Definitions
- dimpropyridaz for reducing viral and bacterial transmission
- the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants and protecting plants from virial and bacterial diseases.
- Vectors are organisms that can introduce a pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria, into a plant, by feeding to cause an infection.
- Suitable vectors include hemipteran species including but not limited to, aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, planthoppers, treehoppers, thrips, mites, scales, mealybugs, spittlebugs, plant lice, and psyllids, which also cause direct feeding damage to plants.
- Disease transmission from vectors to plants is a widespread cause of plant damage, for which there are only few effective measures of control.
- Insecticides alone or in mixtures with other known pesticides, which may be used for reducing viral or bacterial infections transmitted by vectors (insects), are known.
- insecticides alone or in mixtures with other known pesticides, which may be used for reducing viral or bacterial infections transmitted by vectors (insects)
- mixtures containing pyrethroids and pirimicarb or tetramic acid derivatives for reducing viral infections transmitted by vectors (insects) is known from EP237227, and EP2011394.
- insecticides or insecticidal mixtures in terms of reducing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants is not always satisfactory. This is because the insect vectors are often capable of transmitting the virus or bacteria before the insecticides kill them. It is important to note that, as insect vectors, such as aphids for example, move through a plant and briefly probe, by the time an aphid receives a lethal dose of the insecticide, pathogen transmission will often be completed, and the damage already done. Thus, there is also a need for insecticides, which not only kill the insect vectors, but also cause a quick feeding cessation in insect vectors, which enables vectors to quickly reduce or cease their ability to acquire and transmit the virus before the plant is infected.
- insecticides agitate the insects and encourage greater movement and feeding, resulting in increased rates of viral and bacterial spread. Therefore, there is also a need for insecticides, which inhibit movement and/or feeding of the insect vectors before killing them.
- insecticides It is further generally desired to reduce dosage rates of insecticides, and therefore also in connection with combating insect vectors. Accordingly, there is also a need for insecticides, which can be applied in lower doses than conventional insecticides.
- dimpropyridaz is suitable for reducing or preventing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants. Dimpropyridaz controls insect vectors, particularly whiteflies, aphids, and leafhoppers, in all development stages.
- the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants.
- Non-persistent viruses and bacteria are transferred mechanically via the mouthparts of the insect vectors during feeding (stylet-borne).
- Non-persistent transmission is typically characterized by an acquisition time (time required by the insect vector to acquire the virus/bacteria) of seconds, an inoculation time (time required by the infectious insect vector to inoculate a plant) of seconds, a latent period (minimum time between acquisition of a virus/bacteria and ability to transmit) of zero, and a retention time (time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the virus/bacteria) of minutes to hours.
- the short inoculation time is of relevance.
- the low retention time prevents the spread of the virus/bacteria over long distances.
- the secondary spread of the virus/bacteria i.e. the spread of the virus/bacteria within a field via acquisition of the virus/bacteria by insect vectors from sources of virus/bacteria within the field and spread of the virus/bacteria by these afterwards infectious insect vectors, it is of particular relevance that there is no latent period, so that an insect vector, which has acquired the virus/bacteria from one plant, can directly transmit it to another plant.
- Persistent viruses include circulative viruses, which must systemically move within the insect body to be transmitted, and propagative viruses, which must replicate within the insect body to be transmitted. Persistent virus transmission is typically characterized by an acquisition time of minutes, an inoculation time of minutes, a latent period of one or more days, and a long retention time, which often lasts for the life of the insect. As the inoculation time is also rather short in case of persistent virus transmission, primary spread (before killed by insecticide) is an important problem in managing plant diseases.
- non-infected fields may also be infected due to insect migration from infected fields, which are far away.
- secondary spread of the virus or bacteria is delayed because the insect vector cannot directly transmit the virus or bacteria after acquisition.
- One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the spread of persistent virus and bacteria types.
- Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the primary spread of persistent virus and bacterium types through rapid feeding cessation.
- Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the secondary spread of persistent virus and bacterium types.
- One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the spread of non-persistent virus types.
- Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the primary spread of non- persistent virus types.
- Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the secondary spread of non-persistent virus types.
- Semi-persistent viruses frequently suppress plant defense responses, resulting in an increase of vector population and facilitating viral transmissions during vector outbreaks. In semi- persistent transmission, viruses are retained in the foreguts or salivary glands. Semi-persistent virus transmission is typically characterized by an acquisition time of minutes to hours, and a retention time of hours to days.
- insecticides other than dimpropyridaz often act too slowly to effectively reduce both, primary and secondary spread of the virus.
- insecticides In case of persistently transmitted viruses, insecticides often act too slowly to effectively reduce primary spread of the virus.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the primary spread of non-persistent and semi-persistent virus types.
- Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the secondary spread of non-persistent and semi-persistent virus types.
- insecticide effectively kills all insect vectors, or rapidly ceases feeding of the vectors.
- fast-killing insecticides may have negative effects to non-target arthropods and beneficials.
- the invention in another aspect, relates to a method for reducing or preventing transmission from insect vectors to plants, which method comprises applying dimpropyridaz to the insect vectors, crops, plants, plant propagation materials such as seeds, or soil or water, in which the plants are growing.
- One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing secondary spread.
- the invention in another aspect, relates to a method of protecting plants from viral and bacterial diseases which method comprises applying dimpropyridaz to the non-infected crops, plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, or soil or water, in which the plants are growing.
- the invention relates to the use or method for reducing or preventing transmission from insect vectors to plants, which use a method comprised of applying dimpropyridaz, or a stereoisomer, tautomer, salt, or N-oxide thereof to the plant.
- dimpropyridaz itself and its combined application with other insecticides are known to have shown activity against insect pests, it has not yet been known for solving virus and bacteria caused problems in plants as mentioned above.
- Salts of dimpropyridaz are preferably agriculturally and veterinarily acceptable salts. Such salts and their preparation are in general known from WO 2012/143317.
- Dimpropyridaz can be used in the form of its N-oxides. Its N-oxides are in general known from WO 2012/143317.
- Dimpropyridaz may be amorphous or may exist in one or more different crystalline states (polymorphs) which may have different macroscopic properties such as stability or show different biological properties such as activity.
- the invention includes the use of both amorphous and crystalline compounds, their enantiomers or diastereomers, mixtures of different crystalline states of dimpropyridaz, its enantiomers or diastereomers, as well as amorphous or crystalline salts thereof.
- Dimpropyridaz is suitable for reducing or preventing transmission from insect vectors to plants.
