Abstract

The novel active ingredient combinations, which consist of tetramic acid derivatives on the one hand and beneficial organisms (natural enemies) on the other hand, have very good insecticidal and/or acaricidal properties.

Description

 Drug combinations with insecticidal and acaricidal properties

The present invention relates to novel drug combinations which consist of known tetramic acid derivatives on the one hand and uses (natural enemies) on the other hand and are very well suited for controlling animal pests such as insects and / or unwanted acarids.

It is already known that certain cyclic ketoenols possess herbicidal, insecticidal and acaricidal properties. The effectiveness of these substances is good, but leaves at low application rates in some cases to be desired.

NH tetramic acid derivatives are known from (EP-A-442 073) and 1H-arylpyrrolidine dione derivatives (EP-A-456 063, EP-A-521 334, EP-A-596 298, EP-A-613 884 , EP-A-613 885, WO 95/01 971, WO 95/26 954, WO 95/20 572, EP-A-0 668 267, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 97/43275, WO 98/05638, WO 98/06721, WO 98/25928, WO 99/24437, WO 99/43649, WO 99/48869 and WO 99 / 55673, WO 01/17972, WO 01/23354, WO 01/74770, WO 03/013249, WO 03/062244, WO 2004/007448, WO 2004/024688, WO 04/065366, WO 04/080962, WO 04 / 111042, WO 05/044791, WO 05/044796, WO 05/048710, WO 05/049569, WO 05/066125, WO 05/092897, WO 06/000355, WO 06/029799, WO 06/056281, WO 06 / 056282, WO 06/089633, WO 07/048545, DEA 102 00505 9892, WO 07/073856, WO 07/096058, WO 07/121868, WO 07/140881, WO 08/067873, WO 08/067910, WO 08 / 067911, WO 08/138551, WO 09/015801, WO09 / 039975, WO 09/049851, WO 09/115262, EP-A1992614, EP-07113674, EP-07117104). In addition, ketal-substituted 1H-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-diones from WO 99/16748 and (spiro) ketal-substituted N-alkoxy-alkoxy-substituted aryl-pyrrolidinediones are found in JP-A-14 205 984 and Ito M. et al. Bioscience , Biotechnology and Biochemistry 67, 1230-1238, (2003).

In addition, the use of certain tetramic acid derivatives for controlling insects and spider mites in combination with uses of WO 07/144086 is known.

Furthermore, it is already known that numerous beneficial insects are used for controlling insects and spider mites "Knowing and recognizing; MH Malais, WJ. Ravensberg publishes by Koppert BV, Reed Business Information (2003). However, the use of uses alone is not always satisfactory. Benefits are usually referred to as arachnids or insects that are useful to humans in some way, mainly because they need other insects, which in turn are called pests, as food or as hosts. However, the term "beneficials" is not limited to arachnids and insects. In the present case, it also includes fungi or bacterial or viral strains suitable for pest control. Beneficial insects are particularly suitable for pest control in greenhouses. The use of uses has the advantage that no resistance forms, that there are no waiting times for cultural and nursing measures as well as harvesting. In addition, the use of the beneficial organisms does not put any strain on users with pesticides.

For pest control, a sufficient amount of uses at the site of action (e.g., in the greenhouse) is released or inoculated. The beneficial insects are usually used only when pest infestation (curative). Because beneficial insects are the natural enemies of the pests to be controlled, their spectrum of activity is often limited to the specific pest and sometimes even only to specific stages of development of these pests. However, since within a culture also several pest species with different control requirements, such as e.g. When the time of onset, the type of beneficial insect and the beneficial insect climate can occur, the culture must be regularly monitored and requires a rapid reaction in case of infestation. The user also needs intensive knowledge of the culture, pests and beneficials.

If the pest infestation is detected too late and therefore the pest population is too proliferated, beneficial insects alone are no longer sufficient for pest control, which is why a combined use of the beneficial insects with chemical pesticides is necessary.

Surprisingly, the insecticidal and / or acaricidal action of the active compound-beneficial agent combinations according to the invention is better than the effects of the individual active substance and the beneficials alone. There is an unpredictable increase in efficiency.

Furthermore, it has been found that with the active compound / beneficial agent combinations according to the invention it is possible to replace applications of toxicologically and / or ecologically unfavorable active substances while maintaining a comparable effect, which benefits, above all, the safety of the users and / or the environment. In addition, it has been found that spray sequences can be saved.

