The invention relates to a method for improving the utilization of the production potential of transgenic plants.
In the last years, there has been a marked increase in the proportion of transgenic plants in agriculture, even if regional differences are still noticeable to date. Thus, for example, the proportion of transgenic maize in the USA has doubled from 26% to 52% since 2001, while transgenic maize has hardly been of any practical importance in Germany. However, in other European countries, for example in Spain, the proportion of transgenic maize is already about 12%.
Transgenic plants are employed mainly to utilize the production potential of respective plant varieties in the most favourable manner, at the lowest possible input of production means. The aim of the genetic modification of the plants is in particular the generation of resistance in the plants to certain pests or harmful organisms or else herbicides and also to abiotic stress (for example drought, heat or elevated salt levels). It is also possible to modify a plant genetically to increase certain quality or product features, such as, for example, the content of selected vitamins or oils, or to improve certain fibre properties.
Herbicide resistance or tolerance can be achieved, for example, by incorporating genes into the useful plant for expressing enzymes to detoxify certain herbicides, so that a relatively unimpeded growth of these plants is possible even in the presence of these herbicides for controlling broad-leaved weeds and weed grasses. Examples which may be mentioned are cotton varieties or maize varieties which tolerate the herbicidally active compound glyphosate (Roundup®), (Roundup Ready®, Monsanto) or the herbicides glufosinate or oxynil.
More recently, there has also been the development of useful plants comprising two or more genetic modifications (“stacked transgenic plants” or multiply transgenic crops). Thus, for example, Monsanto has developed multiply transgenic maize varieties which are resistant to the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis) and the Western corn rootworm (Diabrotica virgifera). Also known are maize and cotton crops which are both resistant to the Western corn rootworm and the cotton bollworm and tolerant to the herbicide Roundup®.
It has now been found that the utilization of the production potential of transgenic useful plants can be improved even more by treating the plants with one or more 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivative(s). Here, the term “treatment” includes all measures resulting in a contact between these active compounds and at least one plant part. “Plant parts” are to be understood as meaning all above-ground and below-ground parts and organs of plants, such as shoot, leaf, flower and root, by way of example leaves, needles, stalks, stems, flowers, fruit bodies, fruits and seed, and also roots, tubers and rhizomes. The plant parts also include harvested material and also vegetative and generative propagation material, for example cuttings, tubers, rhizomes, slips and seed.
3-Arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives and their herbicidal or insecticidal actions are extensively known from the prior art. Thus, for example, EP-A-355 599 and EP-A-415 211 disclose bicyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives. Substituted monocyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives are known from EP-A-377 893 and EP-A-442 077. Furthermore known are polycyclic 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (EP-A-442 073) and also tetramic acid derivatives from EP-A-456 063, EP-A-521 334, EP-A-596 298, EP-A-613 884, WO 95/01 997, WO 95/26 954, WO 95/20 572, EP-A-0 668 267, WO 96/25 395, WO 96/35 664, WO 97/01 535, WO 97/02 243, WO 97/36 868, WO 97/43 275, WO 98/05 638, WO 98/06 721, WO 98/25 928, WO 99/16 748, WO 99/24 437, WO 99/43 649, WO 99/48 869, WO 99/55 673, WO 01/09 092, WO 91/17 972, WO 01/23 354, WO 01/74 770, WO 03/013 249, WO 2004/007 448, WO 2004/024 688, WO 04/065 366, WO 04/080 962, WO 04/111 042, WO 05/044 791, WO 05/044 796, WO 05/048 710, WO 05/049 596, WO 05/066 125, WO 05/092 897, WO 06/000 355, WO 06/029799, WO 06/056281 and WO 06/056282.
From these documents, the person skilled in the art will easily be familiar with processes for producing and methods for applying 3-arylpyrrolidine-2,4-dione derivatives (3-APD), and with their action. Accordingly, these documents are incorporated into the present application in their entirety with respect to the active compounds which can be employed according to the invention, and to their preparation and use.