- virus transmission from insect vectors to plants refers to the introduction of a virus into a plant to cause an infection.
- Virus transmission is typically characterized by the acquisition time, i.e. the time required by the insect vector to acquire the virus, the inoculation time, i.e. the time required by infectious insect vectors to infect the plant, the latent period, i.e. the minimum time between acquisition of a virus and ability of the insect vector to transmit the virus, and the retention time, i.e. the time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the virus.
- the acquisition time i.e. the time required by the insect vector to acquire the virus
- the inoculation time i.e. the time required by infectious insect vectors to infect the plant
- the latent period i.e. the minimum time between acquisition of a virus and ability of the insect vector to transmit the virus
- the retention time i.e. the time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the virus.
- primary spread of the virus i.e. the initial spread of virus into a field by infectious insect vectors from sources outside the filed
- secondary spread of the virus i.e. the spread of the virus within a field via acquisition of the virus by insect vectors from sources of virus within the field and spread of the virus by these afterwards infectious insect vectors

- viral infection is typically caused by inoculation by an infectious insect vector.
- Virus transmission from insect vectors to plants typically causes viral infections.
- pathogen includes bacteria and viruses.
- virus or bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants refers to the introduction of a pathogens into a plant to cause an infection.
- Such transmission is typically characterized by the acquisition time, i.e. the time required by the insect vector to acquire the pathogen, the inoculation time, i.e. the time required by infectious insect vectors to infect the plant, the latent period, i.e. the minimum time between acquisition of a pathogen and ability of the insect vector to transmit the pathogen, and the retention time, i.e. the time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the bacteria.
- the acquisition time i.e. the time required by the insect vector to acquire the pathogen

- the latent period i.e. the minimum time between acquisition of a pathogen and ability of the insect vector to transmit the pathogen
- the retention time i.e. the time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the bacteria.
- Primary spread of the pathogens i.e., the initial spread of the pathogen into a field by infectious insect vectors from sources outside the filed, and/or secondary spread of the pathogen, i.e., the spread of the pathogen within a field via acquisition of the pathogen by insect vectors from sources of the pathogens within the field and spread of the pathogen by these afterwards infectious insect vectors, may be reduced.
- bacteria-infected or "bacterial infection” in connection with plants means that the plant has been infected with a bacterium.
- bacterial infection is typically caused by inoculation by an infectious insect vector.
- Bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants typically causes bacterial infections.
- plant refers to multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotic life-forms belonging to kingdom Plantae including crops.
- crop refers to plants grown for food or other commercial purposes.
- dimpropyridaz to crops is a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- infectious insect vector refers to an insect vector, which has acquired a virus and can transmit the virus, which means that the latent period is already over, but the retention time is not yet over. "Infectious insect vectors” may also be described as “viruliferous insect vectors”.
- non-infected in connection with plants means that the plant is healthy, i.e., not virus-infected.
- Non-infected plants may also be referred to as "virus-free plants”. Dimpropyridaz is preferably used in fields comprising exclusively non-infected plants focusing on the reduction or prevention of primary spread of viruses or in fields comprising virus- infected and non-infected plants focussing on the reduction or prevention of secondary spread of the virus.
- non-infectious in connection with an insect vector means that the insect vector is not capable of transmitting a virus, preferably that the insect vector has not even acquired a virus.
- contacting includes both direct contact (applying the compound/compositions directly on the animal pest or plant) and indirect contact (applying the compound/compositions to the locus). Maximal contact pertains to the application of dimpropyridaz to the pest and plant jointly. This method is used for insects that have reduced movement while feeding (aphids) or are sessile such as nymphal stages of whiteflies.
- Pesticidally effective amount means the amount of active ingredient needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention, and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism.

- Example 10 Disease transmission reduction and mortality on Dalbulus maidis control
- Insects that are vectors of two major pathogens leading to maize stunting in corn, Mollicutes bacteria, Spiroplasma kunkelli, and Maize bushy stunt phytoplasma can be a big problem for growers, since some time may pass before the insecticide kills the insect, during which the insect can transmit the disease to a healthy plant.
- the relation of bacteria vector of Dalbulus maidis is a persistent manner, which means, the insect can transmit or acquire the disease only if its feeds for a longer duration of time in the phloem vessel. In this case a good insecticide for disease vector, needs to kill the insect but moreover needs to quickly stop feeding activities to avoid disease transmission.
- ZEAMX Corn plants of Zea mays (ZEAMX) were planted using normal spacing for variety AG 8480 PRO3 (row spacing 0.5m and plant density 4 plant/m). Plots size was 6x6m (36m 2 ).
- Treatments were applied via foliar application five days after emergence and was repeated every 5 days. Total number of applications within trial period was seven. Spray volume was 120L/ha and nozzles used to do the application was XR 110.02, spacing between nozzles 0.5m and pression 2.5 bar. Average application time for full study ranged from -30-50 minutes.
- Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/L SL formulation compared to commercial standards tested: Thiamethoxam + Lambda cyhalothrin: Engeo® Pleno 141g/L+106g/L SC (Syngenta);
- Imidacloprid + Bifenthrin Galil® 300g/L SC (ADAMA) in the rates shown below. Different assessments were conducted throughout the trial period:
- NUMBER count number of insects alive in 15 central plants on the plot.
- INFECT Evaluate 15 central plants on the plot and evaluate according to scale of stunting symptomology severity. Scalel : plant without symptom
- Table 10-1 Results based on averages of replicates, subsamples per plot of: Efficacy (%) control of Dalbulus, Stunting symptomology severity (scale 1-6) and Harvest (kg/ha)
- dimpropyridaz at both 108 and 120gai/ha rates compared with commercial standards Key attributes noted by dimpropyridaz at both 108 and 120gai/ha rates compared with commercial standards are seen through the lower stunting symptomology severity response as well as higher total yield by weight kg/ha. Though thiamethoxam + lambda cyhalothrin resulted in higher percent efficacy control of dalbulus population throughout the study, it did not reduce symptomology severity or harvest kg/ha to the same level as dimpropyridaz. Dimpropyridaz at 108g ai/ha reduced severity of stunting symptoms by 2.5x and at 120gai/ha, 3x compared with the untreated control.
- EPG electrical penetration graph technique
- EPG recording has allowed the study of the stylet penetration activities of insect vectors in real time and facilitated correlation of the insect's probing activities with inoculation or acquisition of various plant pathogens (Prado & Tjalli ngii , Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 72: 157-165 (1994); Jiang et al., Annals of the Entomological Society of America 93, 573-579 (2000); Bonani et al., Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 134, 35-49 (2010)).