Active substance / beneficial agent combinations within the meaning of the present invention are also those combinations in which the use of at least one active substance of the formula (I) on the one hand and at least one use on the other hand takes place temporally and / or spatially separately. Thus, the active ingredient of the formula (I) can be used in the soil or in bottomless substrates and for use on the plant - or vice versa. Active substance / beneficial agent combinations according to the invention are also present if the use is already present before the treatment of the plant and the equilibrium between pest and utilization is shifted in favor of the beneficial insect by the treatment with an active compound of the formula (I).

Accordingly, the invention also relates to the use of at least one active substance of the formula (I) in combination with uses.

According to the invention, all plants and parts of plants can be treated. In this context, plants are understood as meaning all plants and plant populations, such as desired and undesired wild plants or crop plants (including naturally occurring crop plants). Crop plants can be plants which can be obtained by conventional breeding and optimization methods or by biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or combinations of these methods, including the transgenic plants and including the plant varieties which can or can not be protected by plant breeders' rights. Plant parts are to be understood as meaning all aboveground and subterranean parts and organs of the plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, examples of which include leaves, needles, stems, stems, flowers, fruiting bodies, fruits and seeds, and roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include crops and vegetative and generative propagation material, such as cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, offshoots and seeds.

The treatment according to the invention of the plants and plant parts with the active substance / beneficial agent combination takes place directly or by acting on their environment, habitat or storage space according to the usual treatment methods, eg by dipping, spraying, evaporating, Vimpling, spreading, brushing, injecting and propagating material, especially in seeds, further by single or multi-layer wrapping and the addition of beneficial organisms.

As already mentioned above, according to the invention all plants and their parts can be treated. In a preferred embodiment, wild species or plant species obtained by conventional biological breeding methods, such as crossing or protoplast fusion, and plant varieties and their parts are treated.

The treatment method of the invention is preferably used on genetically modified organisms such as plants or plant parts.

Genetically modified plants, so-called transgenic plants, are plants in which a heterologous gene has been stably integrated into the genome.

The term "heterologous gene" essentially refers to a gene which is provided or assembled outside the plant and which, when introduced into the nuclear genome, chloroplast genome or hypochondriacal genome, imparts new or improved agronomic or other properties to the transformed plant Expressing protein or polypeptide or that it is downregulating or shutting down another gene present in the plant or other genes present in the plant (for example by antisense technology, cosuppression technology or RNAi technology [RNA Interference]). A heterologous gene present in the genome is also referred to as a transgene. A transgene defined by its specific presence in the plant genome is referred to as a transformation or transgenic event.

Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location and their growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to the invention can also lead to superadditive ("synergistic") effects. Thus, for example, the following effects are possible, which go beyond the expected effects: reduced application rates and / or extended spectrum of action and / or increased efficacy of the active ingredients and compositions that can be used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low Temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or water or soil salinity, increased flowering, harvest relief, ripening, higher yields, larger fruits, greater plant height, intense green color of the leaf, earlier flowering, higher quality and / or higher nutritional value of the harvested products, higher sugar concentration in the fruits, better storage and / or processability of the harvested products.

At certain application rates, the active compound-beneficial agent combinations according to the invention can also exert a strengthening effect on plants. They are therefore suitable for mobilizing the plant defense system against attack by undesirable phytopathogenic fungi and / or microorganisms and / or viruses. This may optionally be one of the reasons for the increased effectiveness of the combinations according to the invention, for example against fungi. Plant-strengthening (resistance-inducing) substances in the present context should also mean those substances or combinations of substances which are able to stimulate the plant defense system such that the treated plants, when subsequently inoculated with undesirable phytopathogenic fungi and / or microorganisms and / or viruses a considerable degree of resistance to these unwanted phytopathogenic fungi and / or microorganisms and / or viruses. In the present case, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and viruses are understood to be undesirable phytopathogenic fungi and / or microorganisms and / or viruses. The substances according to the invention can therefore be employed for the protection of plants against attack by the mentioned pathogens within a certain period of time after the treatment. The period of time over which a protective effect is achieved generally extends from 1 to 10 days, preferably 1 to 7 days, after the treatment of the plants with the active-beneficial agent combinations.

