Abstract
A method for the control of soil-dwelling pests and/or soil-borne diseases comprising treating a plant propagation material with an effective amount of the pesticidal composition and/or applying an effective amount of a pesticidal composition to a locus where control is desired, provided that the composition comprises, as active ingredient, one or more pesticides (A) having a water solubility of at most 100 μg/liter, at 25° C. at neutral pH, and at least one formulation auxiliary, wherein the size of particles in the composition is in the range 3.60 μm to 0.70 μm at X90. Abamectin has been found to be particularly effective against nematode damage.
Claims15
A method for achieving an improvement in plant growth characteristics, the method comprising:
- treating a plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition comprising abamectin particles and at least one formulation auxiliary, and
- planting or sowing the plant propagation material either after or during the treatment of the pesticidal composition;
- and
- wherein the size of the size of the abamectin particles in the composition is in the range 2.00 μm to 0.80 μm at x90 as defined in ISO 13320-1.
A method of protecting plant propagation material and plant organs that grow at a later point in time, which comprises treating the plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective amount of a pesticidal composition comprising abamectin particles having a water solubility of at most 100 μg/liter at 25° C. at neutral pH, and at least one formulation auxiliary, wherein the size of the abamectin particles in the composition is in the range 2.00 μm to 0.80 μm at x90 as defined in ISO 13320-1.
A method for the control of soil-dwelling pests and/or soil-borne diseases comprising treating a plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective amount of the pesticidal composition and/or applying an effective amount of a pesticidal composition to a locus where control is desired, provided that the composition comprises abamectin particles having a water solubility of at most 100 μg/liter at 25° C. at neutral pH, and at least one formulation auxiliary, wherein the size of the abamectin particles in the composition is in the range 2.00 μm to 0.80 at x90 as defined in ISO 13320-1.
A pesticidal composition comprising, as active ingredient, abamectin particles having a water solubility of at most 100 μg/liter at 25° C. at neutral pH, and at least one formulation auxiliary, wherein the size of the abamectin particles in the composition is in the range 2.00 μm to 0.80 μm at x90 as defined in ISO 13320-1.
A method for achieving an improvement in plant growth characteristics, the method comprising:
- treating a plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition comprising abamectin particles and at least one formulation auxiliary, and
- planting or sowing the plant propagation material either after or during the treatment of the pesticidal composition;
- and
- wherein the abamectin particles have a water solubility of at most 100 μg/liter at 25° C. at neutral pH and the size of the size of the abamectin particles in the composition is in the range 2.00 μm to 0.80 μm at x90 as defined in ISO 13320-1.
A method for controlling soil dwelling pests and/or soil borne diseases, the method comprising:
- treating a plant propagation material with a pesticidally effective amount of a composition comprising abamectin particles and at least one formulation auxiliary, and
- planting or sowing the plant propagation material either after or during the treatment of the pesticidal composition;
- and
- wherein the size of the size of the abamectin particles in the composition is in the range 2.00 μm to 0.80 μm at x90 as defined in ISO 13320-1.