- Dalbulus maidis vector bacteria in a persistent manner which means, the insect can transmit or acquire the disease only if its feeds for a longer duration of time in the phloem vessel.
- a good insecticide for disease vector needs to kill the insect but moreover needs to stop feeding activities to avoid disease transmission.
- Treatments were applied via foliar application. 10 replicates per treatment, 1 insect per plant. Plants were sprayed at the recommended dose with an airbrush sprayer and after the plants dried, EPG plant setup was arranged. The corn leaf hoppers were immobilized under vacuum and cold plate, respectively and connected to a 17 pm, gold wire with the help of silver conductive paint.
- insects were connected to a copper electrode and to the DC-EPG device.
- a plant electrode was used to complete the circuit.
- EPG signals were acquired for each insect on a different plant and a minimum of 10 replicates per treatment was recorded, interpreted, and analysed. All behavioural variables were processed using the EPG-Excel data Worksheet developed internally.
- DC-EPG (Giga-8 dd) output was conducted during a continuous 24-hour recording.
- Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/L SL formulation compared to commercial standard Thiamethoxam + Lambda cyhalothrin: Engeo® Pleno 141g/L+106g/L SC (Syngenta). Rates of the test compounds:

When compared to control, verify clear changes in feeding behaviour throughout 24 hours were observed wherein dimpropyridaz reduced the total amount of time for phloem salivation and ingestion, 12x, 37x to 57x, 6.9x respectively.
- dimpropyridaz When dimpropyridaz was compared to Thiamethoxam + Lambda cyhalothrin, dimpropyridaz numerically reduced phloem salivation (E1) by about 2x as well as phloem ingestion (E2) by about 3x, confirming interference regarding corn leafhopper feeding behaviour.
- E1 phloem salivation
- E2 phloem ingestion
- Feeding cessation is a critical aspect regarding reduction of disease transmission amongst plant hosts. With differing impacts to insects based on coordination, active probing, feeding and mortality it is key to understand and relate results from EPG studies with a tangible and direct output of feeding.
- Honeydew is the sugary excrement as produced by piercing and sucking insects such as aphids and whiteflies and can be collected with water sensitive paper to correlate active feeding over an isolated range of time -24-48 hours. Amount of honeydew production is a direct representation of amount of feeding per hour. Even if insects are persisting on a plant and have not fully succumb to treatment reduction or inhibition of feeding during this period is essential for reduction in transmission of disease.
- Treatments were applied via foliar dip application wherein infested plants were dipped into solutions of predetermined rates (ppm ai or gai/ha) prepared by formulated compounds diluted in deionized water.

Description
Use of dimpropyridaz for reducing viral and bacterial transmission
Description
The invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants and protecting plants from virial and bacterial diseases.
1 -[( 1 F?S)-1 ,2-dimethylpropyl]-N-ethyl-5-methyl-N-pyridazin-4-yl-1 H-pyrazole-4-carboxamide of formula I:
is known from WO 2012/143317. This compound is mentioned to be useful for combating a broad variety of invertebrate pests. It is known under the common name dimpropyridaz.
Vectors are organisms that can introduce a pathogen, such as a virus or bacteria, into a plant, by feeding to cause an infection. Suitable vectors include hemipteran species including but not limited to, aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, planthoppers, treehoppers, thrips, mites, scales, mealybugs, spittlebugs, plant lice, and psyllids, which also cause direct feeding damage to plants. Disease transmission from vectors to plants is a widespread cause of plant damage, for which there are only few effective measures of control.
Up to now, no anti-viral agents are known for agricultural purposes. The only effective means for reducing viral infections transmitted by vectors is the control of the vectors, e.g., by using insecticides, which stops infestation before it happens. The use of antibiotics in agriculture is not commonly accepted because of its selective activity against only certain bacteria, as well as the nature of use, which can be only curative, once the disease is already present, and overarching implication to human health and antibiotic resistance.
Insecticides alone or in mixtures with other known pesticides, which may be used for reducing viral or bacterial infections transmitted by vectors (insects), are known. For example, the use of mixtures containing pyrethroids and pirimicarb or tetramic acid derivatives for reducing viral infections transmitted by vectors (insects) is known from EP237227, and EP2011394.
However, the effectiveness of these insecticides or insecticidal mixtures in terms of reducing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants is not always satisfactory.
This is because the insect vectors are often capable of transmitting the virus or bacteria before the insecticides kill them. It is important to note that, as insect vectors, such as aphids for example, move through a plant and briefly probe, by the time an aphid receives a lethal dose of the insecticide, pathogen transmission will often be completed, and the damage already done. Thus, there is also a need for insecticides, which not only kill the insect vectors, but also cause a quick feeding cessation in insect vectors, which enables vectors to quickly reduce or cease their ability to acquire and transmit the virus before the plant is infected. This quick feeding cessation in insect vectors by an appropriate insecticide not only helps in reducing the severity of disease on affected plants, but also helps in reducing the spread of disease to other plants in field. Hence, there is a need for insecticides, which effectively reduce or cease the ability of insect vectors to transmit the pathogen, if the insect control is not sufficiently effective.
We have found that this need is met by the application of dimpropyridaz to the plant.
Furthermore, it has been observed that some insecticides agitate the insects and encourage greater movement and feeding, resulting in increased rates of viral and bacterial spread. Therefore, there is also a need for insecticides, which inhibit movement and/or feeding of the insect vectors before killing them.
We have found that this need is met by application of dimpropyridaz to the crop.
It is further generally desired to reduce dosage rates of insecticides, and therefore also in connection with combating insect vectors. Accordingly, there is also a need for insecticides, which can be applied in lower doses than conventional insecticides.
We have found that this need is met by application of dimpropyridaz to the crop.
It is therefore the object of the invention to provide an insecticide which satisfies any of the above needs. Surprisingly, it has been found that dimpropyridaz is suitable for reducing or preventing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants. Dimpropyridaz controls insect vectors, particularly whiteflies, aphids, and leafhoppers, in all development stages.
In particular, it has been shown that primary and secondary spread of viruses by insect vectors can effectively be reduced or prevented by application of dimpropyridaz.
On the one hand, it has been found that virus or bacteria infected vectors that land on a dimpropyridaz-treated plant will exhibit a reduced ability of the vector to transmit the virus or bacteria. On the other hand, it has been found that non-infected insect vectors, which land on a dimpropyridaz-treated infected plant, will have a reduced ability to transmit the virus or bacteria to adjacent healthy plants.
