Such variations or modifications are well within the spirit of this invention.

[0111] The expression of various quantities in terms of “% w / w” or “%” means the percentage by weight, relative to the weight of the total solution or composition unless otherwise specified.

[0112] The term “active ingredient” (a.i.) or “active agent” or “active” used herein refers to that component of the composition responsible for control of various insects-pests and fungal diseases at the same time.

[0113] The term “crop” shall include a multitude of desired crop plants or an individual crop plant growing at a locus.

[0114] The term “synergistic”, as used herein, refers to the combined action of two or more active agents blended together and administered conjointly that is greater than the sum of their individual effects.

[0115] “Bioactive amounts” as mentioned herein means that amount which, when applied for treatment of crops, is sufficient to give effect in such treatment.

[0116] The term “control” means to inhibit the ability of insect pests to survive, grow, feed and / or reproduce, or to limit the insect pests’ related damage or loss in crop plants. To “control” insect pests may or may not mean killing the insects although, it preferably means killing the insect pests.

[0117] The term “health of a plant” or “plant health” is defined as a condition of the plant and / or its products. As a result of the improved health; yield, plant vigour, quality and tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress is increased. As a result, the health of a plant is increased even in the absence of pest pressure.

[0118] Accordingly, in an especially preferred embodiment according to the invention, the health of a plant is increased both in the presence and absence of biotic or abiotic stress factors. An increase in plant vigor may for example result in an increased yield and / or tolerance to abiotic or biotic stress.

[0119] One indicator for the condition of the plant is the yield. “Yield” is to be understood as any plant product of economic value that is produced by the plant such as grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, seeds, wood (e.g., in the case of silviculture plants) or even flowers (e.g., in the case of gardening plants, ornamentals). The plant products may in addition be further utilized and / or processed after harvesting.In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the yield of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.

[0122] In an especially preferred embodiment of the invention, the quality of the treated plant is increased.

[0123] In another preferred embodiment of the invention, the quality of the plants treated according to the method of the invention, is increased synergistically.

[0124] The term rain fastness refers to the ability of a substance to remain effective after being applied to a surface and then exposed to rainfall or irrigation. In other words, it measures how well the substance adheres to the target surface and resists being washed away by water. A low rain fastness indicates that it may be washed off or diluted by rainfall, reducing its efficacy.

[0125] The term " Increased uptake of active ingredient" refers to the enhanced absorption or penetration of the active component of a substance into the target organism or plant. This increased uptake can lead to greater effectiveness of the product in controlling various insects-pests and wide range of fungal diseases at the same time.

[0245] In one embodiment, in the present invention compositions, additives such as urea clathrate, Siloxane Polyalkyleneoxide copolymer or organosilicone based powder adjuvant, tallow amine ethoxylate, ammonium sulphate, and epoxide soybean oil (ESO) serve distinct yet complementary functions, both individually and synergistically. Urea clathrate stabilizes volatile active ingredients by encapsulating them, thereby improving shelf life and enabling controlled release. Siloxane Polyalkyleneoxide copolymer or organosilicone based powder adjuvant, which are trisiloxane-based superspreaders, reduce surface tension significantly and enhance the spreading, wetting, and penetration of the formulation on plant surfaces, improving bioavailability. Tallow amine ethoxylate, a non-ionic surfactant, aids in emulsification and acts as a strong adjuvant, enhancing the uptake of systemic active ingredients. Ammonium sulphate is commonly used as a water conditioner to prevent antagonism from hard water ions like calcium and magnesium; it also enhances the absorption of pesticides. Epoxide soybean oil (ESO) contributes as a stabilizer and plasticizer, protecting active ingredients from UV and oxidative degradation while improving formulation compatibility.