Plants which are further preferably treated according to the invention are resistant to one or more biotic stressors, i. H. These plants have an improved defense against animal and microbial pests such as nematodes, insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria, viruses and / or viroids.

In addition to the aforementioned plants and plant varieties, those which are resistant to one or more abiotic stress factors may also be treated according to the invention.

Abiotic stress conditions may include, for example, drought, cold and heat conditions, osmotic stress, waterlogging, increased soil salt content, increased exposure to minerals, ozone conditions, high light conditions, limited availability of nitrogen nutrients, limited availability of phosphorous nutrients, or avoidance of shade.

Plants and plant varieties which can also be treated according to the invention are those plants which are characterized by increased yield properties. An increased yield can in these plants z. B. based on improved plant physiology, improved plant growth and improved plant development, such as water efficiency, Wasserhalteeffϊcienz, improved nitrogen utilization, increased carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germination and accelerated Abreife. The yield may be further influenced by improved plant architecture (under stress and non-stress conditions), including early flowering, flowering control for hybrid seed production, seedling vigor, plant size, internode count and spacing, root growth, seed size, fruit size, Pod size, pod or ear number, number of seeds per pod or ear, seed mass, increased seed filling, reduced seed drop, reduced pod popping and stability. Other income characteristics include Seed composition such as carbohydrate content, protein content, oil content and oil composition, nutritional value, reduction of nontoxic compounds, improved processability and improved shelf life.

Plants which can be treated according to the invention are hybrid plants which already express the properties of heterosis or hybrid effect, which generally leads to higher yield, higher vigor, better health and better resistance to biotic and abiotic stress factors. Such plants are typically produced by crossing an inbred male sterile parental line (the female crossover partner) with another inbred male fertile parent line (the male crossbred partner). The hybrid seed is typically harvested from the male sterile plants and sold to propagators. Pollen sterile plants can sometimes be produced (eg in maize) by delaving (i.e., mechanically removing male genitalia or male flowers); however, it is more common for male sterility to be due to genetic determinants in the plant genome. In this case, especially when the desired product, as one wants to harvest from the hybrid plants, is the seeds, it is usually beneficial to ensure that the pollen fertility in hybrid plants containing the genetic determinants responsible for male sterility , completely restored. This can be accomplished by ensuring that the male crossing partners possess appropriate fertility restorer genes capable of restoring pollen fertility in hybrid plants containing the genetic determinants responsible for male sterility. Genetic determinants of pollen sterility may be localized in the cytoplasm. Examples of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) have been described, for example, for Brassica species. However, genetic determinants of pollen sterility may also be localized in the nuclear genome. Pollen sterile plants can also be obtained using plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering. A particularly convenient means of producing male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396, wherein, for example, a ribonuclease such as a barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. The fertility can then be restorated by expression of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar in the tapetum cells.

Plants or plant varieties (obtained by methods of plant biotechnology, such as genetic engineering) which can be treated according to the invention are herbicide-tolerant plants, i. H. Plants tolerant to one or more given herbicides. Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation conferring such herbicide tolerance.

Herbicide-tolerant plants are, for example, glyphosate-tolerant plants, ie plants that have been tolerated to the herbicide glyphosate or its salts. So can For example, glyphosate-tolerant plants are obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvyl-shikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant CT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium, the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp. , the genes that code for an EPSPS from the petunia, for an EPSPS from the tomato or for an EPSPS from Eleusine. It can also be a mutated EPSPS. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene encoding a glyphosate oxidoreductase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene encoding a glyphosate acetyltransferase enzyme. Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants which select for naturally occurring mutations of the above mentioned genes.

Other herbicide-resistant plants are, for example, plants which have been tolerated to herbicides which inhibit the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinotricin or glufosinate. Such plants can be obtained by expressing an enzyme which detoxifies the herbicide or a mutant of the enzyme glutamine synthase, which is resistant to inhibition. Such an effective detoxifying enzyme is, for example, an enzyme encoding a phosphinotricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species). Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinotricin acetyltransferase have been described.

