Description

SYNERGISTIC COMPOSITION The present invention relates to a pesticidal synergistic composition comprising a combination of pesticides, and to a method for controlling pests with this composition. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation of the novel composition, to its use, and to the plant propagation material treated therewith, and to the use of a compound of the formula (A) which is below, for the preparation of this novel composition. Certain mixtures of pesticides have been proposed in the literature for pest control. However, the biological properties of these known mixtures are unable to meet the requirements placed on them in the field of pest control in all aspects, such that there is still a need to provide other mixtures having synergistic properties for the pest control, in particular, for the control of insects and representatives of the Acariña order. This need is satisfied by the provision of the composition of this invention.

According to the above, the invention relates to a pesticidal composition comprising a quantitatively variable combination and synergistic action of the pesticidally active compound of the formula: (A, lufenuron), in the free form or in the form of an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof, and of one or more of a pesticidally active compound (B) selected from the group of pesticides consisting of: abamectin, known from The Pesticide Manual, 10 * edition, (1994), The British Crop Protection Council, London, page 3;

The salts agrochemically acceptable compue of the formula (A) are typically acid addition salts, inorganic and organic acids, preferably hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, perchloric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, trifluoroacetic acid , oxalic acid, malonic acid, toluenesulfonic acid, or benzoic acid. Preferred compositions within the scope of this invention are those which contain the compound of the formula (A) in the free form as the active ingredient. Also preferred is a composition comprising a combination of the compound of the formula (A), and only another pesticidally active compound (B). A particularly preferred composition is one which comprises a combination of the compound of the formula (A), together with any of: a) diafentiurone, or b) furathiocarb, or c) phenoxycarb, or d) pyrimicarb, or e) triazamate, or ) imidacloprid, or g) azamethiphos, or h) monocrotophos, or i) methidathione, or k) cyromazine, or 1) profenofos, or m) sihalotrine, or n) cypermethrin, uo) aldicarb, or p) deltamethrin, or q) endosulfan, or r) chlorpyrifos, or s) methomyl, or t) terbufos, ou) carbofuran, or v) a substance obtainable from the strain Bacillus thuringiensis GC 91, or) chlorfluazurone, or x) beta-cyfluthrin , or y) methiocarb. The pesticidal combination of this invention will preferably contain the compound of the formula (A), and one of the pesticides (B), in a weight ratio of 1:50 to 50: 1, especially in a ratio of 1:20 to 20: 1, more particularly from 10: 1 to 1:10, still more particularly from 5: 1 to 1: 5, and very particularly from 2: 1 to 1: 2, and first and foremost in the proportion of 1 :1; alternatively in the ratio of 5: 1 or 5: 2, or 5: 3, or 5: 4, or 4: 1, 4: 3, or 3: 1, or 3: 2, or 2: 1, OR 1: 5, or 2: 5, Ó 3: 5, or 4: 5, or 1: 4, or 3: 4, or 1: 3, or 2: 3, Ó 1: 2. It has been found that a particularly effective composition is one that contains one part by weight of the compound of the formula (A), and 10 parts by weight of the 4-bromo-2-chlorophenyl 0-ethyl phosphorothioate S-propyl compound (profenofos ). This composition is very particularly suitable for controlling representatives of the genera Earias and Heliothis. Surprisingly, it has now been discovered that the combination of the pesticide of the formula (A) and one of the pesticides (B), not only causes the expected additive improvement of the spectrum of activity on the pests to be controlled, but also which also has a synergistic effect that enhances the activity scales of both compounds from two points of view. On the one hand, the concentrations of the compound of the formula (A) and of the individual compounds (B) are reduced, without reducing the activity of these compounds. On the other hand, the combination also achieves a high degree of pest control where the individual compounds are completely inactive at too low concentrations. This characteristic allows, on the one hand, to expand the spectrum of activity against controllable pests, and on the other, improve the security of the application. The compositions of this invention have preventive and / or curative properties useful in the field of pest control, even in a low concentration. They are well tolerated by warm-blooded animals, fish, and plants, and have a very favorable biocidal spectrum. The compositions are effective against all individual stages of development of normally sensitive as well as resistant pests of animals such as insects and representatives of the order Acariña. The establishment of the insecticidal and / or acaricidal action of the novel compositions can follow directly, that is, an annihilation of the pests will occur immediately, or only after some time, for example, where they are molted, or indirectly, for example, in a decrease in the rate of oviposition and / or shell breakage, good activity corresponding to a mortality of at least 50 to 60 percent.

