The present invention relates to pesticidal mixtures of benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl, and to methods of applying said mixtures.

There is a need for effective and safe pesticides and pesticide mixtures, especially in agricul ture, and especially against rice pest invertebrates. It has been found that these objectives can be achieved by agrochemical mixtures comprising the pesticides benzpyrimoxan and oxazosul- fyl.

In a first aspect, the invention relates to agrochemical mixtures comprising benzpyrimoxan and the pesticide oxazosulfyl (mixtures according to the invention).

Benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl are also called compound I and/or compound II of the mixtures according to the invention, or compounds of the present invention. As the order of the mixture partner in the name of the mixture is irrelevant, it is irrelevant if a compound is called compound I or compound II.

Benzpyrimoxan and some of its mixtures are described in W02016104516.

Oxazosulfyl is described e.g. in WO2017104592, and some of its mixtures in W02016002595.

One typical problem arising in the field of pest control lies in the need to reduce the dosage rates of the active ingredient in order to reduce or avoid unfavorable environmental or toxico logical effects whilst still allowing effective pest control. Another problem encountered concerns the need to have available pest control agents which are effective against a broad spectrum of pests.

There also exists the need for pest control agents that combine knock-down activity with prolonged control, that is, fast action with long lasting action.

Another difficulty in relation to the use of pesticides is that the repeated and exclusive applica tion of an individual pesticidal compound leads in many cases to a rapid selection of pests which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Therefore there is a need for pest control agents that help prevent or overcome resistance. Furthermore, there is a desire for pesticide compounds or combination of compounds, which when applied improve plants, which may result in“plant health”,“vitality of plant propaga tion material” or“increased plant yield”.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide agricultural combinations, which solve one or more than one of the discussed problems as

- reducing the dosage rate,

- enhancing the spectrum of activity,

- combining knock-down activity with prolonged control,

- improving resistance management,

- Improved plant health;

- Improved vitality of plant propagation material, also termed seed vitality;

- Increased plant yield. It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide pesticidal mixtures which solve at least one of the discussed problems.

It has been found that this object is in part or in whole achieved by the combination of active compounds as defined herein.

Moreover, the invention relates to

a method for treating animals infested or infected by parasites which comprises administering to the animals a parasitically effective amount of the pesticidal mixture as defined herein to the animal in need thereof; and

the use of the pesticidal mixture as defined herein for combating parasites in and on animals.

In a special embodiment, the invention relates to the use of the mixtures according to the invention to combat or control rice pest invertebrates, respectively to methods of combating or controlling rice pest invertebrates by applying such mixtures. Rice (Oryza species, especially Oryza sativa) is an important basic food in the world. It is a sta- ple food in Asia and is an important part of many cultures. Rice is therefore an important crop and is cultivated in large areas, especially in Asia.

Invertebrate pests and, in particular, insects, arthropods and nematodes cause significant dam age to growing and harvested rice crop, thereby causing large economic loss to the food supply and to property. While a large number of pesticidal agents are known, due to the ability of target pests to develop resistance to said agents, there is an ongoing need for new agents for combat ing invertebrate pests such as insects, arachnids and nematodes. Further, rice cultivation re quires special pesticides suitable for the farming methods used in rice, e.g. use of nursery boxes, paddy fields, aquatic environment and so on. Pesticides suitable for the use in rice must also be tolerated well by the rice plants. They must also be tolerated well by the environment of the rice plants, e.g. from an ecotoxicological point of view, i.e. they must not harm beneficial or ganisms. Further, they must survive the conditions in which they are applied, to ensure efficacy. This is especially a challenge in the aquatic environment and the high temperature climate con ditions, in which rice is usually grown. On the other hand, they must degrade within a reasona ble period of time so that they do not have any negative impact on the environment. They must not impact the health of the farmer and the consumer. They should not be present in the rice product later on (low or no residues), to ensure safety of the human beings consuming the rice. Furthermore, many pests have developed resistance against pesticides commonly used in rice. Therefore, pesticides suitable for the use in rice should be effective against those pests have developed resistance to other pesticides. Not all pesticides are able fulfil the requirements to be used in these conditions.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide compounds having a good pesticidal activity and showing a good activity spectrum against a large number of different invertebrate pests occurring in rice, especially against insects, arachnids and nematodes that are difficult to control, while still showing a good regulatory profile.

In a further embodiment of the invention, the invention relates to a mixture according to the in vention, wherein benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl are the only active ingredients (binary mix tures). They may however, comprise further ingredients like carriers, adjuvants, auxiliaries and other formulation ingredients.

As mentioned above, the mixtures according to the invention are especially suitable in rice.

