SYNERGISTIC PESTICIDE COMPOSITION OF FLONICAMID AND BIFENTHRIN

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The present invention relates to a synergistic pesticide composition comprising Flonicamid and Bifenthrin. The present invention particularly relates to a synergistic pesticide composition comprising Flonicamid and Bifenthrin and at least one inactive ingredient, wherein the said composition is Suspo-Emulsion (SE) formulation.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:

Pesticides are the chemicals which are applied on plants to kill or eliminate fungus, bacteria, insects, snails, slugs, or weeds. Pesticides are broadly used in agriculture to facilitate a massive increase in yield of crops and productivity.

Flonicamid [IKI220; N-cyanomethyl-4-(trifluoromethyl) nicotinamide], a pyridine carboxamide compound, is a novel systemic insecticide with selective activity against hemipterous pests, such as aphids and whiteflies, and thysanopterous pests like thrips. It disrupts insect chordotonal organs that can affect hearing, balance, movement to cause cessation of feeding, but the specific target site of the chemical is unknown. Flonicamid is very active against aphids, regardless of differences in species, stages and morphs. Flonicamid has no negative impact on pollinating insects or natural enemies, and thus, Flonicamid provide a new option for integrated pest management programs. Flonicamid also has a good toxicological, environmental and ecotoxicological properties.

Flonicamid is having molecular formula C9H6F3N3O and molecular weight is 229.16 g/mol and having water solubility of 5.2 g/L at 20oC. Flonicamid is stable at pH 4 and pH 5. The amide TFNG-AM is formed from this reaction (under alkaline conditions) and can then be hydrolyzed to TFNG (N-(4- trifluoromethylnicotinoyl) glycine)

Flonicamid was first disclosed in EP0580374B1 and chemically represented as below structure:

Flonicamid is the only insecticide from IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action Committee) Group 29 class. Flonicamid rapidly inhibits the feeding behavior of aphids, and has better action through ingestion than by contact which is unique compared to existing insecticides.

Flonicamid is useful to provide protection in crops like Soybean, Fruit trees, Cereals, Potatoes, Cotton, Vegetables, Ornamentals, etc.

Flonicamid is commercially marketed as a soluble or wettable granule containing 50% Flonicamid, which is to be mixed with water before spraying.

Bifenthrin is a broad spectrum pyrethroid insecticide used in a wide range of crops to control sucking and biting foliar pests like fire ants, blue grass weevil, armyworms, cutworms, centipedes, crickets, earwigs, millipedes, sowbugs, mole crickets, ticks, fleas, grasshoppers. Bifenthrin was first registered for use by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) in 1985.

The IUPAC name of Bifenthrin is 2-methylbiphenyl-3-ylmethyl (Z)-(1RS, 3RS)-3-(2-chloro-3, 3, 3- trifluoroprop-1-enyl) -2, 2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and the molecular formula is C23H22ClF3O2. The relative Molecular mass of Bifenthrin is 422.87 g/ mol.

Bifenthrin is a Type I pyrethroid which is effective by contact or ingestion. It affects the central and peripheral nervous system by interfering with sodium channel gating and delays the closure of the sodium channel. Bifenthrin tend to hold the channel open for shorter times compared to type II pyrethroids.

Bifenthrin is chiral molecule and is a mixture of the Z-isomer (~99.7%) and the E-isomer (~0.3%). Bifenthrin is chemically represented as below structure:



Bifenthrin is having water solubility of 0.001 mg/ L at 20 °C. Bifenthrin is the insecticide from IRAC (Insecticide Resistance Action Committee) Group 3(A) class.

Bifenthrin is effective against a broad range of foliar pests, including Coleoptera, Diptera, Heteroptera, Homoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera and some species of Acarina.

Bifenthrin is useful to provide protection in crops like cereals, citrus, cotton, grapes, ornamentals and vegetables. Bifenthrin is usually formulated as emulsifiable concentrate, granular, suspension concentrate, ultra-low volume liquid, wettable powder formulation.

In India or anywhere in the world, in agricultural production, using synthetic or chemical agent is the most effective means in order to control pests. However, the main disadvantage of such insecticide or pesticide is that on long run, the insects or pets develop resistance to that insecticide or pesticide and as a result to get effective result, higher concentration of the insecticide or pesticide is to be used. Here again using higher dose of insecticide or pesticide may result in some detrimental effect to soil as well as environment. Therefore in general practice, usually combination of pesticide with another pesticide or another herbicide or fungicide is used in different concentration as per requirement.

However, when combinations of one or more pesticide are used, the main challenge is to develop a formulation or composition which is stable, easy to use and also effective.

There are few formulations of Flonicamid and Bifenthrin either reported individually as well as in combination with other pesticides.

IN 202017024614 describes pesticide composition comprising Flonicamid and D-limonene as active ingredients, in a mixing weight ratio of Flonicamid to D-limonene of from 1:150 to 1:1. This prior art does not comprise Bifenthrin in the combination of Flonicamid.

IN 202031004927 relates to an insecticidal formulation comprising 20% solution of imidacloprid and 5% solution of bifenthrin in a ratio of 5:2 w/w in aqueous solution. This prior art does not comprise Flonicamid in the combination of Bifenthrin.

This prior art does not comprise Bifenthrin in the combination with Flonicamid.

CN110637827 relates to a hygienic insecticidal composition containing acetamiprid and pyrethroid, the hygienic insecticidal composition comprises the following effective components: 1%-15% of the acetamiprid, 1%-15% of the pyrethroid and the balance of an auxiliary agent. The dosage forms comprise missible oil, emulsion in water, microemulsion and soluble liquid, wherein the pyrethroid is tetramethylfluthrin, dimefluthrin, metofluthrin, dextral trans-permethrin chlorpromazine acetylene, transfluthrin, phenothrin, teflumethrin, dextral teflumethrin, bioallethrin, chlorempenthrin, dextral allethrin and rich dextral trans-allethrin.