Other utilities of the pesticide combinations of this invention are the protection of stored articles and materials, as well as in the hygiene sector, especially the protection of domestic animals and livestock producing against pests of the indicated type. Depending on the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances, the pesticide compositions are concentrated emulsifiable, concentrated in suspension, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, coatable pastes, diluted emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dispersible powders, wettable powders, dry powders. , granulates or encapsulations in polymeric substances, comprising the compound of the formula (A) and one or more of a pesticide (B). The active ingredients are used in these compositions in a pure form, the solid compounds typically being used in a specific particle size, or preferably together with at least one of the auxiliaries used in the formulation technology., for example, extenders such as solvents, or solid carriers, or surface activity compounds (surfactants). Suitable solvents are typically aromatic hydrocarbons or partially hydrogenated aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably alkyl benzene fractions containing from 8 to 12 carbon atoms, such as mixtures of xylene, alkylated naphthalenes or tetrahydronaphthalene, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons such as paraffin or cyclohexane. , - alcohols such as ethanol, propanol, or butanol; glycols and their ethers and esters such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol ether, diethylene glycol, or 2-methoxyethanol or 2-ethoxyethanol, ketones such as cyclohexanone, isophorone, or diacetone alcohol; strongly polar solvents such as N-methylpyrrolid-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide, or N, N-dimethylformamide, - water; vegetable oils or epoxidized vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil, castor oil, coconut oil, or soybean oil; or rapeseed oil, castor oil, coconut oil, or epoxidized soybean oil, and silicone oils. Solid carriers typically used for dry powders and dispersible powders are usually natural mineral fillers such as calcite, talc, kaolin, montmorillonite, or attapulgite. To improve the physical properties, it is also possible to add highly dispersed silicic acids or highly dispersed absorbent polymers. Suitable granular adsorbent carriers are porous types, including pumice, broken septum, sepiolite, or bentonite, and suitable non-sorbent carriers are calcite or sand. In addition, granular materials of an inorganic or organic nature, especially dolomite or pulverized plant residues, can be used. Depending on the type of compound to be formulated, suitable surface active compounds are nonionic, cationic, and / or anionic surfactants, or mixtures of surfactants having good emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties. The surfactants mentioned below will be considered merely as an example, - many more surfactants which are customary in formulation technology, and suitable for use in the practice of the invention, are described in the relevant literature. The nonionic surfactants are preferably derived from polyglycol ether of aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and alkyl phenols, these derivatives containing from 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and from 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon fraction. (aliphatic), and from 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl fraction of the alkyl phenols. Other suitable nonionic surfactants are water-soluble polyadducts of polyethylene oxide with polypropylene glycol, ethylene diamine polypropylene glycol, and alkyl polypropylene glycol, containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, whose adducts contain from 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups, and from 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. These compounds typically contain one to five units of ethylene glycol per unit of propylene glycol. Representative examples of nonionic surfactants are nonylphenol polyethoxyethanols, polyethoxylated castor oil, polypropylene oxide and polyethylene polyadducts, tributylphenol polyethoxylate, polyethylene glycol and octylphenol polyethoxylate. The polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters, for example, polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate, are also suitable nonionic surfactants. The cationic surfactants are preferably quaternary ammonium salts bearing, as N substituent, at least one alkyl radical of 8 to 22 carbon atoms, and as other substituents, unsubstituted or halogenated lower alkyl, benzyl, or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methyl sulfates, or ethyl sulfates. Examples are stearyltrimethyl ammonium chloride and benzyl-bis (2-chloroethyl) ethyl ammonium bromide. Suitable anionic surfactants can be water soluble soaps, as well as synthetic water soluble surface activity compounds. Suitable soaps are alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, and unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (10 to 22 carbon atoms), for example, the sodium or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural fatty acid mixtures obtainable, for example, from coconut oil or tallow oil. Other suitable soaps are also the fatty acid methyl taurine salts. However, synthetic surfactants, preferably fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives, or alkylaryl sulfonates, are more frequently used. The sulphonates or fatty sulfates are usually in the form of alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, or unsubstituted or substituted ammonium salts, and usually contain an alkyl radical of 8 to 22 carbon atoms, which also includes the alkyl of the acyl radicals. Typical examples are the sodium or calcium salt of lignin sulphonic 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 sulphonated fatty alcohol / ethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives preferably contain two sulfonic acid groups and a fatty acid radical containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Typical examples of the alkylaryl sulfonates are the sodium, calcium, or trietanolic ammonium salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid, or of a condensate of naphthalenesulfonic acid and formaldehyde. Also suitable are the corresponding phosphates, for example, the salts of the phosphoric acid ester of a p-nonylphenol adduct with 4 to 14 moles of ethylene oxide, or the phospholipids. The compositions will normally comprise from 0.1 to 99 percent, preferably from 0.1 to 95 percent of a combination of the compound of the formula (A), and one or more of a pesticide (B), and from 1 to 99.9 percent, preferably from 5 to 99.9 percent At least one percent of at least one solid or liquid auxiliary will normally contain from 0 to 25 percent, preferably from 0.1 to 20 percent of surfactants (in each case, the percentages are by weight). Although preferred commercial products will be formulated as concentrates, the end user will usually employ diluted formulations having a substantially lower concentration of active ingredient. Particularly preferred formulations will be formed as follows: (everywhere, the percentages are by weight): Concentrates Emulsifiable combination of (A) and (B): from 1 to 95%, preferably from 5 to 20%. surfactant: from 1 to 30%, preferably from 10 to 20%. solvent: from 5 to 98%, preferably from 70 to 85%.

