The present invention further relates to process for preparing the said compositions in specific ratio. The present invention further relates to the process for preparing the said composition along with at least one inactive excipient; and formulations thereof. The present invention further relates to the synergistic agrochemical compositions, wherein active ingredient present in fixed ratio show synergy in insecticidal activity and formulations thereof are stable in nature.
“Plant treatment” refers to the application of insecticide, plant growth regulator and another insecticide to the plant so as to disinfect them from parasitic insects and pest. It also refers to subjecting plants to solar energy exposure, spraying conditioned water etc.
The term “synergistic”, as used herein, refers the combined action of two or more active agents blended together and administered conjointly that is greater than the sum of their individual effects.
“Bioactive amounts” as mentioned herein means that amount which, when applied to the treatment of crops is sufficient to effect such treatment.
The term "health of a plant" or "plant health" is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products. As a result of the improved health, yield, plant vigor, quality and tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress are increased. Noteworthy, the health of a plant when applying the method according to the invention, is increased independently of the pesticidal properties of the active ingredients used because the increase in health is not based upon the reduced pest pressure but instead on complex physiological and metabolic reactions which result for example in an activation of the plant's own natural defense system. As a result, the health of a plant is increased even in the absence of pest pressure. Accordingly, in an especially preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the health of a plant is increased both in the presence and absence of biotic or abiotic stress factors. The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent or they may result from each other. An increase in plant vigor may for example result in an increased yield and/or tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress. One indicator for the condition of the plant is the yield. "Yield" is to be understood as any plant product of economic value that is produced by the plant such as grains, fruits in the proper sense, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g. in the case of silviculture plants) or even flowers (e.g. in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals). The plant products may in addition be further utilized and/or processed after harvesting.
In an especially preferred embodiment of the invention, the yield of the treated plant is increased. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the yield of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.
According to the present invention, "increased yield" of a plant, in particular of an agricultural, silvicultural and/or horticultural plant means that the yield of a product of the respective plant is increased by a measurable amount over the yield of the same product of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the mixture according to the invention.
Increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved proper-ties of the plant: increased plant, weight, increased plant height, increased biomass such as higher overall fresh weight (FW), increased number of flowers per plant, higher grain yield, more tillers or side shoots (branches), larger leaves, increased shoot growth, increased protein content, increased oil content, increased starch content, increased pigment content, increased leaf are index.
A further indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant vigor. The plant vigor becomes manifest in several aspects such as the general visual appearance. In another especially preferred embodiment of the invention, the plant vigor of the treated plant is increased. In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the plant vigor of the plants treated according to the method of the invention is increased synergistically. Improved plant vigor can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties of the plant: improved vitality of the plant, improved plant growth, improved plant development, improved visual appearance, improved plant stand (less plant verse/lodging), improved emergence, enhanced root growth and/or more developed root system, enhanced nodulation, in particular rhizobial nodulation, bigger leaf blade, bigger size, increased plant weight, increased plant height, increased tiller number, increased number of side shoots, increased number of flowers per plant, increased shoot growth, increased root growth (extensive root system), increased yield when grown on poor soils or unfavorable climate, enhanced photosynthetic activity (e.g. based on increased stomatal conductance and/or increased C02 assimilation rate), increased stomatal conductance, increased C02 assimilation rate, enhanced pigment content (e.g. chlorophyll content), earlier flowering, earlier fruiting, earlier and improved germination, earlier grain maturity, improved self-defense mechanisms, improved stress tolerance and resistance of the plants against biotic and abiotic stress factors such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, heat stress, cold stress, drought stress, UV stress and/or salt stress, less non-productive tillers, less dead basal leaves, less input needed (such as fertilizers or water), greener leaves, complete maturation under shortened vegetation periods, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, easier harvesting, faster and more uniform ripening, longer shelf-life, longer panicles, delay of senescence, stronger and/or more productive tillers, better extractability of ingredients, improved quality of seeds (for being seeded in the following seasons for seed production), better nitrogen uptake, improved reproduction, reduced production of ethylene and/or the inhibition of its reception by the plant.
The improvement of the plant vigor according to the present invention particularly means that the improvement of any one or several or all of the above mentioned plant characteristics are improved independently of the pesticidal action of the mixture or active ingredients (components).
Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the "quality" of a plant and/or its products. In an especially preferred embodiment of the invention, the quality of the treated plant is increased.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the quality of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.
According to the present invention, enhanced quality means that certain plant characteristics such as the content or composition of certain ingredients are increased or improved by a measurable or noticeable amount over the same factor of the plant produced under the same conditions, but without the application of the mixtures of the present invention. Enhanced quality can be characterized, among others, by following improved properties of the plant or its product: increased nutrient content, increased protein content, increased content of fatty acids, increased metabolite content, increased carotenoid content, increased sugar content, increased amount of essential amino acids, improved nutrient composition, improved protein composition, improved composition of fatty acids, improved metabolite composition, improved carotenoid composition, improved sugar composition, improved amino acids composition, improved or optimal fruit color, improved leaf color, higher storage capacity, higher process ability of the harvested products.
Another indicator for the condition of the plant is the plant's tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors. Biotic and abiotic stress, especially over longer terms, can have harmful effects on plants. Biotic stress is caused by living organisms while abiotic stress is caused for example by environmental extremes. According to the present invention, "enhanced tolerance or resistance to biotic and/or abiotic stress factors" means (1.) that certain negative factors caused by biotic and/or abiotic stress are diminished in a measurable or noticeable amount as compared to plants exposed to the same conditions, but without being treated with a mixture according to the invention and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the mixture according to the invention on the stress factors, e.g. by its fungicidal or insecticidal action which directly destroys the microorganisms or pests, but rather by a stimulation of the plants' own defensive reactions against said stress factors.

