Abstract

The invention relates to insecticidal and acaricidal compositions, containing, as the active ingredient, a combination based on N,N,4-trimethyl-2-(pyrid-3-yl)-thiazole-5-carboxamide (compound A) and on a pyrethroid (compound B) of the formula: ##STR1## in which X represents a hydrogen atom or the cyano radical. These compositions can be used for the protective treatment of plants, in particular cotton plants.

Claims

1. An insecticidal composition effective against aleurodes comprising a combination of N,N,4-trimethyl-2-(pyrid-3-yl)-thiazole-5-carboxamide and cypermethrin, said cypermethrin being present in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to about 1 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of said combination.

2. A composition according to claim 1, which comprises from 0.001% to 95% by weight of the insecticidal combination and at least one of an inert carrier and a surface active agent.

3. A composition of matter according to claim 1 further including an insecticidally acceptable carrier thereof.

4. A process for the protective treatment of plants to combat aleurode pests which comprises applying to said plants, an insecticidally effective amount of a composition according to claim 1.

5. A process according to claim 4 wherein the N,N,4-trimethyl-2-pyrid-3-yl)-thiazole-5-carboxamide component of the composition is applied at a rate of about 50 g/ha to about 1000 g/ha.
