## Abstract

The present invention relates to novel active ingredient combinations which consist of fluopyram and other known active ingredients and are very well suited for the control of animal pests, such as insects and/or unwanted acarids and/or nematodes, in foliar and soil application and/or in the treatment of seeds, and are also suitable for increasing yields.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An active ingredient combination comprising
synergistically effective amounts of:
(I-1) N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinyl]ethyl}-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide of formula (I)
(fluopyram)
and/or an N-oxide thereof and
(II) Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251,
wherein the sole active components in the combination are fluopyram and Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method for controlling one of more animal pests, comprising causing an active ingredient combination as defined in claim 1, to act on leaves, flowers, stems and/or seed of a plant to be protected, on an animal pest and/or a habitat thereof, and/or on soil.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A process for preparing a nematicidal composition, comprising mixing an active ingredient combination as defined in claim 1, with at least one extender and/or surfactant.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A composition comprising an active ingredient combination of claim 1, for controlling one or more animal pests.

A seed comprising an active ingredient combination as defined in claim 1.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

A method for treating seed comprising contacting said seed with a combination as claimed in claim 1.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

A method for treating soil and/or an artificial substrate comprising contacting said soil and/or substrate with a combination as claimed in claim 1.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The active ingredient combination as defined in claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of (I-1) to said Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 is 500:1 to 1:500.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The active ingredient combination as defined in claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of (I-1) to said Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 is 125:1 to 1:125.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The active ingredient combination as defined in claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of (I-1) to said Paecilomyces lilacinus strain 251 is 25:1 to 1:25.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)