In oneembodiment of the invention, the invention relates to certain methods and uses of the mixtures according to the invention, in rice:

— mixture according to the invention for use in controlling rice pests, especially rice pest inver tebrates, in rice

— compositions comprising a mixture according to the invention, for use in controlling rice pests, especially rice pest invertebrates, in rice;

— a method for combating rice pest invertebrates, infestation, or infection by rice pest inverte brates, which method comprises contacting said pest or its food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with a pesticidally effective amount of a mixture according to the invention as de fined above or a composition thereof; — a method for controlling rice pest invertebrates, infestation, or infection by invertebrate pests, which method comprises contacting said pest or its food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with a pesticidally effective amount of a mixture according to the invention as de fined above or a composition comprising the mixture according to the invention;

— a method for preventing or protecting against rice pest invertebrates comprising contacting the rice pest invertebrates, or their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with a mixture according to the invention as defined above or a composition comprising a mixture accord- ing to the invention as defined above or a composition comprising a mixture according to the invention;

— a method for protecting rice, rice plants, rice plant propagation material and/or growing rice plants from attack or infestation by rice pest invertebrates comprising contacting or treating the rice, rice plants, rice plant propagation material and growing rice plants, or soil, material, surface, space, area or water in which the rice, rice plants, rice plant propagation material is stored or the rice plant is growing, with a pesticidally effective amount of a mixture accord- ing to the invention as defined above or a composition comprising a mixture according to the invention;

— a method for increasing the health of rice plants, especially in paddy rice fields, comprising the treatment with a mixture according to the invention;

— a method for increasing the yield of rice plants, comprising the treatment with a mixture ac- cording to the invention;

— rice seed comprising a mixture according to the invention as defined above, in an amount of from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed;

— the use of a mixture according to the invention as defined above for protecting growing rice plants or rice plant propagation material from attack or infestation by rice pest invertebrates;

All the compounds of the mixtures of the present invention including if applicable their stereoiso- mers, their tautomers, their salts or their N-oxides as well as compositions thereof are particu larly useful for controlling invertebrate pests, in particular for controlling arthropods and nema todes and especially insects. Therefore, the invention relates to the use of a compound as dis closed in the present invention, for combating or controlling invertebrate pests, in particular in vertebrate pests of the group of insects, arachnids or nematodes.

The term "composition(s) according to the invention" or "composition(s) of the present invention" encompasses composition(s) comprising a mixture according to the invention according to the invention as defined above, therefore also including a stereoisomer, an agriculturally or veteri nary acceptable salt, tautomer or an N-oxide of the respective compounds.

Moreover, it has also been found that simultaneous, that is joint or separate, application of benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl or successive application of benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl al lows enhanced control of pests, compared to the control rates that are possible with the individ ual compounds. The mixtures of the invention may be a physical mixture of benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl. Ac- cordingly, the invention also provides a mixture benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl. However, the composition may also be any combination of benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl, it not being re- quired benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl to be present together in the same formulation.

An example of a composition according to the invention or to be used according to the invention in which benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl are not present together in the same formulation is a combipack. In a combipack, two or more components of a combipack are packaged separately, i.e., not jointly pre-form ulated. As such, combipacks include one or more separate containers such as vials, cans, bottles, pouches, bags or canisters, each container containing a separate component for an agrochemical composition. One example is a two-component combipack. Ac cordingly, the invention also relates to a two-component combipack, comprising a first compo nent which in turn comprises compound I, a liquid or solid carrier and, if appropriate, at least one surfactant and/or at least one customary auxiliary, and a second component which in turn comprises at least one compound II, a liquid or solid carrier and, if appropriate, at least one sur factant and/or at least one customary auxiliary. More details, e.g. as to suitable liquid and solid carriers, surfactants and customary auxiliaries are described below.

The "combined" use of benzpyrimoxan "in combination with" and oxazosulfyl on the one hand can be understood as using a physical mixture of benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl. On the other hand, the combined use may also consist in using benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl separately, but within a sufficiently short time of one another so that the desired effect can take place. More detailed illustrations of the combined use can be found in the specifications below.

The term "invertebrate pest" (also referred to as animal pests) as used herein encompasses an imal populations, such as insects, arachnids and nematodes, which may attack plants, thereby causing substantial damage to the plants attacked, as well as ectoparasites which may infest animals, in particular warm blooded animals such as e.g. mammals or birds, or other higher ani mals such as reptiles, amphibians or fish, thereby causing substantial damage to the animals infested.

In one embodiment, the invention relates to methods, in which the pesticide is applied by granular application.

