Specification

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention relates to synergistic pesticidal compositions comprising bioactive amounts of (A) an insecticide selected from the class of juvenile hormone mimics; (B) an insecticide selected from class of homopteran feeding blockers or mixture thereof; and (C) at least one more insecticide selected from the class of tetronic acid, tetramic acid, diafenthiuron, tolfenpyrad, dimpropyridaz or mixture thereof. The present invention further relates to process of preparing said composition along with at least one inactive excipients and formulation thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Combination of insecticides are used to broaden the spectrum of control of insect, to improve the control of Insect-pest and mites with synergistic effect, reduce dosage, thereby reducing environmental impact, to broaden the spectrum of control, i.e. Insect-pest and mites at a time, decrease chances of resistance development and to enhance residual control so lesser the number of sprays for crop protections and minimizing the pesticidal load in ecosystem. The combination of insecticides at times demonstrate an additive or synergistic effect that results in an improved control on the Insect-pest and mites.
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 Insect-pest and mites. For example, CN101765592B relates to the pesticidal composition and method of application for controlling the invertebrate pests and to promote the plant health. The patent further relates to the composition comprising insecticidal mixture comprises of insecticides Pyriproxyfen and Pyrifluquinazon along with other insecticidal agents.
AU2013226812B2 relates to a pest control composition containing a novel iminopyridine derivative and at least one of other pest control agents. The patent further

relates to pesticidal mixture comprises of insecticides Pyriproxyfen and Afidopyropen along with other pesticidal agents.
CN1988803B relates to a pesticidal composition for controlling the pests and increase the plant health and the crop yield comprising juvenile hormone mimics, ryanodine receptor ligands, mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors along with other pesticidal agent. The patent further relates to the composition discloses the Pyriproxyfen and Flonicamid along with other pesticidal agents.
There is however a need for improvement of these combinations. Single 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 actives that decreases chances of resistance and improves the spectrum of pest control.
However still there is a need for a composition comprises an insecticide selected from the class of juvenile hormone mimics; an insecticide selected from class of homopteran feeding blockers or mixture thereof; and at least one more insecticide selected from the class of tetronic acid, tetramic acid, diafenthiuron, tolfenpyrad, dimpropyridaz or mixture thereof which overcomes the existing problems and can be prepared easily without much complex manufacturing process.
In general use, the pesticide actives are used in the form of a dilute aqueous composition because it can attain a good interaction with the target organism, such as plants, and insects. However, most active pesticide compounds that are used as insecticides are only sparingly or even insoluble in water. The low solubility of such compounds present the challenges and difficulties to formulator in formulating pesticide compounds in stable formulations that can be easily stored for a long time and which still have a high stability and effective activity until end use. This problem especially occurs and may get worsen if more than one active compound is present in the composition.
Most pesticides are applied at low rate which makes it difficult for the user to apply uniformly in the field conditions. Many pesticides are unstable in terms of their active ingredients. There are formulations unable to put together more than one active ingredients in a stable from which is helpful to the growers to apply them uniformly in the field conditions.

Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide improved combinations of three different insecticides for the control of Insect-pest and mites which can overcome these problems.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide improved combinations of three different insecticides that promote plant health.

Juvenile hormone mimics:
Pyriproxyfen is a pesticide which is found to be effective against a variety of insects. It was introduced to the US in 1996, to protect cotton crops against whitefly. It has also been found useful for protecting other crops. It is also used as prevention against flea control on household pets, for killing indoor and outdoor ants and roaches. Methods of application include aerosols, bait, carpet powders, foggers, shampoos and pet collars. Pyriproxyfen is a juvenile hormone analog and an insect growth regulator. It prevents larvae from developing into adulthood and thus rendering them unable to reproduce.
Homopteran feeding blockers:
Afidopyropen was discovered from biological fermentation, which is a propene compound, being a new insecticide for control of piercing-sucking mouthparts. It has the features of fast action, high efficiency and broad spectrum. Its ingredient is included by Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (TRAC) as the first of the Group 9D, as well as the sole insecticidal ingredient, which has no cross resistance to the existing insect pest management system. Afidopyropen interferes with the chordotonal organ of the insect, which causes insects to lose their reaction to gravity, balance, sound, position and movement, resulting in epicophosis and loss of direction, further leading to food and water loss, and thus causes insect deaths from hunger.
Afidopyropen effectively reduces viral and bacterial diseases transmitted by insect vector, being very effective in the control of aphid and whitefly, with a long-lasting effect. It is also effective against different stages of insects (ineffective to ovum). It has

