Description
210~62~o Method of controllin~ insects The invention relates to a method of controlling insects, in which compounds of the fo~mula [~ ~~[~ R
in which R is ethyl or propyl, are used, characterised in that insects from the order Homoptera or from the order Lepidoptera are controlled, to the use of these compounds for ~is purpose, to insecticidal compositions for Ihis purpose whose acdve ingredient is selected from these compounds, and to a proeess for the preparation and the use of these compositions, with the proviso that (2R,4S)-2-ethyl-4-(4-phenoxy)phenoxymethyl- 1 ,3-dioxolane in fully enantiomerically pure form and in predominandy enantiomerically pure form is excepted from the scope of all subject matters of the invention.
Within the scope of the present invention, the abovementioned (2R,4SJ enantiomer is "in predominarltly enantiomerically pure form", in which case, inter alia, the abovementioned proviso applies, when a m~xture of compounds of the formula I comprises at least 90%, in particular at least 88%, more particularly at least 85%, preferably at least 80%, especially at least 70%, most preferably more than 50%, of this enantiomer relative to the total number of the molecules in this mixture.
US-4,097,581 proposes compounds of the formula ~ ~o~ XR' (II), in which Rl is hydrogen, Cl-C7allcyl, C3-C6cycloaLlcyl, C2-C3aLlcenyl, C2-C3alkynyl, C2-C4methoxyaLkyl, chloromethyl or benzyl and R2 is hydrogen or Cl-C6aLlcyl or . ~

Rl and R2 together are the group -(CH2)n-, in which n is 4 or 5, or together with the carbon atom to which they are bonded are the group of the formula (III), CH(cH3)2 as active ingredients in compositions for enhancing fruit abscission and as acdve ingredients in pesticidal composidons, such as insecdcidal composidons, especially composidons for controlling insects from the order Diptera and especially from the order Coleoptera.
Unexpec~edly and, bearing in mind the above described disclosure of US4,097,581,entirely surprisingly, it has now been found that the compounds of the formula I are highly suitable for controlling insects of certain families and genera from the order Homoptera and of certain families from the order Lepidoptera, viz for controlling insects of the families Aleyrodidae, Cicadellidae, Coccidae, Margarodidae and Psyllidae, all of which belong to the order Homoptera, insects of the genera Aonidiella, Aspidiotus, Aulacaspis, Chrysomphalus, Lepidosaphes, Parlatoria, Pseudaulacaspis, Quadraspidiotus, Selenaspidus and Unaspis from the family Diaspididae, which belongs to the order Homoptera, insects of the genus Planococcus f~om the family Pseudococcidae, which belongs to the order Homoptera, and insects of the families Gracilariidae, Lyonedidae, Olethreuddae, Psychidae and Tortricidae, all of which belong to the order Lepidoptera The reason why this outstanding suitability of the compounds of the formula I for controlling insects of certain families and genera from the order Homoptera and of certain families from the order Lepidoptera is so surprising is that, although the compounds of the fonnula I fall within the scope of the compounds of the formula II disclosed in US-4,097,581 and are even disclosed specifically, in the form of diastereomer mixtures, in US-4,097,58 1 in the table in columns 9 and 10, US-4,097,58 1 makes no mendon what-soever of the outstanding acdvity of the compounds of the formula I according to the present invendon, neither of a specifically marked acdvity of the compounds of the formula II against the insects, mentioned according to the invention, of certain families and genera from the order Homoptera and of certain families from the order Lepidoptera, - ~ -.. ....

nor of a corresponding specifically marked activity of the present compounds of the formula I, which can be regarded as a specific sub-group of the compounds of the formula II which, however, is not disclosed in US-4,097,581.
Controlling insects of the type mentioned according to the invention is highly irnportant for the user in the field of insect control, since, for exarnple, enormous economical losses, ~or example due to the damage caused by these insects on agricultural produce, occur if these insects are not controlled in a targeted manner.

