In the definition of formula I according to the invention, the individual generic terms should be understood as having the following meanings: Halogen atoms that come into consideration as substituents are fluorine and chlorine and also bromine and iodine, with fluorine, chlorine and bromine being preferred. Halogen is here to be understood as being an independent substituent or pan of a substituent, such as in haloalkyl, haloalkylthio, haloalkoxy, halophenylthio or halophenoxy.
Alkyl, alkylthio, alkoxyalkoxy and alkoxy radicals that come into consideration as substituents may be straight-chained or branched. Examples of such alkyl radicals are methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, sec.-butyl, ten.-butyl or pentyl, hexyl, octyl, decyl, dodecyl and their isomers. Suitable alkoxy radicals are inter alia: methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy, isopropoxy or butoxy and their isomers.

If the alkyl, alkoxy, alkenyl, alkynyl or aryl groups that come into consideration as substituents are substituted by halogen, they may be only partially halogenated or also perhalogenated. The definitions given above apply here for halogen, alkyl and alkoxy. Examples of the alkyl elements of those groups are methyl substituted from one to three times by fluorine, chlorine and/or by bromine, for example CHF2 or CF3; ethyl -3substituted from one to five times by fluorine, chlorine and/or by bromine, for example CH2CF3, CF2CF3, CF2CC13, CF2CHC12, CF2CHF2, CF2CFC12, CF2CHBr2, CF2CHC1F, CF2CHBrF or CC1FCHC1F; propyl or isopropyl substituted from one to seven times by fluorine, chlorine and/or by bromine, for example CH2CHBrCH2Br, CF2CHFCF3, CH2CF2CF3 or CH(CF3)2; butyl or one of its isomers substituted from one to nine times by fluorine, chlorine and/or by bromine, for example CF(CF3)CHFCF3 or CH2(CF2)2CF3.

Both the phenyl nucleus and the heterocycle may cany further substituents, for example they may each carry up to three radicals from the group halogen, alkyl, haloalkyl and alkoxy or one or two substituents from the group nitro, haloalkoxy, alkylthio and cycloalkyl. In general, the total number of substituents at the phenyl ring and at the heterocycle together is not more than four. Preferably, those two groups together carry not more than 3 further substituents from the group chlorine, bromine, methyl, ethyl and trifluoromethyl, and are bonded to one another via an oxygen atom.

Suitable granulated adsorptive carriers are porous types, for example pumice, broken brick, sepiolite or bentonite; and suitable nonsorbent carriers are, for example, calcite or sand. In addition, a great number of granulated -23materials of inorganic or organic nature can be used, e.g. especially dolomite or pulverised plant residues.
Depending on the nature of the compound of formula I to be formulated, or of the combinations of those compounds with other insecticides or acaricides, suitable surface-active compounds are non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. The term surfactants will also be understood as comprising mixtures of surfactants.
Both so-called water-soluble soaps and water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds are suitable anionic surfactants.
Suitable soaps are the alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C10-C22)» e-g- sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures which can be obtained e.g. from coconut oil or tall oil. Mention may also be made of fatty acid methyltaurin salts and modified and unmodified phospholipids as surfactants.
More frequently, however, so-called synthetic surfactants are used, especially fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates.
The fatty sulfonates or sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts and generally contain a Cg-C22alkyl radical, which also includes the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals, e.g. the sodium or calcium salt of lignosulfonic acid, of dodecyl sulfate or of a mixture of fatty alcohol sulfates obtained from natural fatty acids. These compounds also comprise the salts of sulfated and sulfonated fatty alcohol/ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain 2 sulfonic acid groups and one fatty acid radical 3q containing approximately 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Examples of alkylarylsulfonates are the sodium, calcium or triethanolamine salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, or of a condensate of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde. Also suitable are corresponding phosphates, e.g. salts of the phosphoric acid ester of an adduct of p-nonylphenol with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide.
Non-ionic surfactants are preferably polyglycol ether derivatives of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkylphenols, said -24derivatives containing 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the (aliphatic) hydrocarbon moiety and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl moiety of the alkylphenols. Further suitable non-ionic surfactants are the water-soluble adducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylenediaminopolypropylene glycol and alkylpolypropylene glycol containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, which adducts contain 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds usually contain 1 to 5 ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit Representative examples of non-ionic surfactants are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, castor oil thioxilate, polypropylene/polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, e.g. polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, are also suitable non-ionic surfactants.
Cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts which contain, as N-substituent, at least one Cg-C22aU:yl radical and, as further substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl or hydroxy-lower alkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methyl sulfates or ethyl sulfates, e.g. stearyltrimethylammonium chloride or benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium bromide.
The surfactants customarily employed in the art of formulation are described, for example, in the following publications: 1985 International McCutcheon’s Emulsifiers & Detergents, Glen Rock, NJ, USA, 1985, H. Stache, Tensid-Taschenbuch, 2nd edition, C. Hanser Verlag, Munich, Vienna, 1981, M. and J. Ash, Encyclopedia of Surfactants, Vol. I-III, Chemical Publishing Co., New York, 1980-1981.
The pesticidal compositions usually comprise 0.1 to 99 %, preferably 0.1 to 95 %, of a compound of formula I or combinations of that compound with other insecticides or acaricides, 1 to 99.9 % of a solid or liquid adjuvant, and 0 to 25 %, preferably 0.1 to 20 %, of a surfactant Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concen-25trates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations comprising considerably lower active ingredient concentrations. Typical application concentrations are from 0.1 to 1000 ppm, preferably from 0.1 to 500 ppm. The rates of application per hectare are generally from 1 to 1000 g of active ingredient per hectare, preferably from 25 to 500 g/ha.
Preferred formulations have especially the following compositions (% = percent by weight): Emulsifiable concentrates: active ingredient: surface-active agent: liquid carrier: Dusts: active ingredient: solid carrier Suspension concentrates: active ingredient: water: surface-active agent: Wettable powders: active ingredient: surface-active agent: solid carrier: to 20 %, preferably 5 to 10 % to 30 %, preferably 10 to 20 % 50 to 94 %, preferably 70 to 85 % 0.1 to 10 %, preferably 0.1 to 1 % 99.9 to 90 %, preferably 99.9 to 99 % to 75 %, preferably 10 to 50 % 94 to 24 %, preferably 88 to 30 % 1 to 40 %, preferably 2 to 30 % 0.5 to 90 %, preferably 1 to 80 % 0.5 to 20 %, preferably 1 to 15 % 5 to 95 %, preferably 15 to 90 % Granulates: active ingredient: solid carrier: 0.5 to 30 %, preferably 3 to 15 % 99.5 to 70 %, preferably 97 to 85 % The compositions may also comprise further auxiliaries such as stabilisers, antifoams, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders, tackifiers as well as fertilisers or other active ingredients for obtaining special-effects. -26The following Examples serve to illustrate the invention.
