14. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animal pest is Phaedon cochleariae.
15. The method according to claim 13 , wherein the at least one active substance is a neonicotinyl.
16. The method according to claim 14 , wherein the neonicotinyl is imidacloprid.
17. The method according to claim 15 , wherein the weight ratio of Isotianil to the neonicotinyl is between 1:0.001 and 1:1000.
18. A method of protecting a seed or a plant from which the seed grows from damage by animal pests comprising treating an animal pest with a composition consisting of synergistically effective amounts of:
(I) 3,4-dichloro-2′-cyano-1,2-thiazole-5-carboxanilide (isotianil) of formula I:
(II) at least one active substance selected from the group consisting of:
(1) a neonicotinyl selected from the group consisting of
(2) a phenylpyrazole of formula IV:
wherein R 3 is —CF 3 (fipronil) or —C 2 H 5 (ethiprole);
and extenders and/or surface active agents,
wherein the animal pest is from the order of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, or Homoptera.
19. The method according to claim 18 wherein the seed is transgenic seed.
20. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the animal pest is Myzus persicae.
21. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the animal pest is Phaedon cochleariae.
22. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the animal pest is Plutella xylostella.
23. The method according to claim 18 , wherein the animal pest is Spodoptera frugiperda.
24. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animal pest is Plutella xylostella.
25. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the animal pest is Spodoptera frugiperda.
26. A composition comprising an active substance combination consisting of synergistically effective amounts of:
(I) 3,4-dichloro-2′-cyano-1,2-thiazole-5-carboxanilide (isotianil) of formula I:
(II) at least one active substance selected from the group consisting of:
(1) a neonicotinyl selected from the group consisting of
(2) a phenylpyrazole of formula IV:
wherein R 3 is —CF 3 (fipronil) or —C 2 H 5 (ethiprole);
and extenders and/or surface active agents, wherein the active substance combination is applied to an animal pest from the order of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, and Homoptera; and wherein the active combination is synergistically effective in controlling said animal pest once applied thereto.
27. A method of protecting a plant or plant part in need of protection from animal pest damage, said method consisting of contacting an animal pest with a composition comprising synergistically effective amounts of:
(I) 3,4-dichloro-2′-cyano-1,2-thiazole-5-carboxanilide (isotianil) of formula I:
(II) at least one active substance selected from the group consisting of:
(1) a neonicotinyl selected from the group consisting of
(2) a phenylpyrazole of formula IV:
wherein R 3 is —CF 3 (fipronil) or —C 2 H 5 (ethiprole);
and extenders and/or surface active agents,
wherein the animal pest is from the order of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, or Homoptera.
28. The method according to claim 27 wherein the plant part is a seed.
