Pesticidal mixtures
The present invention relates to pesticidal mixtures comprising one biological compound selected from the group consisting of Beauveria bassiana PPRI 5339, Metarhizium anisopliae FI-1045, Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum FI-985 and Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum IMI 330189 and one fungicidal or insecticidal or plant growth regulating compound and respective agricultural uses thereof.
1. Synergistic mixtures comprising, as active components,
1) one insecticidal compound IB selected from the group consisting of:
M-3 sodium channel modulators from the class of pyrethroids: cyfluthrin, and beta-cyfluthrin;
M-23 Mitochondrial complex II electron transport inhibitors: cyflumetofen;
M-24 Ryanodine receptor-modulators from the class of diamides: cyantraniliprole (cyazypyr);
M-25 Others: afidopyropen;
and
2) one compound II, wherein compound II is Beauveria bassiana PPRI 5339 and
wherein the ratio by weight of compound IB to compound II is from 1:1 to 1:1000 and compound II is prepared with at least 10 6 CFU/g.
2. The mixture according to claim 1 comprising as compound IB one insecticidal compound, wherein the compound is cyantraniliprole (cyazypyr).
3. A pesticidal composition, comprising a liquid or solid carrier and a mixture as defined in claim 1 .
4. A method for controlling pests and/or improving the health of plants, wherein the pest, their habitat, breeding grounds, their locus or the plants to be protected against pest attack are treated with an effective amount of a mixture as defined in claim 1 .
5. A method for protection of plant propagation material from pests and/or improving the health of plants grown from said plant propagation material, wherein the plant propagation material are treated with an effective amount of a mixture as defined in claim 1 .
6. A method for protection of plant propagation material from pests and/or improving the health of plants grown from said plant propagation material, wherein the soil, wherein seeds are sown, is treated with an effective amount of a mixture as defined in claim 1 .
7. Plant propagation material, comprising the mixture as defined in claim 1 in an amount of from 0.01 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of plant propagation material.
