Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the combination of novel nitrification inhibitors of formula I and insecticides and/or nematicides as well as to the combination of (thio)phosphoric acid tri- amide(s) and insecticides and/or nematicides.
  • the invention relates to the use of this combination of novel nitrification inhibitors and insecticides and/or nematicides for increasing the health of a plant, and to the use of the combination of (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s) and insecticides and/or nematicides for increasing the health of a plant, as well as compositions comprising the nitrification inhibitor and an insecticide and/or nematicide, and compositions comprising (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s) and an insecticide and/or nematicide.
  • Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth, plant health and reproduction. About 25% of the plant available nitrogen in soils (ammonium and nitrate) originate from decomposition pro- Deads (mineralization) of organic nitrogen compounds such as humus, plant and animal residues and organic fertilizers. Approximately 5% derive from rainfall. On a global basis, the biggest part (70%), however, are supplied to the plant by inorganic nitrogen fertilizers.
  • the mainly used nitrogen fertilizers comprise ammonium compounds or derivatives thereof, i.e. nearly 90% of the nitrogen fertilizers applied worldwide is in the NH 4 + form (Subbarao et al., 2012, Advances in Agronomy, 114, 249-302). This is, inter alia, due to the fact that Nh assimilation is energetically more efficient than assimilation of other nitrogen sources such as NO3 " .
  • NH 4 + is held electrostatically by the negatively charged clay surfaces and functional groups of soil organic matter. This binding is strong enough to limit NH 4 + -loss by leaching to groundwater.
  • NO3 " being negatively charged, does not bind to the soil and is liable to be leached out of the plants' root zone.
  • nitrate may be lost by denitri- fication which is the microbiological conversion of nitrate and nitrite (NO2 ) to gaseous forms of nitrogen such as nitrous oxide (N 2 0) and molecular nitrogen (N 2 ).
  • ammonium (N H 4 + ) compounds are converted by soil microorganisms to nitrates (NO3 " ) in a relatively short time in a process known as nitrification.
  • the nitrification is carried out primarily by two groups of chemolithotrophic bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of the genus Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, which are ubiquitous component of soil bacteria populations.
  • AOB ammonia-oxidizing bacteria
  • Nitrobacter which are ubiquitous component of soil bacteria populations.
  • the enzyme, which is essentially responsible for nitrification is ammonia monooxygenase (AMO), which was also found in ammonia-oxidizing archaea (Subbarao et al., 2012, Advances in Agronomy, 114, 249-302).
  • Suitable nitrification inhibitors include biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) such as linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, methyl p-coumarate, methyl ferulate, MHPP, Karanjin, brachi- alacton or the p-benzoquinone sorgoleone (Subbarao et al., 2012, Advances in Agronomy, 1 14, 249-302), or are based on neem-extract, including various compounds such as neemoil-coated fertilizers, neem-coated fertilizers, nimin-coated fertilizers and fertilizers with neem cake from the Indian neem tree (Azadirachta indica).
  • BNIs biological nitrification inhibitors
  • linoleic acid such as linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, methyl p-coumarate, methyl ferulate,
  • nitrification inhibitors are synthetic chemical inhibitors such as Nitrapyrin, dicyandiamide (DCD), 3,4-dimethyl pyrazole phosphate (DMPP), 4-amino-1 ,2,4-triazole hydrochloride (ATC), 1-amido-2-thiourea (ASU), 2-amino-4- chloro-6-methylpyrimidine (AM), 5-ethoxy-3-trichloromethyl-1 ,2,4-thiodiazole (terrazole), or 2- sulfanilamidothiazole (ST) (S GmbH and Kerkhoff, 1984, Fertilizer research, 5(1), 1 -76).

  • EP 0 917 526 further mentions the use of polyacids to treat mineral fertilizers containing a nitrification inhibitor in order to improve the fixation of the nitrification inhibitors in the inorganic fertilizer. Moreover, the volatility of the nitrification inhibitor can be reduced. However, many of these inhibitors only work sub-optimal or have undesirable side effects.
  • Healthier plants are desirable since they result among other in better crop yields and/or a better quality of the plants or crops. Healthier plants also better resist to biotic and abiotic stress. A better resistance to stress in turn allows reducing the quantity of pesticides, which also helps avoiding the development of resistances against the respective pesticides.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide a composition containing a nitrification inhibitor which increases the health of plants, and/or provides better crop yields and/or a better quality of the plants or crops, and/or shows a better resistance to stress, and/or allows the reduction of the quantity of pesticides used, and/or helps avoiding the development of resistances against the respective pesticides

Description

Combination of novel nitrification inhibitors and insecticides and/or nematicides as well as combination of (thio)phosphoric acid triamides and insecticides and/or nematicides
Description
The present invention relates to the combination of novel nitrification inhibitors of formula I and insecticides and/or nematicides as well as to the combination of (thio)phosphoric acid tri- amide(s) and insecticides and/or nematicides. Moreover, the invention relates to the use of this combination of novel nitrification inhibitors and insecticides and/or nematicides for increasing the health of a plant, and to the use of the combination of (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s) and insecticides and/or nematicides for increasing the health of a plant, as well as compositions comprising the nitrification inhibitor and an insecticide and/or nematicide, and compositions comprising (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s) and an insecticide and/or nematicide. Further encompassed by the present invention are methods for increasing the health of a plant comprising the treatment of plants, soil and/or loci with said combination of the novel nitrification inhibitor or (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s) and an insecticide and/or nematicide.
Nitrogen is an essential element for plant growth, plant health and reproduction. About 25% of the plant available nitrogen in soils (ammonium and nitrate) originate from decomposition pro- cesses (mineralization) of organic nitrogen compounds such as humus, plant and animal residues and organic fertilizers. Approximately 5% derive from rainfall. On a global basis, the biggest part (70%), however, are supplied to the plant by inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. The mainly used nitrogen fertilizers comprise ammonium compounds or derivatives thereof, i.e. nearly 90% of the nitrogen fertilizers applied worldwide is in the NH4 + form (Subbarao et al., 2012, Advances in Agronomy, 114, 249-302). This is, inter alia, due to the fact that Nh assimilation is energetically more efficient than assimilation of other nitrogen sources such as NO3".
Moreover, being a cation, NH4 + is held electrostatically by the negatively charged clay surfaces and functional groups of soil organic matter. This binding is strong enough to limit NH4 +-loss by leaching to groundwater. By contrast, NO3", being negatively charged, does not bind to the soil and is liable to be leached out of the plants' root zone. In addition, nitrate may be lost by denitri- fication which is the microbiological conversion of nitrate and nitrite (NO2 ) to gaseous forms of nitrogen such as nitrous oxide (N20) and molecular nitrogen (N2). However, ammonium (N H4 +) compounds are converted by soil microorganisms to nitrates (NO3" ) in a relatively short time in a process known as nitrification. The nitrification is carried out primarily by two groups of chemolithotrophic bacteria, ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) of the genus Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, which are ubiquitous component of soil bacteria populations. The enzyme, which is essentially responsible for nitrification is ammonia monooxygenase (AMO), which was also found in ammonia-oxidizing archaea (Subbarao et al., 2012, Advances in Agronomy, 114, 249-302).
The nitrification process typically leads to nitrogen leakage and environmental pollution. As a result of the various losses, approximately 50% of the applied nitrogen fertilizers is lost during the year following fertilizer addition (see Nelson and Huber; Nitrification inhibitors for corn production (2001 ), National Corn Handbook, Iowa State University).
As countermeasures the use of nitrification inhibitors, mostly together with fertilizers, was sug- gested. Suitable nitrification inhibitors include biological nitrification inhibitors (BNIs) such as linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, methyl p-coumarate, methyl ferulate, MHPP, Karanjin, brachi- alacton or the p-benzoquinone sorgoleone (Subbarao et al., 2012, Advances in Agronomy, 1 14, 249-302), or are based on neem-extract, including various compounds such as neemoil-coated fertilizers, neem-coated fertilizers, nimin-coated fertilizers and fertilizers with neem cake from the Indian neem tree (Azadirachta indica). Further suitable nitrification inhibitors are synthetic chemical inhibitors such as Nitrapyrin, dicyandiamide (DCD), 3,4-dimethyl pyrazole phosphate (DMPP), 4-amino-1 ,2,4-triazole hydrochloride (ATC), 1-amido-2-thiourea (ASU), 2-amino-4- chloro-6-methylpyrimidine (AM), 5-ethoxy-3-trichloromethyl-1 ,2,4-thiodiazole (terrazole), or 2- sulfanilamidothiazole (ST) (Slangen and Kerkhoff, 1984, Fertilizer research, 5(1), 1 -76).
EP 0 917 526 further mentions the use of polyacids to treat mineral fertilizers containing a nitrification inhibitor in order to improve the fixation of the nitrification inhibitors in the inorganic fertilizer. Moreover, the volatility of the nitrification inhibitor can be reduced. However, many of these inhibitors only work sub-optimal or have undesirable side effects.
In view of this situation there is hence a continuous need for compositions that increase the health of plants. Healthier plants are desirable since they result among other in better crop yields and/or a better quality of the plants or crops. Healthier plants also better resist to biotic and abiotic stress. A better resistance to stress in turn allows reducing the quantity of pesticides, which also helps avoiding the development of resistances against the respective pesticides.
One object of the present invention is to provide a composition containing a nitrification inhibitor which increases the health of plants, and/or provides better crop yields and/or a better quality of the plants or crops, and/or shows a better resistance to stress, and/or allows the reduction of the quantity of pesticides used, and/or helps avoiding the development of resistances against the respective pesticides Another object of the present invention is to provide a composition containing the
(thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s) (T) which - each preferably through a synergistic action -
(i) enhances the stability of the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s), and/or
(ii) enhances the urease inhibiting effect of the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s), and/or
(iii) enhances the yield increase effect of the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide(s), and/or (iv) has a relatively long storage life, particularly before being applied to or coated on nitrogen- containing fertilizers, and/or
(v) reduces the emission of nitrous oxide from soils, and/or