Further herbicide-tolerant plants are also plants tolerant to the herbicides which inhibit the enzyme hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). The hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenases are enzymes that catalyze the reaction in which para-hydroxyphenylpyruvate (HPP) is converted to homogentisate. Plants tolerant of HPPD inhibitors can be transformed with a gene encoding a naturally occurring resistant HPPD enzyme or a gene encoding an imitated HPPD enzyme. Tolerance to HPPD inhibitors can also be achieved by transforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes that allow the formation of homogentisate despite inhibition of the native HPPD enzyme by the HPPD inhibitor. The tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors can also be improved by transforming plants with a gene coding for a prephenate dehydrogenase enzyme in addition to a gene coding for an HPPD-tolerant enzyme.

Other herbicide-resistant plants are plants that have been tolerated to acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors. Examples of known ALS inhibitors include sulfonylurea, imidazolinone, triazolopyrimidines, pyrimidinyloxy (thio) benzoates and / or sulfonylaminocarbonyltriazolinone herbicides. It is known that various mutations in the enzyme ALS (also known as acetohydroxy acid synthase, AHAS) have a tolerance to different herbicides or groups of herbicides. The preparation of sulfonylurea tolerant plants and imidazolinone tolerant plants is described in International Publication WO 1996/033270. Further sulfonylurea and imidazolinone tolerant plants are also described in eg WO 2007/024782.

Other plants tolerant to imidazolinone and / or sulfonylurea can be obtained by induced mutagenesis, selection in cell cultures in the presence of the herbicide or by mutation breeding.

Plants or plant varieties (obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering) which can also be treated according to the invention are insect-resistant transgenic plants, i. Plants that have been made resistant to attack by certain target insects. Such plants can be obtained by genetic transformation or by selection of plants containing a mutation conferring such insect resistance.

5) an insecticidal secreted protein from Bacillus thuringiensis or Bacillus cereus or an insecticidal part thereof, such as the vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIPs) available at http://www.lifesci.sussex.ac.uk/home/ Neil_Crickmore / Bt / vip.html are cited, e.g. B. Proteins of protein class VIP3Aa; or

Coding for an insecticidal protein), such as the protein VIP3Aa in the cotton event COT 102.

Of course, insect-resistant transgenic plants in the present context also include any plant comprising a combination of genes encoding the proteins of any of the above classes 1 to 8. In one embodiment, an insect-resistant plant contains more than one transgene encoding a protein of any one of the above 1 to 8 in order to extend the spectrum of the corresponding target insect species or to delay the development of resistance of the insects to the plants by use different proteins which are insecticidal for the same target insect species, but have a different mode of action, such as binding to different receptor binding sites in the insect.

Particularly useful transgenic plants that can be treated according to the invention are plants that contain transformation events, or a combination of transformation events, and that are listed, for example, in the files of various national or regional authorities (see, for example, http: // /gmoinfo.jrc.it/gmp_browse.aspx and http://www.agbios.com/dbase.php).

The active ingredient / beneficial agent combinations can be converted into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, water- and oil-based suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, soluble granules, scattering granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, active substance-impregnated Natural substances, active substance-impregnated synthetic substances, fertilizers and Feinstverkapselungen in polymeric materials.

These formulations are prepared in a known manner, e.g. by mixing the active compounds with extenders, ie liquid solvents and / or solid carriers, if appropriate using surface-active agents, ie emulsifiers and / or dispersants and / or foam-forming agents. The preparation of the formulations is carried out either in suitable systems or before or during use.

Excipients which can be used are those which are suitable for imparting special properties to the composition itself and / or preparations derived therefrom (for example spray liquor, seed dressing), such as certain technical properties and / or specific biological properties. Typical auxiliaries are: extenders, solvents and carriers.

Suitable extenders include, for example, water, polar and non-polar organic chemical liquids, for example from the classes of aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons (such as paraffins, alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, chlorobenzenes), alcohols and polyols (which may also be substituted, etherified and / or be esterified), ketones (such as acetone, cyclohexanone), esters (including fats and oils) and (poly) ethers, simple and substituted amines, amides, Lactams (such as N-alkyl pyrrolidones) and lactones, sulfones and sulfoxides (such as dimethyl sulfoxide).

In the case of using water as an extender, e.g. also organic solvents as

Auxiliary solvents can be used. Suitable liquid solvents are essentially: aromatics, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalene, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, e.g. Petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols, such as butanol or glycol, and their ethers and esters,

Ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, and water.