In one embodiment, the invention relates to methods, in which the pesticide is applied by seedling box application.

In one embodiment, the invention relates to methods, in which the pesticide is applied by foliar application.

As used herein, the term "contacting" includes both direct contact (applying the

compounds/compositions directly on the animal pest or plant - typically to the foliage, stem or roots of the plant) and indirect contact (applying the compounds/compositions to the locus, i.e. habitat, breeding ground, plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which a pest is growing or may grow, of the animal pest or plant).

In the context of the present invention, the term“animal pest” includes arthropods, gastropods, and nematodes, which are pests, especially rice pests, especially rice pest invertebrates, especially rice pest insects as described above. Arthropods are preferably insects and arachnids, in particular insects. Insects, which are of particular relevance, are typically referred to as crop insect pests or rice pest insects.

The term "crop" refers to both, growing and harvested rice.

In the context of the present invention, the term“plant” means preferably rice plant (Oryza species, preferably Oryza sativa). Two species of rice are most frequently cultivated, Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima. Numerous subspecies of Oryza sativa are commercially important including Oryza sativa subsp. indica, Oryza sativa subsp. japonica, Oryza sativa subsp.

javanica, Oryza sativa subsp. glutinosa (glutinous rice), Oryza sativa Aromatica group (e.g., basmati), and Oryza sativa (Floating rice group). The term“plant” is to be understood as including wild type plants and plants, which have been modified by either conventional breeding, or mutagenesis or genetic engineering, or by a combination thereof.

Plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, and are of particular commercial importance, include rice. In plants, which have been modified by mutagenesis or genetic engineering, one or more genes have been mutagenized or integrated into the genetic material of the plant. The one or more mutagenized or integrated genes are preferably selected from pat, epsps, crylAb, bar, cry1 Fa2, crylAc, cry34Ab1 , cry35AB1 , cry3A, cryF, cry1 F, mcry3a, cry2Ab2, cry3Bb1 , cry1A.105, dfr, barnase, vip3Aa20, barstar, als, bxn, bp40, asn1 , and ppo5. The mutagenesis or integration of the one or more genes is performed in order to improve certain properties of the plant. Such properties, also known as traits, include abiotic stress tolerance, altered growth/yield, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance, insect resistance, modified product quality, and pollination control. Of these properties, herbicide tolerance, e.g. imidazolinone tolerance, glyphosate tolerance, or glufosinate tolerance, is of particular importance.

It has surprisingly been found that the pesticidal activity of the mixtures of the present invention may be enhanced by the insecticidal trait of a modified plant. Furthermore, it has been found that the mixtures of the present invention are suitable for preventing insects to become resistant to the insecticidal trait or for combating pests, which already have become resistant to the insecticidal trait of a modified plant. Moreover, the mixtures of the present invention are suitable for combating pests, against which the insecticidal trait is not effective, so that a complementary insecticidal activity can advantageously be used.

The term "plant propagation material" refers to all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds, sprouted seeds, seedlings and ratooning. Seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil, may also be included. These plant propagation materials may be treated prophylactically with a plant protection compound either at or before planting or transplanting.

The term“seed” embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corms, fruit, grains, cuttings, cut shoots and the like, and means in a preferred embodiment true seeds.

In general, "pesticidally effective amount" means the amount of active ingredient needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention, and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism. The pesticidally effective amount can vary for the various

compounds/compositions used in the invention. A pesticidally effective amount of the compositions will also vary according to the prevailing conditions such as desired pesticidal effect and duration, weather, target species, locus, mode of application, and the like.

In the case of soil treatment, in furrow application or of application to the pests dwelling place or nest, the quantity of active ingredient ranges from 0.0001 to 500 g per 100 m ² , preferably from 0.001 to 20 g per 100 m ² .

For use in treating rice plants, e.g. by foliar application, the rate of application of the active ingredients of this invention may be in the range of 0.0001 g to 4000 g per hectare, e.g. from 1 g to 2 kg per hectare or from 1 g to 750 g per hectare, desirably from 1 g to 100 g per hectare, more desirably from 10 g to 50 g per hectare, e.g., 10 to 20 g per hectare, 20 to 30 g per hectare, 30 to 40 g per hectare, or 40 to 50 g per hectare.

The mixtures of the present invention are particularly suitable for use in the treatment of seeds in order to protect the seeds from insect pests, in particular from soil-living insect pests, and the resulting seedling’s roots and shoots against soil pests and foliar insects. The present invention therefore also relates to a method for the protection of seeds from insects, in particular from soil insects, and of the seedling's roots and shoots from insects, in particular from soil and foliar insects, said method comprising treating the seeds before sowing and/or after pregermination with a compound of the present invention. The protection of the seedling's roots and shoots is preferred. More preferred is the protection of seedling’s shoots from piercing and sucking insects, chewing insects and nematodes.

