2 with fungicides. Fungicidally active compounds, such as azole derivatives, aryl benzyl ethers, 10 benzamide, morpholine compounds and other heterocycles, are known (cf. K.H. Bichel "Pflanzenschutz und Schadlingsbekampfung", pages 140 to 153, Georg Thieme-Verlag, Stuttgart 1977, EP published specification 0 040 345, Gerrnan Offenlegungsschrift 2 324 010, German Offenlegungsschrift 2 201 063, EP published specification 0 112 284, EP published specification 0 304 758 and DD patent 15 specification 140 412). Mixtures of certain nitromethylene derivatives with fungicidally active compounds and their use as pesticides in crop protection are already known (US-P-4 731 385; JP published specifications 63-68507, 63/68505; 63/72 608; 63/72 609, 63/72 610, WO 20 96/03 045, Japanese patent specification 08 245 323, Japanese patent specification 04368303, Japanese patent specification 05017 311, WO 92/21 241, WO 97/22 254). Mixtures of certain open-chain nitromethylenes and nitroguanidines with fungicides are already known (Japanese published specification 30 47 106; US-P 5 181 587). Z5 Mixtures of cyclopropylcarboxamides with certain nitromethylene or nitroguanidine derivatives are already known (Japanese published specification 3 271 207).

-2 Mixtures of, inter alia, imidacloprid and fungicidally active compounds for use in the protection of materials and against termites, but not for use against plant-damaging pests, are already known (EP published specification 0 511 541). Mixtures of imidacloprid and azolylmethylcycloalkanes, in particular triticonazole, are known 5 from EP published specification 545 834. However, hitherto it has not been known that nitroguanidine derivatives and fungicides with the exception of cyclopropylcarboxamides and triticonazole have such a mutually beneficial effect in their activity that they are outstandingly suitable 10 as compositions for controlling plant pests, whilst being tolerated well by plants. The present invention relates to compositions against plant pests which contain the compound of the formula (1) H H Cl CH CH N (I) 5

The active compound combinations according to the invention can be converted into 25 the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, powders, foams, pastes, granules, aerosols, microencapsulations in polymeric compounds and in coating compositions for seeds, and ULV formulations. These formulations are produced in a known manner, for example by mixing the 30 active compounds with extenders, that is liquid solvents, liquefied gases under pressure, and/or solid carriers, optionally with the use of surfactants, that is - 29 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. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents include aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such 5 as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane, or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol -and, also their.ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone; Inethyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents, such as dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulphoxide, and also.water. Liquefied gaseous 10 extenders or carriers refer to those liquids which are gaseous at normal temperature . and under atmospheric pressure, for example aerosol propellants, such as-halogenated - hydrocarbons, and also butane, propane, nitrogen and carbon monoxide. Suitable solid carriers are: for example ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or -diatomaceous earth, and ground 15 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 and dolomite, or else synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic materials such as sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks. Suitable emulsifiers and/or foam 20 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, or else protein hydrolysates. Suitable dispersants are: for example lignin-sulphite waste liquors and methylcellulose. 25 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, or else natural phospholipids, such as cephalins and lecithins and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations. Other possible additives are 30 mineral and vegetable oils.

-30 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. 5 The formulations generally comprise between 0.1 and 95 per cent by weight of active compound, preferablybetween 0.5 and 90%. . In the formulations, the active compound combinations according to the. invention 10 can be present as a mixture with other known active compounds, such as fungicides, insecticides,, acaricides and herbicides, and as mixtures with fertilizers or plant growth regulators. The active compound combinations can be employed as such, in the form of their 15 formulations or of the use forms prepared therefrom, such as ready-to-use solutions, emulsifiable concentrates, emulsions, suspensions, wettable powders, soluble powders and granules. The application is carried out in a customary manner, for example by watering, 20 spraying, atomizing, scattering, spreading, dry dressing, wet dressing, liquid dressing, slurry treatment of seeds or incrustation. In the treatment of parts of plants, the active compound concentrations in the use forms can be varied within a relatively wide range. In general, they are between.1 and 25 0.0001% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 0.001%. In the treatment of seed, the amounts of active compound which are generally required are from 0.001 to 50 g per kilogram of seed, preferably from 0.01 to 10 g. In the treatment of the soil, active compound concentrations of from 0.00001 to 0.1% 30 by weight, preferably from 0.000"1 to 0.02% by weight, are required at the site of action.

