Description

IN THE MATTER OF an Australian Application corresponding to PCT Application PCT/EP2005/007790 RWS Group Ltd, of Europa House, Marsham Way, Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, England, hereby solemnly and sincerely declares that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the following document, prepared by one of its translators competent in the art and conversant with the English and German languages, is a true and correct translation of the PCT Application filed under No. PCT/EP2005/007790. Date: 3 January 2007 N. T. SIMPKIN Acting Deputy Managing Director For and on behalf of RWS Group Ltd -1 Selective insecticides and/or acaricides based on substituted, cyclic dicarbonvl compounds and safeners The invention relates to the use of selective insecticidal and/or acaricidal active compound combinations comprising firstly substituted cyclic dicarbonyl compounds and secondly at least 5 one crop plant compatibility-improving compound, which combinations can be used for the selective control of insects and/or spider mites in various crops of useful plants. It is known that 4-chloro- und 4-nitro-4-phenyl-pyrazolyl-3,5-diones (WO 99/206 10) have herbicidal action and that 3-halo- and 3-nitro-3-phenyl-substituted pyrrolidine-2,4-diones and 4-oxofuran-2-ones (JP-A 12 086 628) have acaricidal and insecticidal action, and also 10 herbicidal, acaricidal and insecticidal action (WO 03/029 213, DE-A 103 01805, WO 03/045 957, WO 2004/069 841). Also known are 2-chloro-2-phenylcyclopentane-1,3-diones and 2-chloro-2-phenylcyclohexane 1,3-diones from WO 2004/037 749. Likewise known are 4-chloro-4-phenylpyrazolidine-3,5-diones having herbicidal and 15 insecticidal/acaricidal action from WO 2005/016 933. Moreover, selective herbicides based on substituted cyclic dicarbonyl compounds and safeners have been described (WO 2004/064 520). However, the compatibility of these compounds in particular with monocotyledonous crop plants is not under all conditions entirely satisfactory. 20 Surprisingly, it has now been found that certain substituted cyclic dicarbonyl compounds, when used together with the crop plant compatibility-improving compounds (safeners/antidotes) described below, prevent damage to crop plants extremely well and can be used particularly advantageously as broad-spectrum combination preparations for the selective control of insects even in crops of monocotyledonous useful plants, such as, for example, in 25 cereals. The invention provides the use of selective insecticidal and/or acaricidal compositions comprising an effective amount of an active compound combination comprising, as components (a) at least one substituted cyclic dicarbonyl compound of the formula (1) -2 x Y CDC Z W in which W and Z independently of one another represent hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkenyloxy, nitro or cyano, 5 X represents halogen, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxy, alkenyloxy, alkylthio, alkylsulphinyl, alkylsulphonyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, haloalkenyloxy, nitro or cyano, Y represents hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, nitro, cyano or represents optionally substituted phenyl or hetaryl, 10 CDC represents one of the groups o 0 A A B (1), B (2), - G G D O O A A, N B (3), (4) S G ,N G O D O 0 0 A A B (5) or B G (6), Q \G Q 4 O Q2 0 Q 6 in which 15 A represents hydrogen, in each case optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, -3 alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl, alkylthioalkyl, saturated or unsaturated, optionally substituted cycloalkyl in which optionally at least one ring atom is replaced by a heteroatom, or in each case optionally halogen-, alkyl-, haloalkyl-, alkoxy-, haloalkoxy-, cyano- or nitro-substituted aryl, arylalkyl or hetaryl, 5 B represents hydrogen, alkyl or alkoxyalkyl, or A and B together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent a saturated or unsaturated, unsubstituted or substituted cycle which optionally contains at least one heteroatom, D represents hydrogen or an optionally substituted radical from the group 10 consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, alkoxyalkyl, saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl in which optionally one or more ring members are replaced by heteroatoms, arylalkyl, aryl, hetarylalkyl or hetaryl or A and D together with the atoms to which they are attached represent a saturated or unsaturated cycle which is unsubstituted or substituted in the A,D moiety 15 and optionally contains at least one heteroatom, or A and Q' together represent alkanediyl or alkenediyl optionally substituted by hydroxyl or by in each case optionally substituted alkyl, alkoxy, alkylthio, cycloalkyl, benzyloxy or aryl, or