The term“seed treatment” comprises all suitable seed treatment techniques known in the art, such as seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking, seed pelleting, and in-furrow application methods. Preferably, the seed treatment application of the active compound is carried out by spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing of the plants and before emergence of the plants. The present invention also comprises seeds coated with or containing the active compound.

The term "coated with and/or containing" generally signifies that the active ingredient is for the most part on the surface of the propagation product at the time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate into the propagation product, depending on the method of application. When the said propagation product is (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient.

In the context of the present invention, the seed is seed of rice. The active compounds of the invention may also be used for the treatment of seeds from plants, which have been modified by mutagenisis or genetic engineering, and which e.g. tolerate the action of herbicides or fungicides or insecticides. Such modified plants have been described in detail above.

Conventional seed treatment formulations include for example flowable concentrates FS, solutions LS, suspoemulsions (SE), powders for dry treatment DS, water dispersible powders for slurry treatment WS, water-soluble powders SS and emulsion ES and EC and gel formulation GF. These formulations can be applied to the seed diluted or undiluted. Application to the seeds is carried out before sowing, either directly on the seeds or after having

pregerminated the latter. Preferably, the formulations are applied such that germination is not included.

The active substance concentrations in ready-to-use formulations, which may be obtained after two-to-tenfold dilution, are preferably from 0.01 to 60% by weight, more preferably from 0.1 to 40 % by weight.

In a preferred embodiment a FS formulation is used for seed treatment. Typically, a FS formulation may comprise 1 -800 g/l of active ingredient, 1 -200 g/l Surfactant, 0 to 200 g/l antifreezing agent, 0 to 400 g/l of binder, 0 to 200 g/l of a pigment and up to 1 liter of a solvent, preferably water.

Especially preferred FS formulations of the mixtures of the present invention for seed treatment usually comprise from 0.1 to 80% by weight (1 to 800 g/l) of the active ingredient, from 0.1 to 20 % by weight (1 to 200 g/l) of at least one surfactant, e.g. 0.05 to 5 % by weight of a wetter and from 0.5 to 15 % by weight of a dispersing agent, up to 20 % by weight, e.g. from 5 to 20 % of an anti-freeze agent, from 0 to 15 % by weight, e.g. 1 to 15 % by weight of a pigment and/or a dye, from 0 to 40 % by weight, e.g. 1 to 40 % by weight of a binder (sticker /adhesion agent), optionally up to 5 % by weight, e.g. from 0.1 to 5 % by weight of a thickener, optionally from 0.1 to 2 % of an anti-foam agent, and optionally a preservative such as a biocide, antioxidant or the like, e.g. in an amount from 0.01 to 1 % by weight and a filler/vehicle up to 100 % by weight.

In the treatment of seed, the application rates of the compounds of the invention are generally from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed, preferably from 1 g to 5 kg per 100 kg of seed, more preferably from 1 g to 1000 g per 100 kg of seed and in particular from 1 g to 200 g per 100 kg of seed, e.g. from 1 g to 100 g or from 5 g to 100 g per 100 kg of seed.

The invention therefore also relates to seed comprising a compound of the present invention, or an agriculturally useful salt thereof, as defined herein. The amount of the compound of the present invention or the agriculturally useful salt thereof will in general vary from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed, preferably from 1 g to 5 kg per 100 kg of seed, in particular from 1 g to 1000 g per 100 kg of seed. In the present invention, the mixtures of the present invention may also be used for improving the health of a plant. Therefore, the present invention also relates to a method for improving plant health by treating a rice plant, rice plant propagation material and/or the locus where the rice plant is growing or is to grow with an effective and non-phytotoxic amount of a compound of the present invention.

As used herein“an effective and non-phytotoxic amount” means that the compound is used in a quantity which allows to obtain the desired effect but which does not give rise to any phytotoxic symptom on the treated plant or on the plant grown from the treated propagule or treated soil. The terms“plant” and“plant propagation material” are defined above.

"Plant health" is defined as a condition of the plant and/or its products which is determined by several aspects alone or in combination with each other such as yield (for example increased biomass and/or increased content of valuable ingredients), quality (for example improved content or composition of certain ingredients or shelf life), plant vigour (for example improved plant growth and/or greener leaves (“greening effect”), tolerance to abiotic (for example drought) and/or biotic stress (for example disease) and production efficiency (for example, harvesting efficiency, processability).

