ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to insecticidal and miticidal compositions which contain as active ingredients 4-bromo-2-(4-chloropheny)-1-(ethoxymethyl)-5-(trifuloromethyl)pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (hereinafter referred to as chlorfenapyr) in combination with a second insecticidal and miticidal ingredient(s) which can be effectively applied especially in the agrohorticultural field.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Chlorfenapyr, which is an active ingredient of the insecticidal and miticidal composition of the invention, is known to be effective against insects such as Hemiptera pests such as leafhoppers (Doltocephalidae), Lepidoptera pests such as diamond back moth (
Plutella xylostella
), common cutworm (
Spodoptera litura
) and apple Ieafminer (
Phyllonorycter ringoniella
) and Thysanoptera pests such as Thrips palmi and yellow tea thrips (
Spirtothrips dorsalis
) and agrohorticultural pests such as mites such as two-spotted spider mite (
Tetranychus urticae koch
), Kanzawa spider mite (
Tetranychus kanzawai kishida
) and
Aculops pelekassi.
The second active ingredient of the insecticidal and miticidal composition of the invention includes one or more of the following compounds:
1) formamidine-type compounds such as 3-methyl-1,5-bis(2,4-xylyl)-1,3,5-triazapenta-1,4-diene (amitraz), N′-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenyl)-N, N-dimethyl-formamidine hydrochloride (Chlorfenamidine) and the like which are known as effective compounds against agrohorticultural pests such as Hemiptera insects and mites:
2) organosulfur-type compounds such as 2,4,5,4′-tetrachlorodiphenyisulfone (tetradifon), p-chlorophenyl p-chlorobenzenesulfonate (CPCBS) and the like which are known to be effective insecticidal and miticidal agents;
3) thiocarbamate-type compounds such as S-4-phenoxybutyl-dimethylthiocarbamate (fenothiocarb) and the like which are known to be effective against a wide spectrum of agrohorticultural pests;
4) isopropyl 4,4′-dibromobenzilate (fenisobromolate) which is known to be effective against insect and mite pests;
5) 5-chloro-N-{2-[2,3-dimethyl-4-(2-ethoxyethyl)phenoxy]ethyl}-6-ethyl-4-pyrimidinamine (pyrimidifen) which is known to be effective against Hemiptera and Lepidoptera insects and mites;
6) 3:7 mixture of (10E, 14E, 16E, 22Z)-(1R, 4S, 5′S, 6R, 6′R, 8R, 13R, 20R, 21R, 24S)-21, 24-dihydroxy-5′, 6′,11,13,22-pentamethyl-3,7, 19-trioxatetra-cyclo[15.6.1.1

,24]pentacosa-10,14,16,22-tetraene-6-spiro-2′-tetrahydropyran-2-one (milbemectin) which is known to be effective against agrohorticultural mites such as Tetranychidae; and
7) dinitrophenol-type compounds such as dinitromethylheptylphenyl crotonate [hereinafter referred to as DPC (Dinocap)] which is known to be effective against agrohorticultural mites such as Tetranychidae and agrohorticultural pathogenic fungi such as powdery mildew.
Although insecticidal and miticidal agents have been developed in order to control various pests such as agrohorticultural pests or hygienic pests and in practice have been used as a single or a mixed agent, pests which have acquired resistance against various agents have been appearing as a result of the repeated use of these agents.
In particular, important economic pests in agrohorticulture such as Tetranychidae, which have a propensity to easily develop resistance against pesticidal agents due to their ability to deposit large numbers of eggs and produce large numbers of generations which, themselves, require only a few days for development are of great concern. Resistance development in this pest family is also favored by a high mutation rate and frequent inbreeding, due to minimal migration. For these reasons, two-spotted spider mite (
Tetranychus urticae koch
), Kanzawa spider mite (
Tetranychus kanzawai kishida
),
Aculops pelekassi
, and the like have acquired resistance, to some degree, against almost all existing pesticidal agents. Therefore, in order to prevent and control the damage caused by Tetranychidae, development of a new insecticidal and miticidal agent which shows a high effect against Tetranychidae which have acquired resistance against the conventional miticidal agents is highly desirable.
However, to obtain an insecticidal and miticidal composition which shows no cross-resistance with existing insecticidal and miticidal agents, has no toxicity problems and has little negative impact on the environment, is extremely difficult. Therefore, a means to delay or prevent the development of resistant strains of pest species is always being sought. In order to apply an effective agent as long as possible, a rotational application of agents with different mechanisms of action is adopted for good pest management practice. However, this approach does not necessarily give satisfactory pest control. Therefore, after a resistance problem has occurred, a countermeasure to resistance by combining insecticidal and miticidal agents has been studied. However, a high synergistic action has not always been found.
Eventhough, chlorfenapyr, is a highly effective miticidal agent at present, it has been recently introduced to the agrochemical market and, in time, may ultimately develop a resistance problem, as has happened with new pesticidal compounds so often in the past.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide an insecticidal and miticidal composition which demonstrates a high controlling effect even against Tetranychidae which have acquired resistance against chlorfenapyr.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In order to establish a countermeasure to a resistance problem in Tetrachychidae against chlorfenapyr before such a problem occurs, the synergistic action with the existing insecticidal, miticidal and fungicidal agents was studied using resistant species which have been artificially established in the laboratory by selecting Tetrachychidae which have been treated with chlorfenapyr. Thus, it has now been found that an insecticidal and miticidal composition which contains as active ingredients chlorfenapyr in combination with one or more compounds specified in a select group of insecticidal and miticidal ingredients shows a joint action or synergistic effect which could not be foreseen from each individual ingredient alone. Namely, the invention exists in the insecticidal and miticidal composition which contains as active ingredients chlorfenapyr in combination with one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of formamidine-type insecticidal and miticidal agents, organosulfur-type insecticidal and miticidal agents, thiocarbamate-type insecticidal and miticidal agents, phenisobromolate, pyrimidifen, milbemectin and dinitromethylheptylphenyl crotonate (hereinafter referred to as Group A).
