The active ingredients of group (II) are, in accordance with the IRAC classification, assigned to different classes and groups according to their mechanism of action.

If, within this description, the short form of the common name of an active ingredient is used, this in each case encompasses all common derivatives, such as the esters and salts, and isomers, especially optical isomers, especially the commercial form or forms. If an ester or salt is referred to by the common name, this also refers in each case to all other common derivatives, such as other esters and salts, the free acids and neutral compounds, and isomers, especially optical isomers, especially the commercial form or forms. The chemical compound names mentioned refer to at least one of the compounds encompassed by the common name, frequently a preferred compound.

Surprisingly, the insecticidal and/or acaricidal action of the inventive active ingredient combinations is much higher than the total of the actions of the individual active ingredients. There is an unforeseeable true synergistic effect and not just complementary action.

Preferred combinations comprise at least one of the active ingredients of the formula (I) specified as preferred, more preferred, even more preferred or especially preferred and one or more active ingredients selected from the group (II).

The active ingredient combinations can be converted to the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural products impregnated with active ingredient, synthetic substances impregnated with active ingredient, and also microencapsulations in polymeric substances.

These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the active ingredients with extenders, i.e. liquid solvents, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, i.e. emulsifiers and/or dispersants, and/or foam formers.

If the extender used is water, it is also possible to use, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Useful liquid solvents essentially include: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example mineral oil fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfoxide, and also water.

Useful solid carriers include: 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 solid carriers for granules are for example crushed and fractionated natural rocks, such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite, dolomite and synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material, such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable 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 dispersants are for example lignosulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose.

In the formulations it is possible to use tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose, natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, or else natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids. Further additives may be mineral and vegetable oils.

It is possible to use dyes such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyes such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

The formulations contain generally between 0.1 and 95% by weight of active ingredient, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

The inventive active ingredient combinations may be present in commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with other active ingredients, such as insecticides, attractants, sterilants, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth regulators or herbicides. The insecticides include, for example, phosphoric esters, carbamates, carboxylic esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenylureas, substances produced by microorganisms, etc. A mixture with other known active ingredients, such as herbicides, or with fertilizers and growth regulators, is also possible.

When used as insecticides, the inventive active ingredient combinations may also be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with synergists. Synergists are compounds which enhance the action of the active ingredients, without any need for the synergist added to be active itself.

The active ingredient content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available formulations may vary within wide limits. The active ingredient concentration of the application forms may be from 0.0000001 to 95% by weight of active ingredient, preferably between 0.0001 and 1% by weight.

The compounds are applied in a customary manner appropriate for the use forms.

All plants and plant parts can be treated in accordance with the invention. Plants are understood here to mean all plants and plant populations, such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants may be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which are protectable and non-protectable by plant breeders’ rights. Plant parts are understood to mean all parts and organs of plants above and below the ground, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples of which include leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits, seeds, roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material and vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, slips and seeds.

The inventive treatment of the plants and plant parts with the active ingredient combinations is effected directly or by allowing them to act on the surroundings, habitat or storage space thereof by the customary treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, vaporizing, pouring on, nebulizing, scattering, painting on, and, in the case of propagation material, especially in the case of seeds, also by applying one or more coats.

As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts in accordance with the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and also parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetical 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.

More preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are each commercially available or in use are treated in accordance with the invention.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, and the location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet) thereof, the inventive treatment may also result in superadditive ("synergistic") effects. For example, possibilities include reduced application rates and/or broadening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase in the activity of the compounds and compositions usable in accordance with the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to levels of water or soil salinity, enhanced flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated ripening, higher yields, higher quality and/or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, increased storage life and/or processibility of the harvested products, which exceed the effects normally to be expected.

The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (those obtained by genetic engineering) which are to be treated with preference in accordance with the invention include all plants which, through the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparts particular advantageous useful properties ("traits") to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to levels of water or soil salinity, enhanced flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated ripening, higher yields, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage life and/or processibility of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are an improved 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 ingredients. 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 emphasized are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CrylA(a), CryIA(b), CrylA(c), CryllA, CrylllA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CrylF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as "Bt plants"). Traits that are additionally particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain active herbicidal ingredients, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinothricin (for example the "PAT" gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question may also be present in combinations with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of "Bt plants" include maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD® (for example maize, cotton, soya), KnockOut® (for example maize), StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants include maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton, soya), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinothricin, 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) also include the varieties sold under the Clearfield® name (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to plant cultivars which have these genetic traits or genetic traits which are still to be developed and 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 mixture according to the invention. The preferred ranges stated above for the 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.

The good insecticidal and acaricidal action of the inventive active ingredient combinations is evident from the examples which follow. While the individual active ingredients have weaknesses in their action, the combinations exhibit an action which exceeds a simple sum of actions. A synergistic effect in insecticides and acaricides is present whenever the action of the active ingredient combinations is greater than the sum of the actions of the active ingredients applied individually.

Use Examples

The expected action for a given combination of two active ingredients can be calculated according to S.R. Colby, Weeds 15 (1967), 20-22 as follows:

If X is the kill rate, expressed in % of the untreated control, in the case of use of active ingredient A in an application rate of m g/ha or in a concentration of m ppm, Y is the kill rate, expressed in % of the untreated control, in the case of use of active ingredient B in an application rate of n g/ha or in a concentration of n ppm, and E is the kill rate, expressed in % of the untreated control, in the case of use of active ingredients A and B in application rates of m and n g/ha or in a concentration of m and n ppm, then

If the actual kill rate is greater than that calculated, the kill rate of the combination is superadditive, which means that a synergistic effect is present. In this case, the kill rate actually observed must be greater than the value calculated from the above formula for the expected kill rate (E).

Example A Myzus persicae test

Solvent: 78 parts by weight of acetone 1.5 parts by weight of dimethylformamide

Emulsifier: 0.5 part by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether
