FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to an Insecticidal composition for pest control, more particularly
to a stable and synergistic combination formulation of a thiadiazin class of chitin inhibitor and
a pyrazole group insecticide, which is a potent inhibitor of central nervous system, m
suspension concentrate form.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Insect pests are one of the worst enemies of crops. They cause severe damages to the crops
resulting in reduced crop productivity. In heavily infested areas 80 to 90 percent crop
damages has been reported. In agrarian countries like India it badly impacts the economy of
the country. Controling crop pest population has been a major issue and various traditional
and advanced means are being used to minimize the damage caused by insect pests. Most
frequently and widely used method to control insect pests is use of insecticides/pesticides.
Continuous use of pesticides and insecticides years after years, in uncontrolled and
unscientific manner has resulted in development of resistance in the insect pests and this
resistance continues to broaden in spectrum against the number of insecticides/pesticides.
Continuous high intensity use of insecticides and pesticides has given rise to some other
critical issues like presence of high quantity of insecticide residues in agricultural products,
increasing environmental pollution and damage to ecological balance and deteriorating health
of consumers.
Therefore, there is a need for an insecticidal formulation that is highly efficient, has low
toxicity, covers a broader spectrum of insects and is environment friendly and economical.
Various combination insecticidal formulations, containing two or more insecticides or one or
more insecticide and some other chemical or one or more insecticide and one or more natural
products or plant extracts , are in market. The present invention relates to the insecticidal
formulation containing fipronil and buprofezin.

Fipronil belonging to phenyl pyrazol class of insecticides is a highly effective, broad spectrum
insecticide with a potential value for the control of a wide range of insects. It can be applied at
low to very low dose to achieve effective pest control. It . disruptes the insect central
nervous system by interfering with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) regulateu chloride
channel and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels, resulting toxicity to central nervous
system. This prevents the opening of chloride ion channels normally controlled by GABA,
which results in reduced uptake of chloride ions, over stimulation of neurons and ultimately
causing paralysis and death of insect pest.
IUPAC naming of Fipronil is (RS)-5-amino-1-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-
(trifluoromethylsulfinyl)-lH-pyrazole-3-carbonitrile.

Buprofezin is a chitin synthesis inhibitor. It inhibits moulting of nympths and larvae, leading
to the death of insect pests. It also suppresses oviposition by adult pests and forces the treated
insects to lay sterile eggs, hence preventing the pests to multiply.
The prior arts have reported individual formulations of buprofezin and fipronil in aqueous
suspension form, but they are not capable of covering a braod spectrum of insects.
The emulsifiable concentrate of combination of buprofezin and fipronil are known in prior art
but because of poor solubility of fipronil in organic solvents the formulations are not stable on
long term storage and exhibit crystallization on spray and become phytotoxic. The solvent
' based formulations are also prone to fire hazards and are not very cost effective.
The invention of CN 101873800 discloses an insecticidal formulation comprising buprofezin
together with one or more compounds selected from fipronil, fipronil acetyl, vanilla fipronil,
acetomiprid, ethiprole and nitriles. This invention discloses use of water as well as organic
solvents for formulation of this combination. This invention further discloses use of this
insecticidal combination as emulsifiable concentrate, emulsifiable suspension, powder,
granules and wettable powder.
The invention of CN1 01569309 discloses combined fipronil and buprofezin as emulsified
formulation in organic solvent.
The invention of CN104872156 also discloses combined fipronil and buprofezin as
emulsified formulation in organic solvent. This invention further discloses the presence of
fipronil and buprofezin in proportion of 3: 24- 36 (w/w) in final solution.
A stable insecticidal combination of fipronil and buprofezin m aquous or oil based
suspension concentrate form is not known.
To meet the present day requirements, there is still a need of novel, stable, less hazardous,
safer in handling economical combinations , which are effective against broader spectrun of
insects.

