FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to synergistic pesticidal compositions comprising bioactive amounts of (A) Tolfenpyrad; (B) an insecticide selected from class of diamide, metadiamide, isoxazoline or mixtures thereof; (C) at least one insecticide selected from chordotonal organ modulators 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 and chordotonal organ modulators are used to broaden the spectrum of control of insect to improve the pest control with synergistc effect, reduce dosage, thereby reducing environmental impact, to broaden the spectrum of control, i.e. chewing and sucking insects 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 pests.
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 along with chordotonal organ modulators known in the art for the control of pests.
IN201621004267 relates to an insecticidal composition comprising Tolfenpyrad and an insecticide selected from, Pymetrozine, and Fenpyroximate. The present invention also relates to process for preparing the said composition comprising of bioactive amounts of Tolfenpyrad and an insecticide along with one or more inactive excipients.
IN201721003731 relates to an insecticidal formulation comprising Afidopyropen and one more insecticide selected from Diafenthiuron, Pyriproxyfen, Tolfenpyrad and
Acephate with one or more inactive excipient wherein the ratio of Afidopyropen and one more insecticide selected from Diafenthiuron, Pyriproxyfen, Tolfenpyrad and Acephate is 1:50 to 10:1.
CN102726410 relates to method to control striped flea-beetle for one kind, it is characterized in that the preparation that contains Rynaxypyr (Chlorantraniliprole) and Tolfenpyrad to act on plant seed, the weight ratio of described Rynaxypyr and Tolfenpyrad is 1:20-20:1; and described preparation formulation is selected from missible oil, suspending agent, seed coat agent, water dispersible granules, wetting powder, suspension emulsion, extrudes granule, coated granule, aerosol, aqueous emulsion.
CN106614607 relates to a kind of insecticides containing Tolfenpyrad and bromine cyanogen insect amide, it is characterised in that : By active ingredient Tolfenpyrad, Bromine cyanogen insect amide and auxiliary material component are constituted, and the mass ratio of Tolfenpyrad and bromine cyanogen insect amide is 80:1-1:80; and the formulation of the insecticides is breast Oil, suspending agent, water-dispersible granules, wettable powder, aqueous emulsion, micro-capsule suspension.
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, and enhance the residual control.
However still there is a need for a composition comprises Tolfenpyrad; an insecticide selected from class of diamide, metadiamide and isoxazoline or mixtures thereof; and at least one insecticide selected from chordotonal organ modulators, which overcomes some of 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 pesticides 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 frmulations unable to put together more than one active ingredients in a stable firm which is helful to the growers to apply them uniformly in the field conditions.
Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide improved combinations of 3 different insecticides with different mode of action for the control of chewing, sucking and piercing type insects, Foliage feeder and soil hibernating insects for which there is no insecticide 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.

In an embodiment of the present invention an Insecticide from the class of Isoxazoline is selected from fiuxametamide, isocycloseram.
Diamide group of insecticides:
Cyantraniliprole is an insecticide of the ryanoid class. It is approved for use in the United States, Canada, China, and India. Because of its uncommon mechanism of action as a ryanoid, it has activity against pests such as Diaphorina citri that have developed resistance to other classes of insecticides. Cyantraniliprole is highly toxic to bees. It is a new second-generation ryanodine receptor insecticide whose pesticidal mode of action is through unregulated activation of insect ryanodine receptor channels, which leads to internal calcium store depletion and impaired regulation of muscle contraction, causing paralysis and eventual death of the insect. Cyantraniliprole is used to control insect pests in fruit crops, tree nuts, oil seed crops, cotton, grapes, rice, vegetables, ornamentals and turf around the world.
Chordotonal organ modulators:
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 (IRAC) 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, white ies, 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.
Pymetrozine is a new insecticide, highly active and specific against sucking insect pests. Pymetrozine is the only representative of the pyridine azomethines, a new class of insecticides, and is currently being developed worldwide for control of aphids and whiteflies in field crops, vegetables, ornamentals, cotton, hop, deciduous fruit, and citrus, and of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Staol), in rice. The compound appears to have great promise in integrated pest management (TPM) programs due to its high degree of selectivity, low mammalian toxicity, and safety to birds, fish, and non-target arthropods.
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.
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 pest control and has surprisingly improved plant vigour and yield. The broad spectrum of the present combination also provides a solution for preventing the development of resistance and residual control of insect-pests.
The synergistic agrochemical composition has advantageous curative, preventive and systemic pesticidal properties for protecting cultivated plants. As has been mentioned, said active ingredient composition can be used to inhibit or destroy the Insect-pests and mites that occur on plants or parts of plants of different crops or useful plants. The synergistic agrochemical composition of specific active ingredient has the special advantage of being highly active against insect pests. 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 has surprisingly improved plant vigour and yield. The broad spectrum of the present combination also provides a solution for preventing the development of resistance.

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 disease 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 diseases 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 rhizobium 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, 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 fungicidal action which directly destroys the microorganisms or diseases, 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.

The composition of the present invention in addition to bioactive amounts of active ingredients further comprises inactive excipients including but not limited to wetting agents, wetting-spreading-penetrating agent, dispersant or dispersing agent, anti-
freezing agent, anti-foam agent, preservatives, solvents, carriers, suspension aid, thickener, and buffering agent.
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.
Examples of wetting agent used herein for SC (Suspension concentrate) formulation include but not limited to ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block copolymer, 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.

Preparation of Suspo Emulsion (SE) formulation:
Step 1- 2% Gel Preparation: Charge the required quantity of water to a vessel, equipped with a high shear stirrer and start the agitation. Add the required amount of preservative. Mix until homogenous. Add the required amount of thickener and mix vigorously until it is fully wetted.
Step 2- Oil Phase: Charge solvent into the vessel and then add active technical slowly and if required, heat it for 50°C so that technical can be dissolved in solvent and then add emulsifier.
Step 3- Charge the required quantity of water to a vessel, equipped with bulk agitator and a high shear homogenizer and start agitation. Add the required amount of ant freezing agent and mix until uniform. Add the antifoaming agent and ensure that it is well dispersed. Add the wetting and dispersing agent and mix until uniform. Ensure that the dispersing agent is fully dispersed.
Step 4- Now add the active ingredient and continue agitating the vessel contents until all components get dissolved. Mill this pre-mix through a Colloid mill and subsequently through a Dyno mill to meet the specified particle size.
Step 5- Now add remaining antifoaming agent to this mill base to a vessel, equipped with bulk agitator. Mix until uniform.
Step 6- Now add oil phase in aqueous phase and stir for 30 minutes using homogenizer.
Step 7- Add the required amount of 2% aqueous pre-gel and also suspending agent and continue agitation until the formulation is homogeneous and has the target viscosity. Mix well.
Step 8- Final product is sent for QC approval.
Step 9- 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 (%) 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

E = X + Y -

E=Expected percent (°'o) 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 (0/o) 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
The field studies have been conducted to evaluate the synergism and other benefits of innovative ready-mix combinations in comparison to conventional combinations. Experiment 1: Bioefficacy against insect-pests infesting brinjal crop
