Abstract

Described herein are agricultural methods for controlling pests on and/or increasing the plant health of a cultivated plant, with at least one modification, using a pesticidal carboxamide compound or a mixtures thereof. In particular, methods of controlling harmful insects, which are resistant to an insecticidal trait of the plant, are provided. In addition, the use of a pesticidal carboxamide compound or mixtures thereof for protecting a plant, plant propagation material, seeds or the locus of growth, against the attack or infestation by pests, wherein the plant has been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, and for controlling pests that are resistant to an insecticidal trait of the plant are described.

Description

In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a method for controlling pests on and/or increasing the plant health of a cultivated plant with at least one modification (hereinafter abbreviated as “cultivated plant”) as compared to a respective non-modified control plant.
The method comprises the application of a pesticidal carboxamide compound (alone or in the form of a mixture comprising such pesticidal carboxamide compound) to a cultivated plant, parts of such plant, plant propagation material, or at its locus of growth.
In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a method for controlling pests and/or increasing the plant health of a cultivated plant with at least one modification as compared to the respective non-modified control plant, comprising the application of an pesticidal carboxamide compound (again, alone or in the form a mixture comprising such pesticidal carboxamide compound) to a cultivated plant, parts of such plant, plant propagation material, or at its locus of growth, wherein said cultivated plant is selected from a group of certain plants with specific modifications as defined further below.
The methods of the invention relating to cultivated plants are particularly suitable for efficiently controlling arthropodal pests such as arachnids, myriapedes and insects as well as nematodes on cultivated plants. Preferably, the term pests embrace animal pests (such as insects, acarids or nematodes). Relevant animal pests of different genera and species are provided further below.
In another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a pesticidal carboxamide compound alone or in the form of a pesticidal mixture comprising such pesticidal carboxamide compound for protecting a cultivated plant, modified plant propagation material, or its locus of growth, against the attack or infestation by pests.
In still another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of a pesticidal carboxamide compound in pesticidally effective amounts for protecting cultivated plants from row crops such as cotton, corn or soybean plants, the plant propagation material thereof or their locus of growth.
In still another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for controlling pests, which method comprises the application of a pesticidally effective amount of an pesticidal carboxamide compound to a row crop plant (such as corn, cotton or soybean plant), the plant propagation material thereof or at its locus of growth, also on the pests or their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds.
In still another aspect, the present invention relates to the method of application or the use of a pesticidal carboxamide compound in pesticidally effective amounts for protecting cultivated plants from row crops such as cotton, corn or soybean plants, the plant propagation material thereof or their locus of growth from the infestions by pests, wherein the pests are selected from the orders of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera or Thysanoptera, and combinations thereof.
In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to the use of an pesticidal carboxamide compound in pesticidally effective amounts for protecting a soybean plant, the plant propagation material thereof, or its locus of growth, against the attack or infestation by pests selected from the group consisting of Anticarsia gemmatalis, Chlysodeixis includens (=Pseudoplusia includens), Spodoptera cosmioides, Spodoptera eridania, Spodoptera frugiperda, and combinations thereof.
In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for controlling pests, which method comprises the application of a pesticidally effective amount of an pesticidal carboxamide compound to a soybean plant, the plant propagation material thereof or its locus of growth; the pests or their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds, wherein the pests are selected from the group consisting of Anticarsia gemmatalis, Chrysodeixis includens (=Pseudoplusia includens), Spodoptera cosmioides, Spodoptera eridania, Spodoptera frugiperda, and combinations thereof.
Pests, in particular insects from the order of Lepidoptera, destroy growing and harvested crops and attack wooden dwelling and commercial structures, thereby causing large economic loss to the food supply and to property. A particular important threat in connection with Lepidoptera, particular leaf eating caterpillars, is defoliation of the plants, which typically results in a decrease of the yield. In connection with soybean, it has e.g. been found that, when the pods begin to form and fill out, any foliage loss greater than 20% will decrease the yield (G. Andrews et al., Insect control guides for cotton, soybeans, corn, grain sorghum, wheat, sweet potatoes and pastures, Mississippi State University Extension Service, Publication 2471, 64 pp. (2009)).
It is known in the art that row crops, such as wheat, maize, rice, soybean, and cotton, in particular soybean, are particularly vulnerable in terms of the attack or infestation by Lepidoptera selected from the group consisting of Anticarsia (=Thermesia) spp., Chrysodeixis (=Pseudoplusia) spp., Helicoverpa spp., and Spodoptera (=Lamphygma) spp. The most important species include Anticarsia gemmatalis, Chlysodeixis includens (=Pseudoplusia includens), Helicoverpa armigera (=Heliothis armigera), Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera eridania, and Spodoptera cosmioides.
The relevance of Anticarsia gemmatalis, Pseudoplusia includens, Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera eridania, and Spodoptera cosmioides for defoliation of soybean genotypes is analyzed by R. C. O. de Freitas Bueno et al. in Pest Manag. Sci. 2011; 67: 170-174. It is said therein that Anticarsia gemmatalis was originally the most important defoliator insect occurring on soybean crops, but that nowadays Pseudoplusia includens, Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera eridania, and Spodoptera cosmioides are also considered to be key pests by Brazilian soybean growers.
In recent years, there were also numerous reports in the media regarding the growing threat of Helicoverpa armigera to Brazilian cotton, corn and soybean crops.
According to O. Bernardi et al. (Crop Protection 2014; 58: 33-40), it has been observed that Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera eridania, and Spodoptera cosmioides have caused significant damage on soybean in Brazil. It has been found that these Spodoptera species also have a low susceptibility to genetically modified soybeans expressing cry1Ac protein. It is concluded that the cry1Ac expressing soybeans show poor control of these Spodoptera species, and that, consequently, other control tactics must be used in combination with MON 87701 x MON 89788 soybean in the field for the efficient management of these Spodoptera species.
Similar problems are to be expected in connection with genetically modified soybeans expressing cry1F or a combination of cry1F and cry1Ac (e.g. DAS 81419) for the reason that cry1F in many species interacts with the known receptor for cry1Ac indicating a similar insecticidal activity, which may contribute to cross-resistance to both toxins (Center for Environmental Risk Assessment, ILSI Research Foundation, Washington D.C., USA, 2013: “A Review of the Environmental Safety of the Cry1F Protein”).
Accordingly, there is an acute need for pesticides and pesticidal mixtures for controlling the above mentioned pests on the above mentioned row crops, including plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, and plants, which have not been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering. In particular, there is a need for pesticides and pesticidal mixtures for controlling the above mentioned pests on row crops, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, in particular on soybean plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pesticidal mixture, which is suitable for controlling pests, in particular from the orders of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera or Thysanoptera, preferably Lepidoptera and more preferably any one of the above mentioned Lepidoptera genera and species, or combinations thereof, which are of particular relevance in connection with wheat, maize, rice, soybean, and cotton plants. And in particular in connection with soybean plants, especially in connection with soybean plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, e.g. insect resistant soybeans expressing cry1Ac, cry1F, or a combination thereof.
In this connection, it is also an object of the invention to provide a pesticidal compound or a pesticidal mixture, which overcome insect resistance problems in connection with the herein mentioned pests. As used herein, the term “insect resistance” refers to insect resistance against other pesticides and pesticidal mixtures or insect resistance against an insecticidal trait of a plant.
Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a pesticidal mixture, which can be applied in lower dosage rates compared to other pesticides and pesticidal mixtures in order to avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects.
With regard to the pests Anticarsia gemmatalis, Chlysodeixis includens (=Pseudoplusia includens), Helicoverpa armigera (=Heliothis armigera), Spodoptera cosmioides, Spodoptera eridania, and Spodoptera frugiperda, which are typically present on soybeans, it is another object of the present invention to provide pesticides, which are suitable for selective pest control, if infestation with one or more of these pests occurs.
The above objects may be achieved by a pesticidal active carboxamide compound, and the uses and methods comprising the application of said compound as defined hereinafter.
It has surprisingly been found that the pesticidal mixture according to the invention is suitable for controlling the above mentioned pests, in particular Anticarsia (=Thermesia) spp., Chrysodeixis (=Pseudoplusia) spp., Helicoverpa spp., and Spodoptera (=Lamphygma) spp., especially Anticarsia gemmatalis, Chlysodeixis includens (=Pseudoplusia includens), Helicoverpa armigera (=Heliothis armigera), Spodoptera frugiperda, Spodoptera eridania, and Spodoptera cosmioides. Accordingly, plants selected from wheat, maize, rice, soybean, and cotton plants, in particular soybean plants may effectively be protected against defoliation by these pests, and a decrease of the yields can thus be prevented. In this connection, it is an important advantage of the method according to the present invention that the method is also suitable for controlling the above mentioned pests, if they have become resistant against conventional pesticides or pesticidal mixtures, or against the insecticidal trait of a plant.
Furthermore, it has been found that the development of a resistance against the insecticidal trait of a plant can be prevented, if the plants are treated with the pesticidal carboxamide compound of the invention. Moreover, the method according to the invention is suitable for controlling pests, against which the insecticidal trait of a plant is not effective, so that a complementary insecticidal activity can advantageously be used.
It is another advantage of the pesticidal method according to the present invention that the carboxamide compound and its mixtures can be applied in lower dosage rates compared to other pesticides and pesticidal mixtures.
Furthermore, there are special interests in connection with cultivated plants with at least one modification.
It has been observed that cultivated plants with at least one modification, for example a modification providing herbicide tolerance, are more susceptible to attack or infestation by pests than plants, which have not been modified.
Furthermore, it has been observed that cultivated plants with a modification, which provides insect resistance, can be particularly susceptible to certain pests against which the produced toxin is not effective. Moreover, the pests can develop resistance against the toxin, which is produced by the plant.
Accordingly, there is a need for pesticides and pesticidal mixtures for controlling pests on cultivated plants with at least one or even more modifications.
In this connection, it is also an object of the invention to provide a pesticide or pesticidal mixture, which is suitable for controlling pests, which are resistant to the insecticidal trait of the cultivated plant. It is another object of the invention to provide a pesticide or pesticidal mixture, which prevents pests to become resistant to the insecticidal trait of the cultivated plant.
Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a pesticide or pesticidal mixture, which can be applied in lower dosage rates compared to other pesticides and pesticidal mixtures in order to avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects.
It is yet another object of the invention to provide a pesticide or pesticidal mixture, which improves the health of a plant, a process which is commonly and hereinafter referred to as “plant health”. The term plant health comprises various sorts of improvements of plants that are not connected to the control of pests and which do not embrace the reduction of negative consequences of harmful insects. The term “plant health” is to be understood to denote a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several indicators alone or in combination with each other such as yield (e.g. increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), plant vigor (e.g. improved plant growth and/or greener leaves (“greening effect”), quality (e.g. improved content or composition of certain ingredients) and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress. The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or may result from each other.
It has been found that the above objects can be achieved by methods applying or the use of a pesticidal active carboxamide compound I selected from
i) compound i) of formula (I)
ii) compound ii) of formula (Ia)
iii) mixtures comprising the carboxamide compounds i) and ii),

- or the tautomers, enantiomers, diastereomers or salts thereof,
- alone or in mixtures comprising such pesticidal active carboxamide compound.

Preferred methods and uses according to of this invention comprise compound i) of formula (I) as pesticidal active carboxamide compound I. Preferred embodiments of this invention are the methods or the use of the pesticidal active carboxamide compound i) of formula (I) or the tautomers, enantiomers, diastereomers or salts thereof, alone or in mixtures comprising such pesticidal active carboxamide compound.
Other embodiments of this invention are the methods or the use of the pesticidal active carboxamide compound ii) of formula (Ia) or the tautomers, enantiomers, diastereomers or salts thereof, alone or in mixtures comprising such pesticidal active carboxamide compound.
Still other embodiments of this invention are the methods or the use of pesticidal active mixtures comprising the carboxamide compounds i) of formula (I) and ii) of formula (Ia) or the tautomers, enantiomers, diastereomers or salts thereof, alone or in mixtures comprising such pesticidal active carboxamide compound mixtures.
Unless explicitly said otherwise, the terms “compound i) of formula (I)”, “compound (ii) of formula (la), or “mixture comprising the carboxamide compounds (i) and (ii)” also include the respective salts, tautomers, stereoisomers, and N-oxides of the carboxamide compounds.
In case of certain cultivated plants, the above objects may be achieved by the use or application of the pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) alone. The application of the pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) as only one active agent can be advantageous in terms of practicability and also in connection with insect resistance management.
It has furthermore been found that the above objects can be achieved by a pesticidal mixture comprising the pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) and another pesticidal active ingredient, whereas the uses and methods comprising the application of said mixture as defined hereinafter.
In case that the pesticidal effectiveness of the pesticidal mixture of the invention as well as of the pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) alone can be enhanced by the insecticidal trait of the plant, this may be considered as a synergistic effect.
The application of a mixture comprising pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), including the simultaneous, that is joint or separate, application of pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) and the other pesticidal active ingredient or their successive application on cultivated plants may allow enhanced control of animal pests, compared to the control rates that are possible by application on non-cultivated plants.
For certain plants with specific modifications as described herein after, the use of the pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), alone may also display a synergistic effect between the trait of the cultivated plant and the applied pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I). For these plants with specific modifications, also the mixture comprising pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), and another pesticidal active compound may advantageously be used.
As mentioned above, the pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), or a mixture comprising such pesticidal active carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), may be useful in methods of controlling harmful insects by treating cultivated plants, parts of such plants or their locus of growth, wherein the plant has at least one insecticidal trait, and wherein the harmful insects are resistant to an insecticidal trait of the plant.

The compounds I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), are effective through both contact and ingestion. Furthermore, the compounds I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), can be applied to any and all developmental stages, such as egg, larva, pupa, and adult.
The compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), can be applied as such or in form of compositions comprising them as defined above. Furthermore, the compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), can be applied together with a mixing partner as defined above or in form of compositions comprising said mixtures as defined above. The components of said mixture can be applied simultaneously, jointly or separately, or in succession, that is immediately one after another and thereby creating the mixture “in situ” on the desired location, e.g. the plant, the sequence, in the case of separate application, generally not having any effect on the result of the control measures.
The application can be carried out both before and after the infestation of the crops, plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, or the area, material or environment by the pests.