The compounds of the formula I which are used according to the invention are valuable active ingredients even at low rates of concentration when used preventively andlor curatively in the field of insect control while being well tolerated by warm-blooded species, fish and plants. The active ingredients which are used according to the invention are active against all or individual development stages of normally sensitive, but also of resistant, insects of the abovementioned type. The insecticidal activity of the active ingredients which are used according to the invention can become apparent directly, i.e.
by a destruction of the insects, which happens immediately or only after some time has elapsed, for example during molting, or indirectly, for example by reduced oviposition and/or hatching rate, the good activity corresponding to a mortality of at least 50 to 60%.
The active ingredients which are used according to the invention can be used forcontrolling, i.e. containing or destroying, pests of the abovementioned type which can be found in particular on plants, especially on useful plants and ornamentals in agriculture, 210462~
horticulture and in forests, or on parts of such plants, such as fruit, flowers, foliage, staLks, tubers or roots, and in some cases the protection against these pests even extends to paTts of the plants which are formed at a later point in time.
Suitable target crops are, in particular, crops of pome fruit, for example apples or pears, stone fruit, for example peaches, citrus fMit, for example lemons, oranges or grapefruits, vegetables, for example potatoes, beans, tomatoes or cucumbers, pepper, olives, mangoes, grapes, ornamentals, nuts, guavas, tea or avocados, especially pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus fruit, vegetables, olives, mangoes, grapes, ornamentals or nuts, preferably pome fruit, stone fruit or citrus fruit.
Other fields of application for the acdve ingredients which are used according to the invendon are the protecdon of stored p~oducts or stores, the protection of material and, in the hygiene sector, in particular the protection of domestic animals or productive livestock against pests of the abovementioned type.
The invendon therefore also relates to insecticidal composidons for use against pests of the abovementioned type, such as emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates, ready-to-spray or ready-t~dilute solutdons, spreadable pastes, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dispersible powders, dusts, granules or encapsulations in polymeric substances, all of which comprise - at least - one of the acdve ingredients which are used according to the invention and which are to be selected depending on the intended aims and the prevailing circumstances.
In these composidons, the active ingredient is employed as pure acdve ingredient, for example a solid active ingredient in a specific particle size, or, preferably, together with -at least - one of the auxiliaries conventdonally used in the art of formulatdons, such as ex-tenders, for example solvents or solid carriers, or surface-acdve compounds (su~factants).
The following are examples of suitable solvents: partially hydrogenated or unhydrogena-ted aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably ~e fracdons C8 to Cl2 of aL~cylbenzenes, such as xylene mixtures, aLlcylated naphthalenes or tetrahydronaphthalene, aliphatic or cycloali-phatic hydrocarbons, such as paraffins or cyclohexane, alcohols, such as ethanol, propanol or butanol, glycols and their ethers and esters, such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol ether, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol , 210~62~
monoethyl ether, ketones, such as cyclohexanone, isophorone or diacetone alcohol, strongly polar solvents, such as N-methylpyrrolid-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide, water, epoxidized or unepoxidized vegetable oils, such as epoxi-dized or unepoxidized rapeseed oil, castor oil, coconut oil or soya oil, and silicone oils.
Solid carriers which are used, for example for dusts and dispersible powders, are, as a rule, ground natural minerals, such as calcite, talc, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. To improve the physical properties, it is also possible to add highly-disperse silicas or highly-disperse sorptive polymers. Possible particulate, adsorptive carriers for granules are either porous types, such as pumice, brick grit, sepiolite or bentonite, and possible non-sorptive canier materials are calcite or sand. Moreover, a large number of granulated materials of inorganic or organic nature, in particular dolomite or comminuted plant residues, can be used.
Suitable surface-active compounds are, depending on the nature of the active ingredient to be formulated, non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants or surfactant mixtures which have good emulsifying, dispersing and wetdng properties. The surfactants listed below are only given by way of example; a large number of surfactants which are conventionally used in the art of formuladon and suitable according to the invention are described in the specialist literature.
