The compounds of the formula (I) may form tautomers. Accordingly, hereinbefore and hereinafter, where appropriate the compound compounds (I) are to be understood to include corresponding tautomers, even if the latter are not specifically mentioned in each case.
The compounds of the formula (I) are capable of forming acid addition salts. Those salts are formed, for example, with strong inorganic acids, such as mineral acids, for example perchloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, nitrous acid, a phosphoric acid or a hydrohalic acid, with strong organic carboxylic acids, such as unsubstituted or substituted, for example halo-substituted, C1-C4alkanecarboxylic acids, for example acetic acid, saturated or unsaturated dicarboxylic acids, for example oxalic, malonic, succinic, maleic, fumaric or phthalic acid, hydroxycarboxylic acids, for example ascorbic, lactic, malic, tartaric or citric acid, or benzoic acid, or with organic sulfonic acids, such as unsubstituted or substituted, for example halo-substituted, C1-C4alkane- or aryl-sulfonic acids, for example methane- or p-toluene-sulfonic acid. Furthermore, compounds of formula (I) having at least one acidic group are capable of forming salts with bases.
Suitable salts with bases are, for example, metal salts, such as alkali metal or alkaline earth metal salts, for example sodium, potassium or magnesium salts, or salts with ammonia or an organic amine, such as morpholine, piperidine, pyrrolidine, a mono-, di- or tri-lower alkylamine, for example ethyl-, diethyl-, triethyl- or dimethyl-propyl-amine, or a mono-, di- or tri-hydroxy-lower alkylamine, for example mono-, di- or tri-ethanolamine.
In addition, corresponding internal salts may also be formed. Preference is given within the scope of the invention to agrochemically advantageous salts.
In view of the close relationship between the compounds of formula (I) in free form and in the form of their salts, any reference hereinbefore or hereinafter to the free compounds of formula (I) or to their respective salts is to be understood as including also the corresponding salts or the free compounds of formula (I), where appropriate and expedient. The same applies in the case of tautomers of compounds of formula (I) and the salts thereof. The free form is generally preferred in each case.
Fertilizers which may be used are organic and inorganic nitrogen-containing compounds such as urea, urea- formaldehyde condensation products, amino acids, ammonium salts and nitrates, and also potassium salts (preferably chlorides, sulphates, nitrates) and phosphoric acid and/or salts of phosphoric acids (preferably potassium salts and ammonium salts). The fertilizers may also contain salts of micronutrients (preferably manganese, magnesium, iron, boron, copper, zinc, molybdenum and cobalt) and phytohormones (e.g. vitamin B1 and indole-III-acetic acid). The commercially available complete fertilizers are preferably employed.
The principal fertilizer constituents, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus, can be varied within wide limits. It is conventional to use contents of from 1 to 30% of nitrogen (preferably from 5 to 20%), from 1 to 20% of potassium (preferably from 3 to 15%) and from 1 to 20% of phosphorus (preferably from 3 to 10%). The contents of microelements are usually in the ppm range, preferably from 1 to 1000 ppm.
Surprisingly, it has been found that the application of the compounds of the formula (1) in combination with fertilizers as defined above to the plants or the locus thereof results in a quite unexpectedly enhanced plant growth.
It has flow been found, that the action of the compounds of the formula (I) goes far beyond their well-known pesticidal action. It has been shown, that the compounds of the formula (I) exhibit an action termed plant growth in the frame of the instant invention.
Under the term plant growth there are understood various sorts of improvements of plants which are not connected to the control of pests with the said compound (I). For example such advantageous properties that may be mentioned are improved crop characteristics including: emergence, more developed root system, tillering increase, increase in plant height, bigger leaf blade, less dead basal leaves, stronger tillers, more productive tillers, greener leaf colour, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, earlier flowering, less plant verse (lodging), increased shoot growth, improved plant vigour, and early germination, drought resistance, wood production, chlorophyll content, stress tolerance; or any other advantages familiar to a person skilled in the art.
It has been shown, that compounds of the instant formula (I) have a good effect on the plant growth. As a rule, a good effect means at least 10% earlier emergence, crop yields, more developed root system, increase in plant height, bigger leaf blade, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, increased shoot growth, improved plant vigor etc. A further aspect of the invention is a method of using a agonists and antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in a method for improving the growth of plants.

The invention accordingly relates also to compositions comprising at least one compound selected from the class of agonists and antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in combination with a fertilizer and the use of said compositions, such as emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates, directly sprayable or dilutable solutions, coatable pastes, dilute emulsions, wettable powders, soluble powders, dispersible powders, wettable powders, dusts, shaped articles, granules or encapsulations in polymeric substances, which comprise at least one of the compounds according to the invention, the type of formulation being chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances.
Preferred compositions are granules or encapsulations in polymeric substances, which comprise at least one compound selected from the class of agonists and antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in combination with a fertilizer.
The compounds of the formula (I) are used in those compositions in pure form, a solid the compounds of the formula (I) being used, for example, in a specific particle size, or, preferably, together with at least one of the adjuvants customary in formulation technology, such as extenders, e.g. solvents or solid carriers, or surface-active compounds (surfactants).
