SYNERGISTIC MIXTURES OF ANTHRANILIAMIDE INVERTEBRATE PEST

CONTROL AGENTS

This application is a divisional application from IL 179847.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to invertebrate pest control mixtures comprising a biologically effective amount of an anthranilamide, an N-oxide or a salt thereof and at least one other invertebrate pest control agent, and methods of their use for control of invertebrate pests such as arthropods in both agronomic and non-agronomic environments.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The control of invertebrate pests is extremely important in achieving high crop efficiency. Damage by invertebrate pests to growing and stored agronomic crops can cause significant reduction in productivity and thereby result in increased costs to the consumer. The control of invertebrate pests in forestry, greenhouse crops, ornamentals, nursery crops, stored food and fiber products, livestock, household, turf, wood products, and public and animal health is also important. Many products are commercially available for these purposes and in practice have been used as a single or a mixed agent. However, more economically efficient and ecologically safe pest control compositions and methods are still being sought.

Being able to reduce the quantity of chemical agents released in the environment while ensuring effective pest control is always desirable. Although combinations of pest control agents have been studied, a high synergistic action is generally not found. Synergism has been described as “the cooperative action of two components of a mixture, such that the total effect is greater or more prolonged than the sum of the effects of the two (or more) taken independently” (see P. M. L. Yames, Neth. J. Plant Pathology 1964, 70, 73-80). Therefore, obtaining an arthropodicidal composition that demonstrates a high controlling effect with concomitant reduced crop production cost and reduced environmental load is highly desirable. WO 03/015519 discloses N-acyl anthranilic acid derivatives of Formula i as arthropodicides R3 R5 R2 R4a R4 4b i 216196/4 2 wherein, inter alia, R1 is CH3, F, Cl or Br; R2 is F, Cl, Br, I or CF3; R3 is CF3, Cl, Br or OCH2CF3; R4a is C1-C4 alkyl; R4b is H or CH3; and R5 is Cl or Br.

The invertebrate pest control agent of groups (b1), (b2), (b3), (b4), (b5), (b6), (b7), (b8), (b9), (b10), (b11), (b12), (b13), (b14), (b15), (b16), (b17) and (b18) have been described in published patents and scientific journal papers. Most of the compounds of groups (b1) through (b18) and the biological agents of group (b19) are commercially available as active ingredients in invertebrate pest control products. These compounds and biological agents are described in compendia such as The Pesticide Manual, 13th edition., C. D. S. Thomlin (Ed.), British Crop Protection Council, Surrey, UK, 2003. Certain of these groups are further described below.

Neonicotinoids (group (b1))

All neonicotinoids act as agonists at the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the central nervous system of insects. This causes excitation of the nerves and eventual paralysis, which leads to death. Due to the mode of action of neonicotinoids, there is no cross-resistance to conventional insecticide classes such as carbamates, organophosphates, and pyrethroids. A review of the neonicotinoids is described in Pestology 2003, 27, pp 60-63; Annual Review of Entomology 2003, 48, pp 339-364; and references cited therein. 216196/4 11

Neonicotinoids act as acute contact and stomach poisons, combine systemic properties with relatively low application rates, and are relatively nontoxic to vertebrates. There are many compounds in this group including the pyridylmethylamines such as acetamiprid and thiacloprid; nitromethylenes such as nitenpyram and nithiazine; nitroguanidines such as clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid and thiamethoxam.

Cholinesterase Inhibitors (group (b2))

