Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an insecticidal composition containing a pyrazole compound represented by formula (I) and its use for controlling animal pests. The present application also relates to a method of preventing and / or treating infestation of pests in plants, plant propagation material and / or the surrounding environment by said insecticidal composition. BACKGROUND

[0002] A pyrazole compound represented by the following formula (I) is described in patent document WO2012 / 143317A1 and it is stated that it shows excellent effects against various harmful organisms, in particular, against cowpea aphids, cotton aphids, cotton whiteflies, rice planthoppers, thrips, diamondback moth, etc. The activity of this substance is very good, but there are still deficiencies at low application rates.

[0003]

[0004] Chemical control is an important way to prevent or control pests in agriculture. However, more and more pests of crops, fruits, vegetables, etc. have been reported to develop resistance in the world. Although the alternation of insecticides with different modes of action can be used in good pest management practices, this method does not always achieve satisfactory pest control effects.

[0005] In order to reduce or avoid adverse environmental or toxicological effects caused by the application of insecticides, the present application aims to provide an insecticidal composition containing a pyrazole compound of formula (I) which can provide effective pest control effects at a reduced dosage rate of the active ingredient. SUMMARY

[0069] Biological test:

[0070] Test Example 1 Test on thrips

[0071] Test object: 2nd instar nymphs of cucumber yellow thrips, the test thrips were collected from the population on cucumber in Dongfang farm, Xinzhen, Zhou city, Kunshan, Jiangsu.

[0072] Test agent: the components (A) and (B) were formulated into a mother liquor with acetone, and then diluted to the required concentration with 0.1% Tween-80 aqueous solution.

[0073] Fresh and tender cowpea pods were cut into pieces with a length of about 2 cm (the two ends of the pod were flat, and no bean holes were left to facilitate the result investigation), and immersed in the pesticide solution for 15 s, with water (containing solvent and Tween) as the control. The treated fruit pods were placed on absorbent paper to dry naturally, and then placed in a centrifuge tube with a pair of tweezers, with 1 pod per tube.

[0074] The worms were sucked into a self-made sucking device, and then the test worms were ejected into the pesticide tube, with 20 worms per tube. All the treatments were placed in a 25°C, 12H / 12H light incubator for culture, and the number of live worms was investigated after 72 h, and the worm reduction rate and control effect were calculated. Each treatment was repeated 4 times.

[0075] Calculation method:

[0076] Worm reduction rate (%) = (number of live worms before treatment - number of live worms after treatment) / number of live worms before treatment x 100

[0077] Control effect % = ((treatment group worm reduction rate - control group worm reduction rate) / (100 - control group worm reduction rate)) x 100

[0078] Table 1 Control effect of the combination of the compound represented by formula I and component (B) on thrips

[0079]

[0080] Test Example 2 Activity on wheat two-spotted aphids

[0081] The active components were applied as dry seed dressing. They were prepared by mixing the individual active compounds or combinations of active compounds with finely ground mineral material to give a fine powdery composition which is uniformly distributed on the seed surface.

[0082] When the seeds were dressed, each agent was adjusted to a slurry according to the designed dose, then the seeds and the pesticide solution were shaken in a closed glass flask for 3 minutes, after the seeds were evenly coated with the pesticide, they were poured out and spread in a well-ventilated place, and then sowed after drying.

[0083] The test soil and sand were from the same source and were not treated with any pesticides. 60 seeds of wheat were planted for each treatment, 3 replicates, 20 seeds for each replicate. All the treated pots were placed in a controlled sunlight greenhouse at 15°C. The growth of the crops was observed. After emergence, 15 plants of wheat were planted for each pot. 10 aphids were introduced for each pot on the 7th day after emergence. 5 days after the introduction of the aphids, the number of live aphids was counted and the reduction rate of aphid population and the control effect were calculated.

[0084] Calculation method:

[0085] Reduction rate of aphid population (%) = (number of live aphids before treatment - number of live aphids after treatment) / number of live aphids before treatment x 100

[0086] Control effect (%) = ((reduction rate of aphid population of the treatment group - reduction rate of aphid population of the control group) / (100 - reduction rate of aphid population of the control group)) x 100
