Active compound combinations
View Patent ↗The invention relates to active compound combinations, in particular a fungicidal and/or insecticidal composition, comprising Isotianil (3,4-dichloro-N-(2-cyanophenyl)-5-isothiazolecarboxamide) and at least one further insecticide of the tetronic acid derivatives group and optionally one further insecticide of the neonicotinoids. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for curatively or preventively controlling the phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or pests of plants or crops, to the use of a combination according to the invention for the treatment of seed, to a method for protecting a seed and not at least to the treated seed.
1. A composition comprising
(A) Isotianil;
(B) a first insecticidal active compound selected from the group consisting of spirotetramat, spirodiclofen and spiromesifen; and
(C) imidacloprid.
2. The composition according to claim 1 wherein the weight ratio between (A) Isotianil and (B) the first insecticidal active compound is 1:125 to 125:1.
3. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio between (A) Isotianil and (B) the first insecticidal active compound is 1:25 to 25:1.
4. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio between (A) Isotianil and (B) the first insecticidal active compound is 1:10 to 10:1.
5. The composition according to claim 1 wherein the weight ratio between any two components (A), (B), or (C), independently of each other, is 1:125 to 125:1.
6. The composition according to claim 1 further comprising adjuvants, solvents, carriers, surfactants or extenders.
7. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or pests of plants or crops comprising applying the composition according to claim 1 to a seed, to plant propagation material, to a plant, to fruit of the plant, to soil in which the plant is growing, or to soil from which the seed, the plant propagation material, or the plant grows.
8. The method according to claim 7 wherein the composition according to claim 1 is applied at a rate of from 0.1 g/ha to 10 kg/ha for foliar treatment; at a rate of from 0.1 g/ha to 10 kg/ha for soil treatment; or at a rate of from 2 to 200 g/100 kg of seed for seed treatment.
9. The method according to claim 7 wherein the composition according to claim 1 is applied to seed.
10. The method according to claim 9 wherein the seed is transgenic seed.
11. A method for protecting a seed and/or shoots and foliage of a plant grown from the seed from damage by a pest or a fungus, comprising treating an unsown seed with the composition according to claim 1 .
12. The composition according to claim 1 further comprising seed.
13. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or microorganisms and/or pests of plants or crops, comprising applying
(A) Isotianil;
(B) a first insecticidal active compound selected from the group consisting of spirotetramat, spirodiclofen and spiromesifen; and
(C) imidacloprid,
to a seed, to plant propagation material, to a plant, to fruit of the plant, or to soil in which the plant is growing, or to soil from which the seed, the plant propagation material, or the plant grows, wherein (A), (B), and (C) are applied simultaneously or sequentially.
14. A method for protecting a seed and/or shoots and foliage of a plant grown from the seed from damage by a pest or a fungus, comprising treating an unsown seed with
(A) Isotianil;
(B) a first insecticidal active compound selected from the group consisting of spirotetramat, spirodiclofen and spiromesifen; and
(C) imidacloprid,
wherein the unsown seed is treated simultaneously with (A), (B), and (C).
15. A method for protecting a seed and/or shoots and foliage of a plant grown from the seed from damage by a pest or a fungus, comprising treating an unsown seed with
(A) Isotianil;
(B) a first insecticidal active compound selected from the group consisting of spirotetramat, spirodiclofen and spiromesifen; and
(C) imidacloprid,
wherein the unsown seed is treated sequentially with (A), (B), and (C).