Selective Feeding Blocker:
In general, selective feeding blockers (or inhibitors) are a group of insecticides that have a broad or physical mode of action that prevents insects from feeding by interfering with neural regulation of plant fluid intake in the mouthparts. These insecticides may modify behavior by inhibiting or disrupting stylet penetration into plant vascular fluids (phloem sieve tubes), which prevents insects from obtaining nutrients. This results in starvation.
Selective feeding blockers are active on certain phloem-feeding insects that are problematic in greenhouse production systems; these include aphids and whiteflies. Selective feeding blockers have activity against the young and adult stages, and they rapidly inhibit feeding. For example, aphids will stop feeding within hours, although they will remain alive for two to four days. In addition, selective feeding blockers may inhibit transmission of viruses that are vectored by aphids. These insecticides have no activity on flies (Diptera), beetles (Coleoptera), or caterpillars (Lepidoptera). Selective feeding blockers have both systemic and translaminar activity (penetrate leaf tissues and form a reservoir of active ingredient in the leaf), and can provide up to three weeks of residual activity. Selective feeding blocker insecticides are less directly and indirectly toxic to bees and natural enemies.
Plant Growth Regulators
Plant Growth Regulators are defined as small, simple chemicals produced naturally by plants to regulate their growth and development.
Plant Growth Regulators can be of a diverse chemical composition such as gases (ethylene), terpenes (gibberellic acid) or carotenoid derivatives (abscisic acid). They are also referred to as plant growth substances, phytohormones or plant hormones.
Plant growth hormones are organic compounds which are either produced naturally within the plants or are synthesized in laboratories. They profoundly control and modify the physiological processes like the growth, development, and movement of plants.
Gibberellic acid is a simple gibberellin, a pentacyclic diterpene acid promoting growth and elongation of cells. It affects decomposition of plants and helps plants grow if used in small amounts, but eventually plants develop tolerance to it. Gibberellic acid is a very potent hormone whose natural occurrence in plants controls their development. Since GA regulates growth, applications of very low concentrations can have a profound effect while too much will have the opposite effect. Gibberellins have a number of effects on plant development. They can stimulate rapid stem and root growth, induce mitotic division in the leaves of some plants, and increase seed germination rates.
Moreover oral toxicity of Gibberellic acid (GA3) has been evaluated in S. littoralis and L.migratoriainsect species. Researchers observed that GA3 caused significant reduction in food consumption in both insect species which led to larval weight loss. GA3 toxicity was also demonstrated by larval mortality due to exuviation difficulties.
Paclobutrazol (PBZ) is a plant growth retardant and triazole fungicide. It is a known antagonist of the plant hormone gibberellin. It acts by inhibiting gibberellin biosynthesis, reducing internodal growth to give stouter stems, increasing root growth, causing early fruitset and increasing seedset in plants such as tomato and pepper. PBZ has also been shown to reduce frost sensitivity in plants. Moreover, paclobutrazol can be used as a chemical approach for reducing the risk of lodging in cereal crops. PBZ is used by arborists to reduce shoot growth and has been shown to have additional positive effects on trees and shrubs. Among those are improved resistance to drought stress, darker green leaves, higher resistance against fungi and bacteria, and enhanced development of roots. Cambial growth, as well as shoot growth, has been shown to be reduced in some tree species.
Triacontanol is a fatty alcohol of the general formula C30H62O, also known as melissyl alcohol or myricyl alcohol. It is found in plant cuticle waxes and in beeswax. Triacontanol has been reported to increase the growth of plants by enhancing the rates of photosynthesis, protein biosynthesis, the transport of nutrients in a plant and enzyme activity, reducing complex carbohydrates among many other purposes. The fatty alcohol appears to increase the physiological efficiency of plant cells and boost the potential of the cells responsible for the growth and maturity of a plant.
Brassinolide is a plant hormone. The first isolated brassinosteroid, it was discovered when it was shown that pollen from rapeseed (Brassica napus) could promote stem elongation and cell division. The biologically active component was isolated and named brassinolide.
The present inventors believe that the combination of the present invention surprisingly results in a synergistic action. The combinations of the present invention allow for a broad spectrum of pest control and have surprisingly improved plant vigour and yield. The broad spectrum of the present combination also provides a solution for preventing the development of resistance.
The synergistic composition has very advantageous preventive and systemic insecticidal properties for protecting cultivated plants. As has been mentioned, said active ingredient composition can be used to inhibit or destroy the insect pest and mites that occur on plants or parts of plants of different crops. The synergistic agrochemical composition of specific active ingredient has the special advantage of being highly active against parasitic pest that feed on plant fluids (in phloem).