[0246] In another embodiment, when used in combination in pesticidal composition, these additives enhance the overall efficacy, stability, and environmental safety of the agrochemical composition. For instance, the combined use of Siloxane Polyalkyleneoxide copolymer and ammonium sulphate can significantly boost pesticide performance, while ESO and urea clathrate together offer enhanced protection and sustained release of active ingredients. Thus, their synergistic interaction leads to improved performance and consistency under varying environmental and application conditions.In one embodiment, additives such as urea clathrate, Siloxane Polyalkyleneoxide Copolymer or organosilicone-based powder adjuvant, tallow amine ethoxylate, ammonium sulphate, and epoxide soybean oil either alone or in combination thereof, present in the range of 0.01 - 20% by weight of the composition.

[0369] FORMULATION PROCESS

[0370] 1. Compound of formula I technical, Imidacloprid technical, and Compound of formula II technical are dried, if required, and micronized separately to obtain a fine particle size, preferably D90 < 10 pm, to ensure rapid dissolution and uniform dispersion. All water-soluble excipients such as lactose, dispersants, and binder are sieved to remove lumps.

[0371] 2. Compound of formula I technical, Imidacloprid technical, and Compound of formula II technical are charged into a ribbon blender or high-speed mixer and blended until a homogeneous active premix is obtained. This step ensures uniform distribution of the low-dose actives, particularly Compound of formula II and Imidacloprid.

[0372] 3. Sodium lignosulfonate and sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate are added gradually to the active premix, followed by the non-ionic polyalkoxy ether wetting agent. The mixture is blended thoroughly to allow proper surface coating of active particles, which facilitates fast wetting and dispersion upon dilution in water.

[0373] 4. The water-soluble carrier (lactose) is added slowly to the blend under continuous mixing. This step dilutes the actives uniformly and imparts the required bulk density and solubility characteristics to the formulation.

[0374] 5. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is incorporated as a binder to improve powder cohesiveness and enhance adhesion of the formulation on the seed surface after dilution. Seed-treatment-grade red dye is then added and mixed until uniform coloration is achieved.

[0375] 6. Precipitated silica is added at the final stage of blending to improve flowability, reduce caking, and minimize dust formation during handling and packaging.7. The entire mixture is blended for an additional specified duration to ensure complete homogeneity.

[0376] 8. The finished WS formulation is packed in moisture-proof, multi-layered containers under controlled humidity conditions to prevent caking and degradation.

[0516] FORMULATION PROCESS

[0517] 1. Compound of formula I technical, Clothianidin technical, and Compound of formula II technical are dried, if required, and micronized separately to obtain a fine particle size, preferably D90 < 10 pm, to ensure rapid dissolution and uniform dispersion. All water-soluble excipients such as lactose, dispersants, and binder are sieved to remove lumps.

[0518] 2. Compound of formula I technical, Clothianidin technical, and Compound of formula II technical are charged into a ribbon blender or high-speed mixer and blended until a homogeneous active premix is obtained. This step ensures uniform distribution of the low-dose actives, particularly Compound of formula II and Clothianidin

[0519] 3. Sodium lignosulfonate and Sodium Isopropyl Naphthalene Sulfonate are added gradually to the active premix, followed by the non-ionic polyalkoxy ether wetting agent. The mixture is blended thoroughly to allow proper surface coating of active particles, which facilitates fast wetting and dispersion upon dilution in water.

[0520] 4. The water-soluble carrier (lactose) is added slowly to the blend under continuous mixing. This step dilutes the actives uniformly and imparts the required bulk density and solubility characteristics to the formulation.5. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is incorporated as a binder to improve powder cohesiveness and enhance adhesion of the formulation on the seed surface after dilution. Seed-treatment-grade red dye is then added and mixed until uniform coloration is achieved.

[0521] 6. Precipitated silica is added at the final stage of blending to improve flowability, reduce caking, and minimize dust formation during handling and packaging.

[0522] 7. The entire mixture is blended for an additional specified duration to ensure complete homogeneity.

