A mixture with other known active substances, such as herbicides, fertilisers, growth regulators, safeners or semiochemicals is also possible.
The active substances according to the invention can also be present in mixture with synergists during use as insecticides in their traditional commercial formulations as well as in the application forms prepared from these formulations. Synergists are compounds through which the action of the active substances are enhanced without the added synergist itself being required to be active.
The active substances according to the invention can also be present in mixtures with inhibitors during use as insecticides in their traditional commercial formulations as well as in the application forms prepared from these formulations, which inhibit a degradation of the active substance after application to the environment of the plant, on the surface of plant parts or in plant tissues.
The active substance concentration of the application forms prepared from the traditional commercial formulations can vary in wide ranges. The active substance concentration for the application forms can lie between 0.0000001 up to 95 % by weight of active substance, preferably between 0.0001 und 1 % by weight.
The application occurs in one of the application forms adjusted in the traditional manner.
The active substance is characterised by an excellent residual effect on wood and clay as well as by good alkaline stability on calcareous substrates during use against hygenic and inventory pests.
As already mentioned above, all plants and their parts can be treated according to the invention. Plant species and plant breeds occuring in the wild or obtained through conventional biological breeding methods such as crossing or protoplastic infusion, as well as their parts, are treated in a preferred embodiment. Transgenic plants and plant species that were obtained by means of genetic technology methods optionally in combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms) and their parts are treated in an additional preferred embodiment. The term "parts" and "parts of plants" or "plant parts" were explained above.
The respective traditional commercial plant species or those in use are particularly preferably treated according to the invention. Under plant species are included plants with novel characteristics ("traits") that have been bred both through conventional breeding and by mutagenesis or through recombinant DNA techniques. These can be species, bio and genotypes.
Depending on plant species or plant breeds, their location and growth conditions (soil, climate vegetation period, nutrition), additive ("synergistic") effects can appear through the treatment according to the invention. Thus possible, for example, are reduced application rates and/or extensions of the spectrum of action and/or a strengthening of the action of the substances and agents that are usable according to the invention, better plant development, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or to water and soil salt content, increased blossom yield, simpler harvest, acceleration of maturation, higher crop yields, higher quality and/or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, greater storability and/or processibility of the harvested products, which exceed the actual effects to be expected.
AIl plants obtained through genetic modification of genetic material, which imparts particularly favourable useful characteristics ("traits") to these plants, are included in the transgenic plants and plant species to be treated preferably according to the invention. Examples of such characteristics are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to dryness or to water and soil salt content, increased blossom yield, simpler harvest, acceleration of maturation, higher crop yields, higher quality and/or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, greater storability and/or processibility of the harvested products. Additional and particularly emphasised examples for such characteristics are an increased defense by the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, plant pathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, as well as an increased tolerance by the plants against particular herbicidal active substances. The important crops such as grains (wheat, rice), maize, soy, potatoes, cotton, tobacco, rapeseed and fruit plants (with the fruits apple, pears, citrus fruits and grapes) are mentioned as examples of transgenic plants, whereby maize, soy, potatoes, cotton, tobacco and rapeseed are particularly emphasised. The increased defense by the plants against insects, arachnids, nematodes and snails by means of toxins originating from the plants, in particular those that are produced in the plants from the genetic material from Bacillus thυringiensis (for example through the genes CryΙA(a), CryIA(b), CryΙA(c), CryllA, CrylUA, CryIHB2, Cry9c Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryEF as well as their combinations) are particularly emphasised as characteristics ("traits"). The increased defense by the plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by means of systematically acquired resistance (SAR), systemin, phytoalexines, elicitors and resistance genes and correpondingly expressed proteins and toxins are also particularly emphasised as characteristics ("traits"). Furthermore, the increased tolerance of the plants against particular herbicidal active substances, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylurea, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (i.e. "PAT" gene) are particuarly emphasised as characteristics ("traits"). The genes imparting the desired characteristics ("traits") in each case can also occur in combinations with one another in the transgenic plants. Maize species, cotton species, soy species and potato species that are distributed under the trade names YIELD GARD® (i.e. maize, cotton, soy), KnockOut® (i.e maize), StarLink® (i.e. maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato) are mentioned as examples of "Bt plants". Maize species, cotton species and soy speices that are distributed under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance against glyphosate, i.e. M maize, cotton, soy), LibertyLink® (tolerance against phosphinotricin, i.e. rapeseed), IMI® (tolerance against imidazolinone) and STS® (tolerance against sulphonylurea i.e. maize). The species distributed under the name Clearfield® (i.e. maize) are also mentioned as herbicide-resistant (conventionally bred for herbicide tolerance) plants. Naturally these statements also apply for plant species developed in the future or coming onto the market in the future with these genetic characteristics ("traits"), or with genetic characteristics ("traits") developed in the future.

