Formulation/Utility

Compounds of this invention will generally be used in formulation with an agriculturally suitable carrier comprising a liquid or solid diluent. Useful formulations include dusts, granules, baits, pellets, solutions, suspensions, emulsions, wettable powders, emulsifiable concentrates, dry flowables and the like, consistent with the . physical properties of the active ingredient, mode of application and environmental factors such as soil type, moisture and temperature. Sprayable formulations can be extended in suitable media and used at spray volumes from about one to several hundred liters per hectare. High strength compositions are primarily used as intermediates for further formulation. The formulations will typically contain effective amounts of active ingredient, diluent and surfactant within the following approximate ranges which add up to 100 weight percent. Weight Percent

Typical solid diluents are described in Watkins, et al., Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers, 2nd Ed., Dorland Books, Caldwell, New Jersey. Typical liquid diluents and solvents are described in Marsden, Solvents Guide, 2nd Ed., Interscience, New York, (1950). McCutcheon's Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual, Allured Publ. Corp., Ridgewood, New Jersey, as well as Sisely and Wood, Encyclopedia of Surface Active Agents, Chemical Publ. Co., Inc., New York, (1964), list surfactants and recommended uses. All formulations can contain minor amounts of additives to reduce foam, caking, corrosion, microbiological growth, and the like.

Solutions are prepared by simply mixing the ingredients. Fine solid compositions are made by blending and, usually, grinding as in a hammer mill or fluid energy mill. Water-dispersible granules can be produced by agglomerating a fine powder composition; see for example, Cross et al., Pesticide Formulations, Washington, D.C., 1988, pp 251-259. Suspensions are prepared by wet-milling; see, for example, U.S. 3,060,084. Granules and pellets can be made by spraying the active material upon preformed granular carriers or by agglomeration techniques. See Browning,

"Agglomeration", Chemical Engineering, December 4, 1967, pp 147-148, Perry's Chemical Engineer's Handbook, 4th Ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1963, pages 8-57 and following, and WO 91/13546.

In certain instances, combinations with other arthropodicides having a similar spectrum of control but a different mode of action will be particularly advantageous for resistance management.

Arthropod pests are controlled and protection of agronomic, horticultural and specialty crops, animal and human health is achieved by applying one or more of the compounds of this invention, in an effective amount, to the environment of the pests including the agronomic and or nonagronomic locus of infestation, to the area to be protected, or directly on the pests to be controlled. Thus, the present invention further comprises a method for the control of foliar and soil inhabiting arthropods and nematode pests and protection of agronomic and/or nonagronomic crops, comprising applying one or more of the compounds of Formula I, or compositions containing at least one such compound, in an effective amount, to the environment of the pests including the agronomic and/or nonagronomic locus of infestation, to the area to be protected, or directly on the pests to be controlled. A preferred method of application is by spraying. Alternatively, granular formulations of these compounds can be applied to the plant foliage or the soil. Other methods of application include direct and residual sprays, aerial sprays, seed coats, microencapsulations, systemic uptake, baits, eartags, boluses, foggers, fumigants, aerosols, dusts and many others. The compounds can be incorporated into baits that are consumed by the arthropods or in devices such as traps and the like. The compounds of this invention can be applied in their pure state, but most often application will be of a formulation comprising one or more compounds with suitable carriers, diluents, and surfactants and possibly in combination with a food depending on the contemplated end use. A preferred method of application involves spraying a water dispersion or refined oil solution of the compounds. Combinations with spray oils, spray oil concentrations, spreader stickers, adjuvants, and synergists and other solvents such as piperonyl butoxide often enhance compound efficacy.

The rate of application required for effective control will depend on such factors as the species of arthropod to be controlled, the pest's life cycle, life stage, its size, location, time of year, host crop or animal, feeding behavior, mating behavior, ambient moisture, temperature, and the like. Under normal circumstances, application rates of about 0.01 to 2 kg of active ingredient per hectare are sufficient to control pests in agronomic ecosystems, but as little as 0.001 kg/hectare may be sufficient or as much as 8 kg hectare may be required. For nonagronomic applications, effective use rates will range from about 1.0 to 50 mg/square meter but as little as 0.1 mg/square meter may be sufficient or as much as 150 mg/square meter may be required.