(viii) does not adversely affect the urease-inhibiting effect and/or activity of the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide, and/or
(ix) can be easily and safely packaged, transported and shipped, even in large quantities, and/or
(x) can be easily and safely handled and applied for soil treatment, even in large quantities, and/or
(xi) improves the nutrient use efficiency, and/or

(xxii) reduce or avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects whilst still allowing effective pest control, and/or
(xxiii) enable earlier seed germination and/or blooming.
The objects (xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xvi), (xvii) and (xxi) particularly pertains to such plants or seedlings wherein such plants or seedlings were, or the soil in which the such plants or seedlings were placed was subject to the application of compositon of the present invention.

The term "in a synergistic way" means that the composition comprising the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) and a further compound can fulfil the one or more of the objects (i) to (xxvii) significantly better than the individual compounds - i.e. the (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) or said further compound - alone can do, and preferably, this better fulfilment of the objects by said composition compared to the individual compounds is evidenced by calculations according to Colby' s formula, see Colby, S. R. (Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide Combinations", Weeds, 15, pp. 20-22, 1967).

In a central aspect the present invention thus relates to the use of a combination of a nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein above, or of a composition comprising said combination of a nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or ne- maticide as defined herein for increasing the health of a plant. The nitrification inhibitor or derivatives or salts thereof as defined herein above in combination with an insecticide and/or nematicide, in particular compounds of formula I and/or salts or suitable derivatives thereof in combination with an insecticide and/or nematicide, as well as compositions comprising said nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein may be used for in- creasing the health of a plant.
The use may be based on an application of the combination of the nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide, the or the composition as defined herein to a plant growing on soil and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is intended to grow, or the application of the combination of the nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide, or the composition as defined herein to soil where a plant is growing or is intended to grow or to soil substituents. In specific embodiments, the combination of the nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide may be used in the absence of plants, e.g. as preparatory activity for subsequent agricultural activity.
The use may further include the application of a combination of an insecticide and/or nematicide and (T) or the nitrification inhibitor r or derivatives or salts thereof as defined herein above, in particular compounds of formula I and/or salts or suitable derivatives thereof, as well as compositions comprising said combination of an insecticide and/or nematicide and (T) or the nitrification inhibitor,as defined herein above to environments, areas or zones, where nitrification takes place or is assumed or expected to take place. Such environments, areas or zones may, in specific embodiments, not comprise plants or soil, but be planned for subsequent growth of plants. Examples of such environments are laboratory environments or green houses or similar indoor facilities.
The term "plant health" as used herein is intended to mean a condition of the plant which is de- termined by several aspects alone or in combination with each other. One indicator (indicator 1 ) for the condition of the plant is the crop yield. "Crop" and "fruit" are to be understood as any plant product which is further utilized after harvesting, e.g. fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g. in the case of silviculture plants), flowers (e.g. in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals) etc., that is anything of economic value that is produced by the plant. Another indicator (indicator 2) for the condition of the plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor becomes manifest in several aspects, too, some of which are visual appearance, e.g. leaf color, fruit color and aspect, amount of dead basal leaves and/or extent of leaf blades, plant weight, plant height, extent of plant verse (lodging), number, strong ness and productivity of tillers, panicles' length, extent of root system, strongness of roots, extent of nodulation, in par- ticular of rhizobial nodulation, point of time of germination, emergence, flowering, grain maturity and/or senescence, protein content, sugar content and the like. Another indicator (indicator 3) for an increase of a plant's health is the reduction of biotic or abiotic stress factors.
The three above mentioned indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent and may result from each other. For example, a reduction of biotic stress may lead to a better plant vigor, e.g. to better and bigger crops, and thus to an increased yield.
Biotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on plants. The term "biotic stress" as used in the context of the present invention refers in particular to stress caused by living organisms, such as insects, arachnids or nematodes. As a result, the quantity and the quality of the stressed plants, their crops and fruits decrease. As far as quality is concerned, reproductive development is usually severely affected with consequences on the crops which are important for fruits or seeds. Growth may be slowed by the stresses; polysaccharide synthesis, both structural and storage, may be reduced or modified: these effects may lead to a decrease in biomass and to changes in the nutritional value of the product. A reduction of biotic stress factors may, for example, be due to an insecticidal effect to insects, arachnids or nematodes of an insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein. Abiotic stress includes drought, cold, increased UV, increased heat, or other changes in the environment of the plant, that leads to sub-optimal growth conditions. A reduction of abiotic stress factors may, for example, be due to a reduction of nitrification and a corresponding improvement of uptake of nitrogen nutrients.
The term "increased yield" of a plant as used herein means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is increased by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the composition of the invention. According to the present invention, it is preferred that the yield be increased by at least 0,5 %, more preferred at least 1 %, even more preferred at least 2 %, still more preferred at least 4 %. An increased yield may, for example, be due to a reduction of nitrification and a corresponding improvement of uptake of nitrogen nutrients, as well as an insecticidal effect to insects, arachnids or nematodes of an insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein.
The term "improved plant vigor" as used herein means that certain crop characteristics are in- creased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the composition of the present invention. Improved plant vigor can be characterized, among others, by following improved properties of a plant:
(a) improved vitality of the plant,
(b) improved quality of the plant and/or of the plant products, e.g.
(b) enhanced protein content,
(c) improved visual appearance,
(d) delay of senescence,
(e) enhanced root growth and/or more developed root system (e.g. determined by the dry mass of the root),
(f) enhanced nodulation, in particular rhizobial nodulation,
(g) longer panicles,
(h) bigger leaf blade,
(i) less dead basal leaves,
(j) increased chlorophyll content
(k) prolonged photosynthetically active period
The improvement of the plant vigor according to the present invention particularly means that the improvement of anyone or several or all of the above mentioned plant characteristics are improved. It further means that if not all of the above characteristics are improved, those which are not improved are not worsened as compared to plants which were not treated according to the invention or are at least not worsened to such an extent that the negative effect exceeds the positive effect of the improved characteristic (i.e. there is always an overall positive effect which preferably results in an improved crop yield). An improved plant vigor may, for example, be due to a reduction of nitrification and a corresponding improvement of uptake of nitrogen nutrients, as well an insecticidal effect to insects, arachnids or nematodes of an insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein. It is particularly preferred that said increase of the health of a plant is reflected by an increase in growth of root and shoot and/or an overall increase in productivity and/or a faster and more efficient development of the plant. The term "reducing nitrification" or "reduction of nitrification" as used herein refers to a slowing down or stopping of nitrification processes, e.g. by retarding or eliminating the natural transformation of ammonium into nitrate. Such reduction may be a complete or partial elimination of nitrification at the plant or locus where the inhibitor or composition comprising said inhibitor is applied. For example, a partial elimination may result in a residual nitrification on or in the plant, or in or on the soil or soil substituents where a plant grows or is intended to grow of about 90% to 1 %, e.g. 90%, 85%, 80%, 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10% or less than 10%, e.g. 5% or less than 5% in comparison to a control situation where the nitrification inhibitor is not used. In certain embodiments, a partial elimination may result in a residual nitrification on or in the plant or in or on the soil or soil substituents where a plant grows or is intended to grow of below 1 %, e.g. at 0.5%, 0.1 % or less in comparison to a control situation where the nitrification inhibitor is not used.
An "insecticide" as mentioned herein above may be any insecticide known to the skilled person. An insecticide typically shows an outstanding effectiveness against biotic stresses caused by a broad spectrum of insects or arachnids, in particular phytopathogenic insects or arachnids.
An "nematicide" as mentioned herein above may be any insecticide known to the skilled person. A nematicide typically shows an outstanding effectiveness against biotic stresses caused by a broad spectrum of nematodes, in particular phytopathogenic nematodes.