Therefore, in one aspect, the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing virus and bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants.
In this regard, it must be distinguished between non-persistently and persistently transmitted viruses and bacteria.
Non-persistent viruses and bacteria are transferred mechanically via the mouthparts of the insect vectors during feeding (stylet-borne). Non-persistent transmission is typically characterized by an acquisition time (time required by the insect vector to acquire the virus/bacteria) of seconds, an inoculation time (time required by the infectious insect vector to inoculate a plant) of seconds, a latent period (minimum time between acquisition of a virus/bacteria and ability to transmit) of zero, and a retention time (time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the virus/bacteria) of minutes to hours. In terms of a primary spread, i.e., the initial spread of virus/bacteria into a field by infectious insect vectors from sources outside the field, the short inoculation time is of relevance. On the other hand, the low retention time prevents the spread of the virus/bacteria over long distances. In terms of the secondary spread of the virus/bacteria, i.e. the spread of the virus/bacteria within a field via acquisition of the virus/bacteria by insect vectors from sources of virus/bacteria within the field and spread of the virus/bacteria by these afterwards infectious insect vectors, it is of particular relevance that there is no latent period, so that an insect vector, which has acquired the virus/bacteria from one plant, can directly transmit it to another plant.
Persistent viruses include circulative viruses, which must systemically move within the insect body to be transmitted, and propagative viruses, which must replicate within the insect body to be transmitted. Persistent virus transmission is typically characterized by an acquisition time of minutes, an inoculation time of minutes, a latent period of one or more days, and a long retention time, which often lasts for the life of the insect. As the inoculation time is also rather short in case of persistent virus transmission, primary spread (before killed by insecticide) is an important problem in managing plant diseases.
As the retention time is long, non-infected fields may also be infected due to insect migration from infected fields, which are far away. However, as the latent period is also rather long, secondary spread of the virus or bacteria is delayed because the insect vector cannot directly transmit the virus or bacteria after acquisition. One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the spread of persistent virus and bacteria types. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the primary spread of persistent virus and bacterium types through rapid feeding cessation.
Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the secondary spread of persistent virus and bacterium types.
One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the spread of non-persistent virus types. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the primary spread of non- persistent virus types. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the secondary spread of non-persistent virus types.
Semi-persistent viruses frequently suppress plant defense responses, resulting in an increase of vector population and facilitating viral transmissions during vector outbreaks. In semi- persistent transmission, viruses are retained in the foreguts or salivary glands. Semi-persistent virus transmission is typically characterized by an acquisition time of minutes to hours, and a retention time of hours to days.
For non-persistently transmitted viruses and bacterium, insecticides other than dimpropyridaz often act too slowly to effectively reduce both, primary and secondary spread of the virus. In case of persistently transmitted viruses, insecticides often act too slowly to effectively reduce primary spread of the virus.
A preferred embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the primary spread of non-persistent and semi-persistent virus types. Another embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing the secondary spread of non-persistent and semi-persistent virus types.
For the reduction of secondary spread, it is required that the insecticide effectively kills all insect vectors, or rapidly ceases feeding of the vectors. However, fast-killing insecticides may have negative effects to non-target arthropods and beneficials.
In another aspect, the invention relates to a method for reducing or preventing transmission from insect vectors to plants, which method comprises applying dimpropyridaz to the insect vectors, crops, plants, plant propagation materials such as seeds, or soil or water, in which the plants are growing. One embodiment of the invention relates to the use of dimpropyridaz for reducing or preventing secondary spread.
In another aspect, the invention relates to a method of protecting plants from viral and bacterial diseases which method comprises applying dimpropyridaz to the non-infected crops, plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, or soil or water, in which the plants are growing.
In one embodiment, the invention relates to the use or method for reducing or preventing transmission from insect vectors to plants, which use a method comprised of applying dimpropyridaz, or a stereoisomer, tautomer, salt, or N-oxide thereof to the plant.
Although dimpropyridaz itself and its combined application with other insecticides are known to have shown activity against insect pests, it has not yet been known for solving virus and bacteria caused problems in plants as mentioned above.
Salts of dimpropyridaz are preferably agriculturally and veterinarily acceptable salts. Such salts and their preparation are in general known from WO 2012/143317.
Dimpropyridaz can be used in the form of its N-oxides. Its N-oxides are in general known from WO 2012/143317.
Dimpropyridaz may be amorphous or may exist in one or more different crystalline states (polymorphs) which may have different macroscopic properties such as stability or show different biological properties such as activity. The invention includes the use of both amorphous and crystalline compounds, their enantiomers or diastereomers, mixtures of different crystalline states of dimpropyridaz, its enantiomers or diastereomers, as well as amorphous or crystalline salts thereof.
Dimpropyridaz is suitable for reducing or preventing transmission from insect vectors to plants.
As used herein, the term "virus or bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants" refers to the introduction of a virus into a plant to cause an infection. Virus transmission is typically characterized by the acquisition time, i.e. the time required by the insect vector to acquire the virus, the inoculation time, i.e. the time required by infectious insect vectors to infect the plant, the latent period, i.e. the minimum time between acquisition of a virus and ability of the insect vector to transmit the virus, and the retention time, i.e. the time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the virus. As a consequence of reducing virus transmission from insect vectors to plants, insect-vectored viral infections of plants in a field can be reduced. In particular, primary spread of the virus, i.e. the initial spread of virus into a field by infectious insect vectors from sources outside the filed, and/or secondary spread of the virus, i.e. the spread of the virus within a field via acquisition of the virus by insect vectors from sources of virus within the field and spread of the virus by these afterwards infectious insect vectors, may be reduced.
As used herein, the term "virus-infected" or "viral infection" in connection with plants means that the plant has been infected with a virus. As outlined above, viral infection is typically caused by inoculation by an infectious insect vector. Virus transmission from insect vectors to plants typically causes viral infections.
As used herein, the term "pathogen" includes bacteria and viruses.
As used herein, the term "virus or bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants" refers to the introduction of a pathogens into a plant to cause an infection. Such transmission is typically characterized by the acquisition time, i.e. the time required by the insect vector to acquire the
pathogen, the inoculation time, i.e. the time required by infectious insect vectors to infect the plant, the latent period, i.e. the minimum time between acquisition of a pathogen and ability of the insect vector to transmit the pathogen, and the retention time, i.e. the time after acquisition that an insect vector remains capable of transmitting the bacteria. As a consequence of reducing bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants, insect-vectored bacterial and virus infections of plants in a field can be reduced. Primary spread of the pathogens, i.e., the initial spread of the pathogen into a field by infectious insect vectors from sources outside the filed, and/or secondary spread of the pathogen, i.e., the spread of the pathogen within a field via acquisition of the pathogen by insect vectors from sources of the pathogens within the field and spread of the pathogen by these afterwards infectious insect vectors, may be reduced.
