Synergistic pesticidal compositions and methods for delivery of active ingredients

A method of synergistically enhancing the pesticidal activity of at least one pesticidal active ingredient adapted to control at least one target pest organism comprising:

• providing at least one pesticidal active ingredient active for said at least one target pest organism, the pesticidal active ingredient comprising an azole, a pesticidal natural oil or component thereof, fludioxonil, chlorothalonil, cyprodinil, metalaxyl, chlorfenapyr, mancozeb, isopyrazam, oxathiapiprolin, penthiopyrad, chlorantraniliprole, or cyantraniliprole:
• wherein the pesticidal natural oil or component thereof is selected from the group comprising:
• neem oil, karanja oil, geranium oil, garlic oil, thyme oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, oregano oil, azadirachtin, azadiradione, azadirone, nimbin, nimbidin, salannin, deacetylsalannin, salannol, maliantriol, gedunin, karanjin, pongamol, wintergreen oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, tea tree oil, nootkatone (+), lemongrass oil, rosemary oil, rose oil, or a component, derivative and/or extract thereof, or a combination thereof,
• adding a synergistically effective concentration of at least one C6-C10 unsaturated aliphatic acid comprising at least one unsaturated C—C bond, or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof, to said pesticidal active ingredient to provide a synergistic pesticidal composition;
• and
• applying said synergistic pesticidal composition in a pesticidally effective concentration to control said at least one target pest organism.

A pesticidal composition comprising:

• one or more pesticidal agents comprising an azole, a pesticidal natural oil or component thereof, fludioxonil, chlorothalonil, cyprodinil, metalaxyl, chlorfenapyr, mancozeb, isopyrazam, oxathiapiprolin, penthiopyrad, chlorantraniliprole, or cyantraniliprole:
• wherein the pesticidal natural oil or component thereof is selected from the group comprising:
• neem oil, karanja oil, geranium oil, garlic oil, thyme oil, clove oil, cinnamon oil, oregano oil, azadirachtin, azadiradione, azadirone, nimbin, nimbidin, salannin, deacetylzeylanin, salannol, maliantriol, gedunin, karanjin, pongamol, wintergreen oil, peppermint oil, spearmint oil, tea tree oil, nootkatone (+), lemongrass oil, rosemary oil, rose oil, or a component, derivative and/or extract thereof, or a combination thereof;
• and
• one or more unsaturated C6-C10 aliphatic acids or agriculturally compatible salts thereof, having at least one unsaturated C—C bond,
• wherein said one or more unsaturated C6-C10 aliphatic acids produce a synergistic effect on the pesticidal activity of the pesticidal composition in comparison to the pesticidal activity of the pesticidal agent alone and are present in a respective synergistically active weight concentration ratio between about 1:2000 and 2000:1.
