FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to synergistic insecticidal compoistion of Pyrifluquinazon; one or more Insecticides selected from class of pyrethroids^ nicotinics, spinosyns, mectins, juvenile hormone mimics, chordotonal organ modulators, mite growth inhibitors, mitochondrial ATP Synthase inhibitors, uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, chitin biosysnthesis type-1 inhibitors, moulting disruptors, mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors (METI), lipid synthesis inhibitors, diamides, metadiamides, isoxazolines, compounds of unknown mechanism of action and Plant Health Additives selected from biostimulants, plant growth regulators, microbial agents and micronutrients or mixtures thereof. The present invention more particularly relates to insecticidal compositions containing Pyrifluquinazon along with plant health additives and a method of preparation of the formulation for the said insecticidal composition.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Pyrifluquinazon was first disclosed in US 5714492A. IUPAC name of Pyrifluquinazon is l-acetyl-l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-[(3-pyridylmethyl)amino]-6-[l,2,2,2-tetrafluoro-l (trifluo-romethyl)ethyl]quinazolin-2-one. Pyrifluquinazon is agrochemically acceptable salt used to control aphids that are resistant to neo-nicotinoid insecticides, or control neomcotinoid resistant insects. It also helps in controlling plant viruses spread by such neomcotinoid resistant insects.
Combination of insecticides and plant health additives compounds is used to enhance the efficacy of insecticides, to increase plant vigor, to increase the plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic factors, to reduce dosage, thereby reducing environmental impact, and decrease the chances of development of resistance. The combination of an insecticide and plant health additives compound at times demonstrate an active or synergistic effect that results in an improved control on the pest and overall crop health as well as improved plant vigour in field condition.
Damage to plants from insects is a major concern for agriculturist. There are various insects such as sap suckers, caterpillars, borer, foliage feeders etc. which reduce the plant
growth and vigor and decrease the overall yield of the crops. Treating plants with such an insecticide and plant health additives combination helps reduce the damage from insect pests and parasitic nematodes. Another advantage of treating the plants with the said combination is the improvement in plant growth, increased yield and overall plant health.

Agricultural biostimulants include diverse formulations of compounds, substances and micro-organisms that are applied to plants or soils to improve crop vigour, yields, quality and tolerance of abiotic stresses. Biostimulants foster plant growth and development throughout the crop life cycle from seed germination to plant maturity in a number of demonstrated ways, including but not limited to:
• Improving the efficiency of the plant's metabolism to induce yield increases and enhanced crop quality;
• Increasing plant tolerance to and recovery from abiotic stresses;
• Facilitating nutrient assimilation, translocation and use;
• Enhancing quality attributes of produce, including sugar content, colour, fruit seeding, etc;
• Rendering water use more efficient;
• Enhancing soil fertility, particularly by fostering the development of complementary soil micro-organisms.
Biostimulants operate through different mechanisms than fertilisers, regardless of the presence of nutrients in the products.
Biostimulants differ from crop protection products because they act only on the plant's vigour and do not have any direct actions against pests or disease. Crop biostimulation is thus complementary to crop nutrition and crop protection.
The present inventors have surprisingly developed an synergistic composition comprising Pyrifluquinazon, one or more Insecticides selected from class of pyrethroids, nicotinics,
spinosyns, mectins, juvenile hormone mimics, chordotonal organ modulators, mite growth inhibitors, mitochondrial ATP Synthase inhibitors, uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, chitin biosysnthesis type-1 inhibitors, moulting disruptors, mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors (METI), lipid synthesis inhibitors, diamides, metadiamides, isoxazolines, compounds of unknown mechanism of action and Plant Health Additives selected from biostimulants, plant growth regulators, microbial agents and micronutrients or mixtures thereof which increase the yield and plant vigour of the treated plant.
Advantages of the present invention
• Increase in yield of treated plants (cereals, pulses, oilseeds, fiber crop, sugar crops, leafy vegetables, tuber crops, fruit crops, flowers, ornamentals etc.)
• Increase in yield due to protection against insect pests and diseases
• Increase in yield due to plant growth regulationrand increase in reproductive parts of plant.
• Increase in yield due to more number of tillers, more branches and sub branches, more number of flowers, more number of fruits
• Increase plant vigor
• Increase tolerance to insect-pests damage
• Increase tolerance to the weather stress, moisture stress
• Prevents lodging in susceptible plants (lodging due to biotic and abiotic factors, like heavy rains, winds, insects and diseases damage.
• Improves quality (means visual appearance, color, size, shape etc.) in grains, fruits, fiber, flowers, tuber, bulb, rhizomes, straw, leaves and other plant parts and plant products
• Improves keeping quality of produce, increase post-harvest life, storage life, protection from post-harvest diseases
• Uniform sizing in tuber, bulb, rhizome and root crops.

The insecticidal composition of the present invention can be applied to any and all developmental stages of pests, such as egg, nymph, larva, pupa and adult. The pests may be controlled by contacting the target pest, its food supply, habitat, breeding ground or its locus with a pesticidally effective amount of the inventive mixtures or of compositions comprising the mixtures.
The insecticidal composition of the present invention is uses to improve the plant health.
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 insecticidal composition of the present invention is increased independently of the insecticidal 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 present 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.
The insecticidal composition of the present invention is used to increase plant logitivity (plant life).
In an especially preferred embodiment of the present invention, the yield of the treated plant is increased.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the yield of the plants treated according to the insecticidal composition of the present 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 insecticidal composition of the present invention.
Increased yield can be characterized, among others, by the following improved properties 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.
According to the present invention, the yield is increased by at least 4 %, preferable by 5 to 10%o, more preferable by 10 to 20%, or even 20 to 30% compared to the untreated control plants or plants treated with pesticides in a way different from the method of the present invention. In general, the yield increase may even be higher.
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 present invention, the plant vigor of the treated
plant is increased. In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the plant vigor of the plants treated with insecticidal composition of the present 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 CO2 assimilation rate), increased stomatal conductance, increased CO2 assimilation rate, enhanced pigment content (e.g. chlorophyll content), earlier flowering, earlier fruiting, earlier and improved germination, earlier grain maturity, improved self-defence 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 present invention, the quality of the treated plant is increased.
In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the quality of the plants treated with the insecticidal composition of the present 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 insecticidal composition 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 processability 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 insecticidal composition of the present invention and (2.) that the negative effects are not diminished by a direct action of the insecticidal composition of the present 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.

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.

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.

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:
Colby's formula for calculating synergism between three active ingredients
E = (X+Y+ Z ) - (XY + XZ+YZ) + (X Y Z)
LOO 10000
Where. E=Expectedpercent(°o) control by mixture or combination of Compound A. CompoimdB and Compound C in a defined dose X=Observed percent (%) control by Compound A Y=Observed percent (°o) control by Compound B Z=Observed percent (%) control by Compound C
Observed percent (%) control
Colby's Ratio =
Expected percent (%) control
If ratio of O/E >1, means synergism observed, O/E < 1, means antagonism, O/E = 1, means additive reaction. Higher the ratio means stronger the synergism

E=Expected percent (° o) control by mixture or combination of Compound A and Compound B

Expected percent (%) control
Ratio of O/E > 1, means synergism observed, 0/E>l, means antagonism, O/E =1, means additive effect. Higher the ratio means stronger the synergism
