Description

COMBINATIONS OF ACTIVE PRODUCTS WITH INSECTICIDE PROPERTIES FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to new combinations of active products, containing at least one neonicotinoid chosen from Clothianidin and Imidacloprid, on the one hand and, at least, a cholinesterase inhibitor chosen between Ethoprophos and Aldicarb, by on the other hand, and that they are suitable in a very good way for the fight against pests, especially against insects and nematodes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is already known that the active product Clothianidin of the formula has insecticidal properties (see publications EP 0 376 279 A2 and EP 0 375 907 Al). Furthermore, it is already known that the cholinesterase inhibitors constituted by the Ethoprophos of the formula and by the Aldicarb of the formula REFU76152 have insecticidal properties (see US publication 3,112,244 A for the Ethoprophos and the US publication 3,217,037 A for the Aldicarb). In the same way, the insecticidal effect of the compound Imidacloprid of the formula is known (see, for example, publication EP 0 192 060 Al). There have also already been disclosed mixtures comprising the active product Clothianidin or Imidacloprid (see, for example, WO 03/63592, EP 1 359 803 Al, WO 96/37105 Al), which have an insecticidal effect. Of course the effect of these products or mixtures is not always satisfactory under certain conditions, on occasion of certain quantities applied and against certain pests. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION It has now been found that mixtures, comprising (A) Clothianidin and / or Imidacloprid and (B) at least one cholinesterase inhibitor chosen from Ethoprophos and Aldicarb have very good insecticidal and nematicidal properties. Surprisingly the activity, especially the insecticidal activity of the specific active compound combinations, according to the invention, is considerably greater than the sum of the effects of the individual active products. Therefore, a real synergistic effect is not predictable and not only a complement of the effects, which would be expected, per se. Furthermore, it has been observed that even mixtures already comprising only the two active products Imidacloprid and Aldicarb or Imidacloprid and Ethoprophos as well as a mixture comprising both Imidacloprid and also Ethoprophios and Aldicarb, have excellently good insecticidal and nematicidal properties, which they go beyond the simple sum of the effects of both individual active products. As active product combinations, according to the invention, preference will be given to: I. Clothianidin + Ethoprophos II. Clothianidin + Aldicarb III. Clothianidin + Ethoprophos + Imidacloprid IV. Clothianidin + Aldicarb + Imidacloprid V. Imidacloprid + Aldicarb VI. Imidacloprid + Ethoprophos VII. Imidacloprid + Ethoprophos + Aldicarb VIII. Clothianidin + Aldicarb + Ethoprophos + Imidacloprid Especially preferred active compound combinations are the combinations that have been mentioned under I., IV. , V. and VI. Preferably the combinations of active products indicated under I., II., III., IV., V., VI., VII. and VIII contain, as components with insecticidal activity, exclusively the active products mentioned, respectively, and no other insecticidal, acaricidal or nematicidal mixture component that has not been expressly mentioned above. The specific combinations develop as such an unexpected synergistic effect. Also the mixtures mentioned under V. already develop, as such, an unexpectedly good effect. The effect or applicability of this mixture can be further improved by the addition of Clothianidin. The active compound combinations according to the invention may contain, in addition to the active ingredients cited Clothianidin, Ethoprophos, Aldicarb and Imidacloprid, also other mixing components with fungicide, acaricide or insecticide activity. When the active products are present in the combinations of the active compounds I to IV, according to the invention, in certain proportions by weight, the synergistic effect is particularly evident. However, the proportions by weight of the active products may vary within a relatively wide range in the combinations of the active products. In general, the combinations according to the invention contain Clothianidin and either the mixing components in a mixing ratio from 125: 1 to 1: 25 (Clothianidin: mixing component), the mixing proportions being based on the proportions in weigh : When the active products are present in certain proportions by weight in the combinations of active products, according to the invention, V. to VIII. , the synergic effect is also observed in a particularly clear manner in this case. However, the proportions by weight of the active products may also vary within a relatively large range. In general, the combinations according to the invention contain, for example Aldicarb and Imidacloprid in a mixing ratio from 125: 1 to 1: 25, preferably from 5: 1 to 1: 25, and Ethoprophos and Imidacloprid in a mixing ratio from 125: 1 to 1: 25, preferably from 25: 1 to 1: 5, the mixing proportions being based on the proportions by weight. The combinations of the active products are suitable, with a good compatibility with the plants and with a favorable toxicity for warm-blooded animals as well as with good compatibility with the environment, for the protection of plants and plant organs, to increase crop yields, to improve the quality of harvested products and to combat animal pests, preferably against insects, arachnids and nematodes, which occur in agriculture, forestry, gardening and leisure facilities, for the protection of stored products and materials as well as in the hygiene sector.

