Abstract
The present invention provides a combination comprising an amount of a keto-enol insecticide and an amount of a compound having the formula (I): R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms; m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50.
Claims33
A combination comprising an amount of a keto-enol insecticide and an amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50.
A composition comprising keto-enol insecticide, a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50 and at least one agriculturally acceptable carrier.
A method of treating a plant or a locus against animal pest infestation comprising applying a combination of an amount of keto-enol insecticide and an amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50 to the plant or locus, wherein:
- (i) the method is more effective against animal pest infestation than when the amount of the keto-enol insecticide is applied alone and/or
- (ii) the amount of the compound having the formula (I) improves the insecticidal efficacy of the amount of the keto-enol insecticide compared to when the same amount of the keto-enol insecticide is applied not in combination with the amount of the compound having the formula (I).
A method for controlling animal pest comprising contacting the animal pest or its environment with an amount of keto-enol insecticide and an amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50.
A method for controlling animal pests comprising allowing an amount of keto-enol insecticide and an amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50 to act on pests and/or their habitat.
A method of reducing the amount of time needed to achieve a level of animal pest control from an application of an amount of keto-enol insecticide to a plant or locus comprising applying a combination of an amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50 and an amount of keto-enol insecticide to the plant or locus.
A method for increasing the penetration of spirotetramat to a plant wherein the method comprises applying a combination comprising an amount of spirotetramat and an amount of a compound having the formula (I):
- R1-O—(CmH2mO)x-(CnH2nO)y-H wherein R1 is linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having from 14 to 20 carbon atoms;
- m is an integer equal to 2, n is an integer equal to 3, x is an integer of from 1 to 50 and y is an integer of from 0 to 50 to a plant locus.
