimoxystrobin, diniconazole, diniconazole-M, dodine, edifenphos, epoxiconazole, famoxadone, fenamidone, fenarimol, fenbuconazole, fencaramid (SZX0722), 15 fenpiclonil, fenpropidin, fenpropimorph, fentin acetate, fentin hydroxide, fluazinam, fludioxonil, flumetover (RPA 403397), flumorf/flumorlin (SYP-L1 90), fluoxastrobin (HEC 5725), fluquinconazole, flusilazole, flutolanil, flutriafol, folpet, fosetyl-aluminum, furalaxyl, furametapyr (S-82658), hexaconazole, ipconazole, iprobenfos, iprodione, isoprothiolane, kasugamycin, kresoxim-methyl, mancozeb, maneb, mefenoxam, mepronil, metalaxyl, 20 metconazole, metominostrobin/fenominostrobin (SSF-126), metrafenone (AC 375839), myclobutanil, neo-asozin (ferric methanearsonate), nicobifen (BAS 510), orysastrobin, oxadixyl, penconazole, pencycuron, probenazole, prochloraz, propamocarb, propiconazole, proquinazid (DPX-KQ926), prothioconazole (JAU 6476), pyrifenox, pyraclostrobin, pyrimethanil, pyroquilon, quinoxyfen, spiroxamine, sulfur, tebuconazole, tetraconazole, 25 thiabendazole, thifluzamide, thiophanate-methyl, thiram, tiadinil, triadimefon, triadimenol, tricyclazole, trifloxystrobin, triticonazole, validamycin and vinclozolin (especially compositions wherein the at least one additional biologically active compound or agent is selected from fungicides in the group consisting of thiram, maneb, mancozeb and captan). Generally a propagule coating of the invention comprises a compound of Formula I, a 30 film former or sticking agent. The coating may further comprise formulation aids such as a dispersant, a surfactant, a carrier and optionally an antifoam and dye. One skilled the art will appreciate that the amount of Formula I compound needed in the coating for invertebrate pest control efficacy (i.e. biologically effective amount) will vary with the type of propagule, the Formula I compound, the duration and extent of plant protection desired, the invertebrate 35 pests to be controlled and environmental factors. The coating needs to not inhibit germination or sprouting of the propagule and should be consistently efficacious in reducing plant injury during the plant-injury-causing phase of the target invertebrate pest's life cycle. A coating comprising sufficient Formula I compound can provide invertebrate pest control WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 96 protection for up to about 120 days or even longer. Generally the amount of Formula I compound ranges from about 0.001 to 50% of the weight of the propagule, for seeds more often in the range of about 0.01 to 50% of the seed weight, and most typically for large seeds in the range of about 0.1 to 10% of the seed weight. However, larger amounts up to about 5 100% or more are useful, particularly for pelleting small seed for extended invertebrate pest control protection. For propagules such as bulbs, tubers, corms and rhizomes and their viable cuttings, and stem and leaf cuttings, generally the amount of Formula I compound ranges from about 0.001 to 5% of the propagule weight, with the higher percentages used for smaller propagules. One skilled in the art can easily determine the biologically effective 10 amount necessary for the desired level ofphytophagous invertebrate pest control. The film former or adhesive agent component of the propagule coating is composed preferably of an adhesive polymer that may be natural or synthetic and is without phytotoxic effect on the propagule to be coated. The film former or sticking agent may be selected from polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl acetate copolymers, hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetates, 15 polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl alcohols, polyvinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinyl methyl ether, polyvinyl methyl ether-maleic anhydride copolymer, waxes, latex polymers, celluloses including ethylcelluloses and methylcelluloses, hydroxy methylcelluloses, hydroxypropylcellulose, hydroxymethylpropylcelluloses, polyvinyl pyrrolidones, alginates, dextrins, malto-dextrins, polysaccharides, fats, oils, proteins, karaya 20 gum, jaguar gum, tragacanth gum, polysaccharide gums, mucilage, gum arabics, shellacs, vinylidene chloride polymers and copolymers, soybean-based protein polymers and copolymers, lignosulfonates, acrylic copolymers, starches, polyvinylacrylates, zeins, gelatin, carboxymethylcellulose, chitosan, polyethylene oxide, acrylimide polymers and copolymers, polyhydroxyethyl acrylate, methylacrylimide monomers, alginate, ethylcellulose, 25 polychloroprene and syrups or mixtures thereof. Preferred film formers and adhesive agents include polymers and copolymers of vinyl acetate, polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymer and water-soluble waxes. Particularly preferred are polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetate copolymers and