By plants, all plants and plant populations, such as desired and unwanted wild plants or crop plants (including crop plants of natural origin), will be understood in this case. As crop plants cereals can be cited (wheat, oats, barley, centono, rice), corn, soybeans, potatoes, cotton, rapeseed as well as fruit plants (with the fruits apple, pear, citrus, banana, melon and grapes). The crop plants may also be plants that can be obtained by conventional cultivation and optimization methods or by means of biotechnological and genetic engineering methods or by combinations of these methods, including the transgenic planets and including the varieties protected by the right to protect plant varieties or non-protectable varieties. By parts of the plants all the parts and organs of the aerial and subterranean plants, such as shoots, leaves, flowers and roots, will be understood, being able to indicate in an exemplary way leaves, needles, stems, branches, flowers, body of fruits, fruits and seeds as well as roots, bulbs and rhizomes. The crops as well as the vegetative and generative reproductive material, for example seedlings, bulbs, rhizomes, layering and seeds, also belong to the plant parts. The treatment according to the invention of the plants and parts of the plants with the combination of active products is carried out directly or by action on the environment, the living space or the storage enclosure in accordance with the conventional treatment methods, for example by dipping, spraying, evaporating, fogging, spreading, brushing and, in the case of reproduction material, especially in the case of seeds, also by coating with one or more layers. Especially the mixtures according to the invention are suitable for the treatment of seeds. In this way a large part of the damage produced by pests on the crop plants is already generated by the attack of the seed during storage and after the introduction of the seed in the soil as well as during and immediately after the germination of the seed. the plants . This phase is especially critical since the roots and buds of growing plants are especially sensitive and a slight deterioration can lead to the death of the whole plant. Therefore there is an especially great interest in the seed and the germinating plant being protected by the use of suitable agents. The fight against pests by treating the seed of plants has been known for a long time and is the subject of permanent improvements. However, during the treatment of the seeds there is a series of problems that can not always be solved satisfactorily. In this way, the development of procedures for the protection of the seed and of the plant in germination should be sought, which make unnecessary the additional contribution of protective agents of the plants after sowing or after the outbreak of the plants. In addition, it is necessary to optimize the quantity of the active product used in such a way that the seed and the plant in germination are protected in the best possible way against the attack due to pests without, however, the plant itself being damaged by the active product used. . Especially the processes for the treatment of the plants must also include the intrinsically insecticidal properties of the transgenic plants to achieve an optimum protection of the seed and the plant in germination with a minimum cost in plant protection agents. The present invention is concerned, therefore, especially also to a process for the protection of the seeds and germinating plants before the attack by the pests, by treating the seed with an agent according to the invention. The invention also relates to the use of the agent according to the invention for the treatment of seeds for the protection of the seed and the germinating plant against pests. Furthermore, the invention relates to seeds, which have been treated with an agent according to the invention for protection against pests. One of the advantages of the present invention is that, as a consequence of the especially systemic properties of the agent according to the invention, the treatment of the seed with these agents not only protects the seed against pests, but also the plants that are born after the outbreak. In this way, the direct treatment of the crops at the time of sowing or shortly afterwards can be eliminated. Another advantage consists in the synergistic increase of the insecticidal activity of the agents according to the invention with respect to the corresponding individual products, which goes beyond the sum of the activity of both active products used individually. In this way an optimization of the quantity of the active product used is possible.