[0523] 8. The finished WS formulation is packed in moisture-proof, multi-layered containers under controlled humidity conditions to prevent caking and degradation.

[0600] A synergistic effect of two or more products exists whenever the action of an active ingredient combination is greater than the sum of the actions of the individual components. Synergism was calculated by using Colby’s method (Weeds, vol. 15 No. 1 (Jan 1967), pp. 20-2).

[0601] The synergistic action expected for a given combination of two active components can be calculated as follows:

[0602] XY

[0603] E = (X + Y) - 100

[0604] The synergistic action expected for a given combination of three active components can be calculated as follows:

[0605] (XY+YZ+XZ) (XYZ)

[0606] E = (X + Y + Z) - + - 100 10000

[0607] Where:

[0608] E represents expected percentage of pesticidal control for the combination of the two or three active ingredients at defined doses (for example equal to x, y and z, respectively).

[0609] X is the percentage of pesticidal control observed by the compound (Compound of formula I) at a defined dose (equal to x).

[0610] Y is the percentage of pesticidal control observed by the compound (Compound of formula II) at a defined dose (equal to y).

[0611] Z is the percentage of pesticidal control observed by the compound (Imidacloprid) at a defined dose (equal to z).

[0612] When the percentage of pesticidal control observed for the combination is greater than the expected percentage, there is a synergism effect.

[0613] Observed control (%)

[0614] Ratio = - Expected control (%)

[0615] Ratio of O / E > 1, synergism observed

[0616] The present invention is illustrated by way of examples, the examples are meant for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting.

[0618] Field experiment for synergistic activity of Compound of formula I + Compound of formula II + Imidacloprid for the control of termites and collar rot in groundnut was conducted.

[0619] To evaluate the synergistic effect, groundnut [Variety: GG-7] crop was sown in 5 m x 5 m plots maintaining 30 cm x 15 cm plant distance with three replications and in Randomized Block Design (RBD). The treatments were applied as seed treatment in the form of FS formulation @ 8 ml (per kg of seed). Each active component was applied twice in different ternary and binary compositions. Solo compositions were also taken for comparison. The treatment details are as under:

[0648] T29 -

[0649] The treatments T1 to T28 were used as seed treatment whereas no treatment was done for T29 control treatment. Seed treatment was done few hours before sowing to protect seeds from collar rot and termites. In groundnut, observations on collar rot (causal organism: Aspergillus niger) and termites (Odontotermes sp.) are recorded at 30 days after sowing (DAS) to assess early and slightly later effects on seedlings. Seedlings are carefully examined for symptoms of collar rot, such as wilting, yellowing, constriction, and rotting at the collar region, and the number of affected seedlings is counted to calculate disease incidence (%). Observations are taken by randomly selecting plants from each plot and recording the number of plants damaged or killed by termites. Termite damage is identified by wilting, drying of plants, hollowed stems, or damaged pods. Observations are recorded 30 days after sowing (DAS). The percent plant damage is calculated for each treatment and compared with the untreated control. All affected plants, dead seedlings, and symptomatic observations are recorded for each treatment and replication. Data on disease and pest incidence are compared with untreated control plots.

[0669] It is clearly evident from the data shown in above Table 1A for per cent insect and disease control in groundnut that the ternary pesticidal composition of the present invention comprising Compound of formula I + Compound of formula II + Imidacloprid i.e., T1 to T4 are synergistic for pest population with > 1 Colby’s Ratio. The binary composition of two fungicide / insecticide (Compound of formula I + Compound of formula II, Compound of formula I + Imidacloprid and Compound of formula II + Imidacloprid) T5 to T 16 is compatible but no synergistic effect was observed for the control of insect damage and collar rot disease, as compared to synergistic pesticidal composition comprising Compound of formula I + Compound of formula II + Imidacloprid T1 to T4.

[0701] Methodology:

[0702] The treatments T1 to T21 were used as seed treatment whereas no treatment was done for T20 control treatment. Seed treatment was done before sowing to protect seeds from collar rot and termites.

