Description

PESTICIDE MIXTURES The invention relates to mixtures comprising pesticidal phenylsemicarbazones and the use of said mixtures to control pests. A typical problem that occurs in the field of pest control is the need to reduce the dose regimes of the active ingredient in order to reduce or avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects while still allowing effective pest control. Another problem encountered is It relates to the need to have pest control agents available that are effective against a broad spectrum of pests. There is also a need for pest control agents that combine depletion activity with prolonged control, i.e., rapid action with long duration action. Another difficulty in relation to the use of pesticides is that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual pesticide compound leads in many cases to a rapid selection of pests that have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Therefore, there is a need for pest control agents that help prevent or overcome resistance.

Therefore, an object of the invention is to provide pesticide mixtures that solve the problems of reducing the dosage regimen and / or improving the activity spectrum and / or combining depletion activity with prolonged control and / or resistance management. EP-A 0 462 456 describes phenylcarbazones having a broad insecticidal spectrum. However, these compounds do not always show a completely satisfactory operation with respect to the above-mentioned problems. It has now been found that by mixing phenyl semicarbazones with pyradalyl, the object of the invention can be achieved at least in certain aspects. Accordingly, in one aspect of the invention, there is provided a pesticidal mixture comprising: a) a phenylcarbazone compound of the formula (I), H wherein R1 and R2 are, independently of one another, hydrogen, cyano, halogen, C] -C alkyl, C? -C4 alkoxy, C? -C4 haloalkyl or C? -C4 haloalkoxy and R3 is alkoxy of C? -C, haloalkyl of C? ~ C4 or haloalkoxy of C? -C4, or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof B) a compound of the formula (II), or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof. The common name of the compound of the formula (II) is pyridalyloyl ether of (2,6-dichloro-4- (3, 3-dichloroalyloxy) phenyl-3- [5- (trifluoromethyl) -2-pyridyloxypropyl) This invention is also related to with a method to protect plants from attack or infestation by pests, to say anthropoids, such as insects and arachnids, or nematodes, using mixtures of the compound (I) with the compound (II) (pyridalyl), with a method for controlling pests, to say harmful arthropods, such as insects and arachnids, or nematodes using mixtures of compound (I) with pyridylyl, and with the use of compound (I) and pyridyltyl to prepare said mixtures, and compositions comprising these mixtures. In the context of the invention, the term "plant" refers to a complete plant, a part of the plant, or the propagation material of the plant, especially the seed. In addition, the invention also relates to a method of treating, controlling, preventing or protecting a warm-blooded animal, or a fish against post-pest infestation or infection using the inventive mixtures. The 1-phenyl semicarbazones of the formula (I), their preparation and their action against arthropods are known (e.g., EP-A 0 482 456). Pyridalyl, its preparation and its action against pests is also known from literature (eg, The Pesticide Manual, 13th ed The British Crop Protection Council). Preferred compounds of formula (I) are those wherein: R 1 is C 1 -C 4 haloalkyl, more preferred C 2 -C 4 fluoroalkyl, in particular CF 3; R2 is CN; and R 3 is C 1 -C 4 haloalkoxy, more preferred C 1 -C 4 fluoroalcfoxy, in particular OCF 3 - "Halo" means F, CL, Br and I. Particularly preferred is the compound of the formula (I), wherein R1 is 3-CF3, R4 is 4-CN and R3 is 4-OCF3, (la) which has the common name of metaflumizone. The metaflumizone and its preparation is described, e.g., in EP-A 462 456. "Agriculturally acceptable salts" of the compounds (I) or (II) can be formed in a customary manner, eg, by reaction with an acid of the anion in question, and includes adducts of compounds (I) to (II) with maleic acid, dimaleic acid, fumaric acid, difumaric acid, methanesulfenic acid, methanesulfonic acid, and succinic acid. In addition, those salts that can be formed with, for example, amines, metal, alkaline earth metal bases or quaternary ammonium bases, including zwitterions are included. The metal and alkaline earth metal hydroxides suitable as salt formers include the salts of barium, aluminum, nickel, copper, manganese, zinc cobalt, iron, silver, lithium, sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium. Additional salt formers include chloride, sulfate, acetate, carbonate, hydride and hydroxide. Preferably, the mixture of the invention is a mixture of metaflumizone and pyridylyl.

Serial dilutions of technical grade insecticides were made in 1: 1 acetone: water diluent. The lima bean leaves were submerged in treatment solutions and allowed to air dry. A single treated leaf is placed on the upper side up towards filter paper moistened with water in plastic Petri dishes, and then seven worm larvae of the southern scree in the 3rd stage (Spodoptera eridania) were placed on each leaf. The plates were covered with a plastic lid to contain the larvae.

Each treatment was repeated 4 times (1 copy = 1 avocado Petri). After the treatment application, the infested Petri dishes were retained in the laboratory under fluorescent alumina at 26 ° C. Numbers of live and dead larvae were counted in each dish at 5 days after treatment (DAT), and the percent mortality for each treatment was calculated. To determine if the insecticide mixture was synergistic, the Limpel formula was used: E = X + Y - XY / 100 E =% expected mortality of the mixture X =% mortality of compound X as measured independently Y =% of mortality of compound Y, as measured independently. The synergism was evident if the% mortality observed for the mixture was greater than the expected% mortality. Results Table 1. Independent activity of each technical grade insecticide. Metaflumizone and Pyridalil, against 2nd stage of larvae of southern scoria worm in treated lima bean leaves.

Table 2. Mixing activity of Metaflumizone plus technical-grade pyridalylide against 3rd stage southern southern worm larvae in treated lima bean leaves The percent of observed mortality was greater than the expected mortality percent, which is indicative of synergy, based on the Limpel formula. Consequently, the insecticidal mixture of Metaflumizone plus Piridalil was synergistic in this test against the 3rd stage of the southern worm, Spodoptera eridania.