As used herein, the term "bacteria-infected" or "bacterial infection" in connection with plants means that the plant has been infected with a bacterium. As outlined above, bacterial infection is typically caused by inoculation by an infectious insect vector. Bacteria transmission from insect vectors to plants typically causes bacterial infections.
The term "plant" refers to multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotic life-forms belonging to kingdom Plantae including crops.
The term "crop" refers to plants grown for food or other commercial purposes. The application of dimpropyridaz to crops is a preferred embodiment of the invention.
As used herein, the term "infectious insect vector" refers to an insect vector, which has acquired a virus and can transmit the virus, which means that the latent period is already over, but the retention time is not yet over. "Infectious insect vectors" may also be described as "viruliferous insect vectors".
As used herein, the term "non-infected" in connection with plants means that the plant is healthy, i.e., not virus-infected. "Non-infected plants" may also be referred to as "virus-free plants". Dimpropyridaz is preferably used in fields comprising exclusively non-infected plants focusing on the reduction or prevention of primary spread of viruses or in fields comprising virus- infected and non-infected plants focussing on the reduction or prevention of secondary spread of the virus.
As used herein, the term "non-infectious" in connection with an insect vector means that the insect vector is not capable of transmitting a virus, preferably that the insect vector has not even acquired a virus.
The term "contacting" includes both direct contact (applying the compound/compositions directly on the animal pest or plant) and indirect contact (applying the compound/compositions to the locus). Maximal contact pertains to the application of dimpropyridaz to the pest and plant jointly. This method is used for insects that have reduced movement while feeding (aphids) or are sessile such as nymphal stages of whiteflies.
"Pesticidally effective amount" means the amount of active ingredient needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention,
and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism. A pesticidally effective amount of the compositions will also vary according to the prevailing conditions e.g., desired pesticidal effect and duration, weather, target species, locus, mode of application.
"Reducing virus transmission” means a reduction of the number of infected plants by at least 50%, or 65%, preferably 80%, particularly 90%, or 95% compared to untreated control.

Most plant pathogenic bacteria belong to the genera Erwinia, Pectobacterium, Pantoea, Agrobacterium, Liberibacter, Pseudomonas, Ralstonia, Burkholderia, Acidovorax, Xanthomonas, Clavibacter, Streptomyces, Xylella, Spiroplasma, and Phytoplasma. Xyella, Liberibacter, Spiroplasma and Phytoplasma contain the most economically impacting diseases transmitted by hemipteran vectors within plants (c.f. Huang, Weijie PMC 2020 Dec 28). Preferred embodiments of the use or method according to the invention for reducing or preventing bacteria and virus transmission from insect vectors to plants comprising the application of dimpropyridaz are described hereinafter. The remarks made as to the preferred embodiments of the use or method of the invention are to be understood as preferred on their own as well as preferably in combination with each other.
In one preferred embodiment of the use or method of the invention, dimpropyridaz is applied to fields of non-infected plants, i.e. , fields which exclusively comprise non-infected plants, i.e. , do not contain any bacteria or virus-infected plants. As a consequence, primary spread of the bacteria and virus can be reduced or even prevented as dimpropyridaz would prevent or significantly reduce feeding (transmission) of present and incoming insect vectors.
In another preferred embodiment of the use or method of the invention, dimpropyridaz is applied to fields comprising bacteria or virus-infected and non-infected plants. This is particularly suitable to reduce or prevent secondary spread of the bacteria and virus within the field.
In another embodiment, the insect vector is selected from aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, thrips, psyllids, scales, mealybugs, and mites, and is preferably selected from the group of aphids, whiteflies, leafhoppers, and thrips, more preferably selected from aphids, whiteflies, and thrips, and is particularly selected from the group of aphids and whiteflies.
In particular, bacteria and viruses may be spread by insects which are one or more of e.g. Acyrthosiphum pisum, Aphis citricola, Aphis craccivora, Aphis fabae, Aphis frangulae, Aphis glycines, Aphis gossypii, Aphis nasturtii, Aphis pomi, Aphis spiraecola, Aulacorthum solani, Brachycaudus helichrysi, Brevicoryne brassicae, Diuraphis noxia, Dysaphis devecta, Dysaphis plantaginea, Eriosoma lanigerum, Hyalopterus pruni, Lipaphis erysimi, Macrosiphum avenae, Macrosiphum euphorbiae, Macrosiphum rosae, Myzus cerasi, Myzus nicotianae, Myzus persicae, Nasonovia ribisnigri, Pemphigus bursarius, Phorodon humuli, Rhopalosiphum insertum Wa, Rhopalosiphum maidis, Rhopalosiphum padi, Schizaphis graminum, Sitobion avenae, Toxoptera aurantii, Toxoptera citricola, Phylloxera vitifoliae, Bemisia tabaci, Nilaparvata lugens, Sogatella furcifera, Laodelphax spp, Nephotettix spp., Trialeurodes vaporariorum, Thrips tabaci, Thrips palmi, Bactericera cockerelli, Dalbulus maidis, Frankliniella schultzei, Frankliniella occidentalis, and Diaphorina citri.
Plants exhibiting aphid damage can have a variety of symptoms, such as decreased growth rates, mottled leaves, yellowing, stunted growth, curled leaves, browning, wilting, low yields and death. The beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) causes yellow to orange leaf discoloration, the Beet yellow virus (BYV) causes yellowing of leaves, and the Turnip yellow virus (TuYV) causes intervening yellowing of leaves and red, purple, yellow discoloration of the leaf margins.
The removal of sap creates a lack of vigor in the plant, and aphid saliva is toxic to plants. Furthermore, aphids frequently transmit disease-causing organisms like plant viruses to their hosts through feeding. The green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) is a vector for many plant viruses, such as Turnip yellow virus (TuYV), Beet yellow virus (BYV), Beet chlorosis virus (BChV), and Beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV). Such viruses affect a wide variety of plants such as sugar beet, fodder beets, oilseed rape, brassicas, lettuce crops, mustard, chickpea, lupin, lentil, beans, peas, lucerne, and clover. The bird cherry-oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi) often infect barley, wheat, oats, maize, triticale, rice with viruses of Luteovirus Genus, mostly Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV). Cotton aphids (Aphis gossypii) often infect sugarcane, papaya and groundnuts with viruses. Aphids contribute to the spread of late blight (Phytophthora infestans) among potatoes. The cherry aphid or black cherry aphid, Myzus cerasi, is responsible for some leaf curl of cherry trees. In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the aphid insect vector is thus selected from Myzus persicae, and Rhopalosiphum padi, particularly the insect vector is Myzus persicae.