an outstanding foliar infiltration capacity, and is resistant to rain wash due to its unique formulation.
Flonicamid exhibits excellent aphicidal activity and also shows good insecticidal activity against other sucking insect pests such as thrips, whiteflies, planthoppers, leafhoppers, plant bugs, and mealybugs in fruit trees, cereals, rice, potatoes, cotton, vegetables and ornamentals. Flonicamid soil applications also provide control of the foliar pests mentioned above. Flonicamid rapidly inhibits the feeding behavior of aphids, and has better action through ingestion than by contact. Its mode of action is different from other insecticides such as neonicotinoids, pymetrozine and pyri uquinazon. Flonicamid belongs to IRAC Group 29 and is the only insecticide in this class.
Pyrifluquinazon is a recently commercialized insecticide that interferes with chordotonal receptor neuron function. Eggs, first-instar nymphs, and mid-instar nymphs of Bemisia tabaci Middle East Asia Minor 1 (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) were treated on cotton leaves with 0.057 g. ai./liter Pyrifluquinazon 20 SC in a growth room study. When 5-d-old eggs were treated, there was essentially no survival among emerging crawlers. When crawlers and first instars were treated, survival and development to subsequent instars was drastically reduced compared with the untreated control. Treatment of mid instars had no effect on mortality.
Tetronic and Tetramic acid derivatives:
Spiropidion chemically is a Tetronic and Tetramic acid derivatives. It has IUPAC name as [3-(4-chloro-2,6-dimethylphenyl)-8-methoxy-l-methyl-2-oxo-l,8-diazaspiro dec-3-en-4-yl] ethyl carbonate. Spiro N-methoxy piperidine ring containing aryldiones for the control of sucking insects and mites. It is an inhibitors of acetyl CoA carboxylase.
Diafenthiuron is an aromatic ether that is l,3-diisopropyl-5-phenoxybenzene in which the hydrogen atom at position 2 is substituted by a (tert-butylcarbamothioyl)nitrilo group. An agricultural proinsecticide which is used to control mites, aphids and whitefly in cotton. It has a role as an oxidative phosphorylation inhibitor and a proinsecticide. It is a thiourea acaricide, a thiourea insecticide and an aromatic ether. It derives from a diphenyl ether. It has an IUPAC name as l-tert-butyl-3-[4-phenoxy-2,6-di(propan-2-yl)phenyl]thiourea.

Tolfenpyrad is an aromatic amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-chloro-3-ethyl-l-methylpyrazole-5-carboxylic acid with the amino group of l-[4-(4-methylphenoxy)phenyl]methylamine. It has a role as a mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone reductase inhibitor, an agrochemical, an EC 1.3.5.1 [succinate dehydrogenase (quinone)] inhibitor and an antifungal agent. It is a pyrazole insecticide, an aromatic amide, an aromatic ether and an organochlorine compound. It has an IUPAC name as 4-chloro-5-ethyl-2-methyl-N-[[4-(4-methylphenoxy) phenyl] methyl] pyrazol e -3 -carb oxami de.
Dimpropyridaz is a pyrazole carboxamide insecticide that has a pyridin-3-yl group, as in tyclopyr-azoflor. Dimpropyridaz is effective against aphids. It has an IUPAC name as l-[(lRS)-l,2-dimethylpropyl]-N-ethyl-5-methyl-N-pyridazin-4-yl-lH-pyrazole-4-carboxamide.
The present inventors believe that the combination of the present invention surprisingly results in a synergistic action. The combination of the present invention allows for a broad spectrum of insect pest and mites control and has surprisingly improved plant vigour and yield. Also providing residual control, i.e. longer duration of control and thereby reducing the number of applications. The broad spectrum of the present combination also provides a solution for preventing the development of resistance.
Therefor the aspect of the present invention provides the pesticide composition of active ingredients comprising (A) an insecticide selected from the class of juvenile hormone mimics; (B) an insecticide selected from class of homopteran feeding blockers or mixture thereof; and (C) at least one more insecticide selected from the class of tetronic acid, tetramic acid, diafenthiuron, tolfenpyrad, dimpropyridaz or mixture thereof; are present in following different preferred combination in present pesticidal composition as below:

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, silvi cultural 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.
According to the present invention, the yield is increased by at least 5%, preferable by 5 to 10 %, 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 according to 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 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 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 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 insecticidal action which directly destroys the microorganisms or pests, but rather by a stimulation of the plants' own defensive reactions against said stress factors.
Formulation of the present invention can be in any of the formulations selected from Capsule suspension (CS), Dispersible concentrate (DC), Emulsifiable concentrate (EC), Emulsion, water in oil (EO), Emulsion, oil in water (EW), Jambo balls or bags (bags in water soluble pouch), Micro-emulsion (ME), Oil dispersion (OD), Oil miscible flowable concentrate (oil miscible suspension (OF), Oil miscible liquid (OL), Suspension concentrate (SC), Suspo-emulsion (SE), Soluble concentrate (SL), Water dispersible granule (WG or WDG), Water soluble granule (SG), Water soluble powder (SP), Wettable powder (WP), A mixed formulation of CS and SC (ZC), A mixed formulation of CS and SE (ZE), A mixed formulation of CS and EW (ZW), Granule (GR) / Soil Applied Granules (SAG), Controlled release granules (CR).
One or more of the active ingredients is encapsulated for various purposes, such as to increase the residual biological activity, or to reduce the acute toxicity, or to obtain a physical or chemically stable water-based formulation. The purpose determines whether the "free" active ingredient and the "release rate" are relevant properties of a specific product.