In the same way, it can be considered as advantageous that. the mixtures according to the invention can also be used in particular in the case of transgenic seeds, the plants, which come from these seeds, being able to express a protein directed against pests. By treating such seeds with the agents according to the invention, certain pests can already be controlled by the expression of the protein, for example insecticide, and, surprisingly, a synergistic complement of the activity is also produced with the agents according to the invention. which further improves the effectiveness of the protection with the attack by the pests. The agents according to the invention are suitable for the protection of seeds of any plant variety, as already mentioned above, which is used in agriculture, in the greenhouse, in forestry, in gardening or in vineyards. Especially in this case corn seeds, peanuts, cañola, rapeseed, poppy, olive, coconut, cocoa, soybean, cotton, beet (for example sugar beet and fodder beet), of rice, millet, wheat, barley, oats, rye, sunflower, sugar cane or tobacco. The agents according to the invention are also suitable for the treatment of the seeds of fruit and vegetable plants as mentioned above. The treatment of corn, soya, cotton, wheat and canola seeds or rape seeds is of special significance. As already indicated above, the treatment of transgenic seeds with an agent according to the invention also has a special significance. In this case, the seeds are plants which, as a rule, contain at least one heterologous gene, which controls the expression of a polypeptide with especially insecticidal properties. The heterologous genes in the transgenic seeds can also come from microorganisms such as Bacillus, Rhizobium, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Trichoderma, Clavibacter, Glomus or Gliocladium. The present invention is especially suitable for the treatment of -transgenic seeds, which contain at least one heterologous gene that comes from Bacillus sp. and whose genetic product shows activity against corn kernel and / or corn hepiálid. In a particularly preferred manner, this is a heterologous gene derived from Bacillus thuringiensis. Within the scope of the present invention, the agent according to the invention will be applied only or in a suitable formulation on the seeds. Preferably the seeds will be treated in a state in which they are so stable that no deterioration occurs during the treatment. In general, the treatment of the seeds can be carried out at any time between harvesting and sowing.

Usually the seeds that have been separated from the plants and that have been released from appendages, from husks, from rods, from pods, from wool or from the flesh of the fruit, will be used. In general, it should be taken into consideration at the time of the treatment of the seeds that the quantity of the agent according to the invention, applied to the seed and / or other additives, is chosen in such a way that germination of the seeds is not impaired. or the plants that are born from them are not damaged. This must be taken into consideration above all in the case of active products that may have phytotoxic effects with certain application quantities.

The agents according to the invention can be applied directly, ie without containing other components and without having been diluted. In general, it is preferred to apply the agents in the form of a suitable formulation on the seeds. Suitable formulations and methods for treating the seeds are known to those skilled in the art and have been described, for example, in the following documents: US 4, 272, 417 A, US 4,245,432 A, US 4,808,430 A, US 5,876,739 A, US 2003/0176428 A1, WO 2002/080675 A1, WO 2002/028186 A2. The active compound combinations can be transformed into the customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, sprayable powders, suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, granules, suspension-emulsion concentrates, natural and synthetic materials impregnated with the product active, as well as microencapsulated in polymer materials. These formulations are prepared in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, ie with liquid solvents and / or solid excipients, optionally with the use of surfactants, ie emulsifiers and / or dispersants and / or foam generating means. When water is used as an extender, organic solvents may be used, for example, as auxiliary solvents. Preferred liquid solvents are: aromatic hydrocarbons, such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol, as well as their ethers and esters, ketones, such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, or strongly polar solvents, such as such as dimethylformamide and dimethisulfoxide as well as water.

Suitable solid excipients are: for example ammonium salts and ground natural minerals, such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth and ground synthetic minerals, such as highly dispersed silicic acid, aluminum oxide and silicates, as solid excipients for granulates are considered: for example broken and fractionated natural minerals, such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, as well as synthetic granules of inorganic and organic flours and granules of organic material, such as sawdust, coconut husk shells, corn ears and tobacco stems; suitable emulsifiers and / or foamers are, for example, nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylenated esters of fatty acids, polyoxyethylenated ethers of fatty alcohols, for example, alkylaryl polyglycol ether, alkylsulfonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulfonates, as well as albumin hydrolysates; Dispersants are suitable as dispersants: for example, sulphite lignin liquors and methylcellulose. In the formulations, adhesives such as carboxymethyl cellulose, natural and synthetic polymers, powdered, granulated or in the form of latex, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids such as cephalon and lecithin, and synthetic phospholipids. Other additives can be mineral and vegetable oils. Dyes, such as inorganic pigments, for example, iron oxide, titanium oxide, Prussian blue and organic dyes, such as alizarin dyes, azo dyes and metal phthalocyanine dyes as well as nutrients in traces, such as the salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc. The formulations contain, in general, between 0.1 and 95% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 90% of active product.

The active compound combinations according to the invention can be present in their commercially available formulations as well as in the forms of application prepared from these formulations, in admixture with other active ingredients, such as insecticides, baits, sterilants, bactericides, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth regulators or herbicides. Insecticides include, for example, esters of phosphoric acid, carbamates, esters of carbonic acid, chlorinated hydrocarbons, phenylureas, products prepared by means of microorganisms and the like.