Suitable application methods include inter alia soil treatment, seed treatment, in furrow application, and foliar application. Soil treatment methods include drenching the soil, drip irrigation (drip application onto the soil), dipping roots, tubers or bulbs, or soil injection. Seed treatment techniques include seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking, and seed pelleting. In furrow applications typically include the steps of making a furrow in cultivated land, seeding the furrow with seeds, applying the pesticidally active compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), to the furrow, and closing the furrow. Foliar application refers to the application of the pesticidally active compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), to plant foliage, e.g. through spray equipment. For foliar applications, it can be advantageous to modify the behavior of the pests by use of pheromones in combination with the compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I). Suitable pheromones for specific crops and pests are known to a skilled person and publicly available from databases of pheromones and semiochemicals, such as http://www.pherobase.com.
As used herein, the term “contacting” includes both direct contact (applying the compounds/mixtures/compositions directly on the animal pest or plant—typically to the foliage, stem or roots of the plant) and indirect contact (applying the compounds/mixtures/compositions to the locus, i.e. habitat, breeding ground, plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which a pest is growing or may grow, of the animal pest or plant).
The term “animal pest” includes arthropods, gastropods, and nematodes. Preferred animal pests according to the invention are arthropods, preferably insects and arachnids, in particular insects. Insects, which are of particular relevance for crops, are typically referred to as crop insect pests.
The term “crop” refers to both, growing and harvested crops.
The term “plant” includes cereals, e.g. durum and other wheat, rye, barley, triticale, oats, rice, or maize (fodder maize and sugar maize/sweet and field corn); beet, e.g. sugar beet or fodder beet; fruits, such as pomes, stone fruits or soft fruits, e.g. apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, almonds, cherries, papayas, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries or gooseberries; leguminous plants, such as beans, lentils, peas, alfalfa or soybeans; oil plants, such as rapeseed (oilseed rape), turnip rape, mustard, olives, sunflowers, coconut, cocoa beans, castor oil plants, oil palms, ground nuts or soybeans; cucurbits, such as squashes, pumpkins, cucumber or melons; fiber plants, such as cotton, flax, hemp or jute; citrus fruit, such as oranges, lemons, grapefruits or mandarins; vegetables, such as eggplant, spinach, lettuce (e.g. iceberg lettuce), chicory, cabbage, asparagus, cabbages, carrots, onions, garlic, leeks, tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits or sweet peppers; lauraceous plants, such as avocados, cinnamon or camphor; energy and raw material plants, such as corn, soybean, rapeseed, sugar cane or oil palm; tobacco; nuts, e.g. walnuts; pistachios; coffee; tea; bananas; vines (table grapes and grape juice grape vines); hop; sweet leaf (also called Stevia); natural rubber plants or ornamental and forestry plants, such as flowers (e.g. carnation, petunias, geranium/pelargoniums, pansies and impatiens), shrubs, broad-leaved trees (e.g. poplar) or evergreens, e.g. conifers; eucalyptus; turf; lawn; grass such as grass for animal feed or ornamental uses. Preferred plants include potatoes sugar beets, tobacco, wheat, rye, barley, oats, rice, corn, cotton, soybeans, rapeseed, legumes, sunflowers, coffee or sugar cane; fruits; vines; ornamentals; or vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, beans or squashes.
The term “plant” is to be understood as including wild type plants and plants, which have been modified by either conventional breeding, or mutagenesis or genetic engineering, or by a combination thereof.
Plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, and are of particular commercial importance, include alfalfa, rapeseed (e.g. oilseed rape), bean, carnation, chicory, cotton, eggplant, eucalyptus, flax, lentil, maize, melon, papaya, petunia, plum, poplar, potato, rice, soybean, squash, sugar beet, sugarcane, sunflower, sweet pepper, tobacco, tomato, and cereals (e.g. wheat), in particular maize, soybean, cotton, wheat, and rice. In plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, one or more genes have been mutagenized or integrated into the genetic material of the plant. The one or more mutagenized or integrated genes are preferably selected from pat, epsps, cry1Ab, bar, cry1Fa2, cry1Ac, cry34Ab1, cry35AB1, cry3A, cryF, cry1F, mcry3a, cry2Ab2, cry3Bb1, cry1A.105, dfr, barnase, vip3Aa20, barstar, als, bxn, bp40, asn1, and ppo5. The mutagenesis or integration of the one or more genes is performed in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such properties, also known as traits, include abiotic stress tolerance, altered growth/yield, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, modified product quality, and pollination control. Of these properties, herbicide tolerance, e.g. imidazolinone tolerance, glyphosate tolerance, or glufosinate tolerance, is of particular importance. Several plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by mutagenesis, for example Clearfield® oilseed rape being tolerant to imidazolinones, e.g. imazamox. Alternatively, genetic engineering methods have been used to render plants, such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and oil seed rape, tolerant to herbicides, such as glyphosate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate). Furthermore, insect resistance is of importance, in particular lepidopteran insect resistance and coleopteran insect resistance. Insect resistance is typically achieved by modifying plants by integrating cry and/or vip genes, which were isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), and code for the respective Bt toxins. Genetically modified plants with insect resistance are commercially available under trade names including WideStrike®, Bollgard®, Agrisure®, Herculex®, YieldGard®, Genuity®, and Intacta®. Plants may be modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering either in terms of one property (singular traits) or in terms of a combination of properties (stacked traits). Stacked traits, e.g. the combination of herbicide tolerance and insect resistance, are of increasing importance. In general, all relevant modified plants in connection with singular or stacked traits as well as detailed information as to the mutagenized or integrated genes and the respective events are available from websites of the organizations “International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-biotech Applications (ISAAA)” (http://www.isaaa.org/gmapprovaldatabase) and “Center for Environmental Risk Assessment (CERA)” (http://cera-grinc.org/GMCropDatabase).
The term “plant propagation material” refers to all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (e.g. potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants. Seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil, may also be included. These plant propagation materials may be treated prophylactically with a plant protection mixture either at or before planting or transplanting.
The term “seed” embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corms, bulbs, fruit, tubers, grains, cuttings, cut shoots and the like, and means in a preferred embodiment true seeds.
In general, “pesticidally effective amount” means the amount of active ingredient needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention, and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism. The pesticidally effective amount can vary for the various compounds/mixtures/compositions used in the invention. A pesticidally effective amount of the compositions will also vary according to the prevailing conditions such as desired pesticidal effect and duration, weather, target species, locus, mode of application, and the like.
In the case of soil treatment, in furrow application or of application to the pests dwelling place or nest, the quantity of active ingredient ranges from 0.0001 to 500 g per 100 m², preferably from 0.001 to 20 g per 100 m².
For use in treating crop plants, e.g. by foliar application, the rate of application of the active ingredients of this invention may be in the range of 0.0001 g to 4000 g per hectare, e.g. from 1 g to 2 kg per hectare or from 1 g to 750 g per hectare, desirably from 1 g to 100 g per hectare, more desirably from 10 g to 50 g per hectare, e.g., 10 to 20 g per hectare, 20 to 30 g per hectare, 30 to 40 g per hectare, or 40 to 50 g per hectare.