Suitable solid carriers are:

e.g. Ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and synthetic ground flours, such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates, as solid carriers for granules are suitable: e.g. crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiohth, dolomite and synthetic granules of inorganic and organic flours and granules of organic matter such as paper, sawdust, coconut shells, corn cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and / or foam formers are: e.g. nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, e.g. Alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulfonates, alkyl sulfates, arylsulfonates and protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are non-ionic and / or ionic substances, e.g. from the classes of alcohol POE and / or POP ethers, acid and / or POP POE esters, alkyl aryl and / or POP POE ethers, fatty and / or POP POE adducts, POE and / or POP polyol derivatives, POE and / or POP sorbitol or sugar adducts, alkyl or aryl sulfates, sulfonates and phosphates or the corresponding PO ether adducts. Further suitable ego or polymers, e.g. starting from vinyl monomers, from acrylic acid, from EO and / or PO alone or in combination with e.g. (poly) alcohols or (poly) amines. It is also possible to use lignin and its sulfonic acid derivatives, simple and modified celluloses, aromatic and / or aliphatic sulfonic acids and their adducts with formaldehyde.

Adhesives such as carboxymethylcellulose, natural and synthetic powdery, granular or latex-shaped polymers can be used in the formulations, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phosphohpides such as cephalm and lecithins and synthetic phosphohpides. Dyes such as inorganic pigments such as iron oxide, titanium oxide, ferrocyan blue and organic dyes such as alizarin, azo and metal phthalocyanine dyes and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc can be used.

Other additives may be fragrances, mineral or vegetable optionally modified oils, waxes and nutrients (also trace nutrients), such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.

Stabilizers such as cold stabilizers, preservatives, antioxidants, light stabilizers or other chemical and / or physical stability-improving agents may also be present.

The formulations generally contain between 0.01 and 98% by weight of active ingredient, preferably between 0.5 and 90%.

The active compound-beneficial agent combination according to the invention can be used in its commercial formulations as well as in the formulations prepared from these formulations in admixture with other active ingredients such as insecticides, attractants, sterilants, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances, herbicides, safeners, fertilizers or semiochemicals available.

The active substance content of the application forms prepared from the commercial formulations can vary within wide ranges. The active ingredient concentration of the application forms may be from 0.0000001 to 95% by weight of active ingredient, preferably between 0.0001 and 20% by weight.

The application is done in a custom forms adapted to the application forms.

The plants listed can be treated particularly advantageously according to the invention with the active compound-beneficial agent combinations according to the invention.

The good insecticidal and / or acaricidal action of the active compound-beneficial agent combinations according to the invention is evident from the examples below. While the individual active ingredients have weaknesses in their effect, the beneficial agent-beneficial combinations show an effect that goes beyond the simple effect. Calculation formula for the degree of killing of a combination of two active substances

The expected effect for a given combination of two drugs can be calculated (see Colby, S.R., "Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses of Herbicidal Combinations", Weeds 15, pages 20-22, 1967) as follows:

If

X the degree of killing, expressed in% of the untreated control, when using the active substance A at a rate of application of m ppm or g / ha,

Y is the degree of killing, expressed in% of the untreated control, when the beneficial agent B is used in a defined amount n,

E the degree of kill, expressed as% of untreated control, when using the

Active ingredient A and the beneficial agent B in application rates of m ppm or g / ha and the amount n,

X x Y then E = X + Y 100

If the actual insecticidal kill rate is greater than calculated, the combination is over-additive in its kill, ie, there is a synergistic effect. In this case, the actually observed kill rate must be greater than the expected kill rate (E) value calculated from the above formula.

Example A

Myzus persicae test (Drench application) Solvent: 7 parts by weight of dimethylformamide Emulsifier: 2 parts by weight of alkylaryl polyglycol ether

To prepare a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the indicated amounts of solvent and emulsifier, and the concentrate is diluted with emulsifier-containing water to the desired concentration.

Cabbages (ßrassica oleraceά) that are heavily infested with the green pepper aphid {Myzus persicae) are treated by casting with the preparation of active compound in the desired concentration.

The predatory bugs (Macrolophus caliginosus) are given 3 days after the application in a defined amount.

After the desired time, the kill of the pest is determined in%. 100% means that all aphids have been killed; 0% means that no aphids have been killed.

The determined kill values are calculated according to the Colby formula (see page 1).

In this test, z. B. the following drug - robbery bug - combination according to the present application a synergistically enhanced efficacy compared to the individually applied components:
