Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for improving the growing characteristics of a plant, in 5 particular by protecting the plant propagation material of the plant against damage by molluscs, which method comprises a defined treatment of the plant propagation material; a plant propagation material so treated; and a composition for such treatment.
- Molluscs are serious pests, especially of cereals, such as wheat, and oil seed rape.
- the 0 molluscs consume the seeds, seed growing points, and seedlings and thereby reduce the plant stand and yield of the crop.
- Molluscs such as slugs and snails, in horticulture and agriculture are a massively increasing problem. They can cause severe plant damage by feeding, and can also bring about 5 undesirable soiling by slug and snail mucus and faeces. Changes in the management of crops (such as minimum tillage, direct drilling, and high organic matter build up in the soil) have led to increased population densities of slugs and snails and more severe damage on crops. The obligation to dispense with burning stubble fields - which is based on an ecological approach - and to manage the straw through other ways suggests that the existing mollusc problems,
- Slugs feed vigorously above and below the surface on seeds, growing points, shoots and roots along with other organic matter they can find.
- the present invention provides a method of improving the growing characteristics of a plant, which method comprises treating a propagation material of the plant with a combination comprising (I) one or more of (i) one or more of a neonicotin ⁇ id, (ii) one or more of a pyrethroid, (iii) one or more of a macrolide, and (iv) one or more of a defined bisamide compound, and (II) one or more of metaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde and 3,5, dimethoxycinnamic acid, and optionally one or more customary formulation auxiliaries.
- the present invention provides a plant propagation material treated with the combination defined in the first aspect.
- a plant propagation material preferably seed, more preferably a moilusicidal seed, treatment composition is made available.
- the present invention is believed to prevent damage to the plant propagation material and plant organs that grow at later point in time by molluscs, and thus improve the growth characteristics of the plant through improved control of such molluscs. Accordingly, in a further aspect the present invention provides a method of protecting plant propagation material and plant organs that grow at a later point in time against damage by molluscs, which method comprises treating the propagation material with the combination comprising (I) one or more of (i) one or more of a neonicotinoid, (ii) one or more of a pyrethroid, (iii) one or more of a macrolide, and (iv) one or more of a defined bisamide compound, and (II) one or more of metaldehyde, methiocarb, thiodicarb, cinnamaldehyde and 3,5, dimethoxycinnamic acid, and optionally one or more customary formulation auxiliaries.
- the combinations of the invention are preventatively and/or curatively valuable active ingredients with a very favourable biocidal spectrum in the field of mollusc control, even at low use concentrations, and are well tolerated by warm blooded species, fish and plants.
- the combinations of the invention make it possible to treat seeds and other plant propagation materials with lower amounts of acutely toxic biocides than is known from the prior art.
- the combinations of the invention are active against all or individual developmental stages of normally sensitive, but also resistant, molluscs. Using the combination, it is possible to control, i.e., contain or destroy, mollusc damage in particular on plants, mainly on useful plants and ornamentals in agriculture, in horticulture and in forests.
- the molluscicidal action of the combinations of the invention according to the invention correspond to reduction of the damage caused by molluscs to plant propagation material and plant organs that grow at a later point in time and may manifest (i) directly, i.e., in destruction of the molluscs, either immediately or only after some time has elapsed, or indirectly, for example in a reduced oviposition and/or hatching rate, the good action corresponding to a destruction rate (mortality) of at least 50 to 60%, or (ii) through repellancy of the molluscs, for example, by a reduction in the seed hollowing, and any signs of changes in the mollusc behaviour, such as paralysis, reduced movement, swellings or deformation, or (iii) through a combination of (i) and
- the improvement in the growing (or growth) characteristics of a plant can manifest in a number of different ways, but ultimately it results in a better product of the plant. It can, for example, manifest in improving the yield and/or vigour of the plant or quality of the harvested product from the plant.
- the phrase "improving the yield" of a plant relates to an increase in the yield of a product of the plant by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the subject method. It is preferred that the yield be increased by at least about 0.5%, more preferred that the increase be at least about 1 %, even more preferred is about 2%, and yet more preferred is about 4%, or more.
- Yield can be expressed in terms of an amount by weight or volume of a product of the plant on some basis. The basis can be expressed in terms of time, growing area, weight of plants produced, amount of a raw material used, or the like.
- the phrase "improving the vigour" of a plant relates to an increase or improvement of the vigour rating, or the stand (the number of plants per unit of area), or the plant height, or the plant canopy, or the visual appearance (such as greener leaf colour), or the root rating, or emergence, or protein content, or increased tillering, or bigger leaf blade, or less dead basal leaves, or stronger tillers, or less fertilizer needed, or less seeds needed, or more productive tillers, or earlier flowering, or early grain maturity, or less plant verse (lodging), or increased shoot growth, or earlier germination, or any combination of these factors, or any other advantages familiar to a person skilled in the art, by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the subject method.