The above identified indicators for the health condition of a plant may be interdependent and may result from each other. Each indicator is defined in the art and can be determined by methods known to a skilled person.

Examples

The compounds benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl are described in the Pesticide Manual and are either commercially available, or their synthesis is known.

Biological tests

Synergism can be described as an interaction where the combined effect of two or more compounds is greater than the sum of the individual effects of each of the compounds (zero- interaction). To quantify the degree of drug synergy, several models have been proposed, such as those based on the Highest single agent model (HAS, or Gaddum additivity) (Berenbaum, 1989), the Loewe additivity model (Loewe, 1953) and the Bliss independence model (Bliss, 1939).

In the present case, the two mixing partners are acting mutually non-exclusively active, i.e. the Bliss independence model seems to be most appropriate to describe the zero-interaction effect (Greco et al., 1992), where yBLISS is the expected effect based on the single effects of compound y1 and y2, respectively (1 ). yBLISS = y1 + y2 - y1y2 1

A reference model is used, particularly useful for the analysis of matrix data from plate-based high throughput experiments (Yadav et al., 2015). The model is named zero interaction potency (ZIP), which overcomes many of the limitations of the existing models and is based on independent dose-response curves for each of the two mixing partners. By combining the advantages of both the Loewe and Bliss models, the ZIP model assumes that two non- interacting drugs are expected to incur minimal changes in their dose-response curves. In the ZIP model (Yadav et al., 2015, Formula 16) the zero-interaction situation (yZIP) is defined following formula (2), where X1 and X2 are the doses of compound 1 and 2, ml and m2 are the doses that produces the midpoint effect also known as relative EC50 or IC50 of compound 1 and 2 and A1 and L2 (l > 0) are the shape parameters indicating the sigmoid property or slope of the curves for compound 1 and 2.

An average delta score is calculated from the expectation of ZIP (d) and observed values, for each dose combination in the matrix. This allows for a surface plot of delta scores, to visualize the interaction landscape for a drug combination, aiming to identify synergistic and antagonistic dose regions for further dose optimization in a validation screen. The delta score have a unit of percentage inhibition and are directly comparable within and between drug combinations.

Finally, the average of all dose combination delta scores in the matrix can be calculated. The average score in percent, is called“ZIP synergy score” for the ZIP model or“Bliss synergy score” for the Bliss model.

An R-script called“syngergyfinder” based on the model above was published by

Fie, L. et al. (2018). It can be also downloaded from Bioconductor.org:

The following tests demonstrate the control efficacy of compounds, mixtures or compositions of this invention on specific pests. Flowever, the pest control protection afforded by the

compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to these species. In certain instances, combinations of a compound of this invention with other invertebrate pest control compounds or agents are found to exhibit synergistic effects against certain important invertebrate pests.

The mixtures tested comprise the two components benzpyrimoxan and oxazosulfyl, which belong to two different modes of action (I RAC classes).

Test 1 : Tobacco budworm ( Heliothis virescens)

For evaluating control of tobacco budworm {Heliothis virescens) the test unit consisted of 96- well-microtiter plates containing an insect diet and 15-25 H. virescens eggs.

The compounds or mixtures were formulated using a solution containing 75% water and 25% DMSO. Different concentrations of formulated compounds or mixtures were sprayed onto the insect diet at 10pl, using a custom-built micro atomizer.

For experimental mixtures in these tests, identical volumes of both mixing partners at the desired concentrations respectively, were mixed together. Mixture applications were replicated 4 times into 4 separate microtiter plates.

After application, microtiter plates were incubated at 28 + 1 °C, 80 + 5 % RFH for 5 days. Both, egg and larval mortality was then visually assessed and given a score (0, 50, or 100% control effect).

For evaluating control of Greenhouse Whitefly ( Trialeurodes vaporariorum) the test unit con sisted of 96-well-microtiter plates containing a leaf disk of egg plant leaf disk with white fly eggs. The compounds or mixtures were formulated using a solution containing 75% water and 25% DMSO. Different concentrations of formulated compounds or mixtures were sprayed onto the insect diet at 2.5mI, using a custom-built micro atomizer. For experimental mixtures in these tests, identical volumes of both mixing partners at the desired concentrations respectively, were mixed together. Mixture applications were replicated 4 times into 4 separate microtiter plates. For experimental mixtures in these tests, identical volumes of both mixing partners at the de sired concentrations respectively, were mixed together.

After application, microtiter plates were incubated at 23 + 1 °C, 65 + 5 % RH for 6 days. Mortality of hatched crawlers was then visually assessed and given a score (0, 50, or 100% control ef fect).