Accordingly, the present invention furthermore relates to compositions comprising as compound I (component 1 , referrred to as "Co.1 ") a (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) as defined herein above and as compound II (component 2, referred to as "Co. 2") an insecticide and/or nemati- cide as defined herein, i.e. a combination of component 1 and 2. In preferred embodiments, such compositions may be selected from the component 1 of Table 3 in the column titled "Co. 1 " and from component 2 of Table 3 in the column titled "Co. 2". N-n-butylthiophosphoric acid tri- amide (NBPT) is referred to as "(W)". N-(n-propyl) thiophosphoric acid triamide (NPPT) or any mixtures comprising NBPT and NPPT, wherein N BPT is present in amounts of from 1 to 99.99 wt.%, more preferably from 10 to 99.9 wt.%, most preferably from 20 to 99 wt.%, particularly preferably from 30 to 98 wt.%, more particularly preferably from 40 to 95 wt.%, most particularly preferably from 50 to 90 wt.%, especially from 60 to 85 wt.%, especially preferably from 72 to 80 wt.%, for example from 74 to 77 wt.%, in each case based on the total weight of the
(thio)phosphoric acid triamides (T) contained in the composition (Q), is referred to as (Y). N-n- butylthiophosphoric acid triamide (NBPT) but not comprising any nitrification inhibitor of the compound of formula I is referred to as (Z), thus, all compositions or mixtures i355 to i531 do not comprise any nitrification inhibitor of the compound of formula I. NBPT and/or NPPT and additionally comprising a urea-containing fertilizer is referred to as "(U)", wherein such urea- containing fertilizer is preferably urea, formaldehyde urea, UAN, urea sulfur, stabilized urea, urea based NPK-fertilizers, or urea ammonium sulfate and is most preferably UAN. The application of the compositions or mixtures i1 to i708 can be carried out in a way that its individual components (for example Co. 1 and Co. 2, in case of i532 to i708 NBPT/NPPT and the urea- containing fertilizer and Co. 2) are applied either simultaneously or with a time lag as further specified below. Preferred embodiments thus include the specified combinations or composi- tions comprising component 1 and 2 as defined in the compositions or mixtures X1 to X708 of the following Table 3:

In further specific embodiments, the present invention relates to the use of compositions for increasing the health of a plant, which comprise the combination of an insecticide and/or nematicide and a nitrification inhibitor as defined herein and additionally a fertilizer. Such compositions may be used and provided as agricultural mixtures. The use of a combination as defined herein above, in particular of a combination of a nitrification inhibitor as defined herein above and an insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein above, or of a composition as defined herein for increasing the health of a plant may be a single use, or it may be a repeated use. As single use, the combination or corresponding compositions may be provided to their target sites, e.g. soil or loci, or objects, e.g. plants, only once in a physiologically relevant time interval, e.g. once a year, or once every 2 to 5 years, or once during the lifetime of a plant.
In other embodiments, the use may be repeated at least once per time period, e.g. the combina- tion as defined herein above, or a composition as defined herein may be used for increasing the health of a plant two times within a time interval of days, weeks or months. The term "at least once" as used in the context of a use of the combination means that the combination may be used two times, or several times, i.e. that a repetition or multiple repetitions of an application or treatment with the combinationmay be envisaged. Such a repetition may a 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times or more frequent repetition of the use.
The combination according to the present invention or its components may be used in any suitable form. For example, it may be used as coated or uncoated granule, in liquid or semi-liquid form, as sprayable entity, or in irrigation approaches etc. In further embodiments, the compo- nents may be used in different forms. In specific embodiments, the components may be applied or used as such, i.e.without formulations, fertilizer, additional water, coatings, or any further ingredient.
The term "irrigation" as used herein refers to the watering of plants or loci or soils or soil substit- uents where a plant grows or is intended to grow, wherein said watering includes the provision of the combination or a corresponding composition according to the present invention together with water.
In a further aspect the invention relates to a composition for increasing the health of a plant comprising (T) or at least one nitrification inhibitor wherein said nitrification inhibitor is a compound of formula I or a derivative as defined herein above; and at least one insecticide and/or nematicide as defined herein above. In a preferred embodiment, the composition comprises the combination of nitrification inhibitor and insecticide and/or nematicide as defined in Table 2, supra. In another preferred embodiment, the composition comprises the combination of a (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) and insecticide and/or nematicide as defined in Table 3, supra. In another preferred embodiment, the composition for increasing the health of a plant comprises the combination of a (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) and insecticide and/or nematicide as defined in Table 3, supra. In another preferred embodiment, the composition for increasing the insectidical and/or nematicidal activity of an insecticide and/or nematicide comprises the combination of a (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) and insecticide and/or nematicide as defined in Table 3, supra.
In further specific embodiments, the agricultural compositon further comprises acarrier. The term " composition for increasing the health of a plant" as used herein refers to a composition which is suitable, e.g. comprises effective concentrations and amounts of ingredients such as (T) or nitrification inhibitors, in particular compounds of formula I or derivatives as defined herein, and insecticides and/or nematicides for increasing the health of a plant. This includes the reduction of nitrification in any context or environment in which nitrification may occur and the reduction of biotic stress factors due to an insecticidal or nematicidal effect toinsects or nematodes, respectively. In one embodiment, the nitrification and biotic stress may be reduced in or on or at the locus of a plant. Typically, the nitrification may be reduced in the root zone of a plant. In specific embodiments, the composition may be an agricultural composition, i.e. a com- position adapated to the use in the agricultural field. "Effective amounts" or "effective concentrations" of (T) or nitrification inhibitors and insecticides and/or nematicides as defined herein may be determined according to suitable in vitro and in vivo testings known to the skilled person. These amounts and concentrations may be adjusted to the locus, plant, soil, climate conditions or any other suitable parameter which may have an influence on nitrification processes, and/or on competitive plant growth.
An "carrier" as used herein is a substance or composition which facilitates the delivery and/or release of the ingredients to the place or lcous of destination. The term includes, for instance, agrochemical carriers which facilitate the delivery and/or release of agrochemicals in their field of use, in particular on or into plants.
Examples of suitable carriers include solid carriers such as phytogels, or hydrogels, or mineral earths e.g. silicates, silica gels, talc, kaolins, limestone, lime, chalk, bole, loess, clays, dolomite, diatomaceous earth, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, magnesium oxide, ground synthetic materials, fertilizers, such as, e.g. urea, urea based NPK, UAN, ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, ureas, and products of vegetable origin, such as cereal meal, tree bark meal, wood meal and nutshell meal, cellulose powders and other solid carriers. Further suitable examples of carriers include fumed silica or precipitated silica, which may, for instance, be used in solid formulations as flow aid, anti-caking aid, milling aid and as carrier for liquid active ingredients. Additional examples of suitable carriers are microparticles, for instance microparticles which stick to plant leaves and release their content over a certain period of time. In specific embodiments, agrochemical carriers such as composite gel microparticles that can be used to deliver plant-protection active principles, e.g. as described in US 6,180,141 ; or compositions comprising at least one phytoactive compound and an encapsulating adjuvant, where- in the adjuvant comprises a fungal cell or a fragment thereof, e.g. as described in WO
2005/102045; or carrier granules, coated with a lipophilic tackifier on the surface, wherein the carrier granule adheres to the surface of plants, grasses and weeds, e.g. as disclosed in US 2007/0280981 may be used. In further specific embodiments, such carriers may include specific, strongly binding molecule which assure that the carrier sticks to the plant till its content is completely delivered. For instance, the carrier may be or comprise cellulose binding domains (CBDs) have been described as useful agents for attachment of molecular species to cellulose (see US 6,124,1 17); or direct fusions between a CBD and an enzyme; or a multifunctional fusion protein which may be used for delivery of encapsulated agents, wherein the multifunctional fusion proteins may consist of a first binding domain which is a carbohydrate binding domain and a second binding domain, wherein either the first binding domain or the second binding domain can bind to a microparticle (see also WO 03/031477). Further suitable examples of carriers include bifunctional fusion proteins consisting of a CBD and an anti-RR6 antibody fragment binding to a microparticle, which complex may be deposited onto treads or cut grass (see also WO 03/031477). In another specific embodiment the carrier may be active ingredient carrier granules that adhere to the surface of plants, grasses and weeds etc. using a moisture-active coating, for instance including gum arabic, guar gum, gum karaya, gum tragacanth and locust bean gum. Upon application of the inventive granule onto a plant surface, water from precipitation, irrigation, dew, co-application with the granules from special application equipment, or gut- tation water from the plant itself may provide sufficient moisture for adherence of the granule to the plant surface (see also US 2007/0280981 ).
In another specific embodiment the carrier, e.g. an agrochemical carrier may be or comprise polyaminoacids. Polyaminoacids may be obtained according to any suitable process, e.g. by polymerization of single or multiple amino acids such as glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleu- cine, phenylalanine, proline, tryptophan, serine, tyrosine, cysteine, methionine, asparagine, glu- tamine, threonine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, lysine, arginine, histidine and/or ornithine. Polyaminoacids may be combined with a combination of a nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide according to the present invention and, in certain embodiments, also with further carriers, e.g. agrochemical carriers, as mentioned herein above, or other nitrification inhibitors as mentioned herein in any suitable ratio. For example, polyaminoacids may be combined with (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention in a ratio of 1 to 10 (polyaminoacids) vs. 0.5 to 2 (combination according to the present invention, or nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention).