[0703] In groundnut, observations on collar rot (causal organism: Aspergillus niger) and termites (Odontotermes sp.) are recorded at 30 days after sowing (DAS) to assess early and slightly later effects on seedlings. Seedlings are carefully examined for symptoms of collar rot, such as wilting, yellowing, constriction, and rotting at the collar region, and the number of affected seedlings is counted to calculate disease incidence (%). Observations are taken by randomly selecting plants from each plot and recording the number of plants damaged or killed by termites. Termite damage is identified by wilting, drying of plants, hollowed stems, or damaged pods. Observations are usually recorded at 30 days after sowing (DAS). The percent plant damage is calculated for each treatment and compared with the untreated control. All affected plants, dead seedlings, and symptomatic observations are recorded for each treatment and replication. Data on disease and pest incidence are compared with untreated control plots. Data on disease and pest incidence are compared with untreated control plots. The crop yield was recorded at crop harvest. The observations for phytotoxicity on groundnut at 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days after sowing were also recorded. The data were subjected to statistical analysis of variance. Results are presented in Table 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D.

[0828] From the example, it is clearly seen that the composition of the present invention is superior for controlling the Odontotermes sp. (termites) and collar rot (causal organism- Aspergillus niger) in groundnut after 30 days of sowing (Table 2A and 2B) in groundnut crop as compared to the other pesticides such as Compound of formula I 37.5% + Thiram 37.5% WS, Compound of formula II 75% WP and Imidacloprid 48 % FS available in the market. The yield of groundnut also improved in the ternary stable synergistic composition of the present invention comprising Compound of formula I 28% + Compound of formula II 10% + Imidacloprid 4.4% FS as compared to binary and solo compositions (Table 2C).

[0829] The disclosed synergistic pesticidal composition Compound of formula I 28% + Compound of formula II 10% + Imidacloprid 4.4% FS @ 6, 8, 10 and 16 ml (per kg seed) further showed no phytotoxicity in the groundnut even after 1, 3, 7, 10 and 14 days after sowing (Table 2D).

[0830] It is evident from the above data that the composition of the present invention i.e., Compound of formula I 28% + Compound of formula II 10% + Imidacloprid 4.4% FS resulted in good control of Odontotermes sp. (termites) and collar rot (causal organism- Aspergillus niger) in groundnut with higher respective yields as compared to the reference standard products (binary compositions and solo products). Further, the composition of present invention is resulted synergistic.

[0831] Evaluation of synergistic effect of herbicidal composition of the present invention

[0832] A synergistic effect of two or more products exists whenever the action of an active ingredient combination is greater than the sum of the actions of the individual components. Synergism was calculated by using Colby’s method (Weeds, vol. 15 No. 1 (Jan 1967), pp. 20-2.

[0833] The synergistic action expected for a given combination of two active components can be calculated as follows:

[0834] XY

[0835] E = (X + Y) - 100

[0836] The synergistic action expected for a given combination of three active components can be calculated as follows:

[0837] (XY+YZ+XZ) (XYZ)

[0838] E = (X + Y + Z) - + -100 10000

[0839] Where:

[0840] E represents expected percentage of herbicidal control for the combination of the two or three actives ingredients at defined doses (for example equal to x, y and z, respectively).

[0841] X is the percentage of herbicidal control observed by the compound (Compound of formula I ) at a defined dose (equal to x).

[0842] Y is the percentage of herbicidal control observed by the compound (Compound of formula II) at a defined dose (equal to y).

[0843] Z is the percentage of herbicidal control observed by the compound (Clothianidin) at a defined dose (equal to z).

[0844] When the percentage of herbicidal control observed for the combination is greater than the expected percentage, there is a synergism effect.

[0845] Observed control (%)

[0846] Ratio = - Expected control (%)

[0847] Ratio of O / E > 1, synergism observed

[0848] The present invention is illustrated by way of examples, the examples are meant for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting.