The compounds I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), are particularly suitable for use in the treatment of seeds in order to protect the seeds from insect pests, in particular from soil-living insect pests, and the resulting seedling's roots and shoots against soil pests and foliar insects. The present invention therefore also relates to a method for the protection of seeds from insects, in particular from soil insects, and of the seedling's roots and shoots from insects, in particular from soil and foliar insects, said method comprising treating the seeds before sowing and/or after pregermination with the compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I). The protection of the seedling's roots and shoots is preferred. More preferred is the protection of seedling's shoots from piercing and sucking insects, chewing insects and nematodes.
The term “seed treatment” comprises all suitable seed treatment techniques known in the art, such as seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking, seed pelleting, and in-furrow application methods. Preferably, the seed treatment application of the compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), is carried out by spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing of the plants and before emergence of the plants.
The present invention also comprises seeds coated with or containing the active compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I). The term “coated with and/or containing” generally signifies that the active ingredient is for the most part on the surface of the propagation product at the time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate into the propagation product, depending on the method of application. When the said propagation product is (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient.
Suitable seed is for example seed of cereals, root crops, oil crops, vegetables, spices, ornamentals, for example seed of durum and other wheat, barley, oats, rye, maize (fodder maize and sugar maize/sweet and field corn), soybeans, oil crops, crucifers, cotton, sunflowers, bananas, rice, oilseed rape, turnip rape, sugarbeet, fodder beet, eggplants, potatoes, grass, lawn, turf, fodder grass, tomatoes, leeks, pumpkin/squash, cabbage, iceberg lettuce, pepper, cucumbers, melons, Brassica species, melons, beans, peas, garlic, onions, carrots, tuberous plants such as potatoes, sugar cane, tobacco, grapes, petunias, geranium/pelargoniums, pansies and impatiens.
In addition, the active compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), may also be used for the treatment of seeds from plants, which have been modified by mutagenisis or genetic engineering, and which e.g. tolerate the action of herbicides or fungicides or insecticides. Such modified plants are described herein in detail elsewhere.

The term “health of a plant” or “plant health” is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several aspects alone or in combination with each other such as yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress.
It has to be emphasized that the above mentioned plant health effects are also present when the cultivated plant is not under biotic stress and in particular when the cultivated plant is not under pest pressure. It is evident that a cultivated plant suffering from fungal or insecticidal attack produces a smaller biomass and leads to a reduced yield as compared to a cultivated plant which has been subjected to curative or preventive treatment against the pathogenic fungus or any other relevant pest and which can grow without the damage caused by the biotic stress factor. However, the methods according to the invention lead to an enhanced plant health even in the absence of any biotic stress. This means that increased plant health cannot be explained just by the insecticidal (or herbicidal) activities of the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), or a mixture comprising the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) as component I with at least one compound II as component II, but are based on further activity profiles. Thus, the method of the present invention also be carried out in the absence of pest pressure.
Each listed plant health indicator listed below, and which is selected from the groups consisting of yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance to abiotic and/or biotic stress, is to be understood as a preferred embodiment of the present invention either each on its own or preferably in combination with each other.
According to the present invention, “increased yield” of a cultivated plant means that the yield of a product of the respective cultivated plant is increased via application of the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), or a mixture of the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) as component I with at least one compound II as component II by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the respective control plant produced under the same conditions and also under application of the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) or a mixture comprising the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) as component I with at least one compound II as component II.
Increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the cultivated plant: increased plant weight, increased plant height, increased biomass such as higher overall fresh weight (FW), increased number of flowers per plant, higher grain and/or fruit yield, more tillers or side shoots (branches), larger leaves, increased shoot growth, increased protein content, increased oil content, increased starch content, increased pigment content, increased chlorophyll content (chlorophyll content has a positive correlation with the plant's photosynthesis rate and accordingly, the higher the chlorophyll content the higher the yield of a plant)
“Grain” and “fruit” are to be understood as any cultivated plant product which is further utilized after harvesting, e.g. fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g. in the case of silviculture plants), flowers (e.g. in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals) etc., that is anything of economic value that is produced by the plant.
According to the present invention, the yield is increased by at least 4%, preferable by 5 to 10%, more preferable by 10 to 20%, or even 20 to 30%. In general, the yield increase may even be higher.
Another indicator for the condition of the cultivated plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor becomes manifest in several aspects such as the general visual appearance.
Improved plant vigor can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the cultivated plant: improved vitality of the cultivated plant, improved plant growth, improved plant development, improved visual appearance, improved plant stand (less plant verse/lodging), improved emergence, enhanced root growth and/or more developed root system, enhanced nodulation, in particular rhizobial nodulation, bigger leaf blade, bigger size, increased plant height, increased tiller number, increased number of side shoots, increased number of flowers per plant, increased shoot growth, enhanced photosynthetic activity (e.g. based on increased stomatal conductance and/or increased CO₂assimilation rate), enhanced pigment content-, earlier flowering, earlier fruiting, earlier and improved germination, earlier grain maturity, less non-productive tillers, less dead basal leaves, less input needed (such as fertilizers or water), greener leaves, complete maturation under shortened vegetation periods, less seeds needed, easier harvesting, faster and more uniform ripening, longer shelf-life, longer panicles, delay of senescence, stronger and/or more productive tillers, better extractability of ingredients, improved quality of seeds (for being seeded in the following seasons for seed production) and/or reduced production of ethylene and/or the inhibition of its reception by the cultivated plant.
Another indicator for the condition of the cultivated plant is the “quality” of a cultivated plant and/or its products. According to the present invention, enhanced quality means that certain plant characteristics such as the content or composition of certain ingredients are increased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the control plant produced under the same conditions. Enhanced quality can be characterized, among others, by following improved properties of the cultivated plant or its product: increased nutrient content, increased protein content, increased content of fatty acids, increased metabolite content, increased carotenoid content, increased sugar content, increased amount of essential amino acids, improved nutrient composition, improved protein composition, improved composition of fatty acids, improved metabolite composition, improved carotenoid composition, improved sugar composition, improved amino acids composition, improved or optimal fruit color, improved leaf color, higher storage capacity, higher processability of the harvested products.
Another indicator for the condition of the cultivated plant is the plants tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on cultivated plants. Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes. According to the present invention, “enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors” means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a measurable or noticeable amount as compared to control plants exposed to the same conditions and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I), or a mixture of (i) the carboxamide compound I, preferably compound i) of formula (I) as component I with (ii) at least one compound II as component II on the stress factors, e.g. by its insecticidal action, but rather by a stimulation of the cultivated plants' own defensive reactions against said stress factors.
Negative factors caused by biotic stress such as pathogens and pests are widely known and range from dotted leaves to total destruction of the cultivated plant. Biotic stress can be caused by living organisms, such as competing plants (for example weeds), microorganisms (such as phythopathogenic fungi and/or bacteria) and/or viruses.
Negative factors caused by abiotic stress are also well-known and can often be observed as reduced plant vigor (see above), for example: dotted leaves, “burned leaves”, reduced growth, less flowers, less biomass, less crop yields, reduced nutritional value of the crops, later crop maturity, to give just a few examples. Abiotic stress can be caused for example by: extremes in temperature such as heat or cold (heat stress/cold stress), strong variations in temperature, temperatures unusual for the specific season, drought (drought stress), extreme wetness, high salinity (salt stress), radiation (for example by increased UV radiation due to the decreasing ozone layer), increased ozone levels (ozone stress), organic pollution (for example by phytho-toxic amounts of pesticides), inorganic pollution (for example by heavy metal contaminants).
