The content or concentration of the active compounds of formula (I) of the present invention in 15 commercially useful forms may vary widely. In particular, the concentration of the active compounds of formula (1) of the present invention may vary from 0.0000001 to 100 % by weight, preferably from 0.00001 to 1% by weight and further preferably from 0.0001 to 0.5 % by weight. According to the invention, the compounds of formula (1) be used in a conventional method fit to 20 the working forms. Application is in a manner appropriate for the use forms. In the agricultural field, i.e. in the field of plant protection, all plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are to be understood as meaning in the present context all plants and plant populations such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including 25 naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional plant breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or by combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant cultivars protectable or not protectable by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all parts and organs of plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and 30 root, examples which may be mentioned being leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material, and WO 2008/019760 PCT/EP2007/006798 44 vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offshoots and seeds. Treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the compound according to the invention is carried out directly or by allowing the compound or to act on the surroundings, 5 habitat or storage space by the customary treatment methods, for example by watering (drenching), drip irrigation, spraying, vaporizing, atomizing, broadcasting, dusting, foaming, spreading-on, and as a powder for dry seed treatment, a solution for seed treatment, a water-soluble powder for seed treatment, a water-soluble powder for slurry treatment, or by encrusting, and in the case of propagation material, in particular in the case of seeds, moreover by dry treatments, slurry 10 treatments, liquid treatments, by one- or multi-layer coating.. It is furthermore possible to apply the active compounds by the ultra-low volume method, or to inject the active compound preparation or the active compound itself into the soil. The compounds according to the invention are particularly suitable for treating seed. Thus, a large part of the damage to crop plants which is caused by pests occurs as early as when the seed is 15 attacked during storage and after the seed is introduced into the soil, during and immediately after germination of the plants. This phase is particularly critical since the roots and shoots of the growing plant are particularly sensitive and even minor damage can lead to the death of the whole plant. Protecting the seed and the germinating plant by the use of suitable compositions comprising the compound according to the invention is therefore of particularly great interest. 20 The control of pests by treating the seeds of plants has been known for a long time and is subject matter of continuous improvements. However, the treatment of seed frequently entails a series of problems which cannot always be solved in a satisfactory manner. Thus, it is desirable to develop methods for protecting the seed and the germinating plant which dispense with the additional application of crop protection agents after sowing or after the emergence of the plants or where 25 additional applications are at least reduced. It is furthermore desirable to optimize the amount of active compound employed in such a way as to provide maximum protection for the seed and the germinating plant from attack by pests, but without damaging the plant itself by the active compound employed. In particular, methods for the treatment of seed should also take into consideration the intrinsic insecticidal properties of transgenic plants in order to achieve optimum 30 protection of the seed and the germinating plant with a minimum of crop protection agents being employed.

WO 20081019760 PCTIEP2007/006798 45 In the agricultural field, the dose of active compound/ application rate usually applied in the method of treatment according to the invention is for foliar treatments: from 0.1 to 10,000 g/ha, preferably from 10 to 1,000 g/ha, more preferably from 50 to 300g/ha; in case of drench or drip application, the dose can be reduced; for seed treatment: from 2 to 200 g per 100 kilogram of seed, 5 preferably from 3 to ISO g per 100 kilogram of seed; and for soil treatment: from 0.1 to 10,000 g/ha, preferably from I to 5,000 g/ha. As already mentioned before, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by 10 conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and parts thereof are treated. The terms "parts", "parts of plants" and "plant parts" have been explained above. 15 Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars are to be understood as meaning plants having novel properties ("traits") which have been obtained by conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. These can be cultivars, bio- or genotypes. The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (obtained by genetic engineering) which are preferably to 20 be treated according to the invention include all plants which, by virtue of the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted 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 content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, higher quality and/or 25 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 traits are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, 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 30 important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, sugar beet, tomatoes, peas and other vegetable varieties, cotton, tobacco, 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, tobacco and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized are in particular WO 2008/019760 PCT/EP2007/006798 46 increased defence of the plants against insects, arachnids, nematodes and slugs and snails by virtue of toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CrylIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryF and also combinations thereof) (referred to 5 hereinbelow as "Bt plants"). Traits that are also particularly emphasized are the increased defence of the plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systernin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or 10 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 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@ 15 (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 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 20 plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield@ (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars having these genetic traits or genetic traits still to be developed, which plant cultivars will be developed and/or marketed in the future, The plants listed can be treated in a particularly advantageous manner with the active compound 25 according to the invention. The preferred ranges stated above for the active compound also apply to the treatment of these plants. When the active compounds of the present invention are used in the hygiene sector, particularly are used against hygiene pests or pests in stored substances, they have stability against alkali on calciphilous materials and produces excellent residual effects on woods and soils. 30 Next, the present invention will be more specifically explained by way of examples, but the present invention is not intended to be limited to these examples.
