Claims18
A method for controlling and/or treating arthropod pests on a plant, the method comprising:
- applying to the plant or a part thereof, or to soil surrounding the plant, or to a substrate surrounding the plant, or to water surrounding the plant, an effective amount of a cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H) inhibitor compound, stereoisomer thereof, tautomer thereof, hydrate thereof, salt thereof, ester thereof, or solvate thereof, wherein the C4H inhibitor compound is selected from the group consisting of piperonylic acid, 3,4-methylenedioxycinnamic acid, piperic acid, 3,4-(methylenedioxy) phenylacetic acid, 4-iodobenzoic acid, 4-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid, 4-propynyloxybenzoic acid, 4-propynyloxymethylbenzoic acid, 3-propynyloxybenzoic acid, 3-(4-pyridyl) acrylic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthoic acid,
- whereby the C4H inhibitor compound or the stereoisomer, tautomer, hydrate, salt, ester, or solvate thereof inhibits C4H in the plant, thereby inhibiting egg hatching, reproduction, and/or development of the arthropod pests that feed on the plant.
