Secunderabad – 500 003, Telangana, India

The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a synergistic insecticidal composition comprising bioactive amounts of (a) Emamectin benzoate, (b) Cyantraniliprole, and (d) Diafenthiuron along with suitable agrochemical additives and process for the preparation thereof.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Insecticides are agrochemicals in the pesticide family used to control insects by killing them or preventing the establishment or proliferation of those considered harmful. They play a key role in agriculture and public health by improving the yield and productivity of crops caused by pests and by reducing the rate of vector-borne diseases by killing or affecting growth and development of vectors such as mosquitoes, houseflies, tsetse flies, sand flies, cockroaches, etc.

They are pesticides formulated for repelling, killing, harming, or mitigating insects from crops and other agri-food sources such as ranches, poultry farms, etc. Insecticides work differently based on their mode of actions; some disrupt the nervous system, whereas others damage the exoskeletons, others repel or control them. Insecticides application helps in managing and mitigating insects; thereby guaranteeing crop protection and preventing yield loss.

Emamectin benzoate is an insecticide, with a mechanism of action and a strong activity against Lepidoptera as well as with and a high selectivity on useful organisms. This molecule acts if swallowed and has some contact action. It penetrates leaf tissues (translaminar activity) and forms a reservoir within the leaf. The mechanism of action is unique in the panorama of insecticides. In fact, it inhibits muscle contraction, causing a continuous flow of chlorine ions in the GABA and H-Glutamate receptor sites.

Cyantraniliprole is a member of the bisamides class of insecticides. It is a ryanodine receptor (RyR) modulator which kills insects through unregulated activation of RyR. Insects exposed to cyantraniliprole become lethargic, paralyzed, and eventually die. Cyantraniliprole is a systemic insecticide which is active through both ingestion and contract routes. EPA has registered cyantraniliprole as a broad-spectrum insecticide for controlling insects with mandibulate as well as piercing-sucking mouthparts.

Diafenthiuron is a pesticide, specifically an insecticide. It is a chemical compound which belongs to the thiourea group. It is a broad spectrum, both systemic and contact as well as stomach activity synthetic pesticide impairing mitochondrial function in target pests (phytophagous mites). Due to progressive break-down of diafenthiuron to non-toxic metabolites, it poses no significant reactivity threat in the field of ecotoxicology.

Insecticide or pesticides are used widely and very frequently in commercial agriculture and have enabled an enormous increase in crop yields and product quality which ultimately increased the ease to farmers in term of economic advantage as well as ease of farming activities.

There are many combinations of insecticide known in the art for the control of soil borne pests. However, there is a need for improvement of these combinations. Single and multiple active combinations used over a long period of time has resulted in resistance. With the onset of resistance to certain pests, there is a need in the art for a combination of activities that decreases chances of resistance and improves the spectrum of disease and pest control.

According to the present invention, the suitable agrochemical additives are selected from the group comprising a wetting agent, a dispersing agent, a disintegration agent, a defoamer, an anticaking agent, and a filler.

A wetting agent is a substance that when added to a liquid increases the spreading or penetration power of the liquid by reducing the interfacial tension between the liquid and the surface on which it is spreading. Wetting agents are used for two main functions in agrochemical compositions: during processing and manufacture to increase the rate of wetting of powders in water to make concentrates for soluble liquids or suspension concentrates; and during mixing of a product with water in a spray tank or other vessel to reduce the wetting time of wettable powders and to improve the penetration of water into water-dispersible granules.

Accordingly, the composition of the present invention contains a wetting agent selected from the group comprising of sodium alkyl naphthalene sulfonate blend, sodium isopropyl naphthalene sulfonate, naphthalene sulfonic acid and phenol sulphonic acid sodium salt, iso decyl alcohol ethoxylates, and sodium alkyl (butyl and dibutyl) naphthalene sulfonate, present in a range from 1% to 3% (w/w).

A dispersant or a dispersing agent is a substance which absorbs onto the surface of particles and helps to preserve the state of dispersion of the particles and prevents them from re-aggregating. Dispersants are added to agrochemical compositions to facilitate dispersion and suspension during manufacture, and to ensure the particles re-disperse into water in a spray tank. They are widely used in wettable powders; suspension concentrates and water-dispersible granules.

Accordingly, the composition of the present invention contains a dispersing agent is selected from the group comprising of alkyl naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate, sodium ligno sulphonates, kraft lignin polymer, mixture of naphthalene sulfonic acid and phenol sulphonic acid condensate sodium salt, modified styrene acrylic polymer, sodium salt of naphthalene sulphonates formaldehyde condensate, modified sodium ligno sulphonates, and combination thereof, present in a range from 1% to 10% (w/w).