Similarly, whitefly nymphs and adults feed by inserting their proboscises into the leaf, penetrating the phloem and withdrawing sap. It is during this feeding process that plant
pathogens are acquired and transmitted. Particularly, adult whiteflies may disperse and transmit the virus to new plants while feeding. Whiteflies, which represent virus vectors, include whiteflies in the genera Bemisia and Trialeurodes. A particularly important species of the genera Bemisia includes B. tabaci. Important species of the genera Trialeurodes include T. vaporariorum, T. abutilonea, and T. ricini. Whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) often infect tomato, eggplants, potatoes, tobacco, beans, and peppers with viruses. In another particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the whitefly insect vector is therefore selected from the group consisting of B. tabaci, T. vaporariorum, T. abutilonea, and T. ricini, particularly the whitefly insect vector is B. tabaci.

While plant viruses and their vectors are well understood and able to be separated into the distinct classes and subclasses across persistent, semi-persistent and non-persistent much less is understood regarding plant infecting bacteria and their associated insect vectors (c.f. Front. Plant Sci. 09 August 2016, Sec. Plant Pathogen Interactions; https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpls.2016.01163/full) Since it is known that bacteria can be acquired by infected plants in both vascular systems: phloem and xylem, presumption is that majority of bacterial diseases, as vectored by insects, will be obligate intercellar persistent and semi-persistent, circulative, and non-circulative, and minority in non-persistent. It should also be noted that bacterial acquisition within plants can also occur via contaminated soil or seed, plant injury with exposure to infected debris or airborne spores. Several of the families that impact plant health also contain genera and or species that impact human (mammalian) health as well.
The family Erwiniaceae contains genera Erwinia which includes more than 20 species, of which E. amylovora or fire blight appearing on pome and stone fruits may be the most common. Additionally, there is E. tracheiphila causing bacterial wilt in cucurbits and ornamentals such as orchid. As well as sub-genera Pantoea containing at least 9 species some of which are opportunistic and able to impact humans.

Examples
The invention is illustrated in further detail by the following biological examples.
Examples across both lab and field environments present a strong trend relating dimpropyridaz use, either in a preventative, prior to vector insect natural or artificial infestation, or curative, maximal plant, and insect contact, to a greater reduction in overall presence of related plant diseases by crop system compared to other insecticides. Based on feeding EPG, honeydew clock and related field trials it is concluded that dimpropyridaz drives a reduction in feeding both in duration probing and salvation or ingestion. Correlation of these laboratory results were mirrored in overall presence of disease as noted visually or through ELISA confirmation that reduction in disease presence was independent of noted pest populations.
Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/l SL formulation in Experiments 1 to 4, and as a 220g/l SC formulation in Experiments 5 to 9, resp. The formulations were diluted with water to give the spray liquids for use in the experiments below.
Imidacloprid was used as a commercial formulation, dilution and applied rate according to its label. All treatments were applied using a backpack pressurized
Experiments 1 to 6: sprayed until runoff (upper and lower side of the leaf).
Experiments 7 to 9: sprayed with water volume adapted to crop size:
- Exp. 7: 200 l/ha (Nozzle type: Lu 120/02)
Exp. 8: 300 l/ha (Nozzle type: 9)
Exp. 9: 250 l/ha (Nozzle type: Flat fan)
The ELISA test is a microplate-based test in which an antibody is linked to an enzyme prior to reaction with the antigen. It is followed by assessment of the enzyme conjugated antibodyantigen reaction or activity upon incubation with the enzyme-specific substrate changing the color of the substrate (https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunoloqy-and- microbiology/enzyme-linked-immunosorbent-assay). This change in color means the virus is present in the plant (positive test). The percentage is the portion of virus- infested plants (ELISA test positive) of the total number of plants.
For Examples 7 to 9 the visual assessment was the source of the %-values of infested plants. It is a visual estimation in % of number of plants showing symptoms within a plot. Symptoms of virus are depending on the species. An ELISA test was used for confirmation that the shown symptoms are caused by the virus.
Symptoms of virus diseases are: BMYV: yellow to orange leaf discoloration; BYV: yellowing of leaves; TuYV: inter-veining yellowing of leaves and red, purple, yellow discoloration of the leaf margins.

Example 10: Disease transmission reduction and mortality on Dalbulus maidis control
Insects that are vectors of two major pathogens leading to maize stunting in corn, Mollicutes bacteria, Spiroplasma kunkelli, and Maize bushy stunt phytoplasma can be a big problem for growers, since some time may pass before the insecticide kills the insect, during which the insect can transmit the disease to a healthy plant. The relation of bacteria vector of Dalbulus maidis (Corn leafhopper, DALBMA) is a persistent manner, which means, the insect can transmit or acquire the disease only if its feeds for a longer duration of time in the phloem vessel. In this case a good insecticide for disease vector, needs to kill the insect but moreover needs to quickly stop feeding activities to avoid disease transmission.
Corn plants of Zea mays (ZEAMX) were planted using normal spacing for variety AG 8480 PRO3 (row spacing 0.5m and plant density 4 plant/m). Plots size was 6x6m (36m2).
Treatments were applied via foliar application five days after emergence and was repeated every 5 days. Total number of applications within trial period was seven. Spray volume was 120L/ha and nozzles used to do the application was XR 110.02, spacing between nozzles 0.5m and pression 2.5 bar. Average application time for full study ranged from -30-50 minutes.
Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/L SL formulation compared to commercial standards tested: Thiamethoxam + Lambda cyhalothrin: Engeo® Pleno 141g/L+106g/L SC (Syngenta);
Imidacloprid + Bifenthrin: Galil® 300g/L SC (ADAMA) in the rates shown below.
Different assessments were conducted throughout the trial period:
NUMBER: count number of insects alive in 15 central plants on the plot.