Non-living materials to be included under technical materials in the preceding context are preferably those such as plastics, adhesives, glues, papers and cartons, leather, wood, wood¬ working products and coating materials.
The material to be protected prior to insect infestation very particulary preferably involves wood and wood-working products.
Included under wood and wood-working products, which can be protected by the agent according to the invention or mixtures containing it, are exemplarily:
Lumber, wooden beams, railroad ties, bridge parts, boat moorings, wooden vehicles, boxes, pallets, containers, telephone poles, wood paneling, wood windows and doors, plywood, particle board, carpentry work or wood products that are generally found in use for house construction or carpentry.
The active substances can be applied as such in the form of concentrates or generally customary formulations such as powders, granulates, solutions, suspensions, emulsions or pastes.
The formulations identified can be produced in a known manner, i.e. by mixing the active substances with at least one solvent or diluent, emulsifier, dispersing and/or binding or fixing agent, water repellant, optionally siccatives and UV stabilisers and optionally dyestuffs and pigments as well as other treatment resources.
The insecticial agent or concentrate used for the protection of wood and wood- working materials contains the active substance according to the invention in a concentration from 0.0001 to 95% by weight, in particular 0.001 to 60% by weight.
The amount of agent or concentrate used is dependent on the type and on the appearance of the insects and on the medium. The optimal amount to use for the application can be determined through the use of test rows in each case. However, in general it is sufficient to use 0.0001 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.001 to 10% by weight of the active substance, in terms of the material to be protected.
An organic chemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or an oily or oil-like organic chemical solvent with low volatility or solvent mixture and/or a polar organic chemical solvent or solvent mixture and/or water and optionally an emulsifier and/or wetting agent serve as a solvent or diluent.
Oily or oil-like solvents with an evaporation number over 35 and a flame point over 300C, preferably over 450C, are preferably used as organic chemcial solvents. Corresponding mineral oils or their aromatic fractions or solvent mixtures containing mineral oils, preferably petroleum
spirit, petroleum and/or alkyl benzene are used as water-insoluble, oily and oil-like solvents that are not easily volatised.
Mineral oils with a boiling range of from 170 to 2200C, petroleum spirit with a boiling range from 170 to 22O0C, spindle oil with a boiling range from 250 to 3500C, petroleum or aromates of a boiling range from 160 to 2800C, turpentine oil and similar items are used advantageously.
Liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range from 180 to 2100C or high-boiling mixtures of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with a boiling range from 180 to 2200C and/or spindle oil and/or monochloro naphthaline, preferably α-monochloro naphthaline are used a preferred embodiment.
The oily or oil-like organic solvents with an evaporation number over 35 and a flame point above 300C, preferably above 450C, that are not easily volatised can be partially replaced by organic chemical solvents of high or intermediate volatility, with the condition that the solvent mixture also has an evaporation number and a flame point above 300C, preferably above 45°C, and that the insecticide-fungicide mixture is soluble or emulsifiable in this solvent mixture.