Examples of the selectively herbicidal combinations according to the invention of in each case 5 one active compound of the formula (I) and in each case one of the safeners defined above are listed in the table below. Table Examples of combinations according to the invention Active compounds of the formula (I) Safener I-i cloquintocet-mexyl I-I fenchlorazole-ethyl I-I isoxadifen-ethyl I-i mefenpyr-diethyl I-1 furilazole I fenclorim 1-1 cumyluron I-I daimuron/dymron I-1 dichlormid 1-1 dimepiperate I-I He-l I-I He-5 1-2 cloquintocet-mexyl 1-2 fenchlorazole-ethyl 1-2 isoxadifen-ethyl 1-2 mefenpyr-diethyl 1-2 furilazole 1-2 fenclorim 1-2 cumyluron -41 Active compounds of the formula (I) Safener 1-2 daimuron/dymron 1-2 dichlormid 1-2 dimepiperate 1-2 Ie-] 1 1-2 1le-5 1-3 cloquintocet-mexyl 1-3 fenchlorazole-ethyl 1-3 isoxadifen-ethyl 1-3 mefenpyr-diethyl 1-3 furilazole 1-3 fenclorim 1-3 cumyluron 1-3 daimuron/dymron 1-3 dichlormid 1-3 dimepiperate 1-3 lle-5 1-3 fle-Il 1-4 cloquintocet-mexyl 1-4 fenchlorazole-ethyl 1-4 isoxadifen-ethyl 1-4 mefenpyr-diethyl 1-4 furilazole 1-4 fenclorim 1-4 cumyluron 1-4 daimuron/dymron 1-4 dichlormid - 42 Active compounds of the formula (1) Safener 1-4 dimepiperate 1-4 Ile-]l 1-4 Dle-5 I-5 cloquintocet-mexyl 1-5 fenchlorazole-ethyl 1-5 isoxadifen-ethyl 1-5 mefenpyr-diethyl 1-5 furilazole 1-5 fenclorim I-5 cumyluron 1-5 daimuron/dymron 1-5 dichlormid 1-5 dimepiperate 1-5 Ile-5 I-5 Ile-I I 1-6 cloquintocet-mexyl 1-6 fenchlorazole-ethyl 1-6 isoxadifen-ethyl 1-6 mefenpyr-diethyl 1-6 furilazole 1-6 fenclorim 1-6 cumyluron 1-6 daimuron/dymron 1-6 dichlormid 1-6 dimepiperate 1-6 fle-5 -43 Active compounds of the formula (I) Safener 1-6 le-i I The compounds of the general formula (Ha) to be used as safeners are known and/or can be prepared by processes known per se (cf. WO-A-91/07874, WO-A-95/07897). The compounds of the general formula (Hb) to be used as safeners are known and/or can be 5 prepared by processes known per se (cf. EP-A-191736). The compounds of the general formula (1ic) to be used as safeners are known and/or can be prepared by processes known per se (cf. DE-A-2218097, DE-A-2350547). The compounds of the general formula (Hd) to be used as safeners are known and/or can be prepared by processes known per se (cf. DE-A-l 9621522/US-A-6235680). 10 The compounds of the general formula (Ile) to be used as safeners are known and/or can be prepared by processes known per se (cf. WO-A-99/66795/US-A-6251827). Surprisingly, it has now been found that the above-defined active compound combinations of substituted aryl ketones of the general formula (I) and safeners (antidotes) of group (b) listed above, whilst being tolerated very well by useful plants, have good insecticidal and/or 15 acaricidal activity and can be used in various crops, in particular in cereal (especially barley), but also in millet, maize and rice, for the selective control of insects. Here, it has to be considered to be surprising that, from a large number of known safeners or antidotes which are capable of antagonizing the damaging effect of a herbicide on the crop plants, it is in particular the abovementioned compounds of group (b) which neutralize the 20 damaging effect of substituted cyclic dicarbonyl compounds of the formula (1) on the crop plants virtually completely without negatively affecting the insecticidal and/or acaricidal activity with respect to the weeds. Furthermore, it has to be considered to be completely surprising that compounds from group (b) listed above are not only capable of virtually completely neutralizing the damaging effect 25 of substituted cyclic dicarbonyl compounds of the formula (I) on the crop plants but in some cases even enhance the insecticidal and/or acaricidal activity of the cyclic dicarbonyl compounds of the formula (1), so that a synergistic effect can be observed.

