NOVEL MIXTURES FOR CROP PROTECTION

RELATED APPLICATION/S

This application claims benefits of Indian Provisional Application No. 202111043563 filed on September 25, 2021; the entire content of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. Throughout this application, various publications are cited. Disclosures of the documents and publications referred to herein are hereby incorporated in their entireties by references into this application.

FIELD OF INVENTION

The present invention relates to mixture combinations of active compounds comprising, Tau-fluvalinate and at least one further crop protection chemical, and to methods of controlling pests comprising applying said combinations.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

The vulnerability of crops to pests, undesired weeds and fungi makes crop protection management one of the major components of the total crop production system. Various Insects and fungi along with the undesired weeds are very harmful to crop plants and can significantly reduce crop yields and qualities. Insecticides alone or in combination with fungicides and weedicides help minimize this damage by controlling threats to the crop. Many crop protection chemicals either of same class or of mixtures of different classes are commercially available for these purposes.

Combinations of insecticides or mixture of one or more insecticides with other crop protection chemical are typically used to broaden spectrum of control, to minimize the doses of chemicals used, to retard resistance development and to reduce the cost of the treatment through additive effect. Although many combinations of one insecticidal agent with one or more crop protection chemicals have been studied, a synergistic effect is rarely attained.

Practical agricultural experience has shown that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual active compound in the control of insect pests leads in many cases to a selection of those pests which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Effective control of these pests with the active compound in question is then no longer possible. Another difficulty in relation to the use of insecticides is that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual insecticidal compound leads in many cases to a rapid selection of pests which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Therefore there is a need for crop protection chemicals that help prevent or overcome resistance. In order to reduce the risk of insect pests becoming resistant to certain active compounds, mixtures of different crop protection chemicals are nowadays conventionally employed for controlling insect pests. By combining judiciously active compounds having different mechanisms of action, it is possible to ensure successful control over a relatively long period of time.

Tau-fluvaiinate, ((RS)-α -Cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl N-(2-chloro- α,α,α-trifluoro-p-tolyl)- D-valinate),

is described in “The E-Pesticide Manual” (Version 5.0.1, 2010, 15th Edition, Editor: CDS Tomlin)) Entry number 423, and is an acaricide (e.g. a miticide), that is commonly used to control varroa mites in honey bee colonies, infestations that constitute a significant disease of such insects.

Active agent mixtures are described in the literature. However, the control over the pests does not always satisfy the needs of agriculture practice. Additionally, the efficacy of mixtures is not entirely satisfactory in cases of pest control and/or toxicological and/or environmental effects. Random pesticidal compositions and mixtures do not exert a satisfactory controlling effect in most of the cases, and therefore, there is an urgent need for development of new pesticidal mixtures with one more crop protection chemical having some satisfactory controlling effects.

It is an object of the present invention to provide mixtures and compositions of judiciously selected crop protection chemicals which, when applied at a reduced total amount of active compounds, have improved activity against the harmful pests. It is an object of the present invention to provide a broadened activity spectrum or a combination of knock-down activity with prolonged control. It is a further object of the present invention to provide mixtures and compositions which provide effective resistance management and insect pests control, at application rates which are as low as possible.

It is an endeavor of the present invention to find that mixtures comprising Tau fluvalinate and at least one further crop protection chemical are synergistically effective, being applied simultaneously, that is jointly or separately, or in succession, allows better control of insect pests than is possible with the individual compounds alone, providing synergistic results and solving at least one of the challenges in the prior art by reducing the dosage rate or enhancing the spectrum of activity or combining knock-down activity with prolonged control or facilitating resistance management.

In light of the above, there is endeavor in the present invention for novel a mixture combination of crop protection chemicals that exhibit synergistically enhanced action, a broader scope of activity and reduced cost of treatment.

As used herein, the term “crop protection chemical” is meant to include, but are not limited to an herbicide, an insecticide, a fungicide, an insect growth regulator and a microbial disruptor. Insect growth regulators (IGR) are substances that interrupt and/or inhibit the life cycle of insect pests. IGRs include juvenile hormone mimics, ecdysone agonists and chitin synthesis inhibitors. As an insect grows, it molts, growing a new exoskeleton under its old one and then shedding the old one in order to allow the new one to swell to a new size and harden. IGRs prevent an insect from reaching maturity by interfering with the molting process.

As used herein, the term “pests” is used to include animal pests, as well as harmful fungi.

As used herein, the term “Al” refers to active ingredient.

As used herein, the terms “control” or “controlling” are meant to include, but are not limited to, any killing, growth regulating, inhibiting or interfering with the normal life cycle of the pest activities of a given pest.

Unless otherwise specified, references to percentages are by weight (wt.) percentages of the active compounds in the composition of this invention are based on the total weight of active ingredients in the composition, i.e., the active compounds themselves, exclusive of any amounts of solvents, carriers, dispersants, stabilizers or other materials which may be present.