Two chemical classes of compounds are known to inhibit the cholinesterase; one is the organophosphates and the other is the carbamates. Organophosphates involve phosphorylation of the enzyme, while carbamates involve a reversible carbamylation of the enzyme. The organophosphates include acephate, azinphos-methyl, chlorethoxyfos, chlorprazophos, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos-methyl, coumaphos, cyanofenphos, demeton-S-methyl, diazinon, dichlorvos, dimethoate, dioxabenzofos, disulfoton, dithicrofos, fenamiphos, fenitrothion, fonofos, isofenphos, isoxathion, malathion, methamidophos, methidathion, mipafox, monocrotophos, oxydemeton-methyl, parathion, parathion-methyl, phorate, phosalone, phosmet, phosphamidon, phoxim, pirimiphos-methyl, profenofos, pyraclofos, quinalphos-methyl, sulprofos, temephos, terbufos, tetrachlorvinphos, thicrofos, triazophos, and trichlofon. The carbamates include aldicarb, aldoxycarb, bendiocarb, benfuracarb, butocarboxim, carbaryl, carbofuran, carbosulfan, ethiofencarb, furathiocarb, methiocarb, methomyl (Lannate®), oxamyl (Vydate®), pirimicarb, propoxur, thiodicarb, triazamate and xylylcarb. A general review of the mode of action of insecticides is presented in Insecticides with Novel Modes of Action: Mechanism and Application, I. Ishaaya, et al (Ed.), Springer:Berlin, 1998.

Sodium Channel Modulators (group (b3))

Insecticidal compounds acting as sodium channel modulators disrupt the normal functioning of voltage-dependent sodium channels in insects, which causes rapid paralysis or knock-down following application of these insecticides. Reviews of insecticides targeting nerve membrane sodium channels are presented in, for example, Toxicology 2002, 171, pp 359; Pest Management Sci. 2001, 57, pp 153-164; and references cited therein. The sodium channel modulators have been grouped together based on their chemical structural similarity into four classes, including pyrethroids, non-ester pyrethroids, oxidiazines and natural pyrethrins. The pyrethroids include allethrin, alpha-cypermethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, beta-cypermethrin, bifenthrin, cyfluthrin, cyhalothrin, cypermethrin, deltamethrin, esfenvalerate, fenfluthrin, fenpropathrin, fenvalerate, flucythrinate, gamma-cyhalothrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, metofluthrin, permethrin, profluthrin, resmethrin, tau-fluvalinate, tefluthrin, tetramethrin, tralomethrin, transfluthrin and zeta-cypermethrin. The non-ester pyrethroids include etofenprox, flufenprox, halfenprox, protrifenbute and silafluofen. The oxadiazines include indoxacarb. The natural pyrethrins include cinerin-I, cinerin-II, jasmolin-I, jasmolin-II, pyrethrin-I and pyrethrin-II. 216196/4 12

Formulation/Utility

Mixtures of this invention can generally be used as a formulation or composition with a carrier suitable for agronomic and nonagronomic uses comprising at least one of a liquid diluent, a solid diluent or a surfactant. The formulation, mixture or composition ingredients can be selected to be consistent with the physical properties of the active ingredients, mode of application and environmental factors such as soil type, moisture and temperature. Useful formulations include liquids such as solutions (including emulsifiable concentrates), suspensions, emulsions (including microemulsions and/or suspoemulsions) and the like which optionally can be thickened into gels. Useful formulations further include solids such as dusts, powders, granules, pellets, tablets, films (including seed treatment), and the like which can be water-dispersible (“wettable”) or water-soluble. Active ingredient can be (micro)encapsulated and further formed into a suspension or solid formulation; alternatively the entire formulation of active ingredient can be encapsulated (or “overcoated”).

Encapsulation can control or delay release of the active ingredient. Compositions of the invention can also optionally comprise plant nutrients, e.g. a fertilizer composition comprising at least one plant nutrient selected from nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, boron, manganese, zinc, and molybdenum. Of note are compositions comprising at least one fertilizer composition comprising at least one plant nutrient selected from nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, calcium and magnesium. Compositions of the present invention which further comprise at least one plant nutrient can be in the form of liquids or solids. Of note are solid formulations in the form of granules, small sticks or tablets. Solid formulations comprising a fertilizer composition can be prepared by mixing the mixture or composition of the present invention with the fertilizer composition together with formulating ingredients and then preparing the formulation by methods such as granulation or extrusion. Alternatively solid formulations can be prepared by spraying a solution or suspension of a mixture or composition of the present invention in a volatile solvent onto a previous prepared fertilizer composition in the form of dimensionally stable mixtures, e.g., granules, small sticks or tablets, and then evaporating the solvent. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High-strength compositions can be primarily used as intermediates for further formulation.