The 3-APD which can be employed according to the invention have the general formula (I), as follows:
in which
X represents halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy or cyano,
W, Y and Z independently of one another represent hydrogen, halogen, alkyl, alkoxy, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy or cyano,
A represents hydrogen, in each case optionally halogen-substituted alkyl, alkoxyalkyl, saturated, optionally substituted cycloalkyl in which optionally at least one ring atom is replaced by a heteroatom,
B represents hydrogen or alkyl,
A and B together with the carbon atom to which they are attached represent a saturated or unsaturated substituted or unsubstituted cycle which optionally contains at least one heteroatom,
D represents hydrogen or an optionally substituted radical from the group consisting of alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxyalkyl, saturated cycloalkyl in which optionally one or more ring members are replaced by heteroatoms,
A and D together with the atoms to which they are attached represent a saturated or unsaturated cycle which is unsubstituted or substituted in the A,D moiety and optionally contains at least one heteroatom,
G represents hydrogen (a) or represents one of the groups
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least one insecticidally active 3-APD derivative is used for treating transgenic useful plants. For the purpose of the invention, the term “insecticidally active” or “insecticidal” comprises insecticidal, acaricidal, molluscicidal, nematicidal and ovicidal actions, and also a repelling, behaviour-modifying or sterilizing action on pests.
Preferred insecticidally active compounds are compounds of the formula (I), in which
in particular (a), (b), (c) or (g),
R6 preferably represents C1-C6-alkyl, C3-C6-cycloalkyl, C1-C6-alkoxy, C3-C6-alkenyl, C1-C4-alkoxy-C1-C4alkyl,
Depending on the nature of the substitution, the compounds of the formula (I) may also be present as optical isomers or isomer mixtures of varying compositions.
Especially preferred are compounds of the abovementioned formula (I) in which the radicals are as defined below:
in the form of their cis/trans isomer mixtures or their pure cis isomers.
Emphasis is given to the cis isomers of the formulae (I-3) and (I-4)
The compounds of the formula (I) are—as already mentioned above—known to the person skilled in the art, as is their preparation (see in particular WO 97/01 535, WO 97/36 868, WO 98/05 638, WO 04/007 448).
Preference is given to mixtures of two or more, preferably two or three, particularly preferably two, of the insecticidally active compounds.
According to the process proposed according to the invention, transgenic plants, in particular the useful plants, are treated with 3-APD derivatives to increase agricultural productivity. For the purpose of the invention, transgenic plants are plants coding for at least one gene or gene fragment not transferred by fertilization. This gene or gene fragment may originate or be derived from another plant of the same species, from plants of a different species, but also from organisms from the animal kingdom or microorganisms (including viruses) (“foreign gene”) and/or, if appropriate, already have mutations compared to the natural sequence. According to the invention, it is also possible to use synthetic genes, which is also included in the term “foreign gene” here. It is also possible for a transgenic plant to code for two or more foreign genes of different origin.
For the purpose of the invention, the “foreign gene” is further characterized in that it comprises a nucleic acid sequence which has a certain biological or chemical function or activity in the transgenic plant. In general, these genes code for biocatalysts, such as, for example, enzymes or ribozymes, or else they comprise regulatory sequences, such as, for example, promoters or terminators, for controlling the expression of endogenous proteins. However, to this end, they may also code for regulatory proteins, such as, for example, repressors or inductors. Furthermore, the foreign gene may also serve the targeted localization of a gene product of the transgenic plant, coding, for example, for a signal sequence. The foreign gene may also code for inhibitors, such as, for example, antisense RNA.
The person skilled in the art is readily familiar with numerous different methods for producing transgenic plants and methods for the targeted mutagenesis, for gene transformation and cloning, for example from: Willmitzer, 1993, Transgenic plants, in: Biotechnology, A Multivolume Comprehensive Treatise, Rehm et al. (eds.), Vol. 2, 627-659, VCH Weinheim, Germany; McCormick et al., 1986, Plant Cell Reports 5: 81-84; EP-A 0221044; EP-A 0131624, or Sambrook et al., 1989, “Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual”, 3rd Ed., Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y.; Winnacker, 1996, “Gene and Klone” [Genes and Clones], 2nd Ed., VCH Weinheim or Christou, 1996, Trends in Plant Science 1: 423-431. Examples of transit or signal peptides or time- or site-specific promoters are disclosed, for example, in Braun et al., 1992, EMBO J. 11: 3219-3227; Wolter et al., 1988, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85: 846-850; Sonnewald et al., 1991, Plant J. 1: 95-106.
An example of a complex genetic manipulation of a useful plant is the so-called GURT technology (“Genetic Use Restriction Technologies”) which allows the technical control of the propagation of the transgenic plant variety in question. To this end, in general two or three foreign genes are cloned into the useful plant which, in a complex interaction after administration of an external stimulus, trigger a cascade resulting in the death of the embryo which would otherwise develop. To this end, the external stimulus (for example an active compound or another chemical or abiotic stimulus) may interact, for example, with a repressor which then no longer suppresses the expression of a recombinase, so that the recombinase is able to cleave an inhibitor thus allowing expression of a toxin causing the embryo to die. Examples of this type of transgenic plants are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,723,765 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,808,034.
