Description
S OF PEST CONTROL IN SOYBEAN
The present invention and the invention ofNZ 626702, which was divided from the present
application, relate to methods of pest control in n crops.
Stink bugs (Hemzptera Pentatomidae) are true bugs which can be significant pests when
present in large numbers. The nymphs and adults have piercing mouthparts which most use to suck
sap from plants. According to Stewart et al., Soybean Insects — Stink bugs, University of Tennessee
Institute of Agriculture, W200 09-0098, stink bugs are ly the most common pest problem in
soybean. Although they may feed on many parts of the plant, they typically target developing seed
including the pods, meaning that injury to soybean seed is the primary problem associated with stink
bug infestations.
Of the complex of sucking bugs that occur in cultivation, the brown stinkbug Euschistus heros
is currently ered to be the most abundant species in northern Parana to Central Brazil (Corréa-
ra & Panizzi, 1999), and is a significant problem in soybean (Schmidt et al., 2003). The bugs
occur in soybeans from the vegetative stage and are harmful from the beginning ofpod formation until
grain ty. They cause damage to the seed (Galileo & Heinrichs 1978a, i & Slansky Jr.,
1985) and can also open the way to fungal diseases and cause physiological disorders, such as soybean
leaf retention (Galileo & Heinrichs 1978, Todd & Herzog, 1980).
l of stinkbugs in soybean is often vital to prevent significant economic damage.
Insecticides commonly used to control stinkbugs include pyrethroids, neonicotinoids and
organophosphates, although pyrethroid insecticides are usually the method of choice for controlling
stink bugs in soybean, However, there are increasing problems with insecticide resistance, particularly
in brown stink bug populations and particularly to roids. ’stus heros (F.)) can also be
difficult to manage using organophosphates or endosulfan (Sosa-Gomez et al., 2009). There is
therefore a need for effective alternative methods of controlling stinkbugs in soybean.
Compounds that are insecticidally, acaricidally, nematicidally and/or icidally active by
antagnonism of the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel, and which comprise a
partially saturated heterocycle that is substituted by a haloalkyl substituent and one or two optionally
substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic rings, represent a new class of pesticides that are described for
example in Ozoe et al. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 391 (2010) 744-749.
nds from this class are broadly described in WO 85216 (EP1731512), WO
2007/123853, , W02009/002809, WO 19760, , WO

It has now surprisingly been found that particular insecticides from this new class of gamma-
utyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel antagonists (disclosed in e.g.
(EPl731512), /002809 and WO2009/080250) are highly effective at controlling stinkbugs,
and in some cases provide greater control than the current market standard. It has also surprisingly
been found that these compounds t significantly higher activity against stinkbugs than
structurally similar nds. These compounds ore represent an important new on for
safeguarding soybean crops from stinkbugs, particularly where stink bugs are resistant to current

Generally the compounds of formula I** are more biologically active than the tive
compounds of formula 1*. The invention includes mixtures of compounds 1* and I** in any ratio e. g.
in a molar ratio of 1:99 to 99: 1, e.g. 10:1 to 1:10, e.g. a substantially 50:50 molar ratio. In an
enantiomerically (or epimerically) enriched mixture of formula I**, the molar proportion of compound
I** compared to the total amount of both enantiomers is for e greater than 50%, e.g. at least 55,
60, 65 , 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 96, 97, 98, or at least 99%. Enantiomerically (or epimerically) enriched
mixtures of a I** are preferred.
A preferred nd of the invention is a compound of formula Ix**
(IX**)
The compounds of the invention can be made according to the methods described in the patent
applications listed above. Additional methods can be found in .
Reference to compounds of the invention also includes reference to salts and N-oxides.
The methods and uses of the invention are ably for controlling and/or preventing
infestation of the soybean crop by stink bugs, including stink bugs that are resistant to other
insecticides, e.g. pyrethroid insecticides. Stinkbugs that are "resistant" to a particular insecticide refers
e.g. to strains of stinkbugs that are less ive to that insecticide compared to the expected
ivity of the same species of stinkbug. The expected sensitivity can be measured using 6. g. a
strain that has not previously been exposed to the insecticide.
