The active compound combinations according to the invention can optionally in certain concentrations or application rates also as herbicides, safeners, growth regulators or agents for Improvement of plant properties, or as microbicides, for example as fungicides, antimycotics, bactericides, viricides (including agents against viroids) or as an agent against MLO (Mycoplasma-like-organism) and RLO (Rickettsia-like-organism). They leave optionally also as intermediates or precursors for the synthesis use other active ingredients.

According to the invention, all Plants and parts of plants are treated. Among plants are here understood all plants and plant populations, as desired and undesirable Wild plants or crops (including naturally occurring crops). Crops can Be plants by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or Combinations of these methods can be obtained, including transgenic ones Plants and including protected by plant variety rights or non-protectable plant varieties. Under plant parts are all above ground and underground Parts and organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root By way of example, leaves, needles, stems, stems, flowers, fruiting bodies, fruits and Seeds and roots, tubers and rhizomes are listed. Part of the plant parts also harvested material as well as vegetative and generative propagation material, For example, cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offshoots and seeds.

The Treatment according to the invention the plants and plant parts are carried out with the active ingredient combinations directly or by acting on their environment, habitat or Storage room after the usual Treatment methods, e.g. by dipping, spraying, evaporating, misting, Spreading, spreading, injecting and propagating material, in particular in seed, still by single or multi-layer wrapping.

Especially the mixtures according to the invention are suitable for the treatment of seeds. Preferred are the above combinations preferred according to the invention as being preferred or particularly preferred to call. This creates a big one Part of by pests caused damage to crops already by the infestation of seed during storage and after placing the seed in the soil as well while and immediately after the germination of the plants. This phase is special critical, as the roots and shoots of the growing plant are particularly are sensitive and already a small damage to death lead the whole plant can. There is therefore a particular interest in the seed and the germinating plant by the use of suitable means protect.

The fight of pests By treating the seed of plants has long been known and is subject to more permanent Improvements. Nevertheless, in the treatment of seed emerge a series of problems that are not always solved satisfactorily can. So it is worthwhile, procedures for the protection of the seed and To develop the germinating plant, the additional application of pesticides make it redundant after sowing or after emergence of the plants. It is still desirable, the amount of the active ingredient used to optimize that the seed and the germinating plant before attack by pests best possible protected is, but without the plant itself by the active ingredient used to harm. In particular, seed treatment methods should also include intrinsic insecticidal properties of transgenic plants, for optimal protection of the seed and also of the germinating plant to achieve a minimum of pesticides.

The The present invention therefore more particularly relates to Method for protecting seed and germinating plants from the Infestation of pests, by treating the seed with an agent according to the invention. The invention also relates to the use of the agents according to the invention for the treatment of seed for the protection of the seed and the resulting developing plant from pests. Furthermore, the invention relates to seed, which for protection against pests with an agent according to the invention was treated.

one the advantages of the present invention is that due to the particular systemic properties of the agents according to the invention the treatment of the seed with these means not only the seed itself, but also the resulting plants after the Emerge from pests protects. On This way can be the immediate treatment of the culture at the time the sowing or shortly thereafter omitted.

A further advantage consists in the synergistic increase of the insecticidal activity of the agents according to the invention over the insecticidal single active ingredient, which has the expected efficacy of both individually applied active ingredients goes out. Also advantageous is the synergistic increase in the fungicidal activity of the compositions of the invention over the fungicidal single active ingredient, which goes beyond the expected efficacy of the single active ingredient. This allows optimization of the amount of active ingredients used.

As well it is to be regarded as advantageous that the mixtures according to the invention especially in transgenic seed can be used, wherein the plants resulting from this seed for the expression of a against pests targeted protein are. By treating such seeds with the agents according to the invention can be specific pests already by the expression of e.g. insecticidal protein be, and in addition by the agents according to the invention saved from damage become.

The agents according to the invention are suitable for the protection of seed of any plant variety as already above called in agriculture, in the greenhouse, in forests or in the Garden construction is used. In particular, these are Seeds of maize, peanut, canola, oilseed rape, poppy, soybeans, cotton, Turnip (e.g. sugar beet and fodder beet), Rice, millet, wheat, barley, oats, rye, sunflower, tobacco, Potatoes or vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, cabbages). The agents according to the invention are also suitable for treating the seed of fruit plants and vegetables as already mentioned above. Of particular importance is the treatment seed of corn, soybean, cotton, wheat and canola or rapeseed too.