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 formulations: 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.

It reduces the wash off/run off from foliage during rainy season, enhance the penetration of active ingredeints into the foliage, improve the availability of active ingredients on lower surface of leaves (i.e. translaminar action), and improve the spray coverage which is very much essential for contact action insecticides. Overall, addition of organic silicone type surfactants increases the bioefficacy and residual control period of the products which helps in reducing the number of pesticidal applications into the crop ecosystem.
A dispersant or a dispersing agent is a substance which adsorbs 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 formulations 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. Surfactants that are used as dispersants have the ability to adsorb strongly onto a particle surface and provide a charged or steric barrier to re-aggregation of particles. The most commonly used surfactants are anionic, non-ionic, or mixtures of the two types. For wettable powder formulations, the most common dispersants are sodium lingo sulphonates. In recent years, new types of very high molecular weight polymeric surfactants have been developed as dispersants. These have very long hydrophobic ‘backbones’ and a large number of ethylene oxide chains forming the ‘teeth’ of a ‘comb’ surfactant. These high molecular weight polymers can give very good long-term stability to suspension concentrates because the hydrophobic backbones have many anchoring points onto the particle surfaces.

Procedure: Manufacturing process for GR (Controlled Release) formulation.
Preparation of GR (Controlled/slow release) formulation:
Part A Preparation of active ingredient A slurry for Bentonite Granules
Step 1 Load the Bentonite Granule carrier into an appropriate blender equipped with a heating jacket.
Step 2 Charge water to a vessel, equipped with a high shear stirrer. Under stirring, add Dispersing and wetting agent. Continue stirring until the mixture gets homogenized. Then, again under the stirring add the active ingredient A technical to the vessel.
Step 3 Pass the whole mixed mass through a bead-mill until specified particle size is achieved. Homogenize the milled suspension thoroughly.
Step 4 Under gentle stirring, add Slow releasing agent 1 to milled slurry. Continue to stir until the suspension is thoroughly mixed.
Step 5 Spray this slurry on Blank Bentonite granules by means of suitable spray nozzle and mix until uniform.
Part B Preparation of active ingredient B slurry for Bentonite Granules
Step 1 Mix the active ingredient B technical and solvent along with suitable Emulsifiers and wetting agent and make a solution.
Step 2 Now add Slow releasing agent 2 to this slurry and mix until uniform.
Step 3 Spray this slurry on active ingredient A treated Bentonite granules by means of suitable spray nozzle and mix until uniform.
Part C Preparation of active ingredient C slurry for Bentonite Granules
Step 1 Charge Water, colorant and the active ingredient C to the vessel, equipped with a high shear stirrer. Under stirring, add the thickener gradually. Now add Paraffin wax and continue to stir after the addition is completed and until the mixture is thoroughly mixed.
Step 2 Now charge active ingredient C gel solution onto these granules by means of suitable spray nozzle and mix until uniform.
Step 3 Now add China clay and Silica on these coated Bentonite granules to make them free-flowing and mix until uniform.
Step 4 Dry the granules in the blender to about 40 – 450C. The final product should be a free flowing, non-sticky granule
Step 5 Final product is sent for QC approval.
Step 6 After approval, material is packed in required pack sizes.

The composition of the present invention in addition to bioactive amounts of active ingredients further comprises inactive excipients including but not limited to dispersant, anti-freezing agent, anti-foam agent, wetting agent, suspension aid, disintegrating agent, antimicrobial agent, thickener, quick coating agent or sticking agents, emulsifying agent, filler, binders, anti-caking agents, absorbents and buffering agent.
The process for preparing the present synergistic composition can be modified accordingly by any person skilled in the art based on the knowledge of the manufacturing the formulation. However all such variation and modification is still covered by the scope of present invention.
BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES:
A synergistic effect exists wherever the action of a combination of active ingredient is greater than the sum of the action of each of the components alone. Therefore a synergistically effective amount or an effective amount of a synergistic composition or combination is an amount that exhibits greater pesticidal activity than the sum of the pesticidal activities of the individual components.
In the field of agriculture, it is often understood that the term “synergy” is as defined by Colby S.R. in an article entitled “ Calculation of the synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations” published in the journal Weeds, 1967, 15, p.20-22, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. The action expected for a given combination of two or three active components can be calculated as follows:
FIELD BIO-EFFICACY STUDIES:
The field trials has been carried out on different crops to judge the synergism and benefits of invention in comparison to prior arts.

Brown plant hopper is the key constraint in rice productions. Both the innovative ready-mix formulations (T1& T2) provides synergistic control of brown plant hopper and also gave longer residual control in comparison to all prior art treatments. Both the innovative ready-mix formulations (T1 & T2) shows no plant lodging and produces higher number of productive tillers which are directly contributing to the grain yield. The anti lodging is mainly due to excellent control of BPH and reduction in plant height due to shortening of internodal distance. Both the treatment increases plant girth due to increase in lignification, making the base of plant hard and thus prevent the plant lodging and also reduces the infestation of BPH.