water-soluble waxes. The above-identified polymers include those known in the art and for example some are identified as Agrimer® VA 6 and Licowax® 30 KST. The amount of film former or sticking agent in the formulation is generally in the range of about 0.001 to 100% of the weight of the propagule. For large seeds the amount of film former or sticking agent is typically in the range of about 0.05 to 5% of the seed weight; for small seeds the amount is typically in the range of about I to 100%, but can be greater than 100% of seed weight in pelleting. For other propagules the amount of film former or 35 sticking agent is typically in the range of 0.001 to 2% of the propagule weight. Materials known as formulation aids may also be used in propagule treatment coatings of the invention for the invertebrate pest control and are well known to those skilled in the art. Formulation aids assist in the production or process of propagule treatment and include WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 97 but are not limited to dispersants, surfactants, carriers, antifoams and dyes. Useful dispersants can include highly water-soluble anionic surfactants like BorresperseTM CA, Morwet® D425 and the like. Useful surfactants can include highly water-soluble nonionic surfactants like Pluronic® F108, Brij® 78 and the like. Useful carriers can include liquids 5 like water and oils which are water soluble such as alcohols. Useful carriers can also include fillers like woodflours, clays, activated carbon, diatomaceous earth, fine-grain inorganic solids, calcium carbonate and the like. Clays and inorganic solids which may be used include calcium bentonite, kaolin, china clay, talc, perlite, mica, vermiculite, silicas, quartz powder, montmorillonite and mixtures thereof. Antifoams can include water dispersible 10 liquids comprising polyorganic siloxanes like Rhodorsil® 416. Dyes can include water dispersible liquid colorant compositions like Pro-lzed® Colorant Red. One skilled in the art will appreciate that this is a non-exhaustive list of formulation aids and that other recognized materials may be used depending on the propagule to be coated and the compound of Formula I used in the coating. Suitable examples of formulation aids include those listed 15 herein and those listed in McCutcheon's 2001, Volume 2: Functional Materials, published by MC Publishing Company. The amount of formulation aids used may vary, but generally the weight of the components will be in the range of about 0.001 to 10000% of the propagule weight, with the percentages above 100% being mainly used for pelleting small seed. For nonpelleted seed generally the amount of formulating aids is about 0.01 to 45% of the seed 20 weight and typically about 0.1 to 15% of the seed weight. For propagules other than seeds, the amount of formulation aids generally is about 0.001 to 10% of the propagule weight. Conventional means of applying seed coatings may be used to carry out the coating of the invention. Dusts or powders may be applied by tumbling the propagule with a formulation comprising a Formula I compound and a sticking agent to cause the dust or 25 powder to adhere to the propagule and not fall off during packaging or transportation. Dusts or powders can also be applied by adding the dust or powder directly to the tumbling bed of propagules, followed by spraying a carrier liquid onto the seed and drying. Dusts and powders comprising a Formula I compound can also be applied by treating (e.g., dipping) a least a portion of the propagule with a solvent such as water, optionally comprising a 30 sticking agent, and dipping the treated portion into a supply of the dry dust or powder. This method can be particularly useful for coating stem cuttings. Propagules can also be dipped into compositions comprising Formula I formulations of wetted powders, solutions, suspoemulsions, emulfiable concentrates and emulsions in water, and then dried or directly planted in the growing medium. Propagules such as bulbs, tubers, corms and rhizomes 35 typically need only a single coating layer to provide a biologically effective amount of a Formula I compound. Propagules may also be coated by spraying a suspension concentrate directly into a tumbling bed of propagules and then drying the propagules. Alternatively, other formulation WO 03/024222 PCT/US02/30302 98 types like wetted powders, solutions, suspoemulsions, emulsifiable concentrates and emulsions in water may be sprayed on the propagules. This process is particularly useful for applying film coatings to seeds. Various coating machines and processes are available to one skilled in the art. Suitable processes include those listed in P. Kosters et al., Seed 5 Treatment: Progress and Prospects, 1994 BCPC Monograph No. 57 and the references listed therein. Three well-known techniques include the use of drum coaters, fluidized