- 31 Furthermore, it has been found that the active compound combinations according to the invention have a potent insecticidal action against insects which destroy industrial materials. 5 The following insects may be mentioned by way of example and as being preferred, but without any limitation% . Beetles, such as 10 Hylotrupes bajulus, Chlorophorus pilosis, Anobium punctatum, Xestobium rufovillosum, Ptilinus pecticormis, Dendrobium pertinex, Emobius mollis, Priobium carpini, Lyctus brunneus, Lyctus africanus, L ctus planicollis, Lyctus linearis, Lyctus pubescens, Trogoxylon aequale, Minthes rugicollis, Xyleborus spec., Tryptodendron spec., Apate monachus, Bostrychus capucins, Heterobostrychus brunneus, Sinoxylon 15 spec., Dinoderus minutus. Dermapterans, such as Sirex juvencus, Urocerus gigas, Urocerus gigas taignus, Urocerus augur. 20 Termites, such as Kalotermes flavicollis, Cryptotermes brevis, Heterotermes indicola, Reticulitermes flavipes, Reticulitermes santonensis, Reticulitermes lucifugus, Mastotermes darwiniensis, Zootermopsis nevadensis, Coptotermes formosanus. 25 Bristletails, such as Lepisma saccharina. Industrial materials are to be understood as meaning, in the present context, non-live materials such as, preferably, plastics, glues, sizes, paper and board, leather, wood and timber products, and coatings. 30 -32 The materials to be protected against attack by insects are very particularly wood and timber products. Wood and timber products which can be protected by the composition according to 5 the invention or mixtures comprising such a composition are to be understood as meaning, for example, construction timber, wooden beams, railway sleepers, bridge components, jetties, wooden vehicles, boxes, palleis containers, telephone poles, wood panelling, windows and doors made of wood, plywood, particle board, joiner's articles, or wood products which, quite generally, are used in the construction of 10 houses or in joinery. The active compound combinations can be used as such, in the form of concentrates or generally customary formulations, such as powders, granules, solutions, suspensions, emulsions or pastes. 15 The formulations mentioned can be prepared in a manner known per se, for example by mixing the active compounds with at least one solvent or diluent, emulsifier, dispersant and/or binder or fixative, water repellent, if appropriate desiccants and UV stabilizers and, if appropriate, dyes and pigments and other processing auxiliaries. 20 The insecticidal compositions or concentrates used for the protection of wood and wooden materials comprise the active compound according to the invention at a concentration of 0.0001 to 95% by weight, in particular 0.001 to 60% by weight. 25 The amount of the compositions or concentrates employed depends on the species and the occurrence of the insects and on the medium. The optimum rate of application can be determined upon use in each case by test series. However, in general, it suffices to employ 0.0001 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.001 to 10% by weight, of the active compound, based on the material to be protected. 30 -33 The solvent and/or diluent used is an organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or an oily or oil-type organochemical solvent or solvent mixture of low volatility and/or a polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or water and, if appropriate, an emulsifier and/or wetting agent. 5 Organochenical solvents which are preferably employed are oily or oil-type solvents having an evaporation number ofI above 35 and. a. flash point, of above- 30"C, preferably above 45*C. Substances which are used as such oily and oil-type solvents which have low volatility and are insoluble in water are suitable mineral oils or their 10 aromatic fractions, or mineral-oil-containing solvent mixtures, preferably white spirit, petroleum and/or alkylbenzene. Substances which are advantageously used are mineral oils with a boiling range of 170 to 220"C, white spirit with a boiling range of 170 to 220'C, spindle oil with a 15 boiling range of 250 to 350*C, petroleum or aromatics of the boiling range~160 to 280*C, essence of turpentine and the like. In a preferred embodiment, liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 180 to 210*C or high-boiling mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with a 20 boiling range of 180 to 220*C and/or spindle oil and/or monochloronaphthalene, preferably c-monochloronaphthalene, are used. The organic oily or oil-type solvents of low volatility having an evaporation number of above 35 and a flash point of above 30"C, preferably above 45 0 C, can be partially 25 replaced by organochemical solvents of high or medium volatility, with the proviso that the solvent mixture also has an evaporation number of above 35 and a flash point of above 30"C, preferably above 45 0 C, and that the insecticide/fungicide mixture is soluble or emulsifiable in this solvent mixture. 30 In a preferred embodiment, part of the organochemical solvent or solvent mixture is replaced by an aliphatic polar organochemical solvent or solvent mixture. Substances -34 which are preferably used are aliphatic organochemical solvents having hydroxyl and/or ester and/or ether groups, such as, for example, glycol ethers, esters or the like. 5 The organochemical binders used within the scope of the present invention are the synthetic resins and/or binding drying oils which are known per se and can be diluted with water and/orare soluble or dispersible or emulsifiable.in tje organochemical solvents employed,:in particular binders composed of, or toniprising, an acrylate resin, a vinyl resin,, for example polyvinyl acetate, polyester resin, polycondensation 10 or polyaddition, resin, polyurethane resin, alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin, phenolic resin, hydrocarbon resin, such as indene-coumarone resin, silicone resin, drying vegetable oils and/or drying oils and/or physically drying binders based on a natural and/or synthetic resin. 15 The synthetic resin used as the binder can be employed in the form of an emulsion, dispersion or solution. Up to 10% by weight of bitumen or bituminous substances can also be used as binders. In addition, dyes, pigments, water repellents, odour masking substances and inhibitors or anticorrosives known per se and the like can also be employed. 20 The composition or the concentrate preferably comprises, in accordance with the invention, at least one alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin and/or a drying vegetable oil as the organochemical binders. Preferably used according to the invention are alkyd resins with an oil content of over 45% by weight, preferably 50 to 68% by 25 weight. All or some of the abovementioned binder can be replaced by a fixative (mixture) or a plasticizer (mixture). These additives are intended to prevent volatilization of the active compounds and crystallization or precipitation. They preferably replace 0.01 to 30 30% of the binder (based on 100% of binder employed).

