  • Example F4 Dusts a) b) Active ingredient 2 % 5 %
  • Ready-to-use dusts are obtained by intimately mixing the carriers and the active ingredient.
  • Example F5 Wettable powders a) b) c)
  • the active ingredient is mixed with the additives and the mixture is ground thoroughly in a suitable mil This gives wettable powders, which can be diluted with water to give suspensions of any desired concentration.
  • Example F6 Extruder granules
  • the active ingredient is mixed with the additives, and the mixture is ground, moistened with water, extruded, granulated and dried in a stream of air.
  • Example F7 Coated granules
  • the finely ground active ingredient is applied uniformLy to the kaolin, which has been moistened with the polyethylene glycol. This gives dust-free coated granules.
  • Nonylphenoxypolyethylene glycol ether (15 mol of EO) 6 % Sodium lignosulfonate 10 %
  • Silicone oil (75 % aqueous emulsion) 0.8 %
  • the finely ground active ingredient is mixed intimately with the additives.
  • Suspensions of any desired concentration can be prepared from the thus resulting suspension concentrate by dilution with water.
  • a carrier material was prepared by mixing a urea based polymer with formaldehyde (eg. Pergopak M) and an aluminium silicate (eg. Kaolin Powder AG), followed by an air jet milling procedure to achieve median particle size of approx. 2-5 ⁇ (CILAS 420 particle sizer; measured in aqueous dispersion using a surfactant).
  • formaldehyde eg. Pergopak M
  • aluminium silicate eg. Kaolin Powder AG
  • the active ingredient When the active ingredient showed a liquid character, it had to be dissolved in acetone before it was mixed with the corresponding amount of the above mentioned DS blank formulation. The solution was then transferred into a porcelain mortar vessel and heated up to 40-50°C to evaporate the solvent in the air stream of the fume cupboard.
  • the ratio of carrier had to be adjusted to the needed seed loading rate. (ie. for low dose treatments, a lower concentrated DS formulation was used, to be able to handle a bigger volume of material).
  • the residual active ingredient was found precipitated on the carrier particles, either adsorbed as a film (for liquid active ingredients) or as crystals (for solid active ingredients).
  • This mixture was then scratched off from the bottom of the mortar vessel with a spatula and gently grinded with a pistil to form an homogenous powder.
  • a sticking polymer eg. Vinamul 18160
  • Barley seeds were put into a 50 ml flat bottom glass flask. Two to three droplets of sticking polymer were added to the bottom of the glass without hitting any seed directly. The seeds were then stirred with a spatula to allow them to get covered as homogenously as possible with the sticking polymer. During this step, some seeds may start to stick together or stick to the glass vessel. Stirring was continued until the seeds just started to separate again and flowed mostly free. The seeds were transferred into an Erlenmeyer flat bottom flask which was already containing the required amount of DS formulation, evenly distributed at the bottom of the vessel. The Erlenmeyer flask was shaken in a way that the seeds tumbled around on its bottom. During this process, the DS formulation was continuously collected from the flask surface by the sticky seeds.
  • the following table shows the amounts of active ingredients and of formulations needed for 5 treatments of 15 seeds at different seed loading rates.
  • compositions according to the invention can be broadened considerably, and adapted to prevailing circumstances, by adding other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or fungicidally active ingredients.
  • the mixtures of the compounds of formula (I) with other insecticidally, acaricidally and/or fungicidally active ingredients may also have further surprising advantages which can also be described, in a wider sense, as synergistic activity. For example, better tolerance by plants, reduced phytotoxicity, insects can be controlled in their different development stages or better behaviour during their production, for example during grinding or mixing, during their storage or during their use.
  • Suitable additions to active ingredients here are, for example, representatives of the following classes of active ingredients: organophosphorus compounds, nitrophenol derivatives, thioureas, juvenile hormones, formamidines, benzophenone derivatives, ureas, pyrrole derivatives, carbamates, pyrethroids, chlorinated hydrocarbons, acylureas, pyridylmethyleneamino derivatives, macrolides, neonicotinoids and Bacillus thuringiensis preparations.