bed techniques and spouted beds. Propagules such as seeds may be presized prior to coating. After coating the propagules are dried and then optionally sized by transfer to a sizing machine. These machines are known in the art for example, a typical machine used when 10 sizing corn (maize) seed in the industry. For coating seed, the seed and coating material are mixed in any variety of conventional seed coating apparatus. The rate of rolling and application of coating depends upon the seed. For large oblong seeds such as that of cotton, a satisfactory seed coating apparatus comprises a rotating type pan with lifting vanes turned sufficient rpm to maintain a 15 rolling action of the seed, facilitating uniform coverage. For seed coating formulations applied as liquids, the seed coating must be applied over sufficient time to allow drying to minimize clumping of the seed. Using forced air or heated forced air can allow increasing the rate of application. One skilled in the art will also recognize that this process may be a batch or continuous process. As the name implies, a continuous process allows the seeds to 20 flow continuously throughout the product run. New seeds enter the pan in a steady stream to replace coated seeds exiting the pan. The seed coating process of the present invention is not limited to thin film coating and may also include seed pelleting. The pelleting process typically increases the seed weight from 2 to 100 times and can be used to also improve the shape of the seed for use in 25 mechanical seeders. Pelleting compositions generally contain a solid diluent, which is typically an insoluble particulate material, such as clay, ground limestone, powdered silica, etc. to provide bulk in addition to a binder such as an artificial polymer (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol, hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl methyl ether, polyvinyl methyl ether maleic anhydride copolymer, and polyvinylpyrrolidinone) or natural polymer (e.g., alginates, 30 karaya gum, jaguar gum, tragacanth gum, polysaccharide gum, mucilage). After sufficient layers have been built up, the coat is dried and the pellets graded. A method for producing pellets is described in Agrow, The Seed Treatment Market, Chapter 3, PJB Publications Ltd., 1994.

Pluronic® F- 108 is a highly water soluble, nonionic dispersant having a melting point of 57 'C comprising polyoxypropylene polyoxyethylene block copolymer and marketed by BASF. Brij® 78 is a highly water soluble, nonionic dispersant having a pour point of 38 'C comprising stearyl alcohol (POE 20) and marketed by Uniqema.

Pro-lzed® Colorant Red is a water-dispersible liquid colorant composition comprising a red colorant, kaolin clay and a nonionic surfactant and marketed by Gustafson. A suspension carrier (253.20 g) was prepared by first dissolving Brij® 78 (6.00 g) in warm water (210.48 g), followed by vigorously mixing in Agrimer® VA 6 (15.00 g), 25 Licowax® KST (15.00 g), Borresperse T M CA (3.00 g), Pluronic® F-108 (3.00 g), Brij® 78 (6.00 g), Rhodorsil® 416 (0.6 g) and Pro-lzed® Colorant Red (0.12 g). Compound 208 (15.6 g) was added to a beaker, followed by a portion of the thoroughly mixed suspension carrier (84.4 g), and a spatula was used to fold Compound 208 into the suspension carrier.

WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 100 The mixture was then further homogenized using a Polytron high-speed rotor stator disperser (marketed by Brinkman Instruments Inc., Cantiague Rd., Westbury, NY 11590 U.S.A.) with a 10 mm generator probe, which disintegrated aggregates of Compound 208. The resulting slurry was then transferred to a running mill charged to 80% capacity 5 with 0.5-mm, mono-sized, high-density ceramic milling media and cooled by passing a chilled aqueous 33% ethylene glycol solution through the cooling jacket of the milling chamber. The slurry was recirculated through the milling chamber for 13 minutes with the agitator spinning at 4300 rpm. The circulation pipe end was then moved from the mill feed funnel to a collection bottle to obtain the finished pink, highly pourable flowable suspension 10 (89.5 g). The diameters of the micronized (milled) particles in the suspension were analyzed using a laser diffraction instrument. Using the average of two measurements, the arithmetic mean particle diameter was 2.03 jtm, 90% of the particles were less than 5.21 ptm diameter, 10% of the particles were less than 0.30 tm diameter, and the median particle diameter was 15 1.0 tm. Step 2: Coating cottonseed with composition comprising Compound 208 Cottonseed (Stoneville 4793 RR, 122.5 g) were added to a stainless-steel pot (12 cm i.d., 11 cm depth) containing two counter-opposing lifting vanes to lift the seed as the pot turns. The pot was oriented at a 40 to 450 angle from horizontal and mechanically rotated at 20 