- the present method results in an increase in either the yield, as described above, or the vigor of the plant, as described above, or both the yield and the vigor of the plant.
- a single pesticide may have activity in more than area of pest control, for example, a pesticide may have fungicide, insecticide and nematicide activity.
- fungicide insecticide and nematicide activity
- aldicarb is known for insecticide, acaricide and nematicide activity
- metam is known for insecticide, herbicide, fungicide and nematicide activity
- thiabendazole and captan can provide nematicide and fungicide activity.
- the molluscs include, for example, Ampullariidae; Arion (A. ater, A. circumscriptus, A. hortensis,
- A. rufus Bradybaenidae (Bradybaena fruticum); Cepaea (C. hortensis, C. Nemoralis); ochlodina; Deroceras (D. agrestis, D. empiricorum, D. laeve, D. reticulatum); Discus (D. rotundatus); Euomphalia; Galba (G. trunculata); Helicelia (H. itala, H. obvia); Helicidae
- Helicigona arbustorum Helicodiscus; Helix (H. aperta); Umax (L cinereoniger, L flavus, L. marginatus, L. maximus, L. tenellus); Lymnaea; Milax (M. gagates, M. marginatus, M. sowerbyi); Opeas; Pomacea (P. canaticulata); Vallonia and Zanitoides.
- the combinations according to the present invention are particularly effective against Deroceras, such as
- the treatment could vary from a thin film (such as a dressing) of the formulation containing the active ingredient(s) on a plant propagation material, such as a seed, where the original size and/or shape are recognizable to a thick film (such as a coating or pelleting with many layers of different materials (such as carriers, for example, clays; different formulations, such as of other active ingredients; polymers; and colourants) where the original shape and/or size of the seed is no longer recognisable.
- the active ingredients are adhered to the propagation material, such a seed.
- the treated propagation material consequently, demonstrates resistance to molluscs and pests as a result of the treatment.
- the combination of (I) and (II) can be treated or applied simultaneously, or sequentially, in any order, on to the propagation material. Similarly if there is more than one active ingredient in (I) or (II), then those active ingredients can be treated simultaneously, or sequentially, in any order, on to the propagation material.
- Methods for applying pesticides on to propagation material, especially seeds, are known in the art, and include dressing, coating, pelleting and soaking application methods of the propagation material.
- plant propagation material is understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant, such as seeds, which can be used for the multiplication of the latter and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (for example, potatoes).
- vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (for example, potatoes).
- the seeds in the strict sense
- roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes parts of plants.
- Germinated plants and young plants which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from the soil, may also be mentioned. These young plants may be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion.
- the propagation material is a seed.
- the present method can be applied to a seed in any physiological state, it is preferred that the seed be in a sufficiently durable state that it incurs no damage during the treatment process.
- the seed would be a seed that had been harvested from the field; removed from the plant; and separated from any cob, stalk, outer husk, and surrounding pulp or other non-seed plant material.
- the seed would preferably also be biologically stable to the extent that the treatment would cause no biological damage to the seed. It is believed that the treatment can be applied to the seed at any time between harvest of the seed and sowing of the seed or during the sowing process (seed directed applications).
- the seed may also be primed either before or after the treatment.
- the seed treatment occurs to an unsown seed, and the term "unsown seed” is meant to include seed at any period between the harvest of the seed and the sowing of the seed in the ground for the purpose of germination and growth of the plant. Treatment to an unsown seed is not meant to include those practices in which the pesticide is applied to the soil but would include any application practice that would target the seed during the planting process.
- the treatment occurs before sowing of the seed so that the sown seed has been pre-treated with (I) and (II).
- seed coating or seed pelleting are preferred in the treatment of the combinations according to the invention.
- the weight ratio of (I) to (II) and amount used on the propagation material varies according to specific active ingredient (e.g., abamectin is generally applied at a lower rate than thiamethoxam), type of propagation material (e.g., seed or tuber) and plant (for example, wheat seeds generally have less active ingredients adhered thereto than oil seed rape seeds based on equivalent weight of seeds) and is such that the combinations are an effective amount to provide the desired molluscicidal action and can be determined by biology trials.
- specific active ingredient e.g., abamectin is generally applied at a lower rate than thiamethoxam
- type of propagation material e.g., seed or tuber
- plant for example, wheat seeds generally have less active ingredients adhered thereto than oil seed rape seeds based on equivalent weight of seeds
- the weight ratio of (I) to (II) is generally selected as to give the desired, for example synergistic, action.