The antimicrobial agents such as potassium sorbate, chlorinated isothiazoline sodium salts,
parabens are also added to the insecticidal composition to enable long term storage and
prevent fouling .
The present invention also provides a process for the preparation of the combination
formulation of the present insecticide, comprising the steps of:
1. Forming the aqueous solution comprising of wetting and dispersing agents.
2. Suspending Buprofezin (15-25%) and Fipronil (l - 5%) in the aqueous solution.
3. Addition of anti freeze agent, such as polyol and silicon/ alcohol based anti foam
agent to the aqueous suspension.
4. Particle size reduction of the suspension up to D90 less than 5 micron in a pressurized
bead mill.
5. Adding the stabilizing agents to the homogenized suspension to enhance viscosity.
6. Finally the addition of the antimicrobial agents to the suspension prevent fouling.
The formulation thus prepared with varying amounts of wetting agents, dispersing agents
were subjected to stability study and the optimum dose of the ingredients were selected.
Formulation selected after various permutation and combination of ingredients was found to
be stable and no Ostwald ripening was observed. The best stable formulation was checked for
parameters of description, suspensibility, dispersibility, pourability, viscosity, pH, under
conditions of ambient temperature, heat stability and cold conditions at 1 ooc.
The present invention utilizes the combined mode of action of the two active ingredients,
buprofezin and fipronil, in targeting and killing of the pests. Buprofezin acts as a chitin
synthesis inhibitor to make an instant effect upon the live target population due to its growth
regulating activity . Upon spraying, it comes in the contact with target species & enters into
the body of immature & adults to act as a contact and stomach poison. Even in female adult
insects, it reduces the egg laying capacity by acting on prostaglandin hormone responsible for
yolk deposition in eggs. Even if the eggs are laid by females, which are exposed to the
chemical composition of our present invention, the eggs fail to hatch. Buprofezin due to its

inherent characteristic of being a chitin synthesis inhibitor, the exposed nymphs fail to emerge
as adults.
On the other hand, fipronil interferes with the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA-) regulated
chloride channel and glutamate-gated chloride (GluCl) channels and prevents the opening of
chloride ion channels, reduces the uptake of chloride ions :md over stimulates the neurons,
resulting in central nervous system toxicity and paralysis and death of insect pests.
The combination insecticidal formulation of present invention (Brand name: IIL-BUPFIPRO)
primarily confers a delayed but long-lasting effect of the insecticidal composition which helps
in preventing development of resistance by the insects. The efforts are made to use the
different killing properties of both the chemical so that .it acts as a broad spectrum Insecticide
with the minimum dosage. The combination formulation of the present invention is effective
in protecting vast number of agricultural crops from a wide range of pests.
The present invention is further illustrated & established by a set of non limiting examples,
depicting the efficacy of the formulation of active ingredients as described above.
EXAMPLE-I
To check the efficacy of present formulation IIL-BUPFIPRO, three doses each of IILBUPFIPRO
(250, 500 and 750 mllha) along with three other insecticides viz. Fipronil 5% SC
@ 1500mllha, Thiamethoxam 25% WG @ lOOgm/ha and Buprofezin 25% SC @ 800 mil ha
formulation were sprayed with an untreated check to work out their efficacy against brown
plant hopper and leaf folder of rice and to find out the phytotoxic effects of IIL-BUPFIPRO
on rice along with the effect of higher dose of IIL-BUPFIPRO at 1500ml/ha. Three rounds of
spraying was done at the interval of 15 days each to observe natural infestation of BPH and
leaf folder.

(C) Impact of IIL-BUPFIPRO against natural enemies:
(i) Impact of IIL-BUPFIPH.O against spider populations after three round of
spraying during kharif season of 2014
Among many of the natural enemies of rice ecosystem spiders were observed as the most
dominant and are very effective predator in suppressing the population of BPH and other
pests. Hence, the impact of IIL-BUPFIPRO at different dosages in comparison with other
three insecticides has been observed on spider population before spray and 3, 7 and I 0 days
after spraying. The data obtained after 3 round of spraying on the percent reduction of spider
:.population at different elates after spray has been presented in table 7, 8 and 9. The per cent
reduction of spider population decreases at 7 and I 0 days after spray during 1st round of
spraying. Similar pattern of result also obtained from 2'1(1 and 3rct round of spray_ing.