Suitable formulation adjuvants are, for example, solid carriers, solvents, stabilisers, slow-release adjuvants, dyes and optionally surface-active substances (surfactants). Suitable carriers and adjuvants in this case include all substances customarily used in crop protection products, especially in products for controlling snails and slugs. Suitable adjuvants, such as solvents, solid carriers, surface-active compounds, non-ionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants and further adjuvants in the compositions used in accordance with the invention are, for example, the same as those described in EP-A-736 252; are fully incorporated by reference herein for their disclosure relating to useful formulation adjuvants.
The compositions usually contain from 0.1 to 99%, especially from 0.1 to 95%, of a compound of the formula (I) and from 1 to 99.9%, especially from 5 to 99. of at least one solid or liquid adjuvant, it generally being possible for from 0 to 25 especially from 0.1 to 20%, of the composition to be surfactants (in each case percentages are by weight). Whereas commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates, the end user will normally employ dilute formulations which have considerably lower concentrations of one or more compounds of the formula (I).
Preferred formulations have especially the following composition (% =percent by weight):
Emulsifiable concentrates: active ingredient: 1 to 90%, preferably 5 to 20% surface-active agent: 1 to 30 preferably 10 to 20% liquid carrier: 5 to 94 preferably 70 to 85%
Dusts: active ingredient: 0.1 to 10%, preferably 0.1 to 1% solid carrier: 99.9 to 90%, preferably 99.9 to 99%
Suspension concentrates: active ingredient: 5 to 75%, preferably 10 to 50% water: 94 to 24%, preferably 88 to 30% surface-active agent: 1 to 40%, preferably 2 to 30%
Wettable powders: active ingredient: 0.5 to 90%, preferably 1 to 80% surface-active agent: 0.5 to 20%, preferably 1 to 15% solid carrier: 5 to 95%, preferably 15 to 90%
Granules: active ingredient: 0.5 to 30%, preferably 3 to 15% solid carrier: 99.5 to 70%, preferably 97 to 85%
Injection solution: active ingredient: 0.1 to 10%, preferably 0.5 to 5% non-ionic surfactant: 0.1 to 30 preferably 0.5 to 10% mixture of ethanol and propylene glycol: 60 to 99 preferably 85 to 90%
Injection suspension (aqueous or oily): active ingredient: 0.1 to 20 preferably 1 to 10% non-ionic surfactant: 0.1 to 20 preferably 1 to 10% water or vegetable oil: 60 to 99 preferably 85 to 95%
The compositions according to the invention are prepared in known manner: in the absence of adjuvants, for example, by grinding, sieving and/or compressing a solid compound of the formula (I), for example to a specific particle size, and, in the presence of at least one adjuvant, for example, by intimately mixing and/or grinding the compound of the formula (1) with the adjuvant(s). The invention relates also to those methods of preparing the compositions according to the invention and to the use of compounds I in the preparation of such compositions.
The invention relates also to the methods of applying the compositions of the type mentioned, such as spraying, atomising, dusting, coating, dressing, scattering or pouring, which are chosen in accordance with the intended objectives and the prevailing circumstances, and to the use of the compositions for the improvement of the plants of the type mentioned. Typical rates of concentration are from 0.1 to 1000 ppm, preferably from 0.1 to 500 ppm, of compound of the formula (1). The rates of application per hectare are generally from 1 to 2000 g of compound of the formula (I) per hectare, especially from 1 to 1000 g/ha, preferably from 5 to 600 g/ha.
A preferred method of application is application to the leaves of the plants (foliar application), the frequency and rate of application depending on the desired improvement of the crop plant in question. The compound of the formula (I) may, however, also penetrate the plants through the root system (systemic action) as a result of impregnation of the locus of the plant with a liquid formulation or by incorporation of the compound of the formula (I) in solid form, for example in the form of granules, in the locus of the plant, for example in the soil (soil application).
In one embodiment, commercial products will preferably be formulated as concentrates whereas the end user will normally use dilute formulations.
In a further embodiment, commercial products will preferably be formulated as granules or shaped articles such as sticks, plates tablets.
The compositions according to the invention are also suitable for the treatment of plant propagation material, including genetically modified propagation material, e.g. seed, such as fruit, tubers or grains, or plant cuttings, The propagation material may be treated with the composition before planting, for example seed may be dressed before sowing. The compounds according to the invention may also be applied to seed grains (coating) either by impregnating the grains with a liquid formulation or by coating them with a solid formulation. The composition may also be applied to the planting site when the propagation material is being planted, for example may be applied to the seed furrow during sowing. The invention relates also to that method of treating plant propagation material and to the plant propagation material so treated.
The compounds of formula (I) are normally applied to plant propagation material in the form of compositions, but also can be applied to the seed or to the locus of propagation thereof (such as a furrow), simultaneously or in succession, with further compounds.
These further compounds can be fertilizers or micronutrient donors or other preparations that influence plant growth. They can also be selective pesticides or mixtures of several of these preparations, if desired together with further carriers, surfactants or application-promoting adjuvants customarily employed in the art of formulation.