Accordingly, the person skilled in the art is familiar with processes for generating transgenic plants which, by virtue of the integration of regulatory foreign genes and the overexpression, suppression or inhibition of endogenous genes or gene sequences mediated in this manner, if appropriate, or by virtue of the existence or expression of foreign genes or fragments thereof, have modified properties.
As already discussed above, the method according to the invention allows better utilization of the production potential of transgenic plants. On the one hand, this may, if appropriate, be based on the fact that the application rate of the active compound which can be employed according to the invention can be reduced, for example by lowering the dose employed or else by reducing the number of applications. On the other hand, if appropriate, the yield of the useful plants may be increased quantitatively and/or qualitatively. This is true in particular in the case of a transgenically generated resistance to biotic or abiotic stress. If, for example, insecticidal 3-APD are used, the dosage of the insecticide may in certain cases be limited to a sublethal dose, without this resulting in a significant weakening of the desired effect of the active compound on the pests.
Depending on the plant species or plant varieties, their location and the growth conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, nutrients), these synergistic actions may vary and may be multifarious. Thus possible are, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an increase of the activity of the compounds and compositions used according to the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, higher quality and/or higher nutrient value of the harvested products, increased storability and/or processibility of the harvested products, which exceed the effects normally to be expected.
These advantages are the result of a synergistic action, achieved according to the invention, between the 3-APD which can be employed and the respective principle of action of the genetic modification of the transgenic plant. This reduction of production means as a result of the synergism, with simultaneous yield or quality increase, is associated with considerable economical and ecological advantages.
A list of examples known to the person skilled in the art of transgenic plants, with the respective affected structure in the plant or the protein expressed by the genetic modification in the plant being mentioned, is compiled in Table 1. Here, the structure in question or the principle expressed is in each case grouped with a certain feature in the sense of a tolerance to a certain stress factor. A similar list (Table 3) compiles—in a slightly different arrangement—likewise examples of principles of action, tolerances induced thereby and possible useful plants. Further examples of transgenic plants suitable for the treatment according to the invention are compiled in Tables 4, and 5 and 6.
In an advantageous embodiment, the 3-APD are used for treating transgenic plants comprising at least one gene or gene fragment coding for a Bt toxin. A Bt toxin is a protein originating from or derived from the soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis which either belongs to the group of the crystal toxins (Cry) or the cytolytic toxins (Cyt). In the bacterium, they are originally formed as protoxins and only metabolized in alkaline medium—for example in the digestive tract of certain feed insects—to their active form. There, the active toxin then binds to certain hydrocarbon structures at cell surfaces causing pores to be formed which destroy the osmotic potential of the cell, which may effect cell lysis. The result is the death of the insects. Bt toxins are active in particular against certain harmful species from the orders of the Lepidoptera (butterflies), Homoptera, Diptera and Coleoptera (beetles) in all their development stages; i.e. from the egg larva via their juvenile forms to their adult forms.
It has been known for a long time that gene sequences coding for Bt toxins, parts thereof or else peptides or proteins derived from Bt toxins can be cloned with the aid of genetical engineering into agriculturally useful plants to generate transgenic plants having endogenous resistance to pests sensitive to Bt toxins. For the purpose of the invention, the transgenic plants coding for a Bt toxin or proteins derived therefrom are defined as “Bt plants”.
The “first generation” of such Bt plants generally only comprise the genes enabling the formation of a certain toxin, thus only providing resistance to one group of pathogens. An example of a commercially available maize variety comprising the gene for forming the Cry1Ab toxin is “YieldGard®” from Monsanto which is resistant to the European corn borer. In contrast, in the Bt cotton variety (Bollgard®), resistance to other pathogens from the family of the Lepidoptera is generated by introduction by cloning of the genes for forming the Cry1Ac toxin. Other transgenic crop plants, in turn, express genes for forming Bt toxins with activity against pathogens from the order of the Coleoptera. Examples that may be mentioned are the Bt potato variety “NewLeaf®” (Monsanto) capable of forming the Cry3A toxin, which is thus resistant to the Colorado potato beetle, and the transgenic maize variety “YieldGard®” (Monsanto) which is capable of forming the Cry 3Bb1 toxin and is thus protected against various species of the Western corn rootworm.