Application is of the nds of the invention is to a crop of soybean plants, the locus
thereof or propagation material thereof. Preferably ation is to a crop of soybean plants or the
locus thereof, more preferably to a crop of soybean . Application may be before ation or
when the pest is t. Application of the nds of the invention can be performed according
to any of the usual modes of application, e. g. foliar, drench, soil, in furrow etc. However, control of
stinkbugs is usually achieved by foliar application, which is the red mode of ation
according to the invention.
The compounds of the ion may be applied in ation with an attractant. An
attractant is a chemical that causes the insect to migrate s the location of application. For
control of stinkbugs it can be advantageous to apply the compounds of the invention with an attractant,
particularly when the application is foliar. Stinkbugs are often located near to the ground, and
application of an attractant may encourage migration up the plant towards the active ingredient.
Suitable attractants e glucose, sacchrose, salt, glutamate (e.g. Aji—no-motoTM), citric acid (e.g.
Orobor TM), soybean oil, peanut oil and soybean milk. Glutamate and citric acid are of particular
interest, with citric acid being preferred.
An attractant may be ed with the compound of the invention prior to ation, e. g. as
a ix or tankmix, or by simultaneous application or sequential application to the plant. Suitable
rates of attractants are for example 0.02kg/ha-3kg/ha.
The compounds of the invention are preferably used for pest control on soybean at 1:500 g/ha,
preferably lO-70g/ha.
The compounds of the invention are suitable for use on any soybean plant, including those that
have been genetically d to be resistant to active ingredients such as herbicides, or to produce
biologically active compounds that control infestation by plant pests.
The compounds of the invention are preferably used for pest control on soybean at 1:500 g/ha,
preferably lO-70g/ha.
The compounds of the invention are suitable for use on any soybean plant, including those that
have been genetically modified to be resistant to active ingredients such as herbicides, or to e
biologically active compounds that control infestation by plant pests.
In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic
engineering methods, if appropriate in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified
Organisms), and parts thereof, are treated. ularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which
are in each case commercially ble or in use are treated according to the invention. Plant cultivars
are understood as meaning plants having novel properties ("traits") which have been obtained by
conventional breeding, by mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques.
These can be cultivars, bio- or genotypes. Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars,
their location and growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to
the invention may also result in superadditive "synergistic") effects.
Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or
an increase in the activity of the substances and compositions which can be used according to the
invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to
drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting,
accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the
harvested ts, better storage stability and/0r processability of the harvested products are possible,
which exceed the s which were actually to be ed.
The preferred transgenic plants or plant cultivars (obtained by genetic engineering) which are
to be treated according to the invention include all plants which, by virtue of the genetic modification,
received genetic material which imparts particularly advantageous, useful traits to these plants.
Examples of such traits are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures,
increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier
harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, higher quality and/or a higher nutritional
value of the harvested ts, better storage stability and/or processability of the harvested ts.
Further and particularly emphasized examples of such traits are a better defence of the plants
against animal and ial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria
and/or Viruses, and also sed tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds.
Traits that are emphasized in particular are the increased defence of the plants against insects,
ids, nematodes and slugs and snails by virtue of toxins formed in the plants, in particular those
formed in the plants by the c material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes
CrylA(a), CrylA(b), CrylA(c), , CrylllA, CrleIBZ, Cry9c, CryZAb, Cry3Bb and CrylF and also
combinations f) (referred to herein as "Bt plants"). Traits that are also particularly emphasized
are the increased defence of the plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired
resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexins, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly
expressed ns and toxins.
Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants to
n herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or
phosphinotricin (for example the "PAT" gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in on
can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants.
Examples of "Bt plants" are soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD
es of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are soya bean varieties which
are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready(®) (tolerance to glyphosate), y )
ance to phosphinotricin), IMI(®) (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS(®) (tolerance to
sulphonylureas).
Herbicide—resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which
may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield(®) (for example maize).
Of particular interest are soybean plants carrying trains conferring resistance to 2.4D (e.g.