- 44 Emphasis is given here to the particularly advantageous effect of the particularly and most preferred combination partners from group (b), in particular in respect of sparing cereal plants, such as, for example, wheat, barley and rye, but also millet, maize and rice, as crop plants. 5 The combinations of active compounds can generally be used, for example, for the following plants: Dicotyledonous crops of the genera: Gossypium, Glycine, Beta, Daucus, Phaseolus, Pisum, Solanum, Linum, lpomoea, Vicia, Nicotiana, Lycopersicon, Arachis, Brassica, Lactuca, Cucumis, Cuburbita, Helianthus. 10 Monocotyledonous crops of the genera: Oryza, Zea, Triticum, Hordeum, Avena, Secale, Sorghum, Panicum, Saccharum, Ananas, Asparagus, Allium. However, the use of the combinations of active compounds is by no means limited to these genera but equally also extends to other plants. The advantageous effect of the combinations of active compounds is particularly strongly 15 pronounced at certain concentration ratios. However, the weight ratios of the active compounds in the combinations of active compounds can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, 0.001 to 1000 parts by weight, preferably 0.01 to 100 parts by weight, particularly preferably 0.05 to 10 parts by weight and most preferably 0.07 to 1.5 parts by weight of one of the crop plant compatibility-improving compounds (antidotes/safeners) 20 mentioned above under (b) are present per part by weight of active compound of the formula (I) or salts thereof. The active compounds or active compound combinations can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural and 25 synthetic materials impregnated with active compound and microencapsulations in polymeric materials. These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, that is, liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surface-active agents, that is, emulsifiers and/or dispersants and/or foam formers.

- 45 If the extender used is water, it is also possible to use for example organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Suitable liquid solvents are mainly: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as 5 cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol and ethers and esters thereof, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, and water. Suitable solid carriers are: 10 for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates; suitable as solid carriers for granules are: for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, and synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of 15 organic material such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable as emulsifiers and/or foam formers are: for example nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates and protein hydrolysates; suitable as dispersants are: for example lignosulphite waste liquors and 20 methylcellulose. Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, and natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are mineral and vegetable oils. 25 It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc. The formulations in general comprise between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active compounds, 30 including the active compounds with a safening effect, preferably between 0.5 and 90%. The combinations of active compounds are generally applied in the form of ready-to-use formulations. However, the active compounds contained in the combinations of active - 46 compounds may also be applied in the form of individual formulations which are mixed upon use, that is, in the form of tank mixes. The combinations of active compounds, as such or in their formulations, may furthermore also be used as a mixture with other known herbicides, again with ready-to-use formulations or tank 5 mixes being possible. A mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, nematicides, attractants, steriliants, bactericides, bird repellents, growth substances, plant nutrients and soil conditioners is also possible. It may furthermore be advantageous for specific applications, in particular for the post-emergence method, to incorporate into the formulations plant-compatible mineral or vegetable oils (for example the 10 commercial product "Rako Binol") or ammonium salts, such as, for example, ammonium sulphate or ammonium thiocyanate, as further additives. The combinations of active compounds can be used as such, in the form of their formulations or the use forms which can be prepared from these formulations by further dilution, such as ready-to-use solutions, suspensions, emulsions, powders, pastes and granules. Application is 15 effected in the customary manner, for example by watering, spraying, atomizing, dusting or broadcasting. The application rates of the combinations of active compound can be varied within a certain range; they depend inter alia on the weather and on the soil factors. In general, the application rates are between 0.005 and 5 kg per ha, preferably between 0.01 and 2 kg per ha, particularly 20 preferably between 0.05 and 1.0 kg per ha. The combinations of active compounds can be applied before and after emergence of the plants, i.e. by the pre-emergenece and the post-emergence method. Depending on their properties, the safeners to be used can be employed for pretreating the seed of the crop plant (seed dressing) or be incorporated into the seed furrows before sowing or, 25 together with the herbicide, be applied before or after emergence of the plants. The combinations of active compounds are suitable for controlling animal pests, preferably arthropods and nematodes, in particular insects and arachnids, encountered in agriculture, in animal healthcare, in forests, in the protection of stored products and in the protection of materials, and also in the hygiene sector. They are effective against normally sensitive and 30 resistant species and against all or individual stages of development.