640 rpm, which caused good mixing and tumbling action inside the pot. The flowable prepared in Step 1 was sprayed directly on the tumbling bed of seed with a supply air pressure of 10-11 psi (69-76 kPa) to produce fine droplets. By measuring the weight of the reservoir, the amount of flowable suspension sprayed on the seeds could be determined. With the seeds tumbling, the hand-held atomizer was pointed inside the pot to 25 direct spray at the center of the tumbling bed of seed. Spraying was continued until the seed surfaces became tacky, causing the seeds to clump together. The atomizer was then shut off, and the seed coating was quickly dried by blowing on the seed low-pressure air at room temperature from a nozzle mounted to direct airflow inside the pot. The increasing sound of tumbling seeds provided an audible signal that the seed coating was sufficiently dry. The 30 drying airflow was then shut off, and spraying using the hand-held atomizer was resumed. The cycle of spraying and drying was repeated until the desired amount of flowable suspension had been applied to the seeds. The drying of the seed coating was then completed by exposure to a low flow of ambient air for 60 hours. The weights of Compound 208 applied to each of ten seeds from each batch was 35 determined by macerating each seed in a bead mill and then adding acetonitrile extraction solvent. The extracts were centrifuged and aliquots of the supernate supernatantt liquid) were diluted 10,000:1 and then analyzed by LC/MS. The analysis results are listed in Table 8.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES OF THE INVENTION TEST A Cotton seeds coated with a composition of Compound 208 from the Nominal 1%, Nominal 2% and Nominal 3% concentration batches prepared as described in Example E 5 and untreated seeds for comparison were planted in pots using sterile Sassafras soil and grown in a growth chamber with 16 hours of light at 28 oC and 8 hours of darkness at 24 'C and 50% relative humidity. After 31 days two plants, each having true leaves, were selected from each of the seed batches and their cotyledons were removed. Adult Bemisia argentifolii (silverleaf whitefly) were added for egg-laying on the plants, and plastic 10 cylinders capped with tissue paper were fitted into the pots. Three days later, the adults were removed and the leaves were checked to verify egg deposits. Fifteen days later (about six days after egg hatching), the infested leaves were removed from the plants and the 49-day results determined by counting the dead and live nymphs on the undersides of the leaves. Adult Bemisia argentifolii were reintroduced for a second round of egg-laying on upper 15 leaves of the plants, and plastic cylinders with tissue paper were fitted into the pots as before. Three days later, the adults were removed and the leaves were checked to verify egg deposits. Fourteen days later (about six days after egg hatching), the leaves were removed from the plants and the 66-day results determined by counting the dead and live nymphs on the undersides of the leaves. The results from both rating times are summarized in Table A. 20 TABLE A Control of Silverleaf Whitefly by Coating Cottonseed with Compositions of Compound 208 Treatment 49-day % Mortality 66-day % Mortality Nominal 1% concentration 38 17 Nominal 2% concentration 72 41 Nominal 3% concentration 95 81 Untreated 15 10 WO 03/024222 PCT/USO2/30302 135 This test demonstrates that seed coatings according to this invention can protect cotton plants from the homopteran pest Bemisia argentifolii for more than 9 weeks after seeding. TEST B Cotton seeds coated with a composition of Compound 208 from the Nominal 1%, 5 Nominal 2% and Nominal 3% concentration batches prepared as described in Example E and untreated seeds for comparison were planted in 10-cm pots using sterile sassafras soil and grown in a growth chamber with 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness at 25 'C and 50% relative humidity. Leaves were harvested from some of the plants 14 days after seeding, cut into 3 to 4 pieces, and placed one piece per well in covered 16-well translucent 10 plastic trays in the growth chamber. Second-instar larvae of Heliothis virescens (tobacco budworm) were added to the leaf pieces (1 larva/well, 6-10 larvae per treatment/leaf type), and the insect mortality was determined 48 hours and 96 hours after infestation. Leaves were harvested from other of the plants 64 days after seeding, cut into 3 to 4 pieces, and placed one piece per well in covered 16-well translucent plastic trays in the growth chamber. 15 Second-instar larvae of Heliothis virescens (tobacco budworm) were added to the leaf pieces (1 larva/well, 6-16 larvae per treatment/leaf location), and the insect mortality was determined 72 hours and 96 hours after infestation. The results are summarized in Tables B I and B2.