The alkyl naphthalene sulfonates used in the compositions preferably have alkyl groups with 1 to 10 carbon atoms, such as methyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, and nonyl. Especially preferred products are sodium butyl naphthalene sulfonate and sodium nonyl naphthalene sulfonate.

Disintegrating agents are additive that can be some time useful for improving dispersibility of herbicide formulation. Accordingly, the composition of the present invention contains a disintegration agent selected from sodium sulphate, ammonium sulphate, sodium sulphate (anhydrous), and urea formaldehyde copolymer, present in a range from 10% to 25% (w/w).

Defoamer is a chemical reagent developed for defoaming and foam suppression based on the principle of foaming. The defoamer suitable for the purpose of the present invention is silicon emulsion, present in a range from 0.1% to 2% (w/w).

An anti-caking agent is an additive used in the pesticide industry to avoid the formation of lumps. The anti-caking agent suitable for the purpose of the present invention is silicon dioxide, present in a range from 0.1% to 5% (w/w).

A filler refers to solid chemicals that are added to an herbicide formulation to aid in the delivery of the active ingredient. Accordingly, the composition of the present invention contains a filler is selected from China clay, starch, and Aluminium hydroxide, present in Q.S.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the composition is formulated as water dispersible granule (WDG).

In another embodiment of the invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing an insecticidal composition of Emamectin benzoate, Cyantraniliprole, and Diafenthiuron.

The process for preparing the present agrochemical composition can be modified accordingly by any person skilled in the art based on the knowledge of the manufacturing the composition. However, all such variations and modifications are still covered by the scope of present invention.

Evaluation of synergistic effect of the insecticidal composition of the present invention:

A synergistic effect exists whenever the action of an active ingredient combination is greater than the sum of the actions of the individual components.

After calculating % disease control, the synergism was calculated by below formula:

The synergistic pesticidal action of the inventive mixtures calculated by Colby’s formula as follows:

Appropriate analysis of plant response to fungicide combination is critical in determining the type of activity observed. The most widely used model is the one Gowing* derived and Colby** modified. Gowing described a mathematical formula for calculating the predicting response values for pesticide mixtures. He suggested the expected (E) percent inhibition of growth induced by pesticide A plus pesticide B is as follows, *(Jerry Flint et al, 1988) ***

The synergistic action expected for a given combination of three active components can be calculated as follows:
(AB + AC + BC) ABC
Expected (E) = A + B + C - +
100 10000

Where:
“E” represents expected percentage of pesticidal control for the combination of the two or three active ingredients at defined doses (for example equal to A, B and C, respectively).

“A” is the percentage of pesticidal control observed by compound A at a defined dose.

“B” is the percentage of pesticidal control observed by the compound B at a defined dose.

“C” is the percentage of pesticidal control observed by the compound C at a defined dose.

The synergistic action expected for given combination of two active components can be calculated as follows:

AB
Expected (E) = A + B
100
Where:
A - Percentage of pest control observed by compound A.
B - Percentage of pest control observed by compound B.

When the percentage of pesticidal control observed for the combination is greater than the expected percentage, there is a synergistic effect. (Ratio of O/E > 1, means synergism observed.)

Field Bio-efficacy trials:
Pests of Chilli
Chilli, Capsicum annum L. belongs to the family Solanaceae is one of the important commercial crops grown in India. Nearly 35 species of insect pests occur on chilli which includes thrips, mites, whiteflies, aphids, fruit borers, tobacco caterpillar and other minor pests. The field efficacy trials were conducted on sucking pest complex in chilli. The sucking pests viz., Thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis (Hood), Yellow mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus (Banks), Whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Banks) and Lepidopteran pests like Tobacco cater pillar Spodoptera litura (Hubner) and Fruit borer Helicoverpa armigera (Fabricius) cause severe damage and serious threat to many field crops at early stage and can also affect the crop stand and yield.

Field trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of innovative mixtures i.e., Emamectin benzoate, Cyantraniliprole and Diafenthiuron against sucking & lepidopterans pests in Chilli. The chilli crop was raised with all standard agronomic practices. The experiments were laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) and replicated thrice with an individual plot size of 5 m X 6 m. Spraying was done with manual operated knapsack sprayer with 500 liter of water spray volume per hectare at 30-50 days after transplanting. The observations were recorded by counting the number of sucking pests (Thrips, Mites & Whiteflies) per leaf and number of larvae of lepidopterans pests of Tobacco cater pillar & Fruit borer per plant and five plants per plot. The observations were recorded before spraying, 5 & 10 DAA (Days After Application).