In connection with the treatment of plant propagation material, favourable rates of application are in general 0.0005 to not more than 1 kg, in particular 0.01-0.8 kg, more particularly 0.1-0.5 kg of one or more compounds selected from the group of agonists and antagonists of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors per 100 kg of material to be protected. However, the application conditions depend essentially on the nature (surface area, consistency, moisture content) of the material and on its environmental factors. Accordingly, within these ranges, those skilled in the art will choose, on the basis of their general body of knowledge and, where appropriate, a few experiments, doses which are non-phytotoxic but effective for improving the plant growth.
The techniques of seed treatment application are well known to those skilled in the art, and they may be used readily in the context of the present invention. The compounds of the formula (I) can be formulated and applied as a slurry, a solid seed coating, a soak, or as a dust on the surface of the seed. There also may be mentioned, e.g., film-coating or encapsulation. The coating processes are well known in the art, and employ, for seeds, the techniques of film-coating or encapsulation, or for the other multiplication products, the techniques of immersion. Needless to say, the method of application of the compounds to the seed may be varied and the invention is intended to include any technique which is to be used.
A preferred method of applying the mixture to the plant propagation material according to the invention consists in spraying or wetting the plant propagation material with a liquid preparation, or mixing the plant material with a solid preparation of the compounds of the formula (I).
The compounds of this invention may be formulated or mixed in the seed treating tank or combined on the seed by overcoating with other seed treating agents. The agents to be mixed with the compounds of this invention may be for the control of pests, or further modification of growth, nutrition, or for the control of plant diseases.
Adhesives which may be mentioned are tackifiers such as carboxymethylcellulose, natural and synthetic polymers in the form of powders, granules or latices, polyvinylpyrrolidone, vinyl-pyrrolidone-styrene copolymers, vinylpyrrolidon-vinylacetat copolymers, polyethyleneglycols or inorganic adhesives such as gypsum or cement. They are present in the mixture in concentrations of from 1 to 30% by weight, preferably from 2 to 20% by weight.
Suitable solid carrier materials are, for example, natural ground minerals such as kaolins, aluminas, talc, chalk, quartz, attapulgite, montmorillonite or diatomaceous earth and synthetic ground minerals such as highly dispersed silicic acid, aluminum oxide and silicates, in addition calcium-phosphates and calcium-hydrogen- phosphates. Suitable solid carrier materials for granules are, for example, crushed and fractionated natural minerals such as calcite, marble, pumice, sepiolite, dolomite and synthetic granules of inorganic and organic ground materials, and also granules of organic material such as sawdust, coconut husks, corn cobs and tobacco stalks.
Further auxiliaries for the preparation of the mixtures according to the invention are disintegrants and surfactants.
Disintegrants are employed in order to promote the release of the active substance in the soil. Corn starch, crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone and specific celluloses are used individually or in combination. The disintegrants are present in concentrations of from 1 to 20% by weight, preferably from 3 to 10% by weight.
Surfactants are employed in order to improve the biological activity of the active substance by solubilization; their content is between 1 to 10% by weight, preferably from 2 to 5% by weight. Nonionic surfactants of the alkyl-aryl-ethoxylate type are appropriate.
In summary, it is seen that this invention provides a new method for improving the plant growth. Variations may be made in proportions, procedures and materials without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the following claims.
The synergistic effect is particularly pronounced when the active compounds in the active compound combinations according to the invention are present in certain weight ratios. However, the weight ratios of the active compounds in the active compound combinations can be varied within a relatively wide range.
The good growth effect of combinations according to the invention is evident from the examples below. While the individual active compounds exhibit weaknesses with regard to the growth effect, the combinations have an activity which exceeds the sum of individual activities.
A synergistic effect is always present when the growth effect of the combinations according to the invention exceed the total of the activities of the active compounds when applied individually. The expected activity for a given combination of two active compounds can be calculated as follows (cf. Colby, S.R., “Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses of Herbicide Combinations”, Weeds 15, (1967), 20-22):
If
The efficacy is calculated in %. 0% is an efficacy which corresponds to that of the control. If the actual growth effect exceeds the calculated value, then the activity of the combination is super additive, i.e. a synergistic effect exists. In this case, the efficacy which was actually observed must be greater than the value for the expected efficacy (E) calculated from the abovementioned formula.
The following examples are intended to illustrate and not to limit the present invention.
The trial was established using a Latin square design (4 treatments with 4 replications each) with 49 ligneous trees per plot for a total of 784 trees in the trial.
Trees: Eucalyptus seedlings (E. globulus)
The four treatments used were
1) control (nil treatment)
2) fertilizer only
3) insecticide (i.e. imidacloprid) only
4) insecticide (i.e. imidacloprid) plus fertilizer
Bonitation of insect infestation and measurement of the height of the treated trees was done 7 months and 12 months after the trial has been started (start of trial: August 2003, bonitations: March 2004 and August 2004)
All results are statistically evaluated having a significance level of 5% . Besides the mean value comparison the Fisher's PLSD test has been applied.