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.

polyarylphenyl ether phosphate, polyalkoxylated butyl ether, ethoxylated fatty alcohol, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, alkyl diphenyl sulfonates, sodium isopropyl naphthalene sulfonate, alkyl naphthalene sulfonate.
Examples of wetting agent used herein for Oil dispersion (OD) formulation includes but not limited to ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer, polyarylphenyl ether phosphate, ethoxylated fatty alcohol, sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate, alkyl diphenyl sulfonates, sodium isopropyl naphthalene sulfonate, alkyl naphthalene sulfonate.

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.
Examples of dispersants or dispersing agent used herein for Oil dispersion (OD) formulation includes but not limited to alkyl sulfonates, alkyl benzene sulfonates, alkyl aryl sulfonates, alkylphenolalkoxylates, tristyrylphenol ethoxylates, natural or synthetic fatty ethoxylate alcohols, natural or synthetic fatty acid alkoxylates, natural or synthetic fatty alcohols alkoxylates, alkoxylated alcohols (such as n-butyl alcohol poly glycol ether), block copolymers (such as ethylene oxide-propylene oxide block copolymers and ethylene oxide-butyl ene oxide block copolymers), fatty acid-polyalkylene glycol condensates, polyamine-fatty acid condensates, polyester condensates, salts of polyolefin condensates, sodium ligno sulfonate, sodium ploycarboxylate,EO/PO based copolymer, phenol sulfonate, sodium methyl oleoyl taurate, styrene acrylic acid copolymer, propyleneoxide-ethyleneoxide-copolymer, polyethylene glycol 2,4,6-tristyrylphenyl ether, tristyrylphenole with 16 moles EO, tristyrylphenol-polyglycolether-phosphate, oleyl-polyglycolether with ethylene oxide, tallow fattyamine polyethylene oxide, nonylphenol polyglycolether with 9-10 moles ethylene oxide.

Procedure: Manufacturing process of Oil dispersion (OD) formulation:

Preparation of Oil dispersion (OD) formulation:
Part A Preparation of the liquid premix
Step 1 Charge Vegetable oil or solvent or both into a vessel with anchor stirrer.
Step 2 Under stirring, add the emulsifier and dispersing agent and stir until all ingredients are dissolved completely.
PartB Preparation of the slurry
Step 1 Now, charge the liquid premix into a second vessel, equipped with a cooling and heating device and a high shear stirrer.
Step 2 Add the active ingredient and homogenize thoroughly. Pre-mill this mixture and finally mill it using a bead mill to achieve a particle size distribution as required by the specification.
PartC Preparation of the Thickener gel
Step 1 Charge the vegetable/plant/seed oil or solvent to the vessel, equipped with a high shear stirrer.
Step 2 Add gradually the thickener which is organophilic clay, maintaining high-shear mixing throughout. Stirring is continued until thoroughly mixed.
Step 3 Under stirring, the thickener activating agent propylene carbonate is added. Allow the gel to swell whilst maintaining mixing.
PartD Preparation of the final formulation
Step 1 Now add the thickener gel or silica and disperse the mixture by using a high shear stirrer.
Step 2 Finally add the recommended wetting and spreading agent or adjuvants (silicone or non-silicone based) to this formulation and disperse by using high shear stirrer.
Step 3 Check the finished formulation to specification.
Step 4 After approval, material is packed in required pack sizes.

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)
100 10000
Where. E=Expectedpercent (%) control by mixture or combination of Compound A. Compound B and CompoundC in a defined dose X=Observed percent (°/o) control by Compound A Y=Observed percent (%) control by CompoundB 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
Colby's formula for calculating synergism between two active ingredient
XY
E=X+Y-

E=Expected percent (%) control by mixture or combination of Compound A and Compound B
in a defined dose X=Observed percent (%) control by Compound A Y=Observed percent (%) control by Compound B
Observed percent (%) control
Ratio =
Expected percent (%) control
Ratio of O/E > 1, means synergism observed, 0/E> 1, means antagonism, O/E = 1, means additive effect. Higher the ratio means stronger the synergism
FIELD BIO-EFFICACY STUDIES:
The field trials have been carried out on different crops to judge the synergism and
benefits of innovative ready-mix combinations in comparison to conventional
treatments.
