Abstract

DC60 (03/09/44) described a method for controlling wood-destroying pests, consisting of the application to the pest or its environment with the active ingredient of a pesticide mixture containing, in the form of the active ingredient of the chemical compound (I, thiamethoxam) in its free form or in a chemically acceptable salt form, and at least one adjuvant; the consistent use of those compounds; pesticide mixtures in which the active ingredient is selected from those compounds; the process for preparing such mixtures; the use of such mixtures; and plant propagation materials that protect against pest infestation. In agricultural chemistry, and at least one adjuvant; the consistent use of such compounds; pesticide mixtures in which the active ingredient is selected from those compounds; the processes for preparing such mixtures; the use of such mixtures; and plant propagation materials that protect against pest infestation.

Claims (9)

Revised 06/07/58 1. Methods of termite control, which involve the application of an active, lethal dose of a pesticide to termites or their habitats, containing thiamethoxam as the active ingredient, in its free form or in a form of chemically acceptable salts, and at least one adjuvant. 2. Methods under claim 1 where thiamethoxam in its free form is used as the active ingredient. 3. Methods for protecting wood from wood-destroying pest attacks, which involve the application of an active, lethal dose of a pesticide to the protected wood or to the habitat of such wood-destroying pest, containing thiamethoxam as the active ingredient, in its free form or in a form of chemically acceptable salts, and at least one adjuvant. 1. Methods of controlling wood-destroying pests, which consist of applying to the pests or their environment with an active ingredient of a pesticide mixture containing, at least, thiamethoxam, as the active ingredient, in its free form or in an agrochemically acceptable salt form, and at least one adjuvant. 2. Method according to claim 1, where thiamethoxam in its free form is used as the active ingredient. 3. A method under one of the claims in 1 or 2, whereby termites are controlled. 4. Methods for protecting wood from wood-destroying pests, consisting of the application to the wood to be protected or to the habitat of such wood-destroying pests, of an active ingredient in a pesticide mixture containing at least thiamethoxam as the active ingredient, in its free form or in an agronomically acceptable salt form, and at least one adjuvant. 5. A mixture for controlling wood-destroying pests, containing thiamethoxam as the active pesticide and at least one adjuvant. 6. The process for preparing the mixture consists of at least one adjuvant, as described in Claim 4, in which the active ingredient is thoroughly mixed with the adjuvant. 7. The use of compounds as per claim 4 to control wood-destroying pests. 8. The use of thiamethoxam as described in Claim 1, whereby it shall be used to control wood-destroying pests. 9. The methods under any one of the claims in 1 or 3 for the protection of propagation material, which include the cultivation of propagation material or the site of cultivation of propagation material.