As a result of biotic and/or abiotic stress factors, the quantity and the quality of the stressed cultivated plants, their crops and fruits decrease. As far as quality is concerned, reproductive development is usually severely affected with consequences on the crops which are important for fruits or seeds. Synthesis, accumulation and storage of proteins are mostly affected by temperature; growth is slowed by almost all types of stress; polysaccharide synthesis, both structural and storage is reduced or modified: these effects result in a decrease in biomass (yield) and in changes in the nutritional value of the product.
Advantageous properties, obtained especially from treated seeds, are e.g. improved germination and field establishment, better vigor and/or a more homogen field establishment.
As pointed out above, the above identified indicators for the health condition of a cultivated plant may be interdependent and may result from each other. For example, an increased resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress may lead to a better plant vigor, e.g. to better and bigger crops, and thus to an increased yield. Inversely, a more developed root system may result in an increased resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress. However, these interdependencies and interactions are neither all known nor fully understood and therefore the different indicators are described separately.

The term cultivated plant(s) includes to “modified plant(s)” and “transgenic plant(s)”. In one embodiment of the invention, the term “cultivated plants” refers to “modified plants”. In one embodiment of the invention, the term “cultivated plants” refers to “transgenic plants”. “Modified plants” are those which have been modified by conventional breeding techniques. The term “modification” means in relation to modified plants a change in the genome, epigenome, transcriptome or proteome of the modified plant, as compared to the control, wild type, mother or parent plant whereby the modification confers a trait (or more than one trait) or confers the increase of a trait (or more than one trait) as listed below. Preferably, the term “cultivated plant” refers to a plant, which has been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering.
The modification may result in the modified plant to be a different, for example a new plant variety than the parental plant.
“Transgenic plants” are those, which genetic material has been modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances can not readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination, whereby the modification confers a trait (or more than one trait) or confers the increase of a trait (or more than one trait) as listed below as compared to the wild-type plant. Preferably, the term “transgenic plant” refers to a plant, which has been modified by genetic engineering.
In one embodiment, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant, preferably increase a trait as listed below as compared to the wild-type plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not limited to targeted post-translational modification of protein(s), or to post-transcriptional modifications of oligo- or polypeptides e.g. by glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated, phosphorylated or farnesylated moieties or PEG moieties.
In one embodiment under the term “modification” when referring to a transgenic plant or parts thereof is understood that the activity, expression level or amount of a gene product or the metabolite content is changed, e.g. increased or decreased, in a specific volume relative to a corresponding volume of a control, reference or wild-type plant or plant cell, including the de novo creation of the activity or expression.
In one embodiment the activity of a polypeptide is increased or generated by expression or overexpresion of the gene coding for said polypeptide which confers a trait or confers the increase of a trait as listed below as compared to the control plant. The term “expression” or “gene expression” means the transcription of a specific gene or specific genes or specific genetic construct. The term “expression” or “gene expression” in particular means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into structural RNA (rRNA, tRNA), regulatory RNA (e.g. miRNA, RNAi, RNAa) or mRNA with or without subsequent translation of the latter into a protein. In another embodiment the term “expression” or “gene expression” in particular means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into structural RNA (rRNA, tRNA) or mRNA with or without subsequent translation of the latter into a protein. In yet another embodiment it means the transcription of a gene or genes or genetic construct into mRNA.
The process includes transcription of DNA and processing of the resulting mRNA product. The term “increased expression” or “overexpression” as used herein means any form of expression that is additional to the original wild-type expression level.
The term “expression of a polypeptide” is understood in one embodiment to mean the level of said protein or polypeptide, preferably in an active form, in a cell or organism.
In one embodiment the activity of a polypeptide is decreased by decreased expression of the gene coding for said polypeptide which confers a trait or confers the increase of a trait as listed below as compared to the control plant. Reference herein to “decreased expression” or “reduction or substantial elimination” of expression is taken to mean a decrease in endogenous gene expression and/or polypeptide levels and/or polypeptide activity relative to control plants. It comprises further reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule.
The terms “reduction”, “repression”, “decrease” or “deletion” relate to a corresponding change of a property in an organism, a part of an organism such as a tissue, seed, root, tuber, fruit, leave, flower etc. or in a cell. Under “change of a property” it is understood that the activity, expression level or amount of a gene product or the metabolite content is changed in a specific volume or in a specific amount of protein relative to a corresponding volume or amount of protein of a control, reference or wild type. Preferably, the overall activity in the volume is reduced, decreased or deleted in cases if the reduction, decrease or deletion is related to the reduction, decrease or deletion of an activity of a gene product, independent whether the amount of gene product or the specific activity of the gene product or both is reduced, decreased or deleted or whether the amount, stability or translation efficacy of the nucleic acid sequence or gene encoding for the gene product is reduced, decreased or deleted.
The terms “reduction”, “repression”, “decrease” or “deletion” include the change of said property in only parts of the subject of the present invention, for example, the modification can be found in compartment of a cell, like an organelle, or in a part of a plant, like tissue, seed, root, leave, tuber, fruit, flower etc. but is not detectable if the overall subject, i.e. complete cell or plant, is tested. Preferably, the “reduction”, “repression”, “decrease” or “deletion” is found cellular, thus the term “reduction, decrease or deletion of an activity” or “reduction, decrease or deletion of a metabolite content” relates to the cellular reduction, decrease or deletion compared to the wild type cell. In addition the terms “reduction”, “repression”, “decrease” or “deletion” include the change of said property only during different growth phases of the organism used in the inventive process, for example the reduction, repression, decrease or deletion takes place only during the seed growth or during blooming. Furthermore the terms include a transitional reduction, decrease or deletion for example because the used method, e.g. the antisense, RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression molecule, or ribozyme, is not stable integrated in the genome of the organism or the reduction, decrease, repression or deletion is under control of a regulatory or inducible element, e.g. a chemical or otherwise inducible promoter, and has therefore only a transient effect.
Methods to achieve said reduction, decrease or deletion in an expression product are known in the art, for example from the international patent application WO 2008/034648, particularly in paragraphs [0020.1.1.1], [0040.1.1.1], [0040.2.1.1] and [0041.1.1.1].
Reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule in modified plants is known. Examples are canola i.e. double nill oilseed rape with reduced amounts of erucic acid and sinapins.
Such a decrease can also be achieved for example by the use of recombinant DNA technology, such as antisense or regulatory RNA (e.g. miRNA, RNAi, RNAa) or siRNA approaches. In particular RNAi, snRNA, dsRNA, siRNA, miRNA, ta-siRNA, cosuppression molecule, ribozyme, or antisense nucleic acid molecule, a nucleic acid molecule conferring the expression of a dominant-negative mutant of a protein or a nucleic acid construct capable to recombine with and silence, inactivate, repress or reduces the activity of an endogenous gene may be used to decrease the activity of a polypeptide in a transgenic plant or parts thereof or a plant cell thereof used in one embodiment of the methods of the invention. Examples of transgenic plants with reduced, repressed, decreased or deleted expression product of a nucleic acid molecule are Carica papaya (Papaya plants) with the event name X17-2 of the University of Florida, Prunus domestica (Plum) with the event name C5 of the United States Department of Agriculture—Agricultural Research Service, or those listed in rows T9-48 and T9-49 of table 9 below. Also known are plants with increased resistance to nematodes for example by reducing, repressing, decreasing or deleting of an expression product of a nucleic acid molecule, e.g. from the PCT publication WO 2008/095886.