Suitable non-ionic surfactants are mainly polyglycol ether derivatives or aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and aLI~ylphenols, which can have 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the ~aliphadc) hydrocarbon radical and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical of the alkylphenols. Other suitable non-ionic surfactants are water-soluble polyethylene oxide adducts with polypropylene glycol, ethylene diaminopolypropylene glycol and aL~yl polypropylene glycol which have 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the aLkyl chain and 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. The abovementioned compounds customarily have 1 to S ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit. Examples which may be mentioned are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene/-polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Other substances which are suitable are fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate.
The cationic surfactants are mainly quaternary ammonium salts which have, as , 210~62~
substituents, at least one aL~cyl radical having 8 to 22 C atoms and, as further substituents, lower halogenated or unhalogenated aL~yl, benzyl or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates. Examples are stearyltrimethylammonium chloride and benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium brornide.
Suitable anionic surfactants can be either so-called water-soluble soaps or water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds. Soaps which are suitable are the aL~cali metal salts, aL~caline earth metal salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C10-C22), such as the sodium salts or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural rnixtures of fatty acids which can be obtained from, for example, coconut oil or tall oil; mention must also be made of the fatty acid methyltaurinates. However, so-called synthetic surfactants are used more frequently, in particular fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates. The fatty sulfonates and fatty sulfates are, as a rule, in the forrn of aL~ali metal salts, aL~caline earth metal salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts and have in general an alkyl radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, aL~cyl also including the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals; examples which may be mentioned are the sodium salt or calcium salt of ligninsulfonic acid, of the dodecylsulfuric ester or of a fatty alcohol sulfate mixture prepared with natural fatty acids.
This group also includes the salts of the sulfuric esters and sulfonic acids of fatty alcohoVethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives have preferably 2 sulfonyl groups and a fatty acid radical having approxirnately 8 to 22 C atoms.
Alkylarylsulfonates are, for example, the sodium salts, calcium salts or triethanolarnmonium salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Suitable phosphates, for example salts of the phosphoric ester of a p-nonylphenol/(4-14)ethylene oxide adduct, or phospholipids, are also suitable.
As a rule, the compositions comprise 0.1 to 99%, in particular 0.1 to 95%, of active ingredient and 1 to 99.9%, in particular 5 to 99.9%, of at least one solid or liquid auxiliary, it being possible as a rule, for 0 to 25%, in particular 0.1 to 20%, of the compositions to be surfactants (% in each case meaning percent by weight). While concentrated compositions are more preferred as commercially available goods, the end consumer uses, as a rule, dilute compositions whose active substance concentrations are considerably lower.
Preferred compositions are in particular composed as follows (% = percent by weight):
g Emulsifiiable concentrates:
Active ingredient: 1 tO 90%, preferably S to 20%
Surfactant: 1 to 30%, preferably 10 to 20 %
Solvent: 5 to 98%, preferably 70 to 85 %
Dusts:
Active ingredient: 0.1 to 10%, preferably 0.1 to 1%
Solid canier: 99.9 to 90%, preferably 99.9 to 99%
Suspension concentrates:
Active ingredient: 5 to 75%, preferably 10 to 50%
Water: 94 to 24%, preferably 88 to 30%
Surfactant: 1 to 40%, preferably 2 to 30%
Wettable powders:
Active ingredient: 0.5 to 90%, preferably 1 to 80%
Surfactant: 0.5 to 20%, preferably 1 to 15%
Solid carrier: S to 99%, preferably 15 to 98%
Granules:
Active ingredient: 0.5 to 30%, preferably 3 to 15%
Solid carrier: 99.5 to 70%, preferably 97 to 85%
By adding other insecticidal active ingredients, the spectrum of action of the compositions according to the invention can be broadened considerably and adapted to prevailing circumstances. Suitable active ingredients which can be added are, for example, representatives of the following active ingredient classes: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives, formamidines, ureas, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations. The compositions according to the invention can also comprise other solid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabiliærs, for example epoxidiæd or unepoxidized vegetable oils (for example epoxidiæd coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and/or tackifiers, and fertiliærs or other active ingIedients for aehieving specific effects, for example bactericides, fungicides, nematicides, molluscicides or selective herbicides.