The following TESTS demonstrate the control efficacy of compounds of this invention on specific pests. "Control efficacy" represents inhibition of arthropod development (including mortality) that causes significantly reduced feeding. The pest control protection afforded by the compounds is not limited, however, to these species. See Index Tables A-D for the compound descriptions.

TEST A

Fall Armyworm Test units, each consisting of a H.I.S. (high impact styrene) tray with 16 cells were prepared. Wet filter paper and approximately 8 cm² of lima bean leaf was placed into twelve of the cells. A 0.5 cm layer of wheat germ diet was placed into the four remaining cells. Fifteen to twenty third-instar larvae of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperdd) were placed into a 230 mL (8 ounce) plastic cup. Solutions of each of the test compounds in 75/25 acetone/distilled water solvent were sprayed into the tray and cup. Spraying was accomplished by passing the tray and cup on a conveyer belt directly beneath a flat fan hydraulic nozzle which discharged the spray at a rate of 0.55 kg of active ingredient per hectare (about 0.5 pounds per acre) at 207 kPa (30 p.s.i.). The insects were transferred from the 230 mL cup to the H.I.S. tray (one insect per cell). The trays were covered and held at 27°C and 50% relative humidity for 48 h, after which time readings were taken on the twelve cells with lima bean leaves. The 4 four remaining cells were read at 6-8 days for delayed toxicity. Of the compounds tested, the following gave control efficacy levels of 80% or greater: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5^*, 6^* and 10^*. * - tested at 0.14 kg/ha. TEST B

Tobacco Budworm

The test procedure of TEST A was repeated to determine efficacy against third-instar larvae of the tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens) except that three 230 mL (8 ounce) plastic cups with wheat germ diet were used in place of the H.I.S. tray, with each cup pre-infested with 5 third-instar larvae. Of the compounds tested, the following gave mortality levels of 80% or higher: 1, 3, 4, 5^* and 10*. * - tested at 0.14 kg/ha. TEST C Southern Corn Rootworm

Test units, each consisting of a 230 mL (8 ounce) plastic cup containing a 2.54 cm² plug (1 square inch) of a wheatgerm diet, were prepared. The test units were sprayed as described in TEST A with individual solutions of the test compounds. After the spray on the cups had dried, five second-instar larvae of the southern corn rootworm (Diabrotica undecimpunctata howardϊ) were placed into each cup. The cups were held at 27°C and 50% relative humidity for 48 h, after which time mortality readings were taken. The same units were read again at 6-8 days for delayed toxicity. Of the compounds tested, the following gave control efficacy levels of 80% or greater: 1 and 4.

TEST D Aster Leafhopper

Test units were prepared from a series of 350 mL (12 ounce) cups, each containing oat (Avena sativa) seedlings in a 2.54 cm (1 inch) layer of sterilized soil. The test units were sprayed as described in TEST A with individual solutions of the test compounds. After the oats had dried from the spraying, 10 to 15 adult aster leafhoppers (Mascrosteles fascifrons) were aspirated into each of the cups. The cups were covered with vented lids and held at 27°C and 50% relative humidity for 48 h, after which time mortality readings were taken. Of the compounds tested, the following gave mortality levels of 80% or higher: 1 and 2.

TEST E Boll Weevil

Test units consisting of 260 mL (9 ounce) cups containing five adult boll weevils (Anthonomus grandis grandis) were prepared. The test units were sprayed as described in TEST A with individual solutions of the test compounds. Each cup was covered with a vented lid and held at 27°C and 50% relative humidity for 48 h, after which time mortality readings were taken. Of the compounds tested, the following gave mortality levels of 80% or higher: 1 and 3.