The reduction or substantial elimination is in increasing order of preference at least 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% or 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or more reduced compared to that of control plants. Reference herein to an “endogenous” gene not only refers to the gene in question as found in a plant in its natural form (i.e., without there being any human intervention), but also refers to that same gene (or a substantially homologous nucleic acid/gene) in an isolated form subsequently (re)introduced into a plant (a transgene). For example, a transgenic plant containing such a transgene may encounter a substantial reduction of the transgene expression and/or substantial reduction of expression of the endogenous gene.
The terms “control” or “reference” are exchangeable and can be a cell or a part of a plant such as an organelle like a chloroplast or a tissue, in particular a plant, which was not modified or treated according to the herein described process according to the invention. Accordingly, the plant used as control or reference corresponds to the plant as much as possible and is as identical to the subject matter of the invention as possible. Thus, the control or reference is treated identically or as identical as possible, saying that only conditions or properties might be different which do not influence the quality of the tested property other than the treatment of the present invention.
It is possible that control or reference plants are wild-type plants. However, “control” or “reference” may refer to plants carrying at least one genetic modification, when the plants employed in the process of the present invention carry at least one genetic modification more than said control or reference plants. In one embodiment control or reference plants may be transgenic but differ from transgenic plants employed in the process of the present invention only by said modification contained in the transgenic plants employed in the process of the present invention.
The term “wild type” or “wild-type plants” refers to a plant without said genetic modification. These terms can refer to a cell or a part of a plant such as an organelle like a chloroplast or a tissue, in particular a plant, which lacks said genetic modification but is otherwise as identical as possible to the plants with at least one genetic modification employed in the present invention. In a particular embodiment the “wild-type” plant is not transgenic.
Preferably, the wild type is identically treated according to the herein described process according to the invention. The person skilled in the art will recognize if wild-type plants will not require certain treatments in advance to the process of the present invention, e.g. non-transgenic wild-type plants will not need selection for transgenic plants for example by treatment with a selecting agent such as a herbicide.
The control plant may also be a nullizygote of the plant to be assessed. The term “nullizygotes” refers to a plant that has undergone the same production process as a transgenic, yet has lost the once acquired genetic modification (e.g. due to mendelian segregation) as the corresponding transgenic. If the starting material of said production process is transgenic, then nullizygotes are also transgenic but lack the additional genetic modification introduced by the production process. In the process of the present invention the purpose of wild-type and nullizygotes is the same as the one for control and reference or parts thereof. All of these serve as controls in any comparison to provide evidence of the advantageous effect of the present invention.
Preferably, any comparison is carried out under analogous conditions. The term “analogous conditions” means that all conditions such as, for example, culture or growing conditions, soil, nutrient, water content of the soil, temperature, humidity or surrounding air or soil, assay conditions (such as buffer composition, temperature, substrates, pathogen strain, concentrations and the like) are kept identical between the experiments to be compared. The person skilled in the art will recognize if wild-type, control or reference plants will not require certain treatments in advance to the process of the present invention, e.g. non-transgenic wild-type plants will not need selection for transgenic plants for example by treatment with herbicide.
In case that the conditions are not analogous the results can be normalized or standardized based on the control.
The “reference”, “control”, or “wild type” is preferably a plant, which was not modified or treated according to the herein described process of the invention and is in any other property as similar to a plant, employed in the process of the present invention of the invention as possible. The reference, control or wild type is in its genome, transcriptome, proteome or metabolome as similar as possible to a plant, employed in the process of the present invention of the present invention. Preferably, the term “reference-” “control-” or “wild-type-” plant, relates to a plant, which is nearly genetically identical to the organelle, cell, tissue or organism, in particular plant, of the present invention or a part thereof preferably 90% or more, e.g. 95%, more preferred are 98%, even more preferred are 99.00%, in particular 99.10%, 99.30%, 99.50%, 99.70%, 99.90%, 99.99%, 99.999% or more. Most preferable the “reference”, “control”, or “wild type” is a plant, which is genetically identical to the plant, cell, a tissue or organelle used according to the process of the invention except that the responsible or activity conferring nucleic acid molecules or the gene product encoded by them have been amended, manipulated, exchanged or introduced in the organelle, cell, tissue, plant, employed in the process of the present invention.
Preferably, the reference and the subject matter of the invention are compared after standardization and normalization, e.g. to the amount of total RNA, DNA, or protein or activity or expression of reference genes, like housekeeping genes, such as ubiquitin, actin or ribosomal proteins.
The genetic modification carried in the organelle, cell, tissue, in particular plant used in the process of the present invention is in one embodiment stable e.g. due to a stable transgenic integration or to a stable mutation in the corresponding endogenous gene or to a modulation of the expression or of the behaviour of a gene, or transient, e.g. due to an transient transformation or temporary addition of a modulator such as an agonist or antagonist or inducible, e.g. after transformation with a inducible construct carrying a nucleic acid molecule under control of a inducible promoter and adding the inducer, e.g. tetracycline.

The cultivated plants are plants, which comprise at least one trait. The term “trait” refers to a property, which is present in the plant either by genetic engineering or by conventional breeding techniques. Each trait has to be assessed in relation to its respective control. Examples of traits are: herbicide tolerance, insect resistance by expression of bacterial toxins, fungal resistance or viral resistance or bacterial resistance, antibiotic resistance, stress tolerance, maturation alteration, content modification of chemicals present in the cultivated plant, preferably increasing the content of fine chemicals advantageous for applications in the field of the food and/or feed industry, the cosmetics industry and/or the pharmaceutical industry, modified nutrient uptake, preferably an increased nutrient use efficiency and/or resistance to conditions of nutrient deficiency, improved fiber quality, plant vigor, modified colour, fertility restoration, and male sterility.
Principally, cultivated plants may also comprise combinations of the aforementioned traits, e.g. they may be tolerant to the action of herbicides and express bacertial toxins.
Principally, all cultivated plants may also provide combinations of the aforementioned properties, e.g. they may be tolerant to the action of herbicides and express bacertial toxins.
In the detailed description below, the term “plant” refers to a cultivated plant.
Tolerance to herbicides can be obtained by creating insensitivity at the site of action of the herbicide by expression of a target enzyme which is resistant to herbicide; rapid metabolism (conjugation or degradation) of the herbicide by expression of enzymes which inactivate herbicide; or poor uptake and translocation of the herbicide. Examples are the expression of enzymes which are tolerant to the herbicide in comparison to wild type enzymes, such as the expression of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS), which is tolerant to glyphosate (see e.g. Heck et. al, Crop Sci. 45, 2005, 329-339; Funke et. al, PNAS 103, 2006, 13010-13015; U.S. Pat. No. 5,188,642, U.S. Pat. No. 4,940,835, U.S. Pat. No. 5,633,435, U.S. Pat. No. 5,804,425, U.S. Pat. No. 5,627,061), the expression of glutamine synthase which is tolerant to glufosinate and bialaphos (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,646,024, U.S. Pat. No. 5,561,236) and DNA constructs coding for dicamba-degrading enzymes (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 7,105,724). Gene constructs can be obtained, for example, from micro-organism or plants, which are tolerant to said herbicides, such as the Agrobacterium strain CP4 EPSPS which is resistant to glyphosate; Streptomyces bacteria which are resistance to glufosinate; Arabidopsis, Daucus carota, Pseudomonoas spp. or Zea mais with chimeric gene sequences coding for HDDP (see e.g. WO 1996/38567, WO 2004/55191); Arabidopsis thaliana which is resistant to protox inhibitors (see e.g. US 2002/0073443).