INFECT: Evaluate 15 central plants on the plot and evaluate according to scale of stunting symptomology severity. Scalel : plant without symptom
Scale 2: Plants with leaves less of 25% of symptoms (leave red or yellow)
Scale 3: plants with leaves 25-50% with symptoms
Scale 4: Plants with leaves 50-75% with symptoms
Scale 5: Plants with leaves more than 75% with symptoms Scale 6: plants died due to symptoms
YIELD: harvest (kg/ha)
Table 10-1 : Results based on averages of replicates, subsamples per plot of: Efficacy (%) control of Dalbulus, Stunting symptomology severity (scale 1-6) and Harvest (kg/ha)
The results show the impact of dimpropyridaz treatment on bacterial disease transmission for Dalbulus maidis on corn crop. Percent efficacy of vector, population control, dalbulus, by dimpropyridaz at 108g ai/ha rate showed comparable efficacy as imidacloprid + bifenthrin at G05 and G10, 17.8, 16.7 and 14.6, respectively. Via 120g ai/ha rate dimpropyridaz showed higher efficacy than imidacloprid + bifenthrin and lower efficacy compared with thiamethoxam + lambda cyhalothrin E05 through G10, i.e., at G1041.5, 14.6 and 88.3, respectively. Key attributes noted by dimpropyridaz at both 108 and 120gai/ha rates compared with commercial standards are seen through the lower stunting symptomology severity response as well as higher total yield by weight kg/ha. Though thiamethoxam + lambda cyhalothrin resulted in higher percent efficacy control of dalbulus population throughout the study, it did not reduce symptomology severity or harvest kg/ha to the same level as dimpropyridaz. Dimpropyridaz at 108g ai/ha reduced severity of stunting symptoms by 2.5x and at 120gai/ha, 3x compared with the untreated control. Reduction in stunting symptomology directly correlated with total harvested kernels by weight within study wherein dimpropyridaz treatments were about 1 ,4x higher than the untreated control and thiamethoxam + lambda cyhalothrin treated plots and about 1.3x higher than the imidacloprid + bifenthrin treated plots. These results demonstrated the importance of rapid feeding cessation of dimpropyridaz in protecting crops and yields from plant disease infection.
Example 11 : Virus transmission (EPG Studies)
The most powerful technique to study the feeding behaviour and plant penetration activities of sap-sucking insects is the electrical penetration graph technique (EPG) (Tjallingii, Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 24: 521-530 (1978); Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 38, 177-186 (1985)). EPG is an electrical system in which an insect with piercing mouthparts and a plant are made part of an electrical circuit as soon as the insect inserts its mouthparts (stylets)
into the plant. As a result, voltage fluctuations are produced and can be recorded as waveforms, thus monitoring the insect's feeding activities and the stylet tip positions in the plant. These voltage fluctuations are due to resistance (R) or electromotive force (emf) changes occurring during stylet penetration. EPG recording has allowed the study of the stylet penetration activities of insect vectors in real time and facilitated correlation of the insect's probing activities with inoculation or acquisition of various plant pathogens (Prado & Tjalli ngii , Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 72: 157-165 (1994); Jiang et al., Annals of the Entomological Society of America 93, 573-579 (2000); Bonani et al., Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata 134, 35-49 (2010)). It has also been widely used to understand how chemical compounds may affect the feeding behaviour of sap-sucking insects are exposed (e.g., Harrewijn & Kayser, Pesticide Science 49, 130-140 (1997); Jacobson & Kennedy, Pest Management Science 70(5):836-40 (2014)). EPGs have also been recently used as a new tool to monitor the early stages of aphid resistance to insecticides (Garzo et al., Pest Management Science 72(4), 707- 18 (2016)).
The EPG technique (Tjallingii 1978) was used to conduct the experiments. EPGs were used to show the impact on corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis, DALBMA) feeding behaviour on corn plants (Zea mays, ZEAMX) previously treated with the selected active ingredients. For these experiments an 8-channel DC-EPG (Giga-8 dd) (electrical penetration graph) divide was connected to an A/D converter card and a personal computer using Stylet+ d software for data acquisition and analysis. Waveform pathways that were monitored for output from corn leafhopper feeding include, C = Parenchyma pathway, G = Ingestion from Xylem, E1 = salivation into phloem and E2 = ingestion from phloem. Dalbulus maidis vector bacteria in a persistent manner, which means, the insect can transmit or acquire the disease only if its feeds for a longer duration of time in the phloem vessel. In this case a good insecticide for disease vector, needs to kill the insect but moreover needs to stop feeding activities to avoid disease transmission.
Treatments were applied via foliar application. 10 replicates per treatment, 1 insect per plant. Plants were sprayed at the recommended dose with an airbrush sprayer and after the plants dried, EPG plant setup was arranged. The corn leaf hoppers were immobilized under vacuum and cold plate, respectively and connected to a 17 pm, gold wire with the help of silver conductive paint.
Then, insects were connected to a copper electrode and to the DC-EPG device. A plant electrode was used to complete the circuit. EPG signals were acquired for each insect on a different plant and a minimum of 10 replicates per treatment was recorded, interpreted, and
analysed. All behavioural variables were processed using the EPG-Excel data Worksheet developed internally.
DC-EPG (Giga-8 dd) output was conducted during a continuous 24-hour recording.
Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/L SL formulation compared to commercial standard Thiamethoxam + Lambda cyhalothrin: Engeo® Pleno 141g/L+106g/L SC (Syngenta). Rates of the test compounds:
EPG Results
Table 11-1 : Total duration of each waveform (Total probe, C, G, E1 , and E2) during 24 hours of analysis of the EPG recording
Results show the strong impact on the feeding behaviour of dimpropyridaz and other chemical compounds against corn leafhoppers. Phloem is the vessel where Dalbulus maidis can transmit stunting disease for corn. The relation of bacteria mollicute, phytoplasma to vector is in a persistent manner, which means the insect can transmit or acquire the disease only if feed for longer time in this vessel. Dimpropyridaz presented with the lowest amount of time (minutes) total probing across all tissues most notably within phloem via salivation and ingestion. When compared to control, verify clear changes in feeding behaviour throughout 24 hours were observed wherein dimpropyridaz reduced the total amount of time for phloem salivation and ingestion, 12x, 37x to 57x, 6.9x respectively. When dimpropyridaz was compared to Thiamethoxam + Lambda cyhalothrin, dimpropyridaz numerically reduced phloem salivation (E1) by about 2x as well as phloem ingestion (E2) by about 3x, confirming interference regarding corn leafhopper feeding behaviour.