In further specific embodiments, the agricultural compositon as defined herein above may additionally comprises an fertilizer. In case the combination of insecticides and/or nematicides and (T) or nitrification inhibitors is used together with a fertilizer, or when a composition is provided in combination with a fertilizer, such mixtures may be provided or used as agrochemical mix- tures.
In the terms of the present invention "agrochemical mixture" means a combination of at three or more compounds. The term is, however, not restricted to a physical mixture comprising three or more compounds, but refers to any preparation form of said compounds, the use of which many be time- and/or locus-related.
The agrochemical mixtures may, for example, be formulated separately but applied in a temporal relationship, i.e. simultaneously or subsequently, the subsequent application having a time interval which allows a combined action of the compounds.
Furthermore, the individual compounds of the agrochemical mixtures according to the invention such as parts of a kit or parts of the mixture may be mixed by the user himself in a suitable mixing device. In specific embodiments further auxiliaries may be added, if appropriate. The term "fertilizers" is to be understood as chemical compounds applied to promote plant and fruit growth. Fertilizers are typically applied either through the soil (for uptake by plant roots), through soil substituents (also for uptake by plant roots), or by foliar feeding (for uptake through leaves). The term also includes mixtures of one or more different types of fertilizers as mentioned below. The term "fertilizers" can be subdivided into several categories including: a) organic fertilizers (composed of decayed plant/animal matter), b) inorganic fertilizers (composed of chemicals and minerals) and c) urea-containing fertilizers.
Organic fertilizers include manure, e.g. liquid manure, semi-liquid manure, biogas manure, stable manure or straw manure, slurry, liquid dungwater, sewage sludge, worm castings, peat, seaweed, sewage, and guano. Green manure crops are also regularly grown to add nutrients (especially nitrogen) to the soil. Manufactured organic fertilizers include compost, blood meal, bone meal and seaweed extracts. Further examples are enzyme digested proteins, fish meal, and feather meal. The decomposing crop residue from prior years is another source of fertility.
Inorganic fertilizers are usually manufactured through chemical processes (such as the Haber- Bosch process), also using naturally occurring deposits, while chemically altering them (e.g. concentrated triple superphosphate). Naturally occurring inorganic fertilizers include Chilean sodium nitrate, mine rock phosphate, limestone, sulfate of potash, muriate of potash, and raw potash fertilizers.
Typical solid fertilizers are in a crystalline, prilled or granulated form. Typical nitrogen containing inorganic fertilizers are ammonium nitrate, calcium ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, ammonium sulfate nitrate, calcium nitrate, diammonium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate, ammonium thio sulfate and calcium cyanamide.
The inorganic fertilizer may be an NPK fertilizer. "NPK fertilizers" are inorganic
fertilizers formulated in appropriate concentrations and combinations comprising the three main nutrients nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) as well as
typically S, Mg, Ca, and trace elements. "NK fertilizers" comprise the two main
nutrients nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) as well as typically S, Mg, Ca, and trace
elements. "NP fertilizers" comprise the two main nutrients nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) as well as typically S, Mg, Ca, and trace elements.
Urea-containing fertilizer may, in specific embodiments, be formaldehyde urea, UAN, urea sulfur, stabilized urea, urea based NPK-fertilizers, or urea ammonium sulfate. Also envisaged is the use of urea as fertilizer. In case urea-containing fertilizers or urea are used or provided, it is particularly preferred that urease inhibitors as defined herein above may be added or additionally be present, or be used at the same time or in connection with the urea-containing fertilizers.
Fertilizers may be provided in any suitable form, e.g. as coated or uncoated granules, in liquid or semi-liquid form, as sprayable fertilizer, or via fertigation etc.
Coated fertilizers may be provided with a wide range of materials. Coatings may, for example, be applied to granular or prilled nitrogen (N) fertilizer or to multi-nutrient fertilizers. Typically, urea is used as base material for most coated fertilizers. The present invention, however, also relates to the use of other base materials for coated fertilizers, any one of the fertilizer materials defined herein. In certain embodiments, elemental sulfur may be used as fertilizer coating. The coating may be performed by spraying molten S over urea granules, followed by an application of sealant wax to close fissures in the coating. In a further embodiment, the S layer may be covered with a layer of organic polymers, preferably a thin layer of organic polymers. In another embodiment, the coated fertilizers are preferably physical mixtures of coated and non-coated fertilizers.
Further envisaged coated fertilizers may be provided by reacting resin-based polymers on the surface of the fertilizer granule. A further example of providing coated fertilizers includes the use of low permeability polyethylene polymers in combination with high permeability coatings.
In specific embodiments the composition and/or thickness of the fertilizer coating may be adjusted to control, for example, the nutrient release rate for specific applications. The duration of nutrient release from specific fertilizers may vary, e.g. from several weeks to many months. The presence of (T) or nitrification inhibitors and insecticides and/or nematicides in a mixture with coated fertilizers may accordingly be adapted. It is, in particular, envisaged that the nutrient release involves or is accompanied by the release of a nitrification inhibitor or (T) and an insecticide and/or nematicide according to the present invention. Coated fertilizers may be provided as controlled release fertilizers (CRFs). In specific embodiments these controlled release fertilizers are fully coated N-P-K fertilizers, which are homogeneous and which typically show a pre-defined longevity of release. In further embodiments, the CRFs may be provided as blended controlled release fertilizer products which may contain coated, uncoated and/or slow release components. In certain embodiments, these coated ferti- lizers may additionally comprise micronutrients. In specific embodiments these fertilizers may show a pre-defined longevity, e.g. in case of N-P-K fertilizers.
Additionally envisaged examples of CRFs include patterned release fertilizers. These fertilizers typically show a pre-defined release patterns (e.g. hi/standard/lo) and a pre-defined longevity. In exemplary embodiments fully coated N-P-K, Mg and micronutrients may be delivered in a patterned release manner.
Also envisaged are double coating approaches or coated fertilizers based on a programmed release.
In further embodiments the fertilizer mixture may be provided as, or may comprise or contain a slow release fertilizer. The fertilizer may, for example, be released over any suitable period of time, e.g. over a period of 1 to 5 months, preferably up to 3 months. Typical examples of ingredients of slow release fertilizers are IBDU (isobutylidenediurea), e.g. containing about 31-32 % nitrogen, of which 90% is water insoluble; or UF, i.e. an urea-formaldehyde product which contains about 38 % nitrogen of which about 70 % may be provided as water insoluble nitrogen; or CDU (crotonylidene diurea) containing about 32 % nitrogen; or MU (methylene urea) containing about 38 to 40% nitrogen, of which 25-60 % is typically cold water insoluble nitrogen; or MDU (methylene diurea) containing about 40% nitrogen, of which less than 25 % is cold water insolu- ble nitrogen; or MO (methylol urea) containing about 30% nitrogen, which may typically be used in solutions; or DMTU (diimethylene triurea) containing about 40% nitrogen, of which less than 25% is cold water insoluble nitrogen; or TMTU (tri methylene tetraurea), which may be provided as component of UF products; or TMPU (tri methylene pentaurea), which may also be provided as component of UF products; or UT (urea triazone solution) which typically contains about 28 % nitrogen.
Any of the above mentioned fertilizers or fertilizer forms may suitably be combined. For instance, slow release fertilizers may be provided as coated fertilizers. They may also be com- bined with other fertilizers or fertilizer types. The same applies to the presence of (T) or a nitrification inhibitor or an insecticide and/or nematicide according to the present invention, which may be adapted to the form and chemical nature of the fertilizer and accordingly be provided such that its release accompanies the release of the fertilizer, e.g. is released at the same time or with the same frequency. The present invention further relates to fertilizer or fertilizer forms as defined herein above in combination with nitrification inhibitors as defined herein above and insecticides and/or nematicides and further in combination with urease inhibitors as defined herein above.

This includes seeds, grains, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, cuttings, spores, offshoots, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants, including seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil, meristem tissues, single and multiple plant cells and any other plant tissue from which a complete plant can be obtained.
The term "genetically modified plants" is to be understood as plants, which genetic material has been modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques in a way that under natural circumstances it cannot readily be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such genetic modifications also include but are not limited to targeted post-translational modification of protein(s), oligo- or polypeptides e. g. by glycosylation or polymer additions such as prenylated, acetylated or farne- sylated moieties or PEG moieties. Plants that have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering, e. g. have been rendered tolerant to applications of specific classes of herbicides, such as auxin herbicides such as dicamba or 2,4-D; bleacher herbicides such as hydroxylphenylpyruvate dioxy- genase (H PPD) inhibitors or phytoene desaturase (PDS) inhibitors; acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors such as sulfonyl ureas or imidazolinones; enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) inhibitors, such as glyphosate; glutamine synthetase (GS) inhibitors such as glufosinate; protoporphyrinogen-IX oxidase inhibitors; lipid biosynthesis inhibitors such as acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors; or oxynil (i. e. bromoxynil or ioxynil) herbicides as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. Furthermore, plants have been made resistant to multiple classes of herbicides through multiple genetic modifications, such as resistance to both glyphosate and glufosinate or to both glyphosate and a herbicide from another class such as ALS inhibitors, HPPD inhibitors, auxin herbicides, or ACCase inhibitors. These herbicide resistance technologies are e. g. described in Pest Managem. Sci. 61 , 2005, 246; 61 , 2005, 258; 61 , 2005, 277; 61 , 2005, 269; 61 , 2005, 286; 64, 2008, 326; 64, 2008, 332; Weed Sci. 57, 2009, 108; Austral. J. Agricult. Res. 58, 2007, 708; Science 316, 2007, 1 185; and references quoted therein. Several cultivated plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis), e. g. Clearfield® summer rape (Canola, BASF SE, Germany) being tolerant to imidazolinones, e. g. imazamox, or ExpressSun® sunflowers (DuPont, USA) being tolerant to sulfonyl ureas, e. g. tribenuron. Genetic engineering methods have been used to render cultivated plants such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and rape, tolerant to herbicides such as glyphosate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate-tolerant, Monsanto, U.S.A.), Cul- tivance® (imidazolinone tolerant, BASF SE, Germany) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate-tolerant, Bayer CropScience, Germany).
Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins, especially those known from the bacterial genus Bacillus, particularly from Bacillus thuringiensis, such as δ-endotoxins, e. g.