The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up to 100 percent by weight. 216196/4 18

Invertebrate pests are controlled in agronomic and nonagronomic applications by applying a composition or mixture of this invention, in an effective amount, to the environment of the pests, including the agronomic and/or nonagronomic locus of infestation, to the area to be protected, or directly on the pests to be controlled. Agronomic applications include protecting a field crop from invertebrate pests typically by applying a composition or a mixture of the invention to the seed of the crop before the planting, to the foliage, stems, 216196/4 28 flowers and/or fruit of crop plants, or to the soil or other growth medium before or after the crop is planted. Nonagronomic applications refer to invertebrate pest control in the areas other than fields of crop plants. Nonagronomic applications include control of invertebrate pests in stored grains, beans and other foodstuffs, and in textiles such as clothing and carpets. Nonagronomic applications also include invertebrate pest control in ornamental plants, forests, in yards, along road sides and railroad rights of way, and on turf such as lawns, golf courses and pastures. Nonagronomic applications also include invertebrate pest control in houses and other buildings which may be occupied by humans and/or companion, farm, ranch, zoo or other animals. Nonagronomic applications also include the control of pests such as termites that can damage wood or other structural materials used in buildings. Nonagronomic applications also include protecting human and animal health by controlling invertebrate pests that are parasitic or transmit infectious diseases. Such pests include, for example, chiggers, ticks, lice, mosquitoes, flies and fleas.

Therefore, the present invention further comprises a method for controlling an invertebrate pest in agronomic and/or nonagronomic applications, comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a mixture comprising the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide or salt thereof, and at least one invertebrate pest control agent (or salt thereof) selected from the group consisting of (b1), (b2), (b3), (b4), (b5), (b6), (b7), (b8), (b9), (b10), (b11), (b12), (b13), (b14), (b15), (b16), (b17), (b18) and (b19). Examples of suitable compositions comprising an effective amount of the compound of Formula 1 and an effective amount of a component (b) include granular compositions wherein the component (b) is present on the same granule as the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide or a salt thereof or on granules separate from those of the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide or a salt thereof. Of note is an embodiment wherein component (b) is a (b1) compound, e.g. imidacloprid, a (b2) compound, e.g., methomyl or oxamyl, or a (b3) compound, e.g., indoxacarb or component (b) comprises at least one invertebrate pest control agent (or salt thereof) from each of two different groups selected from (b1), (b2), (b3), (b4), (b5), (b6), (b7), (b8), (b9), (b10), (b11), (b12), (b13), (b14), (b15), (b16), (b17), (b18) and (b19).

One embodiment of a method of contact is by spraying. Alternatively, a granular composition comprising a mixture or composition of the invention can be applied to the plant foliage or the soil. Mixtures and compositions of this invention are also effectively delivered through plant uptake by contacting the plant with a mixture or composition of this invention comprising the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide or a salt thereof and an invertebrate pest control agent of component (b) applied as a soil drench of a liquid formulation, a granular formulation to the soil, a nursery box treatment or a dip of transplants. Of note is a composition of the present invention in the form of a soil drench liquid formulation. Also of note is a method for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising 216196/4 29 contacting the soil environment of the invertebrate pest with a biologically effective amount of the mixture of the present invention. Of further note are such methods wherein the mixture is of Embodiment 1-4, 6, 7, 9, 10, 15-20, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28-33, 35, 36, 38-45 or 46.

