BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Flubendiamide is a commercially available com

pound as an agricultural and horticultural insecticide. It is
known that various combinations of ?ubendiamide or its rela
tive compound and an agricultural and horticultural insecti
cide have a complementary effect on the insecticidal spec
trum and that speci?c combinations of them produce a
synergistic effect (for example, see Patent Literature 1 to 5
and Non Patent Literature 1). Dichlorvos and profenofos are

also commercially available compounds as agricultural and

horticultural insecticides (for example, see Patent Literature 6

and 7 and Non Patent Literature 1). However, compositions

comprising a combination of ?ubendiamide and dichlorvos
and/ or profenofos are not known, and it is not known at all that
the insecticidal effect of such a composition is synergistically

greater than that of each compound used separately.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

surrounding soil or cultivation medium of the crops with an
effective amount of an optionally diluted formulation con
taining ?ubendiamide as an active ingredient and an effective

amount of an optionally diluted formulation containing

dichlorvos and/or profenofos as an active ingredient(s), the
two formulations being used separately but in the same

period.
Technical Problem

[0012]

In the production of agricultural produce, the dam

age caused by various insect pests is still large and treatment

with various insecticides is required for control of the insect
pests. Such insecticide treatment imposes a particularly great
burden on farmers, and reducing the treatment operation has
been strongly desired in terms of occupational health, in
particular the reduction of farmers workload, as well as in

terms of economics, in particular the reduction of production

costs of agricultural produce. To this end, various kinds of
agricultural and horticultural insecticide compositions have
been developed. However, in conventional art, effective pest
control cannot be achieved in some cases because of the kind

of insect pest to be controlled, habitat characteristics, devel

opment of insecticide resistance, etc. Under such circum

Advantageous Effects of Invention

[0015]

The present invention relates to an agricultural and

horticultural insecticide composition comprising ?ubendia

mide and dichlorvos and/ or profenofos as active ingredients;
and a method for using the same. The agricultural and horti
cultural insecticide composition and the method have advan
tages over a separate use of each compound, such as remark

able synergistic effect, expansion of the range of target insect

pests, dose reduction, reduction of treatment frequency, etc.
Therefore, the present invention provides a novel technology

for ef?ciently controlling insect pests that have been impos

sible or dif?cult to control by conventional technologies.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

ents of the agricultural and horticultural insecticide compo
sition of the present invention, can be produced according to

purchase. The other active ingredient(s), dichlorvos (also

called DDVP) and profenofos, can be produced according to
the production method disclosed in Patent Literature 6 and 7,
but commercial formulations thereof are also available for

appropriate ratio, and through the step of dissolution, sepa

ene, xylene, solvent naphtha and alkyl naphthalene; haloge

ration, suspension, mixing, impregnation, adsorption and/or

adhesion, are formulated into an appropriate form for appli

[0017] The total content of the active ingredients in the
agricultural and horticultural insecticide composition of the
present invention can be adjusted as needed without particu
lar limitation, but is usually about 0.01 to 90 parts by mass.
For example, in the case where the agricultural and horticul
tural insecticide composition is a dust or a granule, the total
content of the active ingredients is preferably about 0.1 to 30
parts by mass, and in the case where the agricultural and
horticultural insecticide composition is an emulsi?able con
centrate, a wettable powder, a ?owable, a water-dispersible

granule or the like, the total content of the active ingredients

is preferably about 0.1 to 60 parts by mass. The blending ratio
of the active ingredients ?ubendiamide and dichlorvos and/or

profenofos in the agricultural and horticultural insecticide

composition of the present invention is appropriately selected
from the range of 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of dichlorvos and/or

profenofos per part by mass of ?ubendiamide.

formulations may be used as they are. Alternatively, the active
ingredients can be prepared into separate formulations or a

In the use of the agricultural and horticultural insec

scribed formulation(s) containing an active ingredient(s)
is/are optionally diluted or suspended in water etc., and insect
pests are directly treated with, or target crops potentially
infested with the insect pests, seeds of the target crops, soil or
cultivation medium for planting the seeds, or the like are
treated with the optionally diluted or suspended formulation

(s) in an amount (s) effective for insect pest control according

to a usual method. Examples of the treatment method include
spray treatment of foliage etc., treatment of nursery boxes for

paddy rice, seed treatment such as dust coating, dipping and

disinfection of seeds, planting hole treatment, plant foot treat
ment, planting row treatment, drench treatment and soil
incorporation treatment. Also included is treatment of water

culture media in hydroponics.

[0041] The seed treatment may be performed in a usual
manner. The exemplary methods include dipping of seeds in
a diluted or undiluted ?uid of a liquid or solid formulation for

the permeation of agrochemicals into the seeds; mixing, dust

coating or other treatment of seeds with a liquid or solid
formulation for the adherence of agrochemicals onto the sur

faces of the seeds; monolayer or multilayer coating of seeds

covering with soil. In the case of paddy rice, submerged

application of a granule etc. to a paddy ?eld is often per
formed.
[0045] For ?eld crops, such as potato, sweet potato and

soybean, preferred is treatment of their seeds, cultivation

media in the vicinity of plants, or the like in the period of
seeding to seedling culture. For plants of which the seeds are
directly sown in the ?eld, in addition to direct seed treatment,
treatment of cultivation media in the vicinity of plants or the
like during cultivation is preferable. Speci?cally, the treat
ment can be performed by, for example, applying a granule
onto soil, or drenching soil with a formulation in a water

diluted or undiluted liquid form.

[0046] In the case of culture plants to be transplanted,

examples of the treatment in the period of seeding to seedling

culture include, in addition to direct seed treatment, drench
treatment of nursery beds for seedlings with a formulation in

a liquid form; and granule application to nursery beds for

seedlings. Also included are treatment of planting holes with
a granule; and incorporation of a granule into cultivation
media in the vicinity of planting points at the time of ?x

planting.

[0050] The agricultural and horticultural insecticide com

position of the present invention is suitable for controlling a

variety of insect pests Which may damage paddy rice, veg

at 5 and 12 days after the treatment, 20 larvae of the test insect
pest Chilo suppressalis were released into each of the covered

[0068] Transplants ofBrassica oleracea var. capilala (vari

ety: YR Seitoku) were planted in a glass greenhouse, and in
the 12- t0 15-leaf stage, inoculated with 3rd-instar larvae of

Plulella xyloslella. The number of surviving larvae in three

plants per plot before agrochemical treatment was counted
and then spray treatment to the test plants was conducted with
an agrochemical solution diluted to a predetermined concen
tration in an amount equivalent to 800 L/ha. The number of

surviving larvae was counted at 2 and 6 days after the spray

treatment and the control effect was calculated according to

formula 1. In addition, the expected value for the control

effect of the mixed use was calculated according to Colbys

equation shown below. When the control effect of the mixed

use is superior to the expected value, the mixed use is

pots (60 larvae in total per pot). At 29 days after the treatment,
in each pot, the number of damaged stems of the rice plants
was counted, the percentage of damaged stems was calcu
lated, and from this percentage, the control effect was calcu

lated according to formula 2. In addition, the expected value

was calculated according to Colbys equation in the same
manner as in Test Example 1. The results are shown in Table
2.
