Among the insect pests as above exemplified, the carbamic acid derivatives (I) are particularly effective in controlling those belonging to Hemiptera. They exhibit a noticeable insecticidal activity especially against planthoppers and leafhoppers in a field of rice plant.
In order to control the growth of the insect pests as above exemplified, the carbamic acid derivatives (I) of the invention may be used as such, i.e. without admixing with any other component. For the practical usage, they are normally admixed with any additive(s) as conventionally used in the related art field to make insecticidal compositions. They may be thus admixed with solid carriers, liquid carriers, gaseous carriers, food substances, etc. When necessary or desired, the mixtures may be further supplemented with surfactants and/or other adjuvants to make insecticidal compositions in forms such as oil sprays, emuisifiable concentrates, wettable powders, flowable concentrates (e.g. water-based suspension formulations, water-based emulsion formulations), granules, dusts, aerosols, heat smoking formulatins (e.g. self-burning type smoking formulations, chemical reaction type smoking formulations, porous ceramic plate type smoking formulations), ULV formulations, poison baits, etc.
The insecticidal composition of the invention comprises the carbamic acid derivative(s) (I) usually in a concentration of about 0.001 to 95% by weight.
Examples of the solid carrier used for making the insecticidal composition include fine pwoders or granules, etc. of clays (e.g. kaolin clay, diatomaceous earth, synthetic hydrated silicon dioxide, bentonite, Fubasami clay, terra alba, etc.), talc, ceramics, other inorganic minerals (e.g. sericite, quartz, sulfur, activated carbon, calcium carbonate, hydrated silica, etc.), chemical fertilizers (e.g. ammonium sulfate, ammonium phosphate, ammonium nitrate, urea, ammonium chloride, etc.), etc. Examples of the liquid carrier include water, alcohols (e.g. methanol, ethanol, etc.), ketones (e.g. acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, etc.), aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g. benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, methylnaphthalene, etc.), aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g. hexane, cyclohexane, kerosene, gas oil, etc.), esters (e.g. ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc.), nitriles (e.g. acetonitrile, isobutyronitrile, etc.), ethers (e.g. diisopropyl ether, dioaxane, etc.), acid amides (e.g. N,N-dimethylformamide, N,N-dimethylacetamide, etc.), halogehated hydrocarbons (e.g. dichloromethane, trichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, etc.), dimethylsulfoxide, vegetable oils (e.g. soybean oil, cotton seed oil), etc. Examples of the gaseous carrier, i.e. propellant, inlcude freon gas, butane gas, LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), dimethyl ether, carbon dioxide, etc.
Examples of the surfactant include alkyl sulfates, alkyl sulfoates, alkylaryl sulfonates, alkyl aryl ethers and polyoxyethylene derivatives thereof, polyethylene glycol ether, polyvalent alcohol esters, sugar alcohol derivatives, tec.
Examples of the adjuvants such as binders, dispersing agents, etc. for formulations include casein, gelatin, polysaccharides (e.g. starch powders, gum arabic, cellulose derivatives, alginic acid, etc.), lignin derivatives, bentonite, sugars, synthetic water-soluble high molecular substances (e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid, etc.). Examples of the stabilizer include PAP (acidic isopropyl phosphate), BHT (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol), BHA (mixture of 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol and 3-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol), vegetable oils, mineral oils, surfactants, fatty acids or esters thereof, and the like.
The base material for self-burning type smoking formulations includes, for example, heat-generating agents such as nitrates, nitrites, guanidine salts, potassium chlorate, nitrocellulose, ethyl cellulose, wood powders, etc.; pyrolysis-promoting agents such as alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, dichromates, chromates, etc.; oxygen-supplying agnets such as potassium nitrate, etc.; burning-supporting agents such s melamine, wheat starch, etc.; extenders such as diatomaceous earth, etc.; and binders such as synthetic pastes, etc.
The base material for chemical reaction type smoking formulations includes, for example, heat-generating agents such as sulfides, polysulfides, hydrosulfides or salt hydrates of alkali metals, calcium oxide, etc.; catalyzing agents such as carbonaceous substances, iron carbide, activated clay, etc.; organic foaming agents such as azodicarbonamide, benzenesulfonyl hydrazide, dinitrosopentamethylenetetramine, polystyrene, polyurethane, etc.; fillers such as natural fiber pieces, synthetic fiber pieces, etc.
As the base material for poison baits, there are, for example, food components such as crop powders, essential vegetable oil, sugars, crystalline cellulose, etc.; antioxidants such as dibutylhydroxytoluene, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, etc.; preservatives such as dehydroacetic acid, etc.; mis-food preventing agents such as red peper powders, etc.; incentive flavor such as cheese flavor, onion flavor, etc.
The flowable concentrates (water-based suspension formulatons or water-based emulsion formulations) are generally obtained by finely dispersing about 1 to 75% of the active ingredient into water containing about 0.5 to 15% of a dispersing agent, about 0.1 to 10% of a suspending agent such as protective colloids (e.g. gelatin, casein, gum arabic, cellulose ethers, polyvinyl alcohols, etc) and thixotropic property-giving compounds (e.g. bentonite, aluminum magnesium sulicate, xanthane gum, polyacrylic acid, etc.) and about 0 to 10% of other auxiliary agent(s) (e.g. defoaming agents, anticorrosives, stabilizers, spreading agents, penetration auxiliaries, antifreezing agents, antibacterial agents, antimolding agents). It is also possible to obtain oil-based suspension formulations by replacing water by an oil which hardly dissolves the active compound.
The thus obtained formulations may be used as they are or after diluting with water, etc. Alternatively, the formulations may be used as admixture with other insecticides, nematocides, acaricides, fungicides, bacteriocides, herbicides, plant growth controllers, synergistic agents, fertilizers, soil conditioners, animal food, etc., or may also be used simultaneously with them, without mixing therewith.
When the carbamic acid derivative (I) is used as the agent for controlling insect pests in agriculture, the dosage of the active ingredient may be generally from about 0.001 to 500 grams, preparably from about 0.1 to 500 grams, per 10 ares. In case of the composition being formulated into emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, flowable concentrates, etc., it is normally diluted with water and applied in a concentration of from about 0.0001 to 1,000 ppm. Granules, dusts, etc. may be used as such.
For the purpose of home and public hygiene, the composition in the form of emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders or flowable concentrates, etc. is used as a dlution with water in a concentration of from about 0.0001 to 10,000 ppm. Oils, aerosols, fumigants, ULV formulations, poison baits, etc. can be used as such.