Tolerance to glyphosate can also be achieved by any one of the genes 2mepsps, epsps, gat4601, goxv247 or mepsps.
Tolerance to glufosinate can be achieved by any one of the genes bar, pat or pat(syn).
Preferably, the herbicide tolerant plant can be selected from cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oat; canola, sorghum, soybean, rice, oil seed rape, sugar beet, sugarcane, grapes, lentils, sunflowers, alfalfa, pome fruits; stone fruits; peanuts; coffee; tea; strawberries; turf; vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits and lettuce, more preferably, the plant is selected from soybean, maize (corn), rice, cotton, oilseed rape in particular canola, tomatoes, potatoes, sugarcane, vine, apple, pear, citron, orange and cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and oat. More preferably, the cultivated plant is selected from the group consisting of Gossypium hirsutum L. (cotton), Zea mays L. (maize), Glycine max L. (soybean), Triticum aestivum (wheat), and Oryza sativa L. (rice), preferably from the group consisting of Gossypium hirsutum L. (cotton), Zea mays L. (maize) and Glycine max L. (soybean).

The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
Plants, which are capable of synthesising one or more selectively acting bacterial toxins, comprise for example at least one toxin from toxin-producing bacteria, especially those of the genus Bacillus, in particular plants capable of synthesising one or more insecticidal proteins from Bacillus cereus or Bacillus popliae; or insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as delta.-endotoxins, e.g. CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIF, CryIF(a2), CryIIA(b), CryIIIA, CryIIIB(b1) or Cry9c, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e.g. VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; or insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonising nematodes, for example Photorhabdus spp. or Xenorhabdus spp., such as Photorhabdus luminescens, Xenorhabdus nematophilus; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins and other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such as Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea lectins, barley lectins or snowdrop lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsine inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin, papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroidoxidase, ecdysteroid-UDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors, HMG-COA-reductase, ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels, juvenile hormone esterase, diuretic hormone receptors, stilbene synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases and glucanases.
In one embodiment a plant is capable of producing a toxin, lectin or inhibitor if it contains at least one cell comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding said toxin, lectin, inhibitor or inhibitor producing enzyme, and said nucleic acid sequence is transcribed and translated and if appropriate the resulting protein processed and/or secreted in a constitutive manner or subject to developmental, inducible or tissue-specific regulation.
In the context of the present invention there are to be understood delta.-endotoxins, for example CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIF, CryIF(a2), CryIIA(b), CryIIIA, CryIIIB(b1) or Cry9c, or vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), for example VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A, expressly also hybrid toxins, truncated toxins and modified toxins. Hybrid toxins are produced recombinantly by a new combination of different domains of those proteins (see, for example, WO 02/15701). An example for a truncated toxin is a truncated Cry1A(b), which is expressed in the Bt11 maize from Syngenta Seed SAS, as described below. In the case of modified toxins, one or more amino acids of the naturally occurring toxin are replaced. In such amino acid replacements, preferably non-naturally present protease recognition sequences are inserted into the toxin, such as, for example, in the case of CryIIIA055, a cathepsin-D-recognition sequence is inserted into a CryIIIA toxin (see WO 2003/018810).
Examples of such toxins or transgenic plants capable of synthesising such toxins are disclosed, for example, in EP-A-0 374 753, WO 93/07278, WO 95/34656, EP-A-0 427 529, EP-A451 878 and WO 2003/052073.
Examples of genes conferring resistance to coleopteran insects include cry34Ab1, cry35 Ab1, cry3A, cry3Bb1, dvsnf7, and mcry3A.
Examples of genes conferring resistance to lepidopteran insects include cry1A, cry1A.105, cry1Ab, cry1Ab-Ac, cry1Ac, cry1C, cry1F, cry1Fa2, cry2Ab2, cry2Ae, cry9c, mocry1F, pinII, vip3A(a), and vip3Aa20.
The processes for the preparation of such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above. Cry1-type deoxyribonucleic acids and their preparation are known, for example, from WO 95/34656, EP-A0 367 474, EP-A-0 401 979 and WO 1990/13651.
The toxin contained in the transgenic plants imparts to the plants tolerance to harmful insects. Such insects can occur in any taxonomic group of insects, but are especially commonly found in the beetles (Coleoptera), two-winged insects (Diptera) and butterflies (Lepidoptera).
Preferably, the plant capable of expression of bacterial toxins is selected from cereals such as wheat, barley, rye, oat; canola, cotton, eggplant, lettuce, sorghum, soybean, rice, oil seed rape, sugar beet, sugarcane, grapes, lentils, sunflowers, alfalfa, pome fruits; stone fruits; peanuts;

More preferably, the cultivated plant is selected from the group consisting of Gossypium hirsutum L. (cotton), Zea mays L. (maize), Glycine max L. (soybean), Triticum aestivum (wheat), and Oryza sativa L. (rice), preferably from the group consisting of Gossypium hirsutum L. (cotton), Zea mays L. (maize) and Glycine max L. (soybean). Particularly preferably, the cultivated plant is Glycine max L. (soybean).
Examples of commercial available transgenic plants capable of expression of bacterial toxins are the corn varieties “YieldGard corn rootworm” (Monsanto), “YieldGard VT” (Monsanto), “Herculex RW” (Dow, Pioneer), “Herculex Rootworm” (Dow, Pioneer) and “Agrisure CRW” (Syngenta) with resistance against corn rootworm; the corn varieties “YieldGard corn borer” (Monsanto), “YieldGard VT Pro” (Monsanto), “Agrisure CB/LL” (Syngenta), “Agrisure 3000GT” (Syngenta), “Hercules I”, “Hercules II” (Dow, Pioneer), “KnockOut” (Novartis), “NatureGard” (Mycogen) and “StarLink” (Aventis) with resistance against corn borer, the corn varieties “Herculex I” (Dow, Pioneer) and “Herculex Xtra” (Dow, Pioneer) with resistance against western bean cutworm, corn borer, black cutworm and fall armyworm; the corn variety “YieldGard Plus” (Monsanto) with resistance against corn borer and corn rootworm; the cotton variety “Bollgard I“ ” (Monsanto) with resistance against tobacco budworm; the cotton varieties “Bollgard II” (Monsanto), WideStrike” (Dow) and “VipCot” (Syngenta) with resistance against tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm, fall armyworm, beet armyworm, cabbage looper, soybean lopper and pink bollworm; the potato varieties “NewLeaf”, “NewLeaf Y” and “NewLeaf Plus” (Monsanto) with tobacco hornworm resistance and the eggplant varieties “Bt brinjal”, “Dumaguete Long Purple”, “Mara” with resistance against brinjal fruit and shoot borer, bruit borer and cotton bollworm (see e.g. U.S. Pat.