Synergists are compounds which enhance the activity of the active compounds, without it being necessary for the added synergist to be active for its part. 10 The content of active compounds of the use forms prepared from the commercial formulations may vary within wide ranges. The concentration of active compounds of the use forms may be from 0.0000001 to 95% by weight of active compound and is preferably from 0.0001 to 1% by weight. Application is carried out in a customary manner adapted to the use forms. 15 According to the invention, it is possible to treat all plants and parts of plants. Plants are to be understood here as meaning all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, 20 including the transgenic plants and including the plant cultivars which can or cannot be protected by plant breeder's certificates. Parts of plants are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and below-ground parts and organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stems, trunks, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits and seeds and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. Parts of plants also include 25 harvested plants and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example seedlings, tubers, rhizomes, cuttings and seeds. The treatment of the plants and parts of plants according to the invention with the active compounds is carried out directly or by action on their environment, habitat or storage area according to customary treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, evaporating, 30 atomizing, broadcasting, brushing-on and, in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, furthermore by one- or multi-layer coating.

- 50 As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant varieties, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant 5 varieties obtained by genetic engineering, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The term "parts" or "parts of plants" or "plant parts" has been explained above. Particularly preferably, plants of the plant varieties which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. 10 Depending on the plant species or plant varieties, their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention may also result in superadditive ("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions which can be used according to the invention, better plant 15 growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible which exceed the effects which were actually to be expected. 20 The transgenic plants or plant varieties (i.e. those obtained by genetic engineering) which are preferred and to be treated according to the invention include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparts particularly advantageous useful traits to these plants. Examples of such traits are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt 25 content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, 30 bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits that are -51 particularly emphasized are the increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryLA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CrylIlA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow 5 referred to as "Bt plants"). Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example the "PAT" gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of "Bt plants" which may 10 be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD@ (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut@ (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard@ (cotton), Nucotn@ (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which 15 are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready@ (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya bean), Liberty Link@ (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape), IMI@ (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS@ (tolerance to sulphonylureas, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name 20 Clearfield@ (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant varieties having these or still-to-be-developed genetic traits, which plants will be developed and/or marketed in the future. The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly advantageous manner with the active compound mixtures. The preferred ranges stated above for the 25 mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text. Use examples Preparation of the 20 WS formulation and subsequent seed dressing In an agate mortar, the amount of safener and the amount of active compound required to 30 prepare a 20 WS formulation are dissolved in acetone, and the appropriate amount of formulation without active compounds (which is actually used to prepare Gaucho 70 WS) is added. The mixture is allowed to dry until only a small amount of residual moisture can be detected. Using a spatula, the substance is carefully detached from the side of the mortar, and - 52 the substance is comminuted in the mortar until it has dried. An amount of the laboratory formulation thus prepared which is appropriate for the amount of seed to be dressed is filled into beakers of a size big enough so that, during dressing, they are at most one third filled with seed. A sufficient amount of water (depending on the properties of the seed surface) is then 5 added. The seed is then filled into these beakers containing formulation and water and dressed on a test tube shaker with the aid of a spatula or glass rod. Once the formulation is distributed on the seed as uniformly as possible, the seed is allowed to dry in a fume hood. Practice of the test in seed trays 3 1 trays made of plastic (20 x 20 x 5 cm) are filled with sandy loam. Using a punch, the soil is 10 firmed such that the deposition depth required for the crop in question is achieved. 20 seeds/ seed tray are placed at regular intervals with the aid of a pair of tweezers impressed into the soil using the abovementioned punch. The test containers are placed in a greenhouse and, using the punch, the surface is once again firmed gently. In addition to the test substances, an untreated control is tested, too. Per variant, there are at least 2 trays. The trays are watered and 15 covered with a film until the plants have emerged. After emergence, the trays are watered 2 times a day. Evaluation is carried out by counting the plants that have emerged and by assessing damage (in %) over an interval of 5 - 14 days after sowing in comparison to the untreated control.