The compositions according to the invention are prepared in a known manner, for example in the absence of auxiliaries, grinding, screening and/or compressing of a solid active in-gredient or active ingredient mixture, for example to give a specific particle size, and in the presence of at least one auxiliary for example by intimately mixing and/or grinding the active ingredient or active ingredient rnixture with the additive(s). The invention also re-lates to these processes for the preparation of the compositions according to the invention and to the use of the compounds of the formula I for the preparation of these compositions.
The invention also relates to the methods of application for the compositions, that is to say the methods of controlling pests of the abovementioned type, such as spraying, atomizing, dusting, painting on, dressing, scattering or pouring, which are to be selected depending on the intended aims and the prevailing circumstances, and to the use of the compositions for the control of pests of the abovementioned type. Typical rates of concentration are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient.
Spray mixtures are employed, in particular, at active ingredient concentrations of 50, 100, 150 or 200 ppm. The rates of application per hectare are generally 1 to 2000 g of acdve ingredient per hectare, in particular 10 to 1000 g/ha, preferably 20 to 600 g/ha. Rates of application of 300, 400 or 450 g of active ingredient per hectare are preferred. Rates of application of 0.25, 0.75, 1.0 to 2.0 g of active ingredient per tree are preferred.
A preferred me~od of application in the field of crop protection is application to the foliage of the plant (folia application), where frequency and rate of application can be adapted to suit the danger of infestation with the pest in question. However, the active ingredient can also reach the plants through the root system (systerr;ic action) by drenching the locus of the plants with a liquid composition or incorporating the active ingredient in solid form into the locus of the plants, for example into the soil, for example in the form of granules (soil application).

The compounds of the formula I which are used according to the invention are valuable active ingredients even at low rates of concentration when used preventively andlor curatively in the field of insect control while being well tolerated by warm-blooded species, fish and plants. The active ingredients which are used according to the invention are active against all or individual development stages of normally sensitive, but also of resistant, insects of the abovementioned type. The insecticidal activity of the active ingredients which are used according to the invention can become apparent directly, i.e.
by a destruction of the insects, which happens immediately or only after some time has elapsed, for example during molting, or indirectly, for example by reduced oviposition and/or hatching rate, the good activity corresponding to a mortality of at least 50 to 60%.
The active ingredients which are used according to the invention can be used forcontrolling, i.e. containing or destroying, pests of the abovementioned type which can be found in particular on plants, especially on useful plants and ornamentals in agriculture, 210462~
horticulture and in forests, or on parts of such plants, such as fruit, flowers, foliage, staLks, tubers or roots, and in some cases the protection against these pests even extends to paTts of the plants which are formed at a later point in time.
Suitable target crops are, in particular, crops of pome fruit, for example apples or pears, stone fruit, for example peaches, citrus fMit, for example lemons, oranges or grapefruits, vegetables, for example potatoes, beans, tomatoes or cucumbers, pepper, olives, mangoes, grapes, ornamentals, nuts, guavas, tea or avocados, especially pome fruit, stone fruit, citrus fruit, vegetables, olives, mangoes, grapes, ornamentals or nuts, preferably pome fruit, stone fruit or citrus fruit.
Other fields of application for the acdve ingredients which are used according to the invendon are the protecdon of stored p~oducts or stores, the protection of material and, in the hygiene sector, in particular the protection of domestic animals or productive livestock against pests of the abovementioned type.
The invendon therefore also relates to insecticidal composidons for use against pests of the abovementioned type, such as emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates, ready-to-spray or ready-t~dilute solutdons, spreadable pastes, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dispersible powders, dusts, granules or encapsulations in polymeric substances, all of which comprise - at least - one of the acdve ingredients which are used according to the invention and which are to be selected depending on the intended aims and the prevailing circumstances.
In these composidons, the active ingredient is employed as pure acdve ingredient, for example a solid active ingredient in a specific particle size, or, preferably, together with -at least - one of the auxiliaries conventdonally used in the art of formulatdons, such as ex-tenders, for example solvents or solid carriers, or surface-acdve compounds (su~factants).