Example 12: Speed of feeding cessation - Honeydew clock results on Aphis gossypii (APHIGO)
Feeding cessation is a critical aspect regarding reduction of disease transmission amongst plant hosts. With differing impacts to insects based on coordination, active probing, feeding and mortality it is key to understand and relate results from EPG studies with a tangible and direct output of feeding. Honeydew is the sugary excrement as produced by piercing and sucking insects such as aphids and whiteflies and can be collected with water sensitive paper to correlate active feeding over an isolated range of time -24-48 hours. Amount of honeydew production is a direct representation of amount of feeding per hour. Even if insects are persisting on a plant and have not fully succumb to treatment reduction or inhibition of feeding during this period is essential for reduction in transmission of disease.
Cotton plants at growth stage BBCH 12, approximate height 30-35cm, were pre-trimmed to remove all but one single leaf. This leaf was further trimmed to form a rectangular shaped section along its mid-vein to not exceed 6-8mm width, ~24mm length and was supported by metal twist ties at a horizontal plan for the duration of the experiment. Once trimmed and supported, plants were infested with cotton aphids, received from an in-house established colony, via a pre-infested dicotyledon leaf clipping and allowed to settle on plant material for -12-24 hours prior to treatment. Number of aphids per trimmed plant/leaf were evaluated prior to application, with number of aphids per plant relatively similar amongst all treatments. Application was conducted and plants were allowed to dry for approximately 30 minutes. Treated plants were positioned so that, once dried, the treated leaf would rest 2-3mm above a moisture sensitive paper strip affixed to a 24-hour rotational clock timer (Intermatic Time-All model no. TN111C or TN311C). Moisture sensitive paper was coaxially mounted to the outer rim of a 60mm petri dish lid with double sided tape which was then attached to the front of a 24- hour clock timer via Velcro strips. Replicates were held in tandem on a seven-outlet power strip which was clamped to a rectangular steel base for support. Setups were maintained in under laboratory environmental conditions.
Treatments were applied via foliar dip application wherein infested plants were dipped into solutions of predetermined rates (ppm ai or gai/ha) prepared by formulated compounds diluted in deionized water. Plant foliage was submerged for 3 full seconds ensuring full coverage of plant piece. Total replicates per treatment was 3, totalling 180-300 aphids per treatment.
Test compounds: Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/L SL formulation compared to commercial standards Pymetrozine 50% WG (Fulfill®, Syngenta), Spirotetramat 240g/L OD (Movento®, Bayer) tested as commercial products.
Results
Model = Generalized liner mixed model with negative binomial distribution (log link) and autoregressive 1 covariance structure. P = 0.05.
Results show the advantageous effect of dimpropyridaz treatment on reduction and time of cessation of honeydew production by cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) on cotton compared with relevant global commercial insecticides. Dimpropyridaz showed the lowest number of aphid droplets across 24 - 48 hours (67.3). When average number of droplets per hour was evaluated dimpropyridaz showed a significant reduction noting the lowest number of honeydew droplets throughout the duration of the test. Reduction in feeding as seen by number of honeydew droplets per hour or in total confirm that dimpropyridaz displays feeding activity in a manner that correlates to reduction in disease transmission.
Example 13: Field Studies - Oilseed Rape (OSR) - Turnip yellow virus (TuYV)
Plants of Winter Oilseed rape (Brassica napus) were treated via single foliar spray application, with 300L/ha water volume when plants were at grow stage BBCH 13-18. Aphid population and subsequent disease presence were naturally occurring during the trial period.
Assessments based on number of aphids (Green peach aphid, Myzus persicae) per x number plants per plot was conducted at intervals 1-28 days after foliar application along with ELISA %frequency calculations based on plant tissue samples collected at 28 days after treatment along with % estimated plot infection via a spring assessment approximately 6 months later.
Dimpropyridaz was used as a 220g/L SC formulation compared to commercial standards as commercially available formulated products. Lambda-cyhalothrin 100g/L CS (Karate Zeon®, Syngenta), and Sulfoxaflor 50% WG (Isoclast®, Corteva).
Results show the impact on the frequency of plants per plot or total plots infected with TuYV (turnip yellow virus) in OSR. ELISA results showed the least instances of plant infected with TuYV within plots treated with dimpropyridaz at 0.2L/ha. Further confirmation was noted with secondary visual assessment of plot area wherein area infected by TuYV as denoted by symptomology was reduced 2x compared with control area.
Example 14: Field Studies in Sugar beet - Beet yellow virus (BYV)
Plants of sugar beet Plantina KWS (Beta vulgaris vulgaris, BEAVP) were treated via two foliar spray applications, with 200L/ha water volume when plants were at grow stage BBCH 12 & 17. Aphid (Aphis fabae, Myzus persicae) population and resulting BYV symptoms were naturally occurring during the trial period.
Assessments were based on visual reduction in BYV symptoms observed at 49 days after the second application.
Test compounds: Dimpropyridaz was used as a 220g/L SC formulation compared to commercial standards: Lambda-cyhalothrin 1OOg/L CS (Karate Zeon®, Syngenta), Flonicamid 50% WG (Teppeki®, ISK), and Spirotetramat 100g/L SC (Movento®, Bayer).
Results show the impact on the frequency of plants or plot infected with BYV (beet yellow virus) in sugar beet. Visual assessment of number infected plants at 49 days after the second application resulted with the fewest number of impacted plants within 44gai/ha dimpropyridaz treated plots and an overall reduction compared with untreated control of ~4.5x.
Example 15: Field Studies in Winter barley - Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV)
Plants were treated via single foliar spray applications, with 200L/ha water volume when plants were at grow stage BBCH 12-14. Aphid (Bird cherry oat aphid, Rhopalosiphum padi) population and related presence of BYDV were naturally occurring throughout the duration of the trial.
Assessments were based on visual reduction in BYDV symptoms observed at crop growth stage 55-59, 39 days after treatment.
Dimpropyridaz was used as a 120g/L SL, and 220g/L SC formulations, resp., compared to commercial standard Lambda-cyhalothrin tested as commercial product (100g/L CS (Karate Zeon®, Syngenta).
Estimated infested plants with BYDV - 39 days after treatment
Results show the strong impact on the frequency of plants or plot infected with BYDV (barley yellow dwarf virus) in winter barley. Visual assessment of percentage of plots displaying BYDV symptomology 39 days after treatment resulted with the lowest percentage of plots impacted by both dimpropyridaz treatments. Dimpropyridaz treatment of 0.2L/ha via 220g/L SC formulation resulted in a reduction of 6x of plots affected compared with the check and dimpropyridaz treatment of 0.25L/ha via 120g/L SL formulation presented with further reduction of ~10x compared to the untreated control.