VIP1 , VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonizing nematodes, e. g. P 'h otorh a bd 'us spp. or Xenorhabdus spp.; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins, or other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea or barley lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin or papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdyster- oid-IDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors or HMG-CoA-reductase; ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone receptors (helicokinin receptors); stilbene synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases or glucanases. In the context of the present invention these insecticidal proteins or toxins are to be understood expressly also as pre-toxins, hybrid proteins, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Hybrid proteins are characterized by a new combination of protein domains, (see, e. g. WO 02/015701). Further examples of such toxins or genetically modified plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are disclosed, e. g., in EP-A 374 753, WO 93/007278, WO 95/34656, EP-A 427 529, EP-A 451 878, WO 03/18810 und WO 03/52073.
The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e. g. in the publications mentioned above. These insecticidal proteins contained in the genetically modified plants impart to the plants producing these proteins tolerance to harmful pests from all taxonomic groups of arthropods, especially to beetles (Coeloptera), two-winged insects (Diptera), and moths (Lepidoptera) and to nematodes (Nema- toda). Genetically modified plants capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins are, e. g., described in the publications mentioned above, and some of which are commercially available such as YieldGard® (corn cultivars producing the Cry1 Ab toxin), YieldGard® Plus (corn culti- vars producing Cry1 Ab and Cry3Bb1 toxins), Starlink® (corn cultivars producing the Cry9c tox- in), Herculex® RW (com cultivars producing Cry34Ab1 , Cry35Ab1 and the enzyme phosphino- thricin-N-acetyltransferase [PAT]); NuCOTN® 33B (cotton cultivars producing the Cry1 Ac toxin), Bollgard® I (cotton cultivars producing the Cryl Ac toxin), Bollgard® II (cotton cultivars producing Cry1 Ac and Cry2Ab2 toxins); VIPCOT® (cotton cultivars producing a VIP-toxin); NewLeaf® (po- tato cultivars producing the Cry3A toxin); Bt-Xtra®, NatureGard®, KnockOut®, BiteGard®, Pro- tecta®, Bt1 1 (e. g.

Cryl Ac toxin) and 1507 from Pioneer Overseas Corporation, Belgium (corn cultivars producing the Cry1 F toxin and PAT enzyme).
Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capa- ble to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the resistance or tolerance of those plants to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens. Examples of such proteins are the so-called "pathogenesis- related proteins" (PR proteins, see, e. g. EP-A 392 225), plant disease resistance genes (e. g. potato cultivars, which express resistance genes acting against Phytophthora infestans derived from the Mexican wild potato Solarium bulbocastanum) or T4-lysozym (e. g. potato cultivars capable of synthesizing these proteins with increased resistance against bacteria such as Er- winia amylvora). The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, e. g. in the publications mentioned above. Furthermore, plants are also covered that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the productivity (e. g. bio mass production, grain yield, starch content, oil content or protein content), tolerance to drought, salinity or other growth-limiting environmental factors or tolerance to pests and fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens of those plants.
Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve human or animal nutrition, e. g. oil crops that produce health-promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or unsaturated omega-9 fatty acids (e. g. Nexera® rape, DOW Agro Sciences, Cana- da).
Furthermore, plants are also covered that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve raw material production, e. g. potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e. g. Amflora® potato, BASF SE, Germany).
The term "soil substituent" as used herein refers to a substrate which is able to allow the growth of a plant and does not comprise usual soil ingredients. This substrate is typically an anorganic substrate which may have the function of an inert medium. It may, in certain embodiments, also comprise organic elements or portions. Soil substituents may, for example, be used in hydrocul- ture or hydroponic approaches, i.e. wherein plants are grown in soilless medium and/or aquatic based environments. Examples of suitable soil substituents, which may be used in the context of the present invention, are perlite, gravel, biochar, mineral wool, coconut husk, phyllosilicates, i.e. sheet silicate minerals, typically formed by parallel sheets of silicate tetrahedra with Si205 or a 2:5 ratio, or clay aggregates, in particular expanded clay aggregates with a diameter of about 10 to 40 mm. Particularly preferred is the employment of vermiculite, i.e. a phyllosilicate with 2 tetrahedral sheets for every one octahedral sheet present.
The use of soil substituents may, in specific embodiments, be combined with fertigation or irri- gation as defined herein.
In specific embodiments, the treatment may be carried out during all suitable growth stages of a plant as defined herein. For example, the treatment may be carried out during the BBCH principle growth stages.

The term "at least once" means that the application may be performed one time, or several times, i.e. that a repetition of the treatment with (T) or a nitrification inhibitor and/or a fertilizer may be envisaged. Such a repetition may a 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times, 6 times, 7 times, 8 times, 9 times, 10 times or more frequent repetition of the treatment with a combination as defined herein above, or one of its components, or a corresponding composition or agricultural composition as defined herein above and/or a fertilizer. The repetition of treatment with a combination as defined herein above, or one of its components, or a corresponding composition or agricultural composition as defined herein above and a fertilizer may further be different. For example, while the fertilizer may be applied only once, the a combination as defined herein above, or one of its components, or a corresponding composition or agricultural composition as defined herein above may be applied 2 times, 3 times, 4 times etc. Alternatively, while (T) or the nitrification inhibitor may be applied only once, the fertilizer may be applied 2 times, 3 times, 4 times etc. Further envisaged are all combinations of numerical different numbers of repetitions for the application of a combination as defined herein above, or one of its components, or a cor- responding composition or agricultural composition as defined herein above and opitonally a fertilizer as defined herein above.
Such a repeated treatment may further be combined with a time lag between the treatment of the combination as defined herein above, or one of its components, or a corresponding composition or agricultural composition as defined herein above and optionally a fertilizer as described above.
The time interval between a first application and second or subsequent application of a combination as defined herein above, or one of its components or a corresponding composition or agricultural composition as defined herein above and/or a fertilizer may be any suitable interval. This interval may range from a few seconds up to 3 months, e.g. from a few seconds up to 1 month, or from a few seconds up to 2 weeks. In further embodiments, the time interval may range from a few seconds up to 3 days or from 1 second up to 24 hours.
In further specific embodiments, a method for increasing the health of a plant as described above is carried out by treating a plant growing on soil or soil substituents and/or the locus where the plant is growing or is intended to grow with at least one agricultural mixture as defined herein above.
In another embodiment of the invention, an agrochemical mixture comprising an ammonium or urea-containing fertilizer and (T) or at least one nitrification inhibitor as defined herein above is applied before and at sowing, before emergence, and until shooting/shoot development (GS 00 to GS 33 BBCH) of the plant. In case the agricultural mixture is provided as kit of parts or as non-physical mixture, it may be applied with a time lag between the application of (T) or the nitrification inhibitor and the fertilizer or between the application of (T) or the nitrification inhibitor a secondary or further ingredient, e.g. a pesticidal compound as mentioned herein above.
In a further embodiment plant propagules are preferably treated simultaneously (together or separately) or subsequently. The term "propagules" or "plant propagules" is to be understood to denote any structure with the capacity to give rise to a new plant, e.g. a seed, a spore, or a part of the vegetative body capable of independent growth if detached from the parent. In a preferred embodiment, the term "propagules" or "plant propagules" denotes for seed. For a method as described above, or for a use according to the invention, the application rates of (T) or nitrification inhibitors, i.e. of the compound of formula I are between 0,01 g and 5 kg of active ingredient per hectare, preferably between 1 g and 1 kg of active ingredient per hectare, especially preferred between 50 g and 300 g of active ingredient per hectare depending on different parameters such as the specific active ingredient applied and the plant species treated. In the treatment of seed, amounts of from 0.001 g to 20 g per kg of seed, preferably from 0.01 g to 10 g per kg of seed, more preferably from 0.05 to 2 g per kg of seed of (T) or nitrification inhibitors may be generally required. As a matter of course, if (T) or nitrification inhibitors and fertilizers (or other ingredients), or if mixtures thereof are employed, the compounds may be used in an effective and non-phytotoxic amount. This means that they are used in a quantity which allows to obtain the desired effect but which does not give rise to any phytotoxic symptoms on the treated plant or on the plant raised from the treated propagule or treated soil. For the use according to the invention, the application rates of fertilizers may be between 10 kg and 300 kg per hectare, preferably between 50 kg and 250 kg per hectare.
(T) or the nitrification inhibitor compounds according to the invention, e.g. compound I as defined herein above, or derivative thereof as defined herein above can be present in different structural or chemical modifications whose biological activity may differ. They are likewise subject matter of the present invention.
(T) or the nitrification inhibitor compounds according to the invention, their N-oxides and/or salts etc. may be converted into customary types of compositions, e.g. agrochemical or agricultural compositons such as solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules.
The composition type depends on the particular intended purpose; in each case, it should ensure a fine and uniform distribution of the compound according to the invention. Examples for composition types are suspensions (SC, 00, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsions (EW, EO, ES), microemulsions (M E), pastes, pastilles, wettable powders or dusts (WP, SP, SS, WS, OP, OS) or granules (GR, FG, GG, MG), which can be watersoluble or wettable, as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds (GF). Usually the composition types (e.g. SC, 00, FS, EC, WG, SG, WP, SP, SS, WS, GF) are employed diluted. Composition types such as OP, OS, GR, FG, GG and MG are usually used undiluted.