In a “second generation”, the multiply transgenic plants, already described above, expressing or comprising at least two foreign genes were generated.
Preference according to the invention is given to transgenic plants with Bt toxins from the group of the Cry family (see, for example, Crickmore et al., 1998, Microbiol. Mol. Biol. Rev. 62: 807-812), which are particularly effective against Lepidoptera, Coleoptera and Diptera. Examples of genes coding for the proteins are:
cry1Aa1, cry1Aa2, cry1Aa3, cry1Aa4, cry1Aa5, cry1Aa6, cry1Aa7, cry1Aa8, cry1Aa9, cry1Aa10, cry1Aa11 cry1Ab1, cry1Ab2, cry1Ab3, cry1Ab4, cry1Ab5, cry1Ab6, cry1Ab7, cry1Ab8, cry1Ab9, cry1Ab10, cry1Ab10, cry1Ab12, cry1Ab13, cry1Ab14, cry1Ac1, cry1Ac2, cry1Ac3, cry1Ac4, cry1Ac5, cry1Ac6, cry1Ac7, cry1Ac8, cry1Ac9, cry1Ac10, cry1Ac11, cry1Ac12, cry1Ac13, cry1Ad1, cry1Ad2, cry1Ae1, cry1Af1, cry1Ag1, cry1Ba1, cry1Ba2, cry1Bb1, cry1Bc1, cry1Bd1, cry1Be1, cry1Ca1, cry1Ca2, cry1Ca3, cry1Ca4, cry1Ca5, cry1Ca6, cry1Ca7, cry1Cb1, cry1Cb2, cry1Da1, cry1Da2, cry1Db1, cry1Ea1, cry1Ea2, cry1Ea3, cry1Ea4, cry1Ea5, cry1Ea6, cry1Eb1, cry1Fa1, cry1Fa2, cry1Fb1, cry1Fb2, cry1Fb3, cry1Fb4, cry1Ga1, cry1Ga2, cry1Gb1, cry1Gb2, cry1Ha1, cry1Hb1, cry1Ia1, cry1Ia2, cry1Ia3, cry1Ia4, cry1Ia5, cry1Ia6, cry1Ja1, cry1Jb1, cry1Jc1, cry1Ka1, cry1-like, cry2Aa1, cry2Aa2, cry2Aa3, cry2Aa4, cry2Aa5, cry2Aa6, cry2Aa7, cry2Aa8, cry2Aa9, cry2Ab1, cry2Ab2, cry2Ab3, cry2Ac1, cry2Ac2, cry2Ad1, cry3Aa1, cry3Aa2, cry3Aa3, cry3Aa4, cry3Aa5, cry3Aa6, cry3Aa7, cry3Ba1, cry3Ba2, cry3Bb1, cry3Bb2, cry3Bb3, cry3Ca1, cry4Aa1, cry4Aa2, cry4Ba1, cry4Ba2, cry4Ba3, cry4Ba4, cry5Aa1, cry5Ab1, cry5Ac1, cry5Ba1, cry6Aa1, cry6Ba1, cry7Aa1, cry7Ab1, cry7Ab2, cry8Aa1, cry8Ba1, cry8Ca1, cry9Aa1, cry9Aa2, cry9Ba1, cry9Ca1, cry9Da1, cry9Da2, cry9Ea1, cry9 like, cry10Aa1, cry10Aa2, cry11Aa1, cry11Aa2, cry11Ba1, cry11Bb1, cry12Aa1, cry13Aa1, cry14Aa1, cry15Aa1, cry16Aa1, cry17Aa1, cry18Aa1, cry18Ba1, cry18Ca1, cry19Aa1, cry19Ba1, cry20Aa1, cry21Aa1, cry21Aa2, cry22Aa1, cry23Aa1, cry24Aa1, cry25Aa1, cry26Aa1, cry27Aa1, cry28Aa1, cry28Aa2, cry29Aa1, cry30Aa1, cry31Aa1, cyt1Aa1, cyt1Aa2, cyt1Aa3, cyt1Aa4, cyt1Ab1, cyt1Ba1, cyt2Aa1, cyt2Ba1, cyt2Ba2, cyt2Ba3, cyt2Ba4, cyt2Ba5, cyt2Ba6, cyt2Ba7, cyt2Ba8, cyt2Bb1.
Particular preference is given to the genes or gene sections of the subfamilies cry1, cry2, cry3, cry5 and cry9; especially preferred are cry1Ab, cry1Ac, cry3A, cry3B and cry9C.