It is further understood that where a parameter range is provided, all integers within that range, and tenths thereof, are also provided by the subject matter. For example, “0.1% to 50%” includes 0.1 %, 0.2 %, 0.3 %, 0.4 % etc. up to 50 %.

When a ratio herein is to be “X:1 or higher”, it is meant that the ratio is Y:l, where Y is X or greater, and when a ratio is herein to be “X:1 or lower”, it is meant that the ratio is Z:l, where Z is X or less. The same logic follows for ratios that are “1:X or higher” and “1:X or lower”. Pesticidal Mixtures

It has been surprisingly found that by combining Tau fluvalinate with one or more crop protection chemicals, mixture combinations are produced, that exhibit a broad spectrum of control and high efficacy against a very wide range of insects, as well as having knock-down and long residual effect under different climate conditions. The mixtures and compositions of the present invention are based in part on the finding that application of the mixture combination of the present invention to a locus or area where pest control is desired results in improved control of pests and prevents further infestation.

In some embodiments, the combination provides a higher insecticidal activity than that envisaged on the basis of the sum of activities of each of the insecticides found therein.

The following representative examples illustrate the practice of the present invention in some of its embodiments but should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Other embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art from consideration of the specification and examples. It is intended that the specification, including the examples, is considered exemplary only without limiting the scope and coverage of the invention.

In some embodiments, the mixture or synergistic mixture comprises one or more additional active ingredient. In some embodiments, the mixture or synergistic mixture comprises one or more additional non-active ingredients.

While the present disclosure of the invention may be susceptible to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiments have been described by way of example in detail herein. However, it is understood that the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the particular forms disclosed. Rather, the present disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the scope of the present disclosure as defined by the following claims and their legal equivalents.

EXAMPLES

Experiments were carried out to determine the synergistic effect of the mixture combination which comprises a mixture of i) Tau-fluvalinate and ii) a crop protection chemical compound such as lambda-cyhalothrin, Acetamiprid, Spinetoram, Spinosad, Afidopyropen, Diafenthiuron, Bifenazate, Fenpyroximate, Tolfenpyrad, Clofentezine, Diflovidazin, Etoxazole, Hexythiazox, Cyclaniliprole, Pyriproxyfen, Novaluron, Pyridalyl, Bacillus thuringiensis toxin and Triflumezopyrim.

A mixture combination may be prepared by thoroughly mixing Tau-fluvalinate (weight %) with a crop protection chemical compound such as lambda-cyhalothrin, Acetamiprid, Spinetoram, Spinosad, Afidopyropen, Diafenthiuron, Bifenazate, Fenpyroximate, Tolfenpyrad, Clofentezine, Diflovidazin, Etoxazole, Hexythiazox, Cyclaniliprole, Pyriproxyfen, Novaluron, Pyridalyl, Bacillus thuringiensis toxin and Triflumezopyrim (weight %).

Different concentrations of each of the active ingredients are applied to different species of insects. The percent controls are determined sometime after treatment.

A synergistic effect exists whenever the action of a combination of active ingredients is greater than the sum of the action of each of the ingredients alone. Therefore, a synergistic combination is a combination of active ingredients having an action that is greater than the sum of the action of each active ingredient alone, and a synergistically effective amount is an effective amount of a synergistic combination.

Colby’s method is used to determine if synergy exists for a combination of active ingredients. According to Colby, the expected action (E) of active ingredients A+B is:

AB

100 where E = expected efficacy, A and B = the efficacy of two active ingredients A and B at a given dose.

When the percentage of control observed (O) for the combination is greater than the expected (E) percentage, there is a synergistic effect. The synergism ratio (R) is calculated as the ratio between the expected values and observed values. If the synergism ratio (R) between observed and expected is >1 then synergy is exhibited, if R=1 then the effect is additive and if R<1 then the mix is antagonistic.

For a more detailed description of the Colby formula, see Colby, S. R. “Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combination,” Weeds, Vol. 15, pages 20-22; 1967; see also Limpel et al., Proc. NEWCC 16: 48-53 (1962).

The insecticidal compounds A (Tau fluvalinate) and B (mix partner) are formulated as equivalent compositions to eliminate the effects of differing formulation inerts on biological activity. Efficacy of the insecticidal compositions is evaluated with reference to a scale of 0% to 100% in comparison with untreated control plots. 0 means no damage and 100 means complete destruction of the harmful pests.

The experiments were conducted by applying commercially available formulations of Tau fluvalinate and other mixture partners, alone or with their tank-mixed compositions with the same weight ratio. The compositions were diluted with water or some other suitable solvents to the stated concentration of the active compounds.

The active ingredients used in the experiments are having following formulation types and the concentrations:

Each formulation with active ingredient is diluted with water or other suitable solvent(s) to the ppm (parts per million) level and biological efficacy trials on pests are conducted. following experimentations were done with various mixtures of Tau fluvalinate on different types of pests, the result of which are summarized in the below tables: Table 1: Tau fluvalinate + B. thuringensis

Table 2: Tau fluvalinate + Cyclaniliprole
