Active compound combinations
View Patent ↗Active compound combinations are disclosed which comprise (A) a dithiino-tetracarboximide of formula (I) and a further insecticidally active compound (B). Methods for controlling animal pests such as insects and/or unwanted acarids and for curatively or preventively controlling the phytopathogenic fungi of plants or crops are also disclosed as well as the use of a composition according to the invention for the treatment of seed, to a method for protecting a seed and to the treated seed.
1. A composition comprising
(A) at least one dithiino-tetracarboximide of formula (I)
in which R 1 and R 2 are identical and represent methyl, ethyl, n-propyl or isopropyl, and n represents 0 or 1, or an agrochemically acceptable salt thereof,
and
(B) at least one further active compound selected from the group consisting of methiocarb and thiodicarb.
2. The composition according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of the formula (I) is (I-1) 2,6-dimethyl-1H,5H-[1,4]dithiino[2,3-c:5,6-c′]dipyrrole-1,3,5,7(2H,6H)-tetrone.
3. The composition according to claim 1 further comprising auxiliaries, solvents, carriers, surfactants or extenders.
4. The composition according to claim 1 wherein the at least one dithiino-tetracarboximide and the least one further active compound are present in a synergistically effective weight ratio.
5. The composition according to claim 4 wherein the at least one dithiino-tetracarboximide and the least one further active compound are present in a weight ratio of 250:1 to 1:250.
6. The composition according to claim 4 wherein the at least one dithiino-tetracarboximide and the at least one further active compound are present in a weight ratio of 125:1 to 1:125.
7. The composition according to claim 4 wherein the at least one dithiino-tetracarboximide and the at least one further active compound are present in a weight ratio of 50:1 to 1:50.
8. The composition according to claim 4 wherein the at least one dithiino-tetracarboximide and the at least one further active compound are present in a weight ratio of 20:1 to 120.
9. The composition according to claim 1 further comprising seed.
10. A method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or animal pests in crop protection, comprising applying the composition according to claim 1 to seed, to a plant, to a fruit of the plant, or to soil on which the plant grows or soil from which the seed, the plant, or the fruit of the plant grows.
11. The method according to claim 10 wherein the composition is applied to the soil on which the seed, the plant, or the fruit of the plant grows or from which the seed, the plant, or the fruit of the plant grows.
12. The method according to claim 10 , wherein the composition is applied as a foliar treatment.
13. The method according to claim 12 wherein the composition is applied at a rate from 0.1 to 10 000 g/ha.
14. The method according to claim 10 wherein the composition is applied to the seed.
15. The method according to claim 14 wherein the composition is applied at rate of from 2 g to 200 g per 100 kg of seed.
16. The method according to claim 10 wherein the plant is a transgenic plant.
17. The method according to claim 10 wherein the seed is seed of a transgenic plant.