According to a preferred embodiment, a portion of the organic chemical solvent or solvent mixture or an aliphatic polar organic chemcial solvent or solvent mixture is replaced. Hydroxyl- and/or ester- and/or ether groups containing aliphatic organic chemical solvents such as, for example, glycol ethers, esters or similar are preferably used.
In the context of the present invention, the synthetic resins and/or bonded dried oils, in particular binding agents consisting of or containing an acrylic resin, a vinyl resin, i.e. polyvinyl acetate, polyester resin, polycondensation- or polyaddition resin, polyurethane resin, alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin, phenol resin, hydrocarbon resin such as indene-coumarone resin, silicon resin, dried vegetable and/or dried oils and/or physically dried binding agents on the basis of a natural and/or artificial resin are used as organic chemical binding agents.
The synthetic resin used as a binding agent can be used in the form of an emulsion, disperson or solution. Bitumen or bituminous substances can be used as binding agents up to 10% by weight. In addition, known dyestuffs, pigments, water-repellent agents, scent markers and inhibitors and corrosion prevention agents and similar items can be be used.
According to the invention, at least one alkyd resin or modified alkyd resin and/or a dried vegetable oil is preferably included in the agent or in the concentrate. According to the invention, alkyd resins with an oil content of more than 45% by weight, preferably 50 to 68% by weight, are preferably used.
The binding agent mentioned can be used in whole or in part by means of a fixing agent (mixture) or a plasticiser (mixture). These additives should prevent a volatilisation of the active substances as well as a crystallisation or precipitation. They preferably replace 0.01 to 30% of the binding agent (in terms of 100% of the binding agent used).
The plasticisers originate from the chemical classes of the phthalic acid esters such as dibutyl-, dioctyl- or benzyl buytl phthalate, phosphoric acid esters such as tributyl phosphate, adipic acid esters such as di-(2-ethylhexyl)-adipate, stearates such as butyl stearate or amyl stearate, oleates such as butyloleate, glycerin ethers or high molecular glycol ether, glycerine esters and p-toluene sulphonic acid ester.
Fixing agents are chemically based on polyvinyl alkyl ethers such as, for example, polyvinyl methyl ether or ketones such as benzophenone, ethylene benzophenone.
Water is especially suitable as a solvent or diluent, optionally in mixture with one or more of the organic chemical solvents, diluents, emulsifiers and dispersants mentioned above.
A particularly effective protection of wood is achieved by means of industrial impregnation processes, i.e. vacuum, double vacuum or pressure processes.
The agents that are ready for use can optionally contain yet additional insecticides and optionally yet one or more fungicides.
The insecticides and fungicides mentioned in WO 94/29 268 are preferred suitable mixture partners. The compounds mentioned in this document are an express element of the present application.

At the same time, the compounds according to the invention can be used for the prevention of fouling of objects, in particular of ship hulls, sieves, nets, structures, wharf installations and signaling installations, which come into contact with seawater or brackish water.
Fouling by sessile oligochaetes such as tubificid worms as well as by mussels and species of the group Ledamorpha (goose barnacles), such as various Lepas and Scalpellum species, or by species from the group balanomorpha (sea pox), such as Balanus or Pollicipes species, increases the friction resistance of ships and as a consequence leads to increased energy consumption and furthermore to a clear increase in operating costs through frequent dry-dock layovers.
Alongside the fouling by algaes, for example Ectocarpus sp. and Ceramium sp., of particular importance is the fouling by sessile Entomostraca groups, which are summarised under the name Cirripedia (river crabs).

Coating materials also optionally contain inorganic pigments, organic pigments or dyestuffs, which preferably are insoluble in sea water. In addition, coating materials can contain materials such as colophonium, in order to make a controlled release of the active substances possible. In addition, the coatings can be plasticisers that contain modification agents that affect rheological characteristics as well as other traditional components. The compounds according to the invention or the mixture mentioned above can also incorporated into self-polishing antifouling systems.
