Abstract

Disclosed are mixtures and compositions for controlling invertebrate pests relating to combinations comprising (a) 3-bromo-N-[4-chloro-2-methyl-6-[(methylamino)carbonyl]phenyl]-1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide, and its N-oxides, and suitable salts thereof and a component (b) wherein the component (b) is at least one compound or agent selected from neonicotinoids, cholinesterase inhibitors, sodium channel modulators, chitin synthesis inhibitors, ecdysone agonists, lipid biosynthesis inhibitors, macrocyclic lactones, GABA-regulated chloride channel blockers, juvenile hormone mimics, ryanodine receptor ligands, octopamine receptor ligands, mitochondrial electron transport inhibitors, nereistoxin analogs, pyridalyl, flonicamid, pymetrozine, dieldrin, metaflumizone, biological agents, and suitable salts of the foregoing. Also disclosed are methods for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a mixture or composition of the invention.

3. The mixture of claim 1 wherein the component (b) is a compound selected from (b2) cholinesterase inhibitors.

4. The mixture of claim 1 wherein the component (b) is a compound selected from (b3) sodium channel modulators.

5. The mixture of claim 1 wherein the component (b) is selected from the group consisting of dinotefuran, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, methomyl, oxamyl, deltamethrin, indoxacarb, lambda-cyhalothrin, hexaflumuron, novaluron, abamectin, spinosad, fipronil, fenoxycarb, methoprene, amitraz, chlofenapyr, hydramethylnon, pyridaben, cartap, flonicamid, pymetrozine and dieldrin.

6. The mixture of claim 1 wherein the component (b) comprises at least one invertebrate pest control agent selected from each of two different groups consisting of (b1), (b2), (b3), (b4), (b5), (b6), (b7), (b8), (b9), (b10), (b11), (b12), (b13), (b14), (b15), (b16), (b17), (b18) and (b19).

7. A composition for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising a biologically effective amount of the mixture of any one of claims 1 to 6 and at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of a surfactant, a solid diluent and a liquid diluent, said composition optionally further comprising an effective amount of at least one additional biologically active compound or agent.

1 to 1;

50.

9. The composition of claim 7 wherein the component (b) is a compound selected from (b2) cholinesterase inhibitors and the weight ratio of the component (b) to the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide, or salt thereof, is from 150:

1 to 1;

10. The composition of claim 7 wherein the component (b) is a compound selected from (b3) sodium channel modulators and the weight ratio of the component (b) to the compound of Formula 1, an N-oxide, or salt thereof, is from 50:

1 to 1;

5.

11. The composition of claim 7 in the form of a soil drench liquid formulation.

12. A method for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of the mixture of any one of claims 1 to 6.
