Abstract

A method for controlling arthropod pests includes: step a): a step of forming furrows in the soil; step b): a step of placing, in the furrows formed in the previous step, seeds retaining one or more neonicotinoid compounds selected from group I, on the surface or in the interior, and a step of applying an aqueous dispersion or an aqueous solution containing one or more neonicotinoid compounds selected from group I to the furrows formed in the previous step; and step c): a step of covering the furrows. In step b above group I is a group selected from clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for controlling arthropod pests, the method comprising:
Step A): a step of forming furrows in the soil;
Step B): a step of placing, in the furrows formed in the previous step, seeds retaining one or more neonicotinoid compounds selected from Group I, on a surface or in an interior of the seeds, and
a step of applying an aqueous dispersion or an aqueous solution containing one or more neonicotinoid compounds selected from Group I to the furrows formed in the previous step; and
Step C): a step of covering the furrows,
wherein Group I is a group consisting of clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid.

2. The method for controlling arthropod pests according to claim 1 , wherein the seeds are corn seeds.