[0955] Methodology:

[0956] Treatments T1 to T19 were applied as seed treatment, while T20 untreated control.

[0957] Observations were recorded for seed germination percent, plant height and pod yield in the experimental field. Seed germination percent and plant height was observed at 30 days after sowing (DAS). The percentseed germination was calculated based on number of seeds germinated. Seed germination was assessed at 30 DAS by counting the total number of emerged seedlings in each plot. The total number of seeds sown per plot was recorded at the time of sowing. Germination percentage was calculated using the formula:

[0958] Number of emerged seedlings x 100

[0959] Germination (%) = Number of seeds sown

[0960] Observations were recorded from the entire plot area for each treatment. The germination percentage was used to assess the effect of seed treatment on crop establishment.

[0961] Plant height was recorded at 30 days after sowing (DAS) by measuring the distance from the soil surface to the tip of the apical growing point of the plant. Observations were taken using a measuring scale. For each treatment, five healthy plants were randomly selected from the net plot area, avoiding border rows. Plants were held in a natural upright position during measurement without stretching. The height of each selected plant was recorded in centimeters (cm). The mean plant height for each treatment was calculated and used for statistical analysis. All recorded data were subjected to analysis of variance (ANOVA), and the results are presented in Tables 3 A, 3B and 3D.

[1120] From the example, it is clearly seen that the synergistic pesticidal composition of the present invention is superior for change in agronomic characters after application (Table 3 A) in Groundnut crop as compared to the solo and binary compositions applied at the same dosage. Other registered formulated products available in the market, Compound of formula I 37.5%+ Thiram37.5% WS, Compound of formula II 75% WP and Pyraclostrobin 3.5% + Thiram 15.0% + Clothianidin 22.5% FS evaluated were also less effective in comparision to the synergistic pesticidal composition of the present invention. The yield of Groundnut crop also improved in the ternary composition of the present invention comprising Compound of formula I 22.5% + Compound of formula II 8.5% + Clothianidin 15% FS as compared to binary, solo and other registered products in the market (Table 3B). The disclosed composition Compound of formula I 22.5% + Compound of formula II 8.5% + Clothianidin 15% @ 7.5, 10, 12.5 & 20 ml / kg seed showed no phytotoxicity in the Groundnut crop even after 30 days of crop sowing (Table 3C).It is evident from the above tables of examples that the composition of the present invention Compound of formula I 22.5% + Compound of formula II 8.5% + Clothianidin 15% FS resulted in good per cent increase in of overall agronomic characters in Groundnut with higher respective yields as compared to the reference standard products (binary compositions and solo products). Further, the composition of present invention is resulted synergistic.

[1121] Through the pesticidal composition of present invention, the number of applications to control wide range of pests appearing at the same time is minimised. The composition of present invention is highly safe to the user and to the environment. The composition offers the user a single homogenous application eliminating the need for tank mix. The composition also is cost-effective as it provides much greater simultaneous control and can be used in a variety of crops with a broader spectrum of protection.

[1122] In particular, it has now been found, surprisingly that, for example, the pesticidal activity of the composition of present invention, compared with the pesticidal activity of individual components, is synergistic. In fact, various advantageous properties associated with the compositions according to the invention, include but are not limited to: knock down effect on pests at all developmental stages of pests such as egg, nymph, larva, pupa, and adult, preventing discoloration of leaves of plants and crops, enhanced tenderness to plants and crops, preventing ageing of plants and crops and other advantages familiar to a person skilled in the art.

[1123] From the above investigations, it will be observed that numerous modifications and variations can be effectuated without departing from the true spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention. It is to be understood that no limitations with respect to the specific embodiments illustrated is intended or should be inferred. It should be understood that all such modifications and improvements have been deleted herein for the sake of conciseness and readability but are properly within the scope of the following claims.