PRODUCTION EXAMPLE 8
Production of Compound (204)
A mixture of 14.99 g of 2-chloro-4-(3-chlorophenoxy)phenol, 4.44 g of chloroacetonitrile and 8.94 g of potassium carbonate in 150 ml of dimethylformamide was stirred at a temperature of 70.degree. to 80.degree. C. in an oil bath for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, poured into water and extracted twice with 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined together, washed twice with 200 ml of water, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 14.0 g of [2-chloro-4-(3-chlorophenoxy)phenoxy]acetonitrile as a crude product.
A solution of 14.0 g of the crude product as above obtained in 200 ml of tetrahydrofuran was kept at 0.degree. C., and 200 ml of borane tetrahydrofuran complex (1.0M tetrahydrofuran solution) were dropwise added thereto with stirring at a temperature of 0.degree. to 5.degree. C. The resultant mixure was stirred at room temperature overnight and then poured into 300 ml of water, followed by removal of tetrahydrofuran by distillation under reduced pressure. The reaction-product was salted out and extracted three times with 100 ml of ethyl acetate. The extracts were combined together, washed with 0 ml each of a 5% aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, water and a 10% aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure-to give 11.4 g of 2-[2-chloro-4-(3-chlorophenoxy)phenoxy]ethylamine.

TEST EXAMPLE 2
Reproduction Inhibitory Activity Against Green Rice Leafhopper
An emulfiable concentrate prepared according to Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water to make a predetermined concentration. The dilution was sprayed onto rice plants (about 20 cm in height) cultivated in plastic pots (1/5000 are in width) at a rate of 40 ml/2 pots on a turning table. After air-drying, the pots were covered with wire cages, and each 10 female and male adults of green rice leafhopper (Nephotettix cincticeps) were released in each of the cages. After 3 weeks, the number of nymphae was counted to obtain a reproduction inhibitory rate. The results are shown in Table 9.

TEST EXAMPLE 3
Ovicidal Activity Against Brown Rice Planthopper
An emulfiable concentrate prepared according to Formulation Example 1 was diluted with water to make a predetermined concentration. Each 5 male and female adults of brown rice planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens) were released in rice plants cultivated in pots covered with a cage for 3 days in order to lay eggs. After the adults were removed, the dilution was sprayed onto the rice plants with eggs at a rate of 20 ml/2 pots on a turning table. After 14 days, the number of hatching was counted to obtain an ovicidal rate. The results are shonw in Table 10.