Methods for applying or treating agrochemical or agricultural compounds or mixtures, or compositions as defined herein, respectively, on to plant propagation material, especially seeds, are known in the art, and include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking and in-furrow application methods of the propagation material. In a preferred embodiment, the compounds or the compositions thereof, respectively, are applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e.g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating and dusting.
In a preferred embodiment, a suspension-type (FS) composition may be used. Typically, a FS composition may comprise 1 -800 g/l of active substance, 1 200 g/l surfactant, o to 200 g/l anti- freezing agent, 0 to 400 g/l of binder, 0 to 200 g/l of a pigment and up to 1 liter of a solvent, preferably water.
The active substances can be used as such or in the form of their compositions, e.g. in the form of directly sprayable solutions, powders, suspensions, dispersions, emulsions, oil dispersions, pastes, dustable products, materials for spreading, or granules, by means of spraying, atomizing, dusting, spreading, brushing, immersing or pouring.
The application forms depend entirely on the intended purposes; it is intended to ensure in each case the finest possible distribution of the active substances according to the invention. Aque- ous application forms can be prepared from emulsion concentrates, pastes or wettable powders (sprayable powders, oil dispersions) by adding water.
To prepare emulsions, pastes or oil dispersions, the substances, as such or dissolved in an oil or solvent, can be homogenized in water by means of a wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifi- er. Alternatively, it is possible to prepare concentrates composed of active substance, wetter, tackifier, dispersant or emulsifier and, if appropriate, solvent or oil, and such concentrates are suitable for dilution with water. The active substance concentrations in the ready-to-use preparations can be varied within relatively wide ranges. In general, they are from 0.0001 to 10%, preferably from 0.001 to 1 % by weight of active substance. The active substances may also be used successfully in the ultra- low-volume process (ULV), it being possible to apply compositions comprising over 95% by weight of active substance, or even to apply the active substance without additives.
Various types of oils, wetters, adjuvants, herbicides, bactericides, and/or pesticides may be added to the active substances or the compositions comprising them, if appropriate not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). These agents can be admixed with the compositions ac- cording to the invention in a weight ratio of 1 : 100 to 100 : 1 , preferably 1 : 10 to 10 : 1.
Adjuvants which can be used are in particular organic modified polysiloxanes such as Break Thru S 240®; alcohol alkoxylates such as Atplus 245®, Atplus MBA 1303®, Plurafac LF 300® and Lutensol ON 30®; EO/PO block polymers, e.g. Pluronic RPE 2035® and Genapol B®; al- cohol ethoxylates such as Lutensol XP 80®; and dioctyl sulfosuccinate sodium such as Leo- phen RA®.
In a further specific embodiment, the present invention relates to a method for treating seed or plant propagation material. The term "seed treatment" as used herein refers to or involves steps towards the control of biotic or abiotic stresses on or in seed and the improvement of shooting and development of plants from seeds. For seed treatment it is evident that a plant suffering from biotic stresses such as insect attacks or which has difficulties obtaining sufficient suitable nitrogen-sources shows reduced germination and emergence leading to poorer plant or crop establishment and vigor, and consequently, to a reduced yield as compared to a plant propagation material which has been subjected to curative or preventive treatment against the relevant pest and which can grow without the damage caused by the biotic stress factor. Abiotic stress includes drought, cold, increased UV, increased heat, or other changes in the environment of the plant, that leads to sub-optimal growth conditions. Methods for treating seed or plant proga- tion material according to the invention thus lead, among other advantages, to an enhanced plant health, a better protection against biotic stresses and an increased plant yield.
Seed treatment methods for applying or treating inventive mixtures and compositions thereof, e.g. compositons or agrochemical composisitions as defined herein above, and in particular combinations of nitirificaiton inhibitors as defined herein above and insecticides and/or nemati- cides to plant propagation material, especially seeds, are known in the art, and include dressing, coating, filmcoating, pelleting and soaking application methods of the propagation material. Such methods are also applicable to the combinations or compositions according to the invention.
In preferred embodiments, the seed treatment may be performed with combinations of (T) or nitrification inhibitors and insecticides and/or nematicides as defined herein above, or with composition comprising said combinations, e.g. the combinations mentioned in Table 2 or Table 3. In specific embodiments these compositions as mentioned in Table 2 or Table 3 may additionally comprise further pesticides, e.g. fungicides and/or biopesticides and/or biostimulants. In a preferred embodiment, the compositon or combination comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention and an insecticide and/or nematicide, e.g. as defined herein above, is applied or treated on to the plant propagation material by a method such that the germination is not negatively impacted. Accordingly, examples of suitable methods for applying (or treating) a plant propagation material, such as a seed, is seed dressing, seed coating or seed pelleting and alike. It is preferred that the plant propagation material is a seed, seed piece (i.e. stalk) or seed bulb. Although it is believed that the present method can be applied to a seed in any physiological state, it is preferred that the seed be in a sufficiently durable state that it incurs no damage during the treatment process. Typically, the seed would be a seed that had been harvested from the field; removed from the plant; and separated from any cob, stalk, outer husk, and surrounding pulp or other non-seed plant material. The seed would preferably also be biologically stable to the extent that the treatment would cause no biological damage to the seed. It is believed that the treatment can be applied to the seed at any time between harvest of the seed and sowing of the seed or during the sowing process (seed directed applications). The seed may also be primed either before or after the treatment. Even distribution of the ingredients in compositions or mixtures as defined herein and adherence thereof to the seeds is desired during propagation material treatment. Treatment could vary from a thin film (dressing) of the formulation containing the combination, for example, a mixture of active ingredient(s), on a plant propagation material, such as a seed, where the original size and/or shape are recognizable to an intermediary state (such as a coating) and then to a thicker film (such as pelleting with many layers of different materials (such as carriers, for example, clays; different formulations, such as of other active ingredients; polymers; and colourants) where the original shape and/or size of the seed is no longer recognizable.
An aspect of the present invention includes application of the composition, e.g. agricultural composition or combination comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention and an insecticides and/or nematicide, e.g. as defined herein above, onto the plant propagation material in a targeted fashion, including positioning the ingredients in the combination onto the entire plant propagation material or on only parts thereof, including on only a single side or a portion of a single side. One of ordinary skill in the art would understand these applica- tion methods from the description provided in EP954213B1 and WO06/1 12700.