Furthermore, it is preferred to use plants which, in addition to the genes for one or more Bt toxins, express or contain, if appropriate, also genes for expressing, for example, a protease or peptidase inhibitor (such as in WO-A 95/35031), of herbicide resistances (for example to glufosinate or glyphosate by expression of the pat gene or bar gene) or for becoming resistant to nematodes, fungi or viruses (for example by expressing a gluconase, chitinase). However, they may also be modified in their metabolic properties, so that they show a qualitative and/or quantitative change of ingredients (for example by modification of the energy, carbohydrate, fatty acid or nitrogen metabolism or by metabolite currents influencing these (see above).
A list of examples of principles of action which can be introduced by genetic modification into a useful plant and which are suitable for the treatment according to the invention on their own or in combination is compiled in Table 2. Under the header “AP” (active principle), this table contains the respective principle of action and associated therewith the pest to be controlled.
In a particularly preferred variant, the process according to the invention is used for treating transgenic vegetable, maize, soyabean, cotton, tobacco, rice, potato and sugar beet varieties. These are preferably Bt plants.
The vegetable plants or varieties are, for example, the following useful plants:
Bt vegetables including exemplary methods for preparing them are described in detail, for example, in Barton et al., 1987, Plant Physiol. 85: 1103-1109; Vaeck et al., 1987, Nature 328: 33-37; Fischhoff et al., 1987, Bio/Technology 5: 807-813. In addition, Bt vegetable plants are already known as commercial varieties, for example the potato cultivar NewLeaf® (Monsanto). The preparation of Bt vegetables is also described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,072,105.
Likewise, Bt cotton is already cotton in principle, for example from U.S. Pat. No. 5,322,938 or from Prietro-Samsonór et al., J. Ind. Microbiol. & Biotechn. 1997, 19, 202, and H. Agaisse and D. Lereclus, J. Bacteriol. 1996, 177, 6027. Different varieties of Bt cotton, too, are already commercially available, for example under the name NuCOTN® (Deltapine (USA)). In the context of the present invention, particular preference is given to Bt cotton NuCOTN33® and NuCOTN33B®.
The use and preparation of Bt maize has likewise already been known for a long time, for example from Ishida, Y., Saito, H., Ohta, S., Hiei, Y., Komari, T., and Kumashiro, T. (1996). High efficiency transformation of maize (Zea mayz L.) mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Nature Biotechnology 4: 745-750. EP-B-0485506, too, describes the preparation of Bt maize plants. Furthermore, different varieties of Bt maize are commercially available, for example under the following names (company/companies is/are in each case given in brackets): KnockOut® (Novartis Seeds), NaturGard® (Mycogen Seeds), Yieldgard® (Novartis Seeds, Monsanto, Cargill, Golden Harvest, Pioneer, DeKalb inter alia), Bt-Xtra® (DeKalb) and StarLink® (Aventis CropScience, Garst inter alia). For the purpose of the present invention, particular preference is given especially to the following maize cultivars: KnockOut®, NaturGard®, Yieldgard®, Bt-Xtra® and StarLink®.
For soyabeans, too, Roundup®Ready cultivar or cultivars resistant to the herbicide Liberty Link® are available and can be treated according to the invention. In the case of rice, a large number of “Golden Rice” lines are available which are likewise characterized in that, by virtue of a transgenic modification, they have an increased content of provitamin A. They, too, are examples of plants which can be treated by the method according to the invention, with the advantages described.
The method according to the invention is suitable for controlling a large number of harmful organisms which occur in particular in vegetables, maize and cotton, in particular insects and arachnids, very particularly preferably insects. The pests mentioned include:

The active compounds which can be used according to the invention are particularly suitable for controlling insects from the sub-order of the plant lice (Sternorrhyncha), in particular for controlling gall aphids (Phemphigidae), root aphids, jumping plant lice (Psyllidae), soft scales (Coccidae), armoured scales (Diaspididae), ensign coccids (Ortheziidae) or mealy-bugs (Pseudococcidae). This application is described in detail in WO 2006/077071, which document is incorporated herein by reference in this respect for the purpose of disclosure.
The method according to the invention is particularly suitable for treating Bt vegetables, Bt maize, Bt cotton, Bt soyabeans, Bt tobacco and also Bt rice, Bt sugar beet or Bt potatoes for controlling aphids (Aphidina), whiteflies (Trialeurodes), thrips (Thysanoptera), spider mites (Arachnida), scale insects and mealy-bugs (Coccoidae and Pseudococcoidae).