As already mentioned above, is also the treatment of transgenic seeds with an agent of the invention a special meaning too. This is the seed of plants, which usually contain at least one heterologous gene, that the expression of a poly-peptide with insecticidal particular Features controls. The heterologous genes in transgenic seeds can from microorganisms such as Bacillus, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Trichoderma, Clavibacter, Glomus or Gliocladium. The present invention is particularly suitable for the treatment of transgenic seed containing at least one heterologous gene, the from Bacillus sp. and its gene product activity against European corn borer and / or corn rootworm. It is particularly preferred this is a heterologous gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis comes.

in the Within the scope of the present invention is the agent according to the invention applied alone or in a suitable formulation on the seed. Preferably, the seed is treated in a state in which so stable is that no damage occur during treatment. In general, the treatment can of the seed at any time between harvesting and sowing respectively. Usually seed separated from the plant and used by flasks, Shells, stalks, shell Wool or pulp was freed.

in the In general, care must be taken when treating the seed be that the amount of applied to the seed agent of the invention and / or other additives is chosen so that germination of the seed or the resulting plant is not damaged. This is especially important in the case of active ingredients, which are certain application rates

As already mentioned above, can According to the invention, all plants and their parts are treated. In a preferred embodiment are wild or by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion obtained plant species and Treated plant varieties and their parts. In a further preferred embodiment are transgenic plants and plant varieties produced by genetic engineering Methods if necessary in combination with conventional methods were obtained (Genetically Modified Organisms) and their parts treated. The terms "parts" or "parts of plants" or "plant parts" have been explained above.

Especially plants according to the invention are preferred the respective commercial or plant varieties in use. Among plant varieties one understands plants with new characteristics ("Traits"), which by both conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques are. This can Be varieties, biotypes and genotypes.

ever according to plant species or plant varieties, their location and growth conditions (Floors, Climate, vegetation period, nutrition) can by the treatment according to the invention also superadditives ("synergistic") effects occur. For example, reduced application rates and / or expansions of the Spectrum of action and / or an increase in the effect of the invention can be used Substances and agents, better plant growth, increased tolerance across from high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or against water or soil salt content, increased flowering efficiency, easier harvest, Acceleration of maturity, higher Crop yields, higher quality and / or higher Nutritional value of Harvested products, higher Shelf life and / or workability of the harvested products possible, beyond the actually expected Go beyond effects.

The preferred plants or plant varieties to be treated according to the invention to be treated include all plants which, as a result of the genetic engineering modification, obtained genetic material which gives these plants particularly advantageous valuable properties ("traits"). Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or to bottoms salt, increased flowering, easier harvesting, acceleration of ripeness, higher crop yields, higher quality and / or higher nutritional value of the harvested products , higher shelf life and / or workability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are an increased defense of the plants against animal and microbial pests, as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and / or viruses as well as an increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidal active substances. Examples of transgenic plants are the important crops such as cereals (wheat, rice), corn, soybeans, potatoes, sugar beets, tomatoes, peas and other vegetables, cotton, tobacco, oilseed rape and fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and Grapes), with special emphasis on maize, soya, potato, cotton, tobacco and oilseed rape. Traits which are particularly emphasized are the increased defense of the plants against insects, arachnids, nematodes and snails by toxins which are formed in the plants, in particular those which are produced by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA (a) , CryIA (b), CryIA (c), CryIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF, and combinations thereof) in the plants (hereinafter "Bt plants"). Traits also highlight the increased resistance of plants to fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins and toxins. Traits which are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulfonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (eg "PAT" gene). The genes which confer the desired properties ("traits") can also occur in combinations with one another in the transgenic plants. As examples of "Bt plants" maize varieties, cotton varieties, soybean and potato varieties are mentioned, which are among the commercial designations 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 are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soybean varieties may be mentioned, 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 against imidazolinone) and ^STS® (tolerance to sulfonylureas eg corn). As herbicide-resistant (grown on conventional herbicide tolerance) plants are also sold under the name Clearfield ^® varieties (eg corn) mentioned. Of course, these statements also apply to future or future marketed plant varieties with these or future developed genetic traits.