The following are examples of suitable solvents: partially hydrogenated or unhydrogena-ted aromatic hydrocarbons, preferably ~e fracdons C8 to Cl2 of aL~cylbenzenes, such as xylene mixtures, aLlcylated naphthalenes or tetrahydronaphthalene, aliphatic or cycloali-phatic hydrocarbons, such as paraffins or cyclohexane, alcohols, such as ethanol, propanol or butanol, glycols and their ethers and esters, such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol ether, ethylene glycol, ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol , 210~62~
monoethyl ether, ketones, such as cyclohexanone, isophorone or diacetone alcohol, strongly polar solvents, such as N-methylpyrrolid-2-one, dimethyl sulfoxide or N,N-dimethylformamide, water, epoxidized or unepoxidized vegetable oils, such as epoxi-dized or unepoxidized rapeseed oil, castor oil, coconut oil or soya oil, and silicone oils.
Solid carriers which are used, for example for dusts and dispersible powders, are, as a rule, ground natural minerals, such as calcite, talc, kaolin, montmorillonite or attapulgite. To improve the physical properties, it is also possible to add highly-disperse silicas or highly-disperse sorptive polymers. Possible particulate, adsorptive carriers for granules are either porous types, such as pumice, brick grit, sepiolite or bentonite, and possible non-sorptive canier materials are calcite or sand. Moreover, a large number of granulated materials of inorganic or organic nature, in particular dolomite or comminuted plant residues, can be used.
Suitable surface-active compounds are, depending on the nature of the active ingredient to be formulated, non-ionic, cationic and/or anionic surfactants or surfactant mixtures which have good emulsifying, dispersing and wetdng properties. The surfactants listed below are only given by way of example; a large number of surfactants which are conventionally used in the art of formuladon and suitable according to the invention are described in the specialist literature.
Suitable non-ionic surfactants are mainly polyglycol ether derivatives or aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohols, saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and aLI~ylphenols, which can have 3 to 30 glycol ether groups and 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the ~aliphadc) hydrocarbon radical and 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical of the alkylphenols. Other suitable non-ionic surfactants are water-soluble polyethylene oxide adducts with polypropylene glycol, ethylene diaminopolypropylene glycol and aL~yl polypropylene glycol which have 1 to 10 carbon atoms in the aLkyl chain and 20 to 250 ethylene glycol ether groups and 10 to 100 propylene glycol ether groups. The abovementioned compounds customarily have 1 to S ethylene glycol units per propylene glycol unit. Examples which may be mentioned are nonylphenolpolyethoxyethanols, castor oil polyglycol ethers, polypropylene/-polyethylene oxide adducts, tributylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol, polyethylene glycol and octylphenoxypolyethoxyethanol. Other substances which are suitable are fatty acid esters of polyoxyethylene sorbitan, such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan trioleate.
The cationic surfactants are mainly quaternary ammonium salts which have, as , 210~62~
substituents, at least one aL~cyl radical having 8 to 22 C atoms and, as further substituents, lower halogenated or unhalogenated aL~yl, benzyl or lower hydroxyalkyl radicals. The salts are preferably in the form of halides, methylsulfates or ethylsulfates. Examples are stearyltrimethylammonium chloride and benzyldi(2-chloroethyl)ethylammonium brornide.
Suitable anionic surfactants can be either so-called water-soluble soaps or water-soluble synthetic surface-active compounds. Soaps which are suitable are the aL~cali metal salts, aL~caline earth metal salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts of higher fatty acids (C10-C22), such as the sodium salts or potassium salts of oleic or stearic acid, or of natural rnixtures of fatty acids which can be obtained from, for example, coconut oil or tall oil; mention must also be made of the fatty acid methyltaurinates. However, so-called synthetic surfactants are used more frequently, in particular fatty sulfonates, fatty sulfates, sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives or alkylarylsulfonates. The fatty sulfonates and fatty sulfates are, as a rule, in the forrn of aL~ali metal salts, aL~caline earth metal salts or substituted or unsubstituted ammonium salts and have in general an alkyl radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, aL~cyl also including the alkyl moiety of acyl radicals; examples which may be mentioned are the sodium salt or calcium salt of ligninsulfonic acid, of the dodecylsulfuric ester or of a fatty alcohol sulfate mixture prepared with natural fatty acids.