The active compounds which can be used according to the invention can be employed in customary formulations, such as solutions, emulsions, wettable powders, water- and oil-based suspensions, powders, dusts, pastes, soluble powders, soluble granules, granules for broadcasting, suspoemulsion concentrates, natural compounds impregnated with active compound, synthetic substances impregnated with active compound, fertilizers and also microencapsulations in polymeric substances.
These formulations are prepared in a known manner, for example by mixing the active compounds with extenders, i.e. liquid solvents and/or solid carriers, if appropriate using surfactants, i.e. emulsifiers and/or dispersants and/or foam-formers. The formulations are prepared either in suitable plants or else before or during application.
Wettable powders are preparations which can be dispersed homogeneously in water and which, in addition to the active compound and beside a diluent or inert substance, also comprise wetting agents, for example polyethoxylated alkylphenols, polyethoxylated fatty alcohols, alkylsulphonates or alkylphenylsulphonates and dispersants, for example sodium lignosulphonate, sodium 2,2′-dinaphthylmethane-6,6′-disulphonate.
Dusts are obtained by grinding the active compound with finely distributed solid substances, for example talc, natural clays, such as kaolin, bentonite, pyrophillite or diatomaceous earth. Granules can be prepared either by spraying the active compound onto granular inert material capable of adsorption or by applying active compound concentrates to the surface of carrier substances, such as sand, kaolinites or granular inert material, by means of adhesives, for example polyvinyl alcohol, sodium polyacrylate or mineral oils. Suitable active compounds can also be granulated in the manner customary for the preparation of fertilizer granules—if desired as a mixture with fertilizers.
Suitable for use as auxiliaries are substances which are suitable for imparting to the composition itself and/or to preparations derived therefrom (for example spray liquors, seed dressings) particular properties such as certain technical properties and/or also particular biological properties. Typical suitable auxiliaries are: extenders, solvents and carriers.
Suitable extenders are, for example, water, polar and nonpolar organic chemical liquids, for example from the classes of the aromatic and non-aromatic hydrocarbons (such as paraffins, alkylbenzenes, alkylnaphthalenes, chlorobenzenes), the alcohols and polyols (which, if appropriate, may also be substituted, etherified and/or esterified), the ketones (such as acetone, cyclohexanone), esters (including fats and oils) and (poly)ethers, the unsubstituted and substituted amines, amides, lactams (such as N-alkylpyrrolidones) and lactones, the sulphones and sulphoxides (such as dimethyl sulphoxide).
If the extender used is water, it is also possible to employ, for example, organic solvents as auxiliary solvents. Essentially, suitable liquid solvents are: aromatics such as xylene, toluene or alkylnaphthalenes, chlorinated aromatics and chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzenes, chloroethylenes or methylene chloride, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane or paraffins, for example petroleum fractions, mineral and vegetable oils, alcohols such as butanol or glycol and also their ethers and esters, ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone or cyclohexanone, strongly polar solvents such as dimethyl sulphoxide, and also water.
Suitable solid carriers are:
for example, ammonium salts and ground natural minerals such as kaolins, clays, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth, and ground synthetic minerals, such as finely divided silica, alumina and silicates; suitable solid carriers for granules are: for example, crushed and fractionated natural rocks such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite and dolomite, and also synthetic granules of inorganic and organic meals, and granules of organic material such as paper, sawdust, coconut shells, maize cobs and tobacco stalks; suitable emulsifiers and/or foam-formers are: for example, nonionic and anionic emulsifiers, such as polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters, polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ethers, for example alkylaryl polyglycol ethers, alkylsulphonates, alkyl sulphates, arylsulphonates and also protein hydrolysates; suitable dispersants are nonionic and/or ionic substances, for example from the classes of the alcohol-POE and/or -POP ethers, acid and/or POP POE esters, alkylaryl and/or POP POE ethers, fat and/or POP POE adducts, POE- and/or POP-polyol derivatives, POE- and/or POP-sorbitan or -sugar adducts, alkyl or aryl sulphates, alkyl- or arylsulphonates and alkyl or aryl phosphates or the corresponding PO-ether adducts. Furthermore, suitable oligo- or polymers, for example those derived from vinylic monomers, from acrylic acid, from EO and/or PO alone or in combination with, for example, (poly)alcohols or (poly)amines. It is also possible to employ lignin and its sulphonic acid derivatives, unmodified and modified celluloses, aromatic and/or aliphatic sulphonic acids and their adducts with formaldehyde.
Tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose and natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, such as gum arabic, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl acetate, as well as natural phospholipids such as cephalins and lecithins, and synthetic phospholipids, can be used in the formulations.
It is possible to use colorants such as inorganic pigments, for example iron oxide, titanium oxide and Prussian Blue, and organic dyestuffs, such as alizarin dyestuffs, azo dyestuffs and metal phthalocyanine dyestuffs, and trace nutrients such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
Other possible additives are perfumes, mineral or vegetable, optionally modified oils, waxes and nutrients (including trace nutrients), such as salts of iron, manganese, boron, copper, cobalt, molybdenum and zinc.
Stabilizers, such as low-temperature stabilizers, preservatives, antioxidants, light stabilizers or other agents which improve chemical and/or physical stability may also be present.
These individual types of formulation are known in principle and are described, for example, in: Winnacker-Küchler, 1986, “Chemische Technologie” [Chemical Technology], Volume 7, 4th Ed., C. Hauser Verlag Munich; van Falkenberg, 1972-73, “Pesticides Formulations”, 2nd Ed., Marcel Dekker N.Y.; Martens, 1979, “Spray Drying Handbook”, 3rd Ed., G. Goodwin Ltd. London.
Based on his general expert knowledge, the person skilled in the art is able to choose suitable formulation auxiliaries (in this context, see, for example, Watkins, “Handbook of Insecticide Dust Diluents and Carriers”, 2nd Ed., Darland Books, Caldwell N.J.; v. Olphen, “Introduction to Clay Colloid Chemistry”, 2nd Ed., J. Wiley & Sons, N.Y.; Marsden, “Solvents Guide”, 2nd Ed., Interscience, N.Y. 1950; McCutcheon's, “Detergents and Emulsifiers Annual”, MC Publ.

In a preferred embodiment, the plants or plant parts are treated according to the invention with an oil-based suspension concentrate. An advantageous suspension concentrate is known from WO 2005/084435 (EP 1 725 104 A2). It consists of at least one agrochemically active compound solid at room temperature, at least one “closed” penetrant, at least one vegetable oil or mineral oil, at least one non-ionic surfactant and/or at least one anionic surfactant and, if appropriate, one or more additives from the groups of the emulsifiers, the antifoams, the preservatives, the antioxidants, the colourants and/or the inert fillers. Preferred embodiments of the suspension concentrate are described in the abovementioned WO 2005/084435. Corresponding suspension concentrates on a vegetable oil basis are described in EP 1 725 105 A2 expressly for the 3-APD which can be used here according to the invention. For the purpose of disclosure, both documents are incorporated herein in their entirety.
In a further preferred embodiment, the plants or plant parts are treated according to the invention with compositions comprising ammonium or phosphonium salts and, if appropriate, penetrants. An advantageous composition is known from DE 05059469. It consists of at least one active compound from the class of the 3-APD and at least one ammonium or phosphonium salt, and if appropriate penetrants. Preferred embodiments are described in DE 05059469. For the purpose of disclosure, this document is incorporated herein in its entirety.
In general, the formulations comprise from 0.01 to 98% by weight of active compound, preferably from 0.5 to 90%. In wettable powders, the active compound concentration is, for example, from about 10 to 90% by weight, the remainder to 100% by weight consisting of customary formulation components. In the case of emulsifiable concentrates, the active compound concentration can be from about 5 to 80% by weight. In most cases, formulations in the form of dusts comprise from 5 to 20% by weight of active compound, sprayable solutions comprise about 2 to 20% by weight. In the case of granules, the active compound content depends partially on whether the active compound is present in liquid or solid form and on which granulation auxiliaries, fillers, etc., are used.
The required application rate may also vary with external conditions such as, inter alia, temperature and humidity. It may vary within wide limits, for example between 0.1 g/h and 5.0 kg/ha or more of active substance. However, it is preferably between 0.1 g/ha and 1.0 kg/ha. Owing to the synergistic effects between Bt vegetable and insecticide, particular preference is given to application rates of from 0.1 to 500 g/ha.
For compounds of the formula (I), preference is given to application rates of from 10 to 500 g/ha, particular preference is given to 10 to 200 g/ha.
In their commercial formulations and in the use forms prepared from these formulations, the active compounds according to the invention may be present as mixtures with other active compounds, such as insecticides, attractants, sterilants, acaricides, nematicides, fungicides, growth-regulating substances or herbicides.
