View Patent ↗This invention provides a composition comprising a first compound selected from Formula 1, an N-oxide or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof; and a second compound selected from insecticidal macrocyclic lactones, wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4a , R 4b and R 5 are as defined in the disclosure.
1. A composition, comprising: a first compound selected from Formula 1, an N-oxide thereof, and an agriculturally suitable salt thereof; and a second compound selected from insecticidal macrocyclic lactones,
wherein Formula 1 is
R 1 is CH 3 , F, Cl or Br;
R 2 is F, Cl, Br, I or CF 3 ;
R 3 is CF 3 , Cl, Br or OCH 2 CF 3 ;
R 4a is C 1 -C 4 alkyl;
R 4b is H or CH 3 ; and
R 5 is Cl or Br; and
wherein the composition contains 5 to 90 wt percent of the first and second compounds.
2. The composition of claim 1 further comprising at least one of a surfactant, a solid diluent or a liquid diluent.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the first compound is
4. The composition of claim 1 wherein the second compound is selected from the group consisting of abamectin, avermectin, emamectin, and spinosad.
5. The composition of claim 3 wherein the second compound is abamectin.
6. The composition of claim 3 wherein the second compound is emamectin.
7. The composition of claim 3 wherein the second compound is spinosad.
8. A method for controlling an invertebrate pest, comprising: contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with the composition of claim 1 .
9. The method of claim 8 wherein the invertebrate pest is an arthropod selected from the group consisting of insects, mites, spiders, scorpions, centipedes, millipedes, pill bugs and symphylans.
10. The method of claim 8 wherein the application rate for the first compound in an agronomic ecosystem ranges from about 0.0001 to 8 kg/ha and in a nonagronomic application ranges from about 0.1 to 150 mg/square meter.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein the application rate for the first compound in an agronomic ecosystem ranges from about 0.01 to 2 kg/ha.
12. The method of claim 10 wherein the application rate for the first compound in a nonagronomic application ranges from about 1.0 to 50 mg/square meter.
13. A process for preparing pesticides, comprising: mixing a first compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide thereof, or an agriculturally suitable salt thereof, as set forth in claim 1 , and a second compound selected from insecticidal macrocylic lactones with diluents, surfactants, or combinations thereof.
14. The composition of claim 3 wherein the second compound is avermectin.
