Abstract

A method for controlling pests of soybean plants comprises the step of contacting the soybean plant, parts of it, its propagation material, the pests, their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with one or more components of the ginkgo tree selected from the group consisting of bilobalide, ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide J and ginkgolide M.

Claims

1-13. -13. (canceled)

14. A method for controlling pests of soybean plants, comprising contacting the soybean plant, parts of it, its propagation material, the pests, their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with one or more components of the ginkgo tree selected from the group consisting of bilobalide, ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide J and ginkgolide M.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the pests are from the family of Pentatomidae.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the pests are Acrosternum spp., Euschistus spp., Nezara spp. and/or Piezodrus spp.

17. The method of claim 15, wherein the pests are Acrosternum hilare, Euschistus heros, Nezara viridula and/or Piezodrus guildini.

18. The method of claim 14, wherein the component or components of the ginkgo tree are applied in an amount of from 1 to 500 g/ha.

19. The method of claim 14, wherein the components of the ginkgo tree are applied by foliar application.

20. The method of claim 14 for protecting plant propagation material.

21. A method for controlling pests from the family of Pentatomidae and/or Thripidae, comprising contacting the pests, their food supply, habitat and/or breeding ground with one or more components of the ginkgo tree selected from the group consisting of bilobalide, ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide J and ginkgolide M.

22. The method of claim 21, wherein the pests are Pentatomidae and are Acrosternum spp. such as Acrosternum hilare, Euschistus spp. such as Euschistus heros, Nezara spp. such as Nezara viridula and/or Piezodrus spp. such as Piezodrus guildini.

23. The method of claim 21, wherein the component or components of the ginkgo tree are applied in an amount of from 1 to 500 g/ha.

24. The method of claim 21, wherein the component or components of the ginkgo tree are applied by foliar application.

25. The method of claim 21, wherein the components of the ginkgo tree are applied to genetically modified soybean plants.

26. The method of claim 21, wherein the components of the ginkgo tree are applied to soybean plants that have at least one toxin formed in the plant by genetic material of Bacillus thuringiensis.

27. The method of claim 21, wherein the components of the ginkgo tree are applied to soybean plants that have at least one gene selected from CryIA(a), CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIIA, CryIIIA, CryIIIB2, Cry9c, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CryIF, or a combination thereof.

28. The method of claim 21, wherein the pests are from the family of Pentatomidae.

29. The method of claim 28, wherein the pests are Acrosternum spp., Euschistus spp., Nezara spp. and/or Piezodrus spp.

30. The method of claim 28, wherein the pests are Acrosternum hilare, Euschistus heros, Nezara viridula and/or Piezodrus guildini.

31. The method of claim 28, wherein the component or components of the ginkgo tree are applied in an amount of from 1 to 500 g/ha.

32. The method of claim 28, wherein the components of the ginkgo tree are applied by foliar application.