Particularly favourable mixing partners are, for example, the following compounds:
Inhibitors of nucleic acid synthesis
A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, fertilizers, growth regulators, safeners, semiochemicals, or else with agents for improving the plant properties, is also possible.
The active compound content of the use forms prepared from the commercially available formulations can be from 0.00000001 to 95% by weight, preferably between 0.00001 and 1% by weight, of active compound.

The invention is illustrated in more detail by the examples below, without being limited thereby.
Individually potted transgenic cotton plants with Lepidoptera resistance and herbicide resistance (line DP444 BG/RR) are treated against larvae of the cotton bollworm (Heliothis armigera) in two replications. Application is by spray application with the active compound in question at the stated application rate.
After the desired period of time, the kill in % is determined. 100% means that all caterpillars have been killed; 0% means that none of the caterpillars have been killed.
A considerable improvement in the control of pests compared to the control plants not treated according to the invention is noticeable.
Pots containing in each case 5 transgenic maize plants with Lepidoptera resistance and herbicide resistance (line SGI1890 Hx×AGI1847) are treated against the army worm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in 2 replications. Application is by spray application with the active compound in question at the stated application rate.
After the desired period of time, the kill in % is determined. 100% means that all caterpillars have been killed; 0% means that none of the caterpillars have been killed.
A considerable improvement in the control of pests compared to the control plants not treated according to the invention is noticeable.
Pots containing in each case 5 transgenic maize plants with herbicide resistance (line FR1064LL X FR2108) are treated against the army worm (Spodoptera frugiperda) in 2 replications. Application is by spray application with the active compound in question at the stated application rate.
After the desired period of time, the kill in % is determined. 100% means that all caterpillars have been killed; 0% means that none of the caterpillars have been killed.
A considerable improvement in the control of pests compared to the control plants not treated according to the invention is noticeable.
The invention is furthermore also illustrated in more detail by the examples below, without being limited thereby. The spirotetramate mentioned in the tables is the compound I-4.
The activity according to the invention, i.e. the synergistic activity between the transgenic property of the plant and the active compound treatment can be demonstrated using the method of S.R. Colby, Weeds 15 (1967), 20-22. This is based on the following calculation base and assumption (“Colby formula”):
If
If the actual kill rate (i.e. the activity observed) is higher than the calculated one, the combination of active compound treatment and transgenically modified plant is superadditive in its kill, i.e. a synergistic effect between the active compound treatment and the use of a transgenic plant is present. In this case, the actually observed kill rate must thus be higher than the value calculated using the formula above for the kill rate (E).
In Examples 4 to 6 below, the observed kill rate is higher than the calculated kill rate. Thus, the synergistic activity according to the invention is present. According to the method according to the invention, four days after the treatment a kill of harmful organisms of at least 20%, preferably at least 30%, in particular at least 50%, compared to the control, can be observed. It is also possible to achieve kill results of at least 80 or 90% four days after treatment. Even one day after treatment, the kill of harmful organisms may be at least 20 or 30%.
Individually potted transgenic cotton plants having a Lepidoptera resistance and a herbicide resistance (line DP444 BG/RR) which are populated by a mixed population of the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) are treated with the active compound in question by spray application.
After a desired period of time, the kill in % is determined by counting the animals. 100% means that all aphids have been killed; 0% means that none of the aphids have been killed.
Compared to the control plants not treated according to the invention, a marked improvement in the control of the pests can be noticed.
In two replications, pots with in each case 5 transgenic maize plants having a Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and/or a herbicide resistance (lines LH332RR×LH324BT, HC33CRW×LH287BTCRW, HCL201CRW2RR×LH324 and FR1064LL×FR2108, respectively) are treated against the armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda). Application is by spray application with the active compound in question at the desired application rate.
After a desired period of time, the kill in % is determined by counting the animals. 100% means that all caterpillars have been killed; 0% means that none of the caterpillars have been killed.
Compared to the control plants not treated according to the invention, a marked improvement in the control of the pests can be noticed.
In two replications, pots with in each case 5 transgenic maize plants having a Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and/or a herbicide resistance (lines HC33CRW×LH287BTCRW and TR 47×TR 7322 BT, respectively) are treated against larvae of the armyworm (Spodoptera exigua). Application is by spray application with the active compound in question at the desired application rate.
After a desired period of time, the kill in % is determined by counting the animals. 100% means that all caterpillars have been killed; 0% means that none of the caterpillars have been killed.
Compared to the control plants not treated according to the invention, a marked improvement in the control of the pests can be noticed.
