Active substance combinations comprising insecticidal and acaricidal properties
The invention relates to novel active compound combinations of certain cyclic ketoenols and certain insecticidally active compounds that together have very good insecticidal and acaricidal properties.
1. A composition comprising a mixture of
(a) a compound of formula (I-b-1)
(b) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of acrinathrin, betacyfluthrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, and lambda-cyhalothrin.
2. A composition according to claim 1 in which the mixing ratio of the compound of formula (I-b-1) to
(i) acrinathrin is from 20:1 to 1:50,
(ii) betacyfluthrin is from 50:1 to 1:5,
(iii) cypermethrin is from 50:1 to 1:5,
(iv) deltamethrin is from 50:1 to 1:5,
(v) lambda-cyhalothrin is from 50:1 to 1:5.
3. A method for controlling arthropod or nematode pests comprising allowing a mixture according to claim 1 to act on an arthropod or nematode pest and/or a habitat of an arthropod or nematode pest.
4. A process for preparing an insecticidal and acaricidal composition comprising mixing a mixture according to claim 1 with one or more extenders and/or surfactants.