No. 5,349,124), resistant soybean (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 7,432,421) and rice with resistance against Lepidopterans, such as rice stemborer, rice skipper, rice cutworm, rice caseworm, rice leaffolder and rice armyworm (see e.g. WO 2001021821). The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
Preferably, plants, which are capable of synthesising antipathogenic substances are selected from soybean, maize (corn), rice, tomatoes, potato, banana, papaya, tobacco, grape, plum and cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and oat, most preferably from soybean, maize (corn), rice, cotton, tomatoes, potato, banana, papaya, oil seed rape, vine, apple, pear, citron, orange and cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and oat.
Plants, which are capable of synthesising antipathogenic substances having a selective action are for example plants expressing the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PRPs, see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225) or so-called “antifungal proteins” (AFPs, see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,864,068). A wide range of antifungal proteins with activity against plant pathogenic fungi have been isolated from certain plant species and are common knowledge. Examples of such antipathogenic substances and transgenic plants capable of synthesising such antipathogenic substances are known, for example, from EP-A-0 392 225, WO 93/05153, WO 95/33818, and EP-A-0 353 191. Transgenic plants which are resistant against fungal, viral and bacterial pathogens are produced by introducing plant resistance genes. Numerous resistant genes have been identified, isolated and were used to improve plant resistant, such as the N gene which was introduced into tobacco lines that are susceptible to Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) in order to produce TMV-resistant tobacco plants (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,571,706), the Prf gene, which was introduced into plants to obtain enhanced pathogen resistance (see e.g. WO 199802545) and the Rps2 gene from Arabidopsis thaliana, which was used to create resistance to bacterial pathogens including Pseudomonas syringae (see e.g. WO 199528423). Plants exhibiting systemic acquired resistance response were obtained by introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding the TIR domain of the N gene (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,630,618). Further examples of known resistance genes are the Xa21 gene, which has been introduced into a number of rice cultivars (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,952,485, U.S. Pat. No. 5,977,434, WO 1999/09151, WO 1996/22375), the Rcg1 gene for colletotrichum resistance (see e.g. US 2006/225152), the prp1 gene (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,859,332, WO 2008/017706), the ppv-cp gene to introduce resistance against plum pox virus (see e.g. US PP15,154Ps), the P1 gene (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,968,828), genes such as Blb1, Blb2, Blb3 and RB2 to introduce resistance against Phytophthora infestans in potato (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 7,148,397), the LRPKml gene (see e.g. WO1999064600), the P1 gene for potato virus Y resistance (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,968,828), the HA5-1 gene (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,877,403 and U.S. Pat. No. 6,046,384), the PIP gene to introduce a broad resistant to viruses, such as potato virus X (PVX), potato virus Y (PVY), potato leafroll virus (PLRV) (see e.g. EP 0707069) and genes such as Arabidopsis N116, ScaM4 and ScaM5 genes to obtain fungal resistance (see e.g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,706,952 and EP 1018553). The methods of producing such transgenic plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above.
Antipathogenic substances which can be expressed by such transgenic plants include, for example, ion channel blockers, such as blockers for sodium and calcium channels, for example the viral KP1, KP4 or KP6 toxins; stilbene synthases; bibenzyl synthases; chitinases; glucanases; the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins”” (PRPs; see e.g. EP-A-0 392 225); antipathogenic substances produced by microorganisms, for example peptide antibiotics or heterocyclic antibiotics (see e.g. WO 1995/33818) or protein or polypeptide factors involved in plant pathogen defense (so-called “plant disease resistance genes”, as described in WO 2003/000906).
Antipathogenic substances produced by the plants are able to protect the plants against a variety of pathogens, such as fungi, viruses and bacteria. Useful plants of elevated interest in connection with present invention are cereals, such as wheat, barley, rye and oat; soybean; maize; rice; alfalfa, cotton, sugar beet, sugarcane, tobacco, potato, banana, oil seed rape; pome fruits; stone fruits; peanuts; coffee; tea; strawberries; turf; vines and vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, cucurbits, papaya, melon, lenses and lettuce, more preferably selected from soybean, maize (corn), alfalfa, cotton, potato, banana, papaya, rice, tomatoes and cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and oat, most preferably from soybean, maize (corn), rice, cotton, potato, tomato, oilseed rape, vine, apple, pear, citron, orange and cereals such as wheat, barley, rye and oat.

EXAMPLE

The present invention may be illustrated by the following example.
The interaction between the carboxamide compound of the present invention (or compositions comprising it) and the cultivated plant may be evaluated in different test systems. As well for the comparison to non-cultivated plants or to mixtures (comprising the carboxamide compound) synergism may be shown.
Synergism can be described as an interaction where the combined effect of two or more compounds is greater than the sum of the individual effects of each of the compounds. The presence of a synergistic effect in terms of percent control, between two mixing partners (X and Y) can be calculated using the Colby equation (Colby, S. R., 1967, Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses in Herbicide Combinations, Weeds, 15, 20-22):
When the observed combined control effect is greater than the expected combined control effect (E), then the combined effect is synergistic.
The following tests can demonstrate the control efficacy of compounds, mixtures or compositions of this invention on specific pests. However, the pest control protection afforded by the compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to the species described. In certain instances, combinations of a compound of this invention with other invertebrate pest control compounds or agents are found to exhibit synergistic effects against certain important invertebrate pests.
The analysis of synergism or antagonism between the mixtures or compositions is determined using Colby's equation.
B1: Test on cultivated soybeans
Trial is carried out under greenhouse conditions on soybean (genetically modified plant variety, e.g. roundup, growth stage 109). 12 treatments are compared in a complete randomized blocks (4 replications) with plot size of 1 m×3 meters. Only selected plants are considered for artificial infestation and evaluations.
Due to glyphosate timing for application on such cultivated soybeans, all treatments are applied in older plants (GS 109) otherwise a significant phytotoxicity is expected. Application is done, using 400 l/ha. All treatments are applied using a CO2 backpack (nozzle type TXVK-10). Temperature at the time of applications is around 25 to 30° C. and air humidity is between 30 and 100%. Soil condition is e.g. R4 (when <75% of surface is dried up) and the moisture is moist (normal).
Roundup Original® (Glyfosate-sal isopropilamina @360 g/L) is used in the rate of 867 g a.i./ha. Artificial infestation is done one day after the application. The species used is Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner) [Thermesia elegantula (Herrich-Schaffer, 1869)], Noctuidae. 5 plants/plot are infested with 3 larvae (stage L2) using an entomological metallic tweezers, totaling 15 larvae per repetition. Larvae used in this trial are e.g. provided by BASF in-house rearing laboratory, Campinas, Brazil.
A second infestation is held seven days after application in the same plants and using the same larval numbers. A third infestation might be done if necessary in order to observe residual activity.
The mortality (number) and eating damage (%) are evaluated with 01, 02, 05, 07, 14 and 21 DAA (days after application), comparing to untreated control plants.
Increased mortalities in combination with the application of roundup can be observed when compared to the untreated control plants:
Additionally, after 5 days after application at 12.5 g a.i./ha a reduction of feeding damage compared to the untreated controls can be observed. In another test, a non-cultivated (non-GM) soybean variety is treated with 12.5 g a.i./ha and showed less reduction in feeding damage compared to the untreated controls.
