Use of pesticidal active carboxamide derivative in soil and seed application and treatment methods
The present invention relates to agricultural methods and the use of an insecticidal active carboxamide derivative in seed treatment and soil application methods. The insecticidal carboxamide derivative is highly suitable alone or in combination with other active agricultural ingredients for controlling animal pests such as insects and/or spider mites and/or nematodes by treating the soil/growth substrate by drenching or drip application or dipping or soil injection.
1. A method for controlling or combating animal pests in soil or plant propagation material comprising applying directly or indirectly to the plant or to plant propagation material by drenching the soil, by drip application onto the soil, by soil injection, by dipping or by treatment of seeds, a composition comprising an agriculturally active compound of formula (I):
or a tautomer, an enantiomer, a diastereomer or a salt thereof,
wherein the compound of formula (I) is combined with, or is applied together with, at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) selected from the group consisting of chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole and tetraniliprole;
wherein the compound of formula (I) and the other agriculturally active compound (A) are present in a weight ratio of 4:1 to 1:75 for the compound of formula (I): the other agriculturally active compound (A).
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plant or the plant propagation material to be treated is grown in an artificial growth substrate.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the artificial growth substrate is selected from rock wool, glass wool, quartz sand, gravel, expanded clay and vermiculite.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plant or plant propagation material to be treated is planted or growing in a closed system.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is applied by drip irrigation.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is applied with drip application systems.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (I) is applied by soil injection.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is chlorantraniliprole.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is cyantraniliprole.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is tetraniliprole.
11. A method for protection of plant propagation material comprising contacting the plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective composition comprising an agriculturally active compound of formula (I):
or a tautomer, an enantiomer, a diastereomer or a salt thereof,
wherein the compound of formula (I) is combined with, or is applied together with, at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) selected from the group consisting of chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole and tetraniliprole,
wherein the compound of formula (I) and the other agriculturally active compound (A) are present in a weight ratio of 4:1 to 1:75 for the compound of formula (I): the other agriculturally active compound (A),
wherein the plant propagation material are seeds of transgenic plant.
12. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the compound(s) is applied in an amount of from 0.1 g to 100 kg per 100 kg of plant propagation material.
13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the plant roots and shoots resulting from the treated seeds are protected.
14. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the active compound(s) is/are applied by drenching the soil.
15. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the active compound(s) is/are applied by drip irrigation.
16. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the active compound(s) is/are applied by soil injection.
17. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the active compound(s) is/are applied with drip application systems.
18. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the active compound(s) is/are used in in-furrow applications.
19. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the active compound(s) is/are used in T-Band applications.
20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is chlorantraniliprole.
21. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is cyantraniliprole.
22. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is tetraniliprole.
23. Seed treated with a composition comprising an agriculturally active compound of formula (I):
or a tautomer, an enantiomer, a diastereomer or a salt thereof,
wherein the compound of formula (I) is combined with, or is applied together with, and at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) selected from the group consisting of chlorantraniliprole, cyantraniliprole and tetraniliprole;
wherein the compound of formula (I) and the other agriculturally active compound (A) are present in a weight ratio of 4:1 to 1:75 for the compound of formula (I): the other agriculturally active compound (A);
in an amount of from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seeds.
24. The seed of claim 23 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is chlorantraniliprole.
25. The seed of claim 23 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is cyantraniliprole.
26. The seed of claim 23 , wherein the at least one other agriculturally active compound (A) is tetraniliprole.