The desired amount of safener (in the case of mefenpyr diethyl as WP 20) is mixed into the water used for dilution. Furthermore, 2 g of ai/l of rapeseed oil methyl ester 500 EW are added. Leaves of winter barley at the 2-leaf stage which are 10 infested by the bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) are treated with the desired active compound and safener concentrations using a spray boom, the water application rate being 300 I/ha. Per variant, the test is carried out at least twice. Evaluation is carried out after 7 d and/or 14 d by assessing the plant damage in %, where both the treated plant and new growth and the kill of the grain aphids in % compared to the untreated control are evaluated. 100% 15 damage means that the plant has died, and 0% means no damage. 100% effect on the grain aphids means that all aphids have been killed; 0% means that none of the aphids have been killed. Variant b) In variant b), the active compound is applied as an SC formulation in the desired 20 concentrations as in variant a) in a mixture with mefenpyr-diethyl WP 20 and 2 g of ai/l rapeseed oil methyl ester 500 EW.

Colby, Weeds 1 (1967), 20-22 as follows: if 5 X is the kill rate when employing active compound A at an application rate of m g/ha or in a concentration of m ppm, Y is the kill rate when employing active compound B at an application rate of n g/ha or in a concentration of n ppm and E is the kill rate when using the active compounds A and B at application rates of m 10 and n g/ha or in a concentration of m and n ppm, then X-Y E=X+Y- 100 Here, the kill rate is determined in %. 0% means a kill rate which corresponds to that of the control, whereas a kill rate of 100% means that no infection is observed. 15 If the actual activity exceeds the calculated value, the activity of the combination is superadditive, i.e. a synergistic effect is present. In this case, the actually observed kill rate must exceed the value calculated using the above formula for the expected kill rate (E).

Example I Aphis gossypii test Cotton plants (Gossypium herbaceum) which are heavily infested by the cotton aphid (Aphis 10 gossypii) are sprayed to runoff point with the desired concentration of the application solution. Example J Myzus persicae test Bell pepper plants (Capsicum sativum) which are heavily infested by the green peach aphid 15 (Myzus persicae) are sprayed to runoff point with the desired concentration of the application solution. Example K Metopolophium dirhodum test Barley plants (Hordeum vulgare) which are heavily infested by a grain aphids 20 (Metopolophium dirhodum) are sprayed to runoff point with the desired concentration of the application solution. After the desired period of time, the kill in % is determined. 100% means that all aphids have been killed; 0% means that none of the aphids have been killed. The determined kill rates are entered in Colby's formula. 25 In this test, for example, the following active compound combination in accordance with the present application shows a synergistically enhanced activity compared to the active compounds applied individually: - 60 Table I Plant-damaging insects Aphis gossypii test Active compound/formulation Concentration Kill rate in ppm in % after 3d Ex.

The preparation of active compound is poured onto the soil. Here, the concentration of 10 active compound in the preparation is virtually irrelevant; only the amount by weight of active compound per volume unit of soil, which is stated in ppm (mg/I), matters. 0.25 1 pots are filled with the soil and allowed to stand at 20*C. Immediately after preparation, 5 pre-germinated maize corns of the cultivar YIELD GUARD (trade mark of Monsanto Comp., USA) are placed into each pot. After 2 days, the 15 corresponding test insects are placed into the treated soil. After a further 7 days, the efficacy of the active compound is determined by counting the maize plants that have emerged (I plant = 20% efficacy).