Mixtures and compositions of this invention are also effective by topical application to the locus of infestation. Other methods of contact include application of a mixture or composition of the invention by direct and residual sprays, aerial sprays, gels, seed coatings, microencapsulations, systemic uptake, baits, eartags, boluses, foggers, fumigants, aerosols, dusts and many others. One embodiment of a method of contact is a dimensionally stable fertilizer granule, stick or tablet comprising a mixture or composition of the invention. The compositions and mixtures of this invention can also be impregnated into materials for fabricating invertebrate control devices (e.g., insect netting). Seed coatings can be applied to all types of seeds, including those from which plants genetically transformed to express specialized traits will germinate. Representative examples include those expressing proteins toxic to invertebrate pests, such as Bacillus thuringiensis toxin or those expressing herbicide resistance, such as “Roundup Ready” seed. A mixture or composition of this invention can be incorporated into a bait composition that is consumed by an invertebrate pest or used within a device such as a trap, bait station, and the like. Such a bait composition can be in the form of granules which comprise (a) active ingredients, namely the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide, or salt thereof; (b) an invertebrate pest control agent or salt thereof selected from the group consisting of (b1), (b2), (b3), (b4), (b5), (b6), (b7), (b8), (b9), (b10), (b11), (b12), (b13), (b14), (b15), (b16), (b17), (b18) and (b19); (c) one or more food materials; optionally (d) an attractant, and optionally (e) one or more humectants. Of note are granules or bait compositions which comprise between about 0.001-5% active ingredients, about 40-99% food material and/or attractant; and optionally about 0.05-10% humectants, which are effective in controlling soil invertebrate pests at very low application rates, particularly at doses of active ingredient that are lethal by ingestion rather than by direct contact. Some food materials can function both as a food source and an attractant. Food materials include carbohydrates, proteins and lipids. Examples of food materials are vegetable flour, sugar, starches, animal fat, vegetable oil, yeast extracts and milk solids. Examples of attractants are odorants and flavorants, such as fruit or plant extracts, perfume, or other animal or plant component, pheromones or other agents known to attract a target invertebrate pest. Examples of humectants, i.e. moisture retaining agents, are glycols and other polyols, glycerine and sorbitol. Of note is a bait composition (and a method utilizing such a bait composition) used to control at least one invertebrate pest selected from the group consisting of ants, termites and cockroaches, including individually or in combinations. A device for controlling an invertebrate pest can comprise the present bait composition and a housing adapted to receive the bait composition, wherein the housing has at least one opening sized to permit the invertebrate pest to pass through the opening so the 216196/4 30 invertebrate pest can gain access to the bait composition from a location outside the housing, and wherein the housing is further adapted to be placed in or near a locus of potential or known activity for the invertebrate pest.

The mixtures and compositions of this invention can be applied without other adjuvants, but most often application will be of a formulation comprising one or more active ingredients with suitable carriers, diluents, and surfactants and possibly in combination with a food depending on the contemplated end use. One method of application involves spraying a water dispersion or refined oil solution of the mixture or composition of the present invention. Combinations with spray oils, spray oil concentrations, spreader stickers, adjuvants, other solvents, and synergists such as piperonyl butoxide often enhance compound efficacy. For nonagronomic uses such sprays can be applied from spray containers such as a can, a bottle or other container, either by means of a pump or by releasing it from a pressurized container, e.g., a pressurized aerosol spray can. Such spray compositions can take various forms, for example, sprays, mists, foams, fumes or fog. Such spray compositions thus can further comprise propellants, foaming agents, etc. as the case may be. Of note is a spray composition comprising a mixture or composition of the present invention and a propellant. Representative propellants include, but are not limited to, methane, ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, butene, pentane, isopentane, neopentane, pentene, hydrofluorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, dimethyl ether, and mixtures of the foregoing. Of note is a spray composition (and a method utilizing such a spray composition dispensed from a spray container) used to control at least one invertebrate pest selected from the group consisting of mosquitoes, black flies, stable flies, deer flies, horse flies, wasps, yellow jackets, hornets, ticks, spiders, ants, gnats, and the like, including individually or in combinations.