This group also includes the salts of the sulfuric esters and sulfonic acids of fatty alcohoVethylene oxide adducts. The sulfonated benzimidazole derivatives have preferably 2 sulfonyl groups and a fatty acid radical having approxirnately 8 to 22 C atoms.
Alkylarylsulfonates are, for example, the sodium salts, calcium salts or triethanolarnmonium salts of dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid, of dibutylnaphthalenesulfonic acid or of a naphthalenesulfonic acid/formaldehyde condensation product. Suitable phosphates, for example salts of the phosphoric ester of a p-nonylphenol/(4-14)ethylene oxide adduct, or phospholipids, are also suitable.
As a rule, the compositions comprise 0.1 to 99%, in particular 0.1 to 95%, of active ingredient and 1 to 99.9%, in particular 5 to 99.9%, of at least one solid or liquid auxiliary, it being possible as a rule, for 0 to 25%, in particular 0.1 to 20%, of the compositions to be surfactants (% in each case meaning percent by weight). While concentrated compositions are more preferred as commercially available goods, the end consumer uses, as a rule, dilute compositions whose active substance concentrations are considerably lower.
Preferred compositions are in particular composed as follows (% = percent by weight):
g Emulsifiiable concentrates:
Active ingredient: 1 tO 90%, preferably S to 20%
Surfactant: 1 to 30%, preferably 10 to 20 %

Granules:
Active ingredient: 0.5 to 30%, preferably 3 to 15%
Solid carrier: 99.5 to 70%, preferably 97 to 85%
By adding other insecticidal active ingredients, the spectrum of action of the compositions according to the invention can be broadened considerably and adapted to prevailing circumstances. Suitable active ingredients which can be added are, for example, representatives of the following active ingredient classes: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenols and derivatives, formamidines, ureas, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations. The compositions according to the invention can also comprise other solid or liquid auxiliaries, such as stabiliærs, for example epoxidiæd or unepoxidized vegetable oils (for example epoxidiæd coconut oil, rapeseed oil or soya oil), antifoams, for example silicone oil, preservatives, viscosity regulators, binders and/or tackifiers, and fertiliærs or other active ingIedients for aehieving specific effects, for example bactericides, fungicides, nematicides, molluscicides or selective herbicides.

The compositions according to the invention are prepared in a known manner, for example in the absence of auxiliaries, grinding, screening and/or compressing of a solid active in-gredient or active ingredient mixture, for example to give a specific particle size, and in the presence of at least one auxiliary for example by intimately mixing and/or grinding the active ingredient or active ingredient rnixture with the additive(s). The invention also re-lates to these processes for the preparation of the compositions according to the invention and to the use of the compounds of the formula I for the preparation of these compositions.
The invention also relates to the methods of application for the compositions, that is to say the methods of controlling pests of the abovementioned type, such as spraying, atomizing, dusting, painting on, dressing, scattering or pouring, which are to be selected depending on the intended aims and the prevailing circumstances, and to the use of the compositions for the control of pests of the abovementioned type. Typical rates of concentration are between 0.1 and 1000 ppm, preferably between 0.1 and 500 ppm, of active ingredient.
Spray mixtures are employed, in particular, at active ingredient concentrations of 50, 100, 150 or 200 ppm. The rates of application per hectare are generally 1 to 2000 g of acdve ingredient per hectare, in particular 10 to 1000 g/ha, preferably 20 to 600 g/ha. Rates of application of 300, 400 or 450 g of active ingredient per hectare are preferred. Rates of application of 0.25, 0.75, 1.0 to 2.0 g of active ingredient per tree are preferred.
A preferred me~od of application in the field of crop protection is application to the foliage of the plant (folia application), where frequency and rate of application can be adapted to suit the danger of infestation with the pest in question. However, the active ingredient can also reach the plants through the root system (systerr;ic action) by drenching the locus of the plants with a liquid composition or incorporating the active ingredient in solid form into the locus of the plants, for example into the soil, for example in the form of granules (soil application).