Granules: combination of (A) and (B) from 0.5 to 30%, preferably from 3 to 15%. solid vehicle: from 99.5 to 70%, preferably from 97 to 75%.

The novel compositions may also contain other solid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabilizers, for example, vegetable oils, or epoxidized vegetable oils. (for example, coconut oil, rape seed oil, or epoxidized soy bean oil), defoamers, for example, silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and / or viscosifiers, as well as fertilizers or other agents chemicals to obtain special effects, typically including bactericides, fungicides, nematicides, molluscicides, or herbicides. The compositions of this invention are prepared in a known manner, in the absence of the auxiliaries, typically by grinding, sifting, and / or compressing a solid active ingredient or a mixture of active ingredients, for example, up to a specific particle size.; and in the presence of at least one auxiliary, for example, by intimate mixing and / or milling of the active ingredient or mixture of active ingredients with the auxiliary or auxiliaries. The invention also relates to the preparation of the compositions. The methods for applying the compositions, that is, the methods for controlling pests of the indicated type, typically spraying, atomizing, dusting, coating, coating, dispersing, or pouring, are selected in accordance with the intended objectives and prevailing circumstances, and the Use of the compositions for controlling pests of the indicated type are other objects of the invention. Typical concentration rates are in the range of 0.1 to 1,000 ppm, preferably 0.1 to 500 ppm of active ingredient. The rate of application can vary over a wide range, and will depend on the nature of the soil, the type of application (foliar application, seed coating, application to the seed furrow), the cultivated plant, the pest that is going to control, of the prevailing climatic conditions, and of other factors regulated by the type of application, the time of application, and the objective crop. Application rates per hectare will normally be from 1 to 2,000 grams per hectare, more particularly from 10 to 1,000 grams per hectare, preferably from 20 to 600 grams per hectare. A preferred method of application in the field of plant protection, is the application to foliage of plants (foliar application), depending on the number of applications and the rate of application of the risk of infestation by the particular pest. However, the active ingredients can also penetrate the plants through the roots (systemic action), by soaking the place of the plants with a liquid formulation, or by applying the active ingredient in a solid form to the place of the plants , for example, to the earth, for example, in granular form (application to the earth). In flooded rice crops, these granules can be applied to the flooded rice field. The compositions of the invention are also suitable for protecting plant propagation material, for example, seeds, such as fruit, tubers, or grains, or plant cuttings, against animal pests. The propagation material can be treated with the formulation before planting. For example, the seeds can be coated before being planted. The compounds of the invention can also be applied to grains (coating), either by impregnating the grains with a liquid formulation, or by coating them with a solid formulation. The composition can also be applied to the plantation site, when the propagation material is planted, for example, to the seed furrow during planting. The invention also relates to these methods for the treatment of plant propagation material, and to the propagation material of the plants thus treated. The invention is illustrated by the following non-limiting examples.

Formulation examples (% = percent by weight, proportions = proportions by weight) Example Fl: Emulsifiable concentrate Emulsions of any desired concentration can be prepared from these concentrates by dilution with water.

Example F2: Solutions The solutions are suitable for use in the form of microdroplets, Example F3: Granules The active ingredients are dissolved in dichloromethane, the solution is sprayed onto the vehicle, and the solvent is subsequently evaporated in vacuo.

TS! J «ampl p F4: PolVQS SeCOS Dry powders ready for use are obtained by intimately mixing the vehicles with the active ingredients.

Example F5: Wettable Powders The active ingredients are mixed with the additives, and the mixture is completely milled in a suitable mill. This gives wettable powders that can be diluted with water to give suspensions of any desired concentration.

Example F6: Emulsifiable concentrate Emulsions of any desired concentration can be prepared from this concentrate by dilution with water.

Example F7: Dry Powders Dry powders ready for use are obtained by mixing the active ingredients with the vehicle, and grinding the mixture in a suitable mill.

Example F8: Extruder Granules The active ingredients are mixed with the additives, and the mixture is milled and moistened with water. This mixture is extruded, granulated, and subsequently dried in a stream of air.

Example F9: Coated Granules In a mixer, the finely ground active ingredients are uniformly applied to the polyethylene glycol, which has been moistened with kaolin, to give powder-free coated granules.

Example FIO: Concentrate in Suspension The finely ground active ingredients are intimately mixed with the additives, to give a suspension concentrate from which suspensions of any desired concentration can be prepared by dilution with water. It is often more convenient to formulate the compound of the formula (A), and one of the pesticides (B) individually, and then mix them in the desired ratio in the applicator as a tank-in-water mixture shortly before application.

Biological Examples (% = percent by weight, unless otherwise indicated) A synergistic effect is always obtained, when the activity of the compound of the formula (A) with one of the pesticides (B) is greater than the sum of the activities of the individually applied compounds For example, the expected pesticidal activity We of a given combination of two pesticides, can be calculated as follows (qv COLBY, SR, "Calculating synergistic and antagonistic response of herbicide combinations",, Weeds 15, pages 20-22, 1967): Y • (100-X) We = X + 100 where: X = percentage of mortality, compared to untreated controls, after treatment with the compound of formula (A) at an application rate of p kg per hectare (= 0 percent). Y = percentage of mortality, compared to untreated controls, after treatment with a compound (B) at an application rate of q kilograms per hectare. We = the expected pesticidal activity (percentage of mortality compared to untreated controls) after treatment with the compound of the formula (A) and a compound (B) at an application rate of p + q kilograms of active ingredient per hectare .

If the actually observed value is lower than the expected We value, then there is synergism. The synergistic effect of the combinations of the compound of the formula (A) with one or more of the pesticides (B) is demonstrated in the following examples.

Example Bl: Action against Bemisia tabaci Bean plants are placed in gauze cages, and are populated with adults of Bemisia tabaci. After oviposition, all adults are removed, and 10 days later the plants with the nymphs present thereon are treated with an aqueous suspension of a spray mixture containing the active ingredient in a concentration of 50 ppm. The evaluation of the shell breakage index (in%) compared to the untreated controls is done after another 14 days. In this test, combinations of the compound of the formula (A) with one or more of the pesticides (B) have a synergistic effect.

Example B2: Action against caterpillars Spodoptera littoralis Young bean plants are sprayed with an aqueous emulsion of a spray formulation containing 400 ppm of active ingredient. After the spray coating has dried, the soybean plants are populated with 10 caterpillars of Spodoptera littoralis in the third stage, and placed in a plastic container. The evaluation is made three days later. The percentage of reduction of the population and the percentage of reduction in the damage by feeding (percentage of annihilation) is determined by comparing the number of dead caterpillars and the damage by feeding on the treated plants, with those of the untreated plants. In this test, the combinations of the compound of the formula (A) with one or more of the pesticides (B) have a synergistic effect. p «am io B3: Ovicidal action against Lobesia botrana The eggs of« Lobesia botrana placed on filter paper are immersed for a short time in an aqueous acetone solution containing 400 ppm of the test pesticide combination. After the test solution has dried, the eggs are incubated in petri dishes. The percentage of shell breakage of the eggs, compared to the untreated controls, is evaluated 6 days later (percentage of eggshell reduction). In this test, combinations of the compound of the formula (A) with one or more of the pesticides (B) have a synergistic effect.

Example B4: Ovicidal action against Heliothis virescens The eggs of Heliothis virescens placed on filter paper are immersed for a short time in an aqueous acetone solution containing 400 ppm of the test pesticide combination. After the test solution has dried, the eggs are incubated in petri dishes. The percentage of shell breakage of the eggs, compared to the untreated controls, is evaluated 6 days later (percentage of eggshell reduction). In this test, the combinations of the compound of the formula (A) with one or more of the pesticides (B) have a synergistic effect.