The rate of application required for effective control (i.e. “biologically effective amount”) will depend on such factors as the species of invertebrate to be controlled, the pest's life cycle, life stage, its size, location, time of year, host crop or animal, feeding behavior, mating behavior, ambient moisture, temperature, and the like. Under normal circumstances, application rates of about 0.01 to 2 kg of active ingredients per hectare are sufficient to control pests in agronomic ecosystems, but as little as 0.0001 kg/hectare may be sufficient or as much as 8 kg/hectare may be required. For nonagronomic applications, effective use rates will range from about 1.0 to 50 mg/square meter but as little as 0.1 mg/square meter may be sufficient or as much as 150 mg/square meter may be required. One skilled in the art can easily determine the biologically effective amount necessary for the desired level of invertebrate pest control.

Synergism has been described as “the cooperative action of two components (e.g., component (a) and component (b)) in a mixture, such that the total effect is greater or more prolonged than the sum of the effects of the two (or more) taken independently” (see 216196/4 31 P. M. L. Tames, Neth. J. Plant Pathology 1964, 70, 73-80). Mixtures containing the compound of Formula 1 together with other invertebrate pest control agents are found to exhibit synergistic effects against certain important invertebrate pests.

The presence of a synergistic effect between two active ingredients is established with the aid of the Colby equation (see S. R. Colby, “Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses of Herbicide Combinations”, Weeds, 1967, 15, 20-22): p = A+ B -

A x B 100

Using the method of Colby, the presence of a synergistic interaction between two active ingredients is established by first calculating the predicted activity, p, of the mixture based on activities of the two components applied alone. If p is lower than the experimentally established effect, synergism has occurred. If p is equal or higher than the experimentally established effect, the interaction between the two components is characterized to be only additive or antagonism. In the equation above, A is the observed result of one component applied alone at rate x. The B term is the observed result of the second component applied at rate y. The equation estimates p, the observed result of the mixture of A at rate x with B at rate y if their effects are strictly additive and no interaction has occurred. To use the Colby equation the active ingredients of the mixture are applied in the test separately as well as in combination.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES OF THE INVENTION

The following tests demonstrate the control efficacy of mixtures or compositions of this invention on specific pests. The pest control protection afforded by the mixtures or compositions is not limited, however, to these species. The analysis of synergism or antagonism between the mixtures or compositions was determined using Colby's equation. The average % mortality data for the test compounds alone were inserted into the Colby's equation. If the observed (obs) average % mortality was higher than “p”, the expected % mortality, the mixture or composition had synergistic effects. If the observed average % mortality was equal to or lower than the expected mortality, the mixture or composition either had no synergistic effect or an antagonistic effect. In these tests, Compound 1 (Cpd 1) is the compound of Formula 1.

TEST A

For evaluating control of silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia argentifolii Bellows and Perring) through contact and/or systemic means, each test unit consisted of a small open container with a 12- to 14-day-old cotton plant inside. This was pre-infested by placing test units into cages infested with adult whiteflies so that oviposition on the cotton leaves could occur. The adults were removed from the plants with an air-blast nozzle, and the test units were capped. The test units were then stored 2 to 3 days before spraying. 216196/4 32

Test compounds were formulated using a solution containing 10% acetone, 90% water and 300 ppm X-77® Spreader Lo-Foam Formula non-ionic surfactant containing alkylarylpolyoxyethylene, free fatty acids, glycols and 2-propanol (Loveland Industries, Inc.) to provide the desired concentration in ppm. Formulated test solutions were then applied in 5 1 mL volumes through a SUJ2 atomizer nozzle with 1/8 JJ custom body (Spraying Systems

Co.) positioned 1.27 cm (0.5 inches) above the top of each test unit.

The results for all experimental compositions in this test were replicated three times. After spraying of the formulated test composition, each test unit was allowed to dry for 1 hour and the cap removed. The test units were held for 13 days in a growth chamber at 10 28 °C and 50-70% relative humidity. Each test unit was then assessed for insect mortality using a binocular microscope; the results are listed in Tables 2A and 2B.

TEST B

For evaluating control of the western flower thrip (Frankliniella occidentalis

Pergande) through contact and/or systemic means, each test unit consisted of a small open container with a 5- to 7-day-old bean (var. Soleil) plant inside. 5 Test solutions were formulated and sprayed with 3 replications as described for Test A. After spraying, the test units were allowed to dry for 1 hour, 22 to 27 adult thrips were 216196/4 37 added to each unit and then a black, screened cap was placed on top. The test units were held for 7 days at 25 °C and 45-55% relative humidity. Each test unit was then visually assessed for insect mortality; the results are listed in Tables 3A and 3B.

TEST C

For evaluating control of potato leafhopper (Empoasca fabae Harris) through contact and/or systemic means, each test unit consisted of a small open container with a 5- to 6-day-old Longio bean plant (primary leaves emerged) inside. White sand was added to the top of 5 the soil, and one of the primary leaves was excised prior to application. Test compounds were formulated and sprayed with 3 replications as described for Test A. After spraying, the test units were allowed to dry for 1 hour before they were infested with 5 potato leafhoppers (18- to 21-day-old adults). A black, screened cap was placed on the top of each container. The test units were held for 6 days in a growth chamber at 19-21 °C and 50-70% relative 10 humidity. Each test unit was then visually assessed for insect mortality; the results are listed in Tables 4A and 4B.

TEST D

For evaluating control of corn planthopper (Peregrinus maidis) through contact and/or systemic means, each test unit consisted of a small open cylindrical container with a 3- to 45 day-old corn (maize) plant (spike) inside. White sand was added to the top of the soil prior to application. Test compounds were formulated and sprayed with 3 replications as described for Test A. After spraying, the test units were allowed to dry for 1 hour before they were post-infested with 10 to 20 corn planthoppers (18- to 20-day-old nymphs) by sprinkling them onto the sand with a salt shaker. A black, screened cap was placed on the 10 top of each container. The test units were held for 6 days in a growth chamber at 19-21 °C and 50-70% relative humidity. Each test unit was then visually assessed for insect mortality; the results are listed in Tables 5A and 5B.

TEST E

For evaluating control of cotton melon aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover) through contact and/or systemic means, each test unit consisted of a small open container with a 6- to 7-day-old cotton plant inside. This was pre-infested by placing on a leaf of the test plant 30 to 40 5 aphids on a piece of leaf excised from a culture plant (cut-leaf method). The larvae moved onto the test plant as the leaf piece desiccated. After pre-infestation, the soil of the test unit was covered with a layer of sand.

Test compounds were formulated and sprayed as described for Test A. The applications were replicated three times. After spraying of the formulated test compounds, 10 each test unit was allowed to dry for 1 hour and then a black, screened cap was placed on 216196/4 53 top. The test units were held for 6 days in a growth chamber at 19-21 °C and 50-70% relative humidity. Each test unit was then visually assessed for insect mortality; the results are listed in Tables 6A and 6B.

TEST F

For evaluating control of green peach aphid (Myzus persicae Sulzer) through contact and/or systemic means, each test unit consisted of a small open container with a 12- to 15 5 day-old radish plant inside. This was pre-infested by placing on a leaf of the test plant 30 to 40 aphids on a piece of leaf excised from a culture plant (cut-leaf method). The larvae moved onto the test plant as the leaf piece desiccated. After pre-infestation, the soil of the test unit was covered with a layer of sand.

Test compounds were formulated and sprayed as described in Test A, replicated three 10 times. After spraying of the formulated test compound, each test unit was allowed to dry for 1 hour and then a black, screened cap was placed on top. The test units were held for 6 days in a growth chamber at 19-21 °C and 50-70% relative humidity. Each test unit was then visually assessed for insect mortality; the results are listed in Tables 7A and 7B.

TEST G

For evaluating systemic control of silverleaf whitefly (Bemisia argentifolii), each test unit consisted of a 10-inch (25.4 cm) pot with sand, and a tomato plant (var. Tiny Tim) at the 5 to 10 true leaf stage. Oxamyl was in the liquid formulation as Vydate® L and compound 1 5 was in a wettable powder formulation with 50% active ingredient. Test compounds in approximately 200 mL of water per pot were applied by drip irrigation in the greenhouse. Whitefly activity was evaluated on a naturally occurring population by removing 5 old leaves with clearly visible nymphs. When there were no leaves with clearly visible nymphs, 5 old leaves were removed at random. Leaves were evaluated for dead and live nymphs. 10 For all tests, analysis was conducted by using Fisher's LSD test for means separation, at p=0.05 (see K.A. Gomez and A.A. Gomez, “Statistical Procedures for Agricultural Research”, 2nd edition, John Wiley &amp;amp; Sons, New York, 680pp). Mean comparisons were made within each evaluation date only. The results are listed in Table 8. 216196/4 64

TEST H

For evaluating systemic control of beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua), each test unit consisted of a 10-inch (25.4 cm) pot filled with sand and containing a tomato plant (var. Tiny 5 Tim) at the 5 to 10 true leaf stage. Oxamyl was in the liquid formulation as Vydate® L and compound 1 was in a wettable powder formulation with 50% active ingredient. Test compounds in approximately 200 mL of water per pot were applied by drip irrigation in the greenhouse. The plants were sampled at indicated date by cutting discs of the leaf material and placing each disc on a layer of agar gel in a 16-well, 1.5 oz. cup tray (B-150-S .028 10 Natural, Clear Pack Co., Franklin Park, IL 60131). One beet armyworm larva was added to each cell and the cells were covered. Trays were held in the growth chamber at 25oC, 16-hour light:8-hour dark, 60% relative humidity for 4 days. The percentage of mortality (abbreviated as % Morta.) and percentage of feeding (abbreviated as % feed), were visually assessed; the results are listed in Table 9. For all tests, analysis was conducted by using the 15 LSD test. Mean comparisons were made within each evaluation date only.

TEST I

For evaluating control of beet armyworm (Spodoptera exigua), methomyl was in the liquid formulation as Lannate® LV (29% of active ingredient). Compound 1 was in a water dispersible granules (WDG) formulation with 35% active ingredient. The test compounds were dissolved in water. Enough water was added to make 100 ppm of active ingredient for each compound. Serial dilutions were made to obtain the appropriate concentrations. To obtain the desired mixture concentrations of each compound, twice the desired concentration of each of the two mixture partner compounds were mixed together in equal volumes.

The diluted solutions of the test compounds were sprayed to run-off on three-week-old tomato plants. The plants were placed on a rotating turntable sprayer (10 rpm). Test solutions were applied using a flat fan air-assisted nozzle (Spraying Systems 122440) at 10 psi (69 kPa). After each treated plant had dried, leaves were excised from the treated plant. The leaves were cut into pieces, which were placed singly into 5.5 cm-by-3.5 cm cells of a sixteen-cell plastic tray. Each cell contained a 2.5-cm square of moistened chromatography paper to prevent desiccation. One insect was placed in each cell. There two trays per treatment. Trays were held in the growth chamber at 25 oC, , 16-hour light:8-hour dark, 60% relative humidity for 4 days. The test was evaluated visually at 72 hours for % of mortality and % feeding; the results are listed in Table 10.

Tables 2 to 12 show mixtures and compositions of the present invention demonstrating control on a wide range of invertebrate pests, some with notable synergistic effect. As the % of mortality cannot exceed 100%, the unexpected increase in insecticidal activity can be greatest only when the separate active ingredient components alone are at application rates 5 providing considerably less than 100% control. Synergy may not be evident at low application rates where the individual active ingredient components alone have little activity. However, in some instances high activity was observed for combinations wherein individual active ingredient alone at the same application rate had essentially no activity. The 216196/4 72 synergism is indeed highly remarkable. Noteworthy are mixtures of the compound of Formula 1 and wherein the pest control agent of component (b1) is imidacloprid. Especially noteworthy are weight ratios of component (b) to the compound of Formula 1 in the mixtures and compositions of the present invention which are typically from 200:1 to 1:150, 5 with one embodiment being from 150:1 to 1:50, another embodiment being from 50:1 to 1:10 and another embodiment being from 5:1 to 1:5.
