Abstract

The invention provides combinations of insecticides/acaricides and herbicides comprising an effective amount of components (A) and (B), where component (A) is one or more of the tetramic acid derivatives listed in the description, and (B) one or more herbicides from the group of the herbicides likewise listed in the description, where the combinations may optionally additionally comprise crop plant compatibility-increasing substances (safeners).
The invention also relates to the use of the combinations for controlling animal pests and unwanted vegetation and to the corresponding methods.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An active compound composition comprising compound (A) and one or more compounds of group (B)

and
(B),
glufosinate, glufosinate-ammonium, glufosinate-P, glufosinate-P-ammonium, glufosinate-P-sodium, glyphosate, and glyphosate-isopropylammonium,
wherein the active components consists of (A) and (B) and wherein the weight ratio of (A) to (B) is 1:100 to 100:1.

2. An active compound composition according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of the safeners: benoxacor, cloquintocet, cyprosulfamide, dichlormid, fenclorim, fenchlorazole furilazole, isoxadifen, mefenpyr, 4-(dichloroacetyl)-1-oxa-4-azaspiro[4.5]decane, and 2,2,5-trimethyl-3-(dichloroacetyl)-1,3-oxazolidine.

3. A method for controlling an agricultural pest comprising applying a composition as defined in claim 2 to a plant and/or to an above-ground part of a plant.

4. An agrochemical composition comprising an active compound composition according to claim 1 , and one or more extenders and/or surfactants.

5. A method for controlling an agricultural pest, comprising allowing an active compound composition according to claim 1 to act on an agricultural pest, and/or a habitat thereof.

6. A process for preparing an agrochemical composition, comprising mixing an active compound composition according to claim 1 with one or more extenders and/or surfactants.

7. A method for controlling an agriculture pest comprising applying a composition as defined in claim 1 , to a plant and/or to an above-ground part of a plant.

8. A method for improving production potential of a transgenic plant by controlling an agricultural pest comprising treating the transgenic plant with an effective amount of an active compound composition according to claim 1 .

9. A method according to claim 8 , wherein the transgenic plant is a soya bean plant and/or a cotton plant.

10. An article comprising an active compound composition according to claim 1 and at least one transgenic plant.

11. The active compound composition according to claim 1 wherein component (B) comprises glyphosate.

12. The active compound composition according to claim 1 , comprising a synergistically effective amount of components (A) and (B).

13. The active compound composition according to claim 1 , wherein (B) comprises glufosinate.

14. The active compound composition according to claim 1 , wherein the active components consists of spirotetramat and one or more of glufosinate and glyphosate, and which comprises a synergistically effective amount of components (A) and (B), and wherein the weight ratio of (A) to (B) is 1:100 to 100:1.

15. A method for controlling an agricultural pest, comprising allowing (A) spirotetramat and (B) one or more compounds of glufosinate, glufosinate-ammonium, glufosinate-P, glufosinate-P-ammonium, glufosinate-P-sodium, glyphosate, and glyphosate-isopropylammonium to act on an agricultural pest, and/or a habitat thereo, wherein the active components consists of (A) and (B) and wherein the weight ratio of (A) to (B) is 1:100 to 100:1.

16. A method according to claim 15 , wherein the compounds act on a transgenic, glyphosate- or glufosinate-herbicide-resistant cotton plant.

17. A method according to claim 15 , wherein insects are controlled.
