Definitions

• Active compound combinations comprising specific tetramic acid derivatives
• the invention is in the technical field of crop protection compositions which can be used simultaneously against harmful plants and animal pests such as insects/spider mites, for example in crop plants, and comprise, as active compounds, a combination of at least one insecticide/acaricide and at least one herbicide and, if appropriate, additionally crop plant compatibility-increasing substances (safeners).
• WO 07/068428 it is known that the insecticidal/acaricidal activities of tetramic acid derivatives can be improved by adding adjuvants. Also known are the effects of herbicidally active tetramic acid derivatives in combination with other herbicides, for example from WO 06/024411 and WO 09/007014.
• the activity of these insecticides/acaricides against animal pests in the crop plants is on a high level; however, it generally depends on the application rate, the formulation in question, the respective animal pests to be controlled, the climatic and soil conditions, etc.
• a further criterium is the duration of action or the rate of degradation of the insecticide/acaricide.
• a lower application rate reduces not only the amount of active compound required for application but generally also reduces the amount of formulation auxiliaries required. Both reduce economic expense and improve the ecological compatibility of the insecticide/acaricide treatment.
• One way of improving the application profile of an insecticide/acaricide may be to combine the active compound with one or more herbicidally active compounds.
• the combined use of a plurality of active compounds in particular when insecticides are used together with herbicides, does not infrequently lead to phenomena of physical and biological imcompatibility, for example lacking stability of a coformulation, decomposition of an active compound or antagonism of the active compounds.
• what is desired are combinations of active compounds and/or formulations thereof having a favourable activity profile, high stability and, ideally, synergistically enhanced activity, which permits a reduction of the application rate compared with the individual application of the active compounds to be combined.

Increased yield in said plants can be the result of, for example, improved plant physiology, growth and development, such as water use efficiency, water retention efficiency, improved nitrogen use, enhanced carbon assimilation, improved photosynthesis, increased germination efficiency and accelerated maturation.

Examples of plants with the above-mentioned traits are non- exhaustively listed in Table A.
• Plants that may be treated according to the invention are hybrid plants that already express the characteristic of heterosis or hybrid vigor which results in generally higher yield, vigor, health and resistance towards biotic and abiotic stresses. Such plants are typically made by crossing an inbred male- sterile parent line (the female parent) with another inbred male-fertile parent line (the male parent). Hybrid seed is typically harvested from the male sterile plants and sold to growers. Male sterile plants can sometimes (e.g. in corn) be produced by detasseling, i.e. the mechanical removal of the male reproductive organs (or males flowers) but, more typically, male sterility is the result of genetic determinants in the plant genome.
• Male sterile plants can also be obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering.
• a particularly useful means of obtaining male-sterile plants is described in WO 89/10396 in which, for example, a ribonuclease such as barnase is selectively expressed in the tapetum cells in the stamens. Fertility can then be restored by expression in the tapetum cells of a ribonuclease inhibitor such as barstar (e.g. WO 91/02069).
• Plants or plant cultivars obtained by plant biotechnology methods such as genetic engineering
• Such plants can be obtained either by genetic transformation, or by selection of plants containing a mutation imparting such herbicide tolerance.
• Herbicide-resistant plants are for example glyphosate-tolerant plants, i.e. plants made tolerant to the herbicide glyphosate or salts thereof. Plants can be made tolerant to glyphosate through different means.
• glyphosate-tolerant plants can be obtained by transforming the plant with a gene encoding the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS).
• EPSPS 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase
• EPSPS 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase
• Examples of such EPSPS genes are the AroA gene (mutant CT7) of the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium (Comai et al., 1983, Science 221, 370-371), the CP4 gene of the bacterium Agrobacterium sp. (Barry et al., 1992, Curr.
• Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by expressing a gene that encodes a glyphosate acetyl transferase enzyme as described in for example WO 02/036782, WO 03/092360, WO 05/012515 and WO 07/024782.
• Glyphosate-tolerant plants can also be obtained by selecting plants containing naturally- occurring mutations of the above-mentioned genes, as described in for example WO 01/024615 or WO 03/013226. Plants expressing EPSPS genes that confer glyphosate tolerance are described in e.g.
• herbicide-resistant plants are for example plants that are made tolerant to herbicides inhibiting the enzyme glutamine synthase, such as bialaphos, phosphinothricin or glufosinate.
• Such plants can be - - obtained by expressing an enzyme detoxifying the herbicide or a mutant glutamine synthase enzyme that is resistant to inhibition, e.g. described in US Patent Application No 11/760,602.
• One such efficient detoxifying enzyme is an enzyme encoding a phosphinothricin acetyltransferase (such as the bar or pat protein from Streptomyces species).
• Plants expressing an exogenous phosphinothricin acetyltransferase are for example described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,561 ,236; 5,648,477; 5,646,024; 5,273,894; 5,637,489; 5,276,268; 5,739,082; 5,908,810 and 7,112,

• Tolerance to HPPD-inhibitors can also be obtained by transforming plants with genes encoding certain enzymes enabling the formation of homogentisate despite the inhibition of the native HPPD enzyme by the HPPD-inhibitor. Such plants and genes are described in WO 99/34008 and WO 02/36787. Tolerance of plants to HPPD inhibitors can also be improved by transforming plants with a gene encoding an enzyme having prephenate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity in addition to a gene encoding an HPPD-tolerant enzyme, as described in WO 2004/024928.
• PDH prephenate dehydrogenase
• plants can be made more tolerant to HPPD-inhibitor herbicides by adding into their genome a gene encoding an enzyme capable of metabolizing or degrading HPPD inhibitors, such as the CYP450 enzymes shown in WO 2007/103567 and WO 2008/150473.
• an enzyme capable of metabolizing or degrading HPPD inhibitors such as the CYP450 enzymes shown in WO 2007/103567 and WO 2008/150473.

Further sulphonylurea- and imidazolinone-tolerant plants are also described in for example WO 07/024782 and US Patent Application No. 61/288958.
• plants tolerant to imidazolinone and/or sulphonylurea can be obtained by induced mutagenesis, selection in cell cultures in the presence of the herbicide or mutation breeding as described for example for soya beans in U.S. Patent 5,084,082, for rice in WO 97/41218, for sugar beet in U.S. Patent 5,773,702 and ?