Enlist®), glyphosate (e.g. Roundup Ready®, Roundup Ready 2 Yield®), sulfonylurea (e.g. STS®),
glufosinate (e.g. Liberty Link®, Ignite®), Dicamba (Monsanto) HPPD tolerance (e.g. utole
herbicide) (Bayer ience, Syngenta). Double or triple stack in soybean plants of any of the traits
described here are also of interest, including glyphosate and sulfonyl-urea tolerance (e.g. Optimum
GAT®, plants stacked with STS® and Roundup Ready® or Roundup Ready 2 Yield®), dicamba and
glyphosate tolerance (Monsanto). Soybean Cyst Nematode ance soybean (SCN® - Syngenta) and
soybean with Aphid resistant trait (AMT® - Syngneta) are also of interest.
These statements also apply to plant cultivars having these c traits or genetic traits still
to be developed, which plant cultivars will be developed and/or marketed in the future.
The compounds of the invention may be used on soybean to control, for example,
Elasmopalpus lignosellus, Diloboderus s, Diabrotica speciosa, Sternechus subsignatus,

, Acrostemum Spp, Euchistus heros. The
compounds ofthe invention are particularly ive against Euschistus and in ular Euchistus
heros. Euschistus and in particular Euchistus heros are the preferred s.
In order to apply a compounds of the invention as an insecticide, acaricide, nematicide or
molluscicide to a pest, a locus of pest, or to a plant tible to attack by a pest, compounds of the
invention is usually formulated into a composition which includes, in addition to the compound of the
invention, a suitable inert diluent or carrier and, optionally, a surface active agent (SFA). SFAs are
chemicals which are able to modify the properties of an interface (for e, liquid/solid, liquid/air
or liquid/liquid interfaces) by lowering the interfacial tension and thereby leading to changes in other
ties (for example dispersion, emulsification and wetting). It is preferred that all compositions
(both solid and liquid formulations) comprise, by weight, 0.0001 to 95%, more preferably 1 to 85%,
for example 5 to 60%, of a compound of the invention. The composition is generally used for the
control of pests such that a compound of the invention is applied at a rate of from 0.1 g tolOkg per
hectare, ably from 1 g to 6kg per hectare, more preferably from lg to 1kg per hectare.
When used in a seed dressing, a compound of the ion is used at a rate of 0.0001 g to 10g
(for example 0001 g or 0.05g), preferably 0.005g to 10g, more preferably 0.005g to 4g, per kilogram of
seed.
Compositions comprising a compound of the invention can be chosen from a number of

soluble concentrates (SL), oil miscible liquids (OL), ultra low volume liquids (UL), fiable
concentrates (EC), dispersible concentrates (DC), emulsions (both oil in water (EW) and water in oil
(EO)), micro-emulsions (ME), suspension trates (SC), aerosols, g/smoke formulations,
capsule suspensions (CS) and seed treatment formulations. The formulation type chosen in any
instance will depend upon the particular purpose envisaged and the physical, chemical and biological
properties of the compound of the invention.
Dustable powders (DP) may be prepared by mixing a compound of the invention with one or
more solid diluents (for example natural clays, kaolin, pyrophyllite, bentonite, alumina,
montmorillonite, kieselguhr, chalk, diatomaceous earths, calcium phosphates, calcium and magnesium
carbonates, sulfur, lime, flours, talc and other organic and inorganic solid rs) and mechanically
ng the mixture to a fine powder.
Soluble powders (SP) may be prepared by mixing a compound of the invention with one or
more water-soluble inorganic salts (such as sodium onate, sodium carbonate or magnesium
sulfate) or one or more water—soluble organic solids (such as a polysaccharide) and, optionally, one or
more wetting agents, one or more dispersing agents or a e of said agents to improve water
dispersibility/solubility. The mixture is then ground to a fine powder. Similar compositions may also
be granulated to form water soluble granules (SG).
Wettable powders (WP) may be prepared by mixing a compound of the invention with one or
more solid diluents or carriers, one or more g agents and, preferably, one or more dispersing
agents and, ally, one or more suspending agents to facilitate the dispersion in liquids. The
mixture is then ground to a fine powder. Similar itions may also be granulated to form water
dispersible granules (WG).
Granules (GR) may be formed either by granulating a e of a nd of the invention
and one or more powdered solid diluents or carriers, or from rmed blank granules by absorbing a
nd of the invention (or a solution thereof, in a suitable agent) in a porous granular material
(such as pumice, lgite clays, fuller’s earth, kieselguhr, diatomaceous earths or ground corn cobs)
or by adsorbing a compound of the invention (or a solution thereof, in a suitable agent) on to a hard
core al (such as sands, silicates, mineral carbonates, sulfates or phosphates) and drying if
necessary. Agents which are commonly used to aid absorption or adsorption e solvents (such as
aliphatic and aromatic eum solvents, alcohols, ethers, ketones and ) and sticking agents
(such as polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl alcohols, dextrins, sugars and vegetable oils). One or more other
additives may also be included in granules (for example an emulsifying agent, wetting agent or
dispersing agent).
Dispersible Concentrates (DC) may be prepared by dissolving a compound of the invention in
water or an organic solvent, such as a , alcohol or glycol ether. These solutions may contain a
surface active agent (for example to improve water dilution or prevent llization in a spray tank).
Emulsifiable concentrates (BC) or -water emulsions (EW) may be prepared by dissolving
a compound ofthe ion in an organic solvent (optionally containing one or more wetting agents,
one or more emulsifying agents or a mixture of said agents). le organic solvents for use in ECs
include aromatic hydrocarbons (such as alkylbenzenes or alkylnaphthalenes, exemplified by
SOLVESSO 100, SOLVESSO 150 and SOLVESSO 200; SO is a Registered Trade Mark),
ketones (such as cyclohexanone or methylcyclohexanone) and alcohols (such as benzyl alcohol,
furfuryl alcohol or butanol), N-alkylpyrrolidones (such as N—methylpyrrolidone or N—
yrrolidone), dimethyl amides of fatty acids (such as C8-C10 fatty acid dimethylamide) and
chlorinated hydrocarbons. An EC product may spontaneously emulsify on on to water, to
produce an emulsion with sufficient stability to allow spray application h appropriate
equipment. ation of an EW involves obtaining a compound of the invention either as a liquid (if
it is not a liquid at room temperature, it may be melted at a reasonable temperature, typically below
70°C) or in solution (by dissolving it in an appropriate solvent) and then emulsifiying the resultant
liquid or on into water containing one or more SFAs, under high shear, to produce an emulsion.
Suitable solvents for use in EWs include vegetable oils, chlorinated hydrocarbons (such as
chlorobenzenes), aromatic solvents (such as alkylbenzenes or alkylnaphthalenes) and other appropriate
organic solvents which have a low solubility in water.
Microemulsions (ME) may be prepared by mixing water with a blend of one or more solvents
with one or more SPAS, to produce spontaneously a thermodynamically stable isotropic liquid
formulation. A compound of the invention is present initially in either the water or the solvent/SFA
blend. Suitable ts for use in MES include those hereinbefore described for use in ECs or in EWs.
An ME may be either an oil-in-water or a water~in-oil system (which system is present may be
determined by conductivity measurements) and may be suitable for mixing water-soluble and oil-
soluble pesticides in the same formulation. An MB is suitable for on into water, either remaining
as a microemulsion or forming a conventional oil-in-water emulsion.
Suspension concentrates (SC) may se aqueous or non-aqueous sions of finely
divided insoluble solid particles of a compound of the invention. SCS may be prepared by ball or bead
milling the solid compound of the invention in a le medium, optionally with one or more
dispersing agents, to produce a fine particle suspension of the compound. One or more wetting agents

it may heless be possible to disperse each active ingredient in the same continuous aqueous
phase by dispersing the solid active ingredient as a suspension (using a preparation analogous to that
'of an SC) but dispersing the liquid active ingredient as an emulsion (using a preparation analogous to
that of an EW). The resultant composition is a suspoemulsion (SE) ation.