The composition, e.g. agricultural composition or combination comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention and an insecticides and/or nematicide, e.g. as defined herein above, can also be used in form of a "pill" or "pellet" or a suitable substrate and placing, or sowing, the treated pill, or substrate, next to a plant propagation material. Such techniques are known in the art, particularly in EP1 124414, WO07/67042, and WO07/67044. Application of the composition, e.g. agricultural composition or combination comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention and an insecticide and/or nematicide, e.g. as defined herein above, onto plant propagation material also includes protecting the plant propa- gation material treated with the combination of the present invention by placing one or more insecticide and/or nematicide- and (T)- or nitrification inhibitor (Nl)-containing particles next to a insecticide and/or nematicide- and Nl-treated seed, wherein the amount of insecticides and/or nematicides is such that the pesticide-treated seed and the pesticide- containing particles to- gether contain an Effective Dose of the insecticides and/or nematicides and the insecticide and/or nematicide dose contained in the insecticids and/or nematicide -treated seed is less than or equal to the Maximal Non-Phytotoxic Dose of the pesticide. Such techniques are known in the art, particularly in WO2005/120226. Application of the combinations onto the seed also includes controlled release coatings on the seeds, wherein the ingredients of the combinations are incorporated into materials that release the ingredients over time. Examples of controlled release seed treatment technologies are generally known in the art and include polymer films, waxes, or other seed coatings, wherein the ingredients may be incorporated into the controlled release material or applied between layers of materials, or both.
Seed can be treated by applying thereto the compound s present in the inventive mixtures in any desired sequence or simultaneously.
The seed treatment occurs to an unsown seed, and the term "unsown seed" is meant to include seed at any period between the harvest of the seed and the sowing of the seed in the ground for the purpose of germination and growth of the plant.
Treatment to an unsown seed is not meant to include those practices in which the active ingredient is applied to the soil or soil substituents but would include any application practice that would target the seed during the planting process.
Preferably, the treatment occurs before sowing of the seed so that the sown seed has been pre- treated with the combination. In particular, seed coating or seed pelleting are preferred in the treatment of the combinations according to the invention. As a result of the treatment, the ingre- dients in each combination are adhered on to the seed and therefore available for pest control. The treated seeds can be stored, handled, sowed and tilled in the same manner as any other active ingredient treated seed.
Solutions for seed treatment (LS), suspoemulsions (SE), flowable concentrates (FS), powders for dry treatment (DS), water-dispersible powders for slurry treatment (WS), water-soluble powders (SS), emulsions (ES), emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and gels (GF) are usually employed for the purposes of treatment of plant propagation materials, particularly seeds. Preferred examples of seed treatment formulation types or soil application for pre-mix compositions are of WS, LS, ES, FS, WG or CS-type.
The compositions in question give, after two-to-tenfold dilution, active components concentrations of from 0.01 to 60% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 40%, in the ready-to-use preparations. Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying or treating compositions or combinations comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention, e.g. as defined herein above on to plant propagation material, especially seeds include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking and in-furrow application methods of the propagation material. Preferably, compositions or combinations comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention, e.g. as defined herein above are applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e. g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating and dusting.
Typically, a pre-mix formulation for seed treatment application comprises 0.5 to 99.9 percent, especially 1 to 95 percent, of the desired ingredients, and 99.5 to 0.1 percent, especially 99 to 5 percent, of a solid or liquid adjuvant (including, for example, a solvent such as water), where the auxiliaries can be a surfactant in an amount of 0 to 50 percent, especially 0.5 to 40 percent, based on the pre-mix formulation. Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates (e.g., pre- mix composition (formulation)), the end user will normally employ dilute formulations (e.g., tank mix composition).
When employed in plant protection, the total amounts of active components applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, from 0.001 to 10 kg per ha, preferably from 0.005 to 2 kg per ha, more preferably from 0.05 to 0.9 kg per ha, in particular from 0.1 to 0.75 kg per ha. The application rates may range from about 1 x 106 to 5 x 1015 (or more) CFU/ha. Preferably, the spore concentration is about 1 x 107 to about 1 x 1011 CFU/ha. In the case of (entomopathogen- ic) nematodes as microbial pesticides (e.g. Steinernema feltiae), the application rates preferably range inform about 1 x 105 to 1 x 1012 (or more), more preferably from 1 x 108 to 1 x 1011, even more preferably from 5 x 108 to 1 x 1010 individuals (e.g. in the form of eggs, juvenile or any other live stages, preferably in an infetive juvenile stage) per ha.
When employed in plant protection by seed treatment, the amount of compositions or combinations comprising (T) or a nitrification inhibitor according to the present invention and an insecticide and/or nematicide, e.g. as defined herein above (based on total weight of active components) is in the range from 0.01 -10 kg, preferably from 0.1-1000 g, more preferably from 1 -100 g per 100 kilogram of plant propagation material (preferably seeds). The application rates with respect to plant propagation material preferably may range from about 1 x 106 to 1 x 1012 (or more) CFU/seed. Preferably, the concentration is about 1 x 10s to about 1 x 1011 CFU/seed. Alternatively, the application rates with respect to plant propagation material may range from about 1 x 107 to 1 x 1014 (or more) CFU per 100 kg of seed, preferably from 1 x 109 to about 1 x 1011 CFU per 100 kg of seed.
The following example is provided for illustrative purposes. It is thus understood that the example is not to be construed as limiting. The skilled person in the art will clearly be able to envisage further modifications of the principles laid out herein.
Example 1 Soil was sampled fresh from a field (e.g. Limburgerhof), dried and sieved through a 500μηι sieve. Approximately 200 mg of soil were placed into each well of a 48 well plate. Compounds, or DMSO alone, were added at a concentration of 10 ppm, dissolved in 1 % DMSO. 6 μιηοΙ ammonium sulfate was added per well as well as 4.8 mg NaCIC>3.
Subsequently, the samples were incubated at room temperature for up to 72 hrs. After the incubation period 64mg KCI were added and mixed. 25 μΙ of the supernatant were placed into a fresh plate and 260μΙ of a color reaction solution (from Merck Nr 1.11799.0100) were added.
Measurements were taken with a Tecan plate Reader at 540nm wavelength.
The results of the measurements (with a dose of 10 ppm) were that all compounds #1 to #215 as shown in Table 1 , supra demonstrated an inhibition of > 10% compared to a control (DMSO only).
Example 2
Synergism can be described as an interaction where the combined effect of two or more compounds is greater than the sum of the individual effects of each of the compounds. The pres- ence of a synergistic effect in terms of percent control, between two mixing partners (X and Y) can be calculated using the Colby equation (Colby, S. R., 1967, Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses in Herbicide Combinations, Weeds, 15, 20-22):
XY
E = X + Y
100
When the observed combined control effect is greater than the expected combined control effect (E), then the combined effect is synergistic.
The following tests demonstrate the control efficacy of compounds, mixtures or compositions of this invention on specific pests. However, the pest control protection afforded by the compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to these species. In certain instances, combinations of a compound of this invention with other invertebrate pest control compounds or agents are found to exhibit synergistic effects against certain important invertebrate pests.
The analysis of synergism or antagonism between the mixtures or compositions was determined using Colby's equation.
Biological Examples of the Invention Test 1 : Rice brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens)
A field trial was conducted to evaluate the control of rice brown plant hopper (Nilaparvata lugens). Each treatment was applied to three 16 m2 plots transplanted with rice seedlings (Oryza sp. Variety Situbagendit. The plots were sprayed 35 days after transplanting (first application), using a knapsack sprayer with a single nozzle and a spray volume of 400l/ha. The active compounds were combined in a tank mix at different concentrations and ratios diluted in water.
Brown Plant hopper Nymphal counts were assessed 7 days after the first application. Percent mortality was calculated for each treatment using the Abbotts calculation. Synergistic effects, according to Colby, were identified.