- 35 The plasticizers are from the chemical classes of the phthalic esters, such as dibutyl phthalate, dioctyl phthalate or benzyl butyl phthalate, the phosphoric esters, such as tributyl phosphate, the adipic esters, such as di-(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, the stearates, such as butyl stearate or amyl stearate, the oleates, such as butyl oleate, the glycerol 5 ethers or relatively high-molecular-weight glycol ethers, glycerol esters and p toluene-sulphonic esters. Fixatives. are chemically based on polyvinyl alkyl ethers, .such as, for example, polyvinyl methyl ether, or ketones, such as benzophenone or ethylenebenzophenone. 10 Also particularly suitable as- a solvent or diluent is water, if appropriate as a mixture with one or more of the abbvementioned organochemical solvents -or diluents, emulsifiers and dispersants. 15 Particularly effective protection of wood is achieved by large-scale industrial impregnation processes, for example vacuum, double-vacuum or pressure processes. If appropriate, the ready-to-use compositions can additionally comprise other insecticides. 20 Suitable additional components Which may be admixed are, preferably, the insecticides mentioned in WO 94/29 268. The compounds mentioned in that document are expressly incorporated into the present application by reference. 25 Very particularly preferred components which may be admixed are insecticides, such as chlorpyriphos, phoxim, silafluofen, alphamethrin, cyfluthrin, cyperrnethnfn, deltamethrin, permethrin, imidacloprid, NI-25, flufenoxuron, hexaflumuron and triflumuron. 30 The good pesticidal activity of the active compound combinations according to the invention is demonstrated by the examples below. Whereas the individual active -36 compounds or the known active compound combinations have weaknesses in the pesticidal activity, the tables of the examples below show unambiguously that the activity which was found of the active compound combinations according to the invention is greater than the sum of the activities of the individual active compounds 5 and also greater than the activities of the known active compound combinations.

Colby, S.R., "Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses of Herbicide Combinations", Weeds 15, pages 20-22,1967): if 10 X is the efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when applying the active compound A at an application rate of m g/ha, Y is the efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when applying the 15* active compound B at an application rate of n g/ha, E is the efficacy, expressed in % of the untreated control, when applying the active compounds A and B at application rates of m and n g/ha, XY then E = X + Y 20 100 If the actual fungicidal activity exceeds the calculated value, then the activity of the combination is superadditive, i.e. a synergistic effect exists. In this case, the efficacy which was actually observed must be greater than the value for the expected efficacy 25 (E) calculated from the formula set out above.

The preparation of active compound is mixed intimately with soil. Here, the 15 concentration of the active compound in the preparation is virtually immaterial; only the amount by weight of active compound per volume unit of soil, which is stated in ppm (mg/I), matters. The soil is filled into 250 ml. pots and these are allowed to stand at 20*C. 20 Immediately after preparation, 3 maize corns are placed into each pot. 14 days after the preparation, the test insects are placed into an insect bracket and attached to the - plant. 4 days after the infection, the efficacy of the active compound is determined in % by counting the dead and live test insects. The efficacy is 100% if all test insects have been killed; it is 0% if the same number of test insects is alive as in the 25 untreated control.
