The present invention provides a formulation characterised by the simultaneous presence in cyclodextrin based supramolecular complexes, of two components, one of which is a neonicotinoid selected from the group consisting of Thiacloprid and Thiamethoxam and the other possesses an activity synergistic with the first, enhancing its effectiveness. The synergistic component that is able to synergistically enhance the activity of the active principle is piperonyl butoxide, and. Processes for preparing said formulation and its use for the activities herein indicated are further aspects of the present invention.

Biologically active formulation

Provided are compositions comprising (i) a neonicotinoid; and (ii) a compound of formula (I) or (II), preferably wherein the composition is a pesticide composition, for example an insecticide composition. Also provided is use of a compound of formula (I) or (II) as a neonicotinoid synergist and use of a compound of formula (I) or (II) in combination with a neonicotinoid. Further provided are methods for controlling pests.

Compositions and methods for controlling pesticide resistant pests

The present invention provides a formulation characterized by the simultaneous presence in cyclodextrin based supramolecular complexes, of two components, one of which possesses insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal, snailcidal or vermicidal activity and the other possesses an activity synergistic with the first, enhancing its effectiveness. The biologically active substance is chosen from the following classes of chemical products: carbamates, organophosphates, thioureas, pentatomic or hexatomic heterocycles in which 1, 2 or 3 nitrogen atoms are present. The synergistic substance can be chosen from components containing at least one aromatic or non aromatic carbocyclic ring, such as piperonyl butoxide, sesamol, verbutin or MGK 264. For the same dose, the activity of the present formulations is greater than that of the mixture of the two active components alone or separately complexed with cyclodextrin. The process for preparing said formulation and its use for the activities herein indicated are further aspects of the present invention.

The invention relates to the use of a derivative compound of 1,3-benzodioxole of formula (I) wherein R is a linear or branched (C-C)alkyl substituent as a synergistic compound of insecticidal active ingredients insecticidal compositions comprising at least one compound of Formula (I) and at least one insecticidal active ingredient are also described. 

Use of derivative compounds of 1,3-benzodioxole in insecticidal compositions

Described are new insecticide compounds that are derived from 2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylpropenyl)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid, also known as chrysanthemic acid, insecticidal compositions that contain the compounds, methods of synthesizing the compounds and methods of eliminating harmful insects from a substrate including bringing the substrate into contact with an effective amount of one or more such compounds.

Polyenylcyclopropanecarboxylic esters with high insecticidal activity

Use of formulations comprising polyurea microcapsules obtainable by interfacial polymerization of diphenylmethylen-4,4'-diisocyanate (MDI), optionally in admixture with polymethylenepolyphenylisocyanate (PAPI), said formulations having a prolonged knockdown and killing effect longer than at least 3 months, preferably at least of 6 months, still more preferably at least of 9 months from the application, wherein the microcapsules comprise:

Use of formulations having insecticidal activity

A composition comprising an alkynyl phenoxy compound of Formula (I) as a synergist and a pesticidal active ingredient is described, wherein Rand R, similar or different, are (C-C)alkyl or RO&#x2014; and RO&#x2014; together represent a group &#x2014;O&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O&#x2014;, &#x2014;O&#x2014;CH(CH)&#x2014;O, &#x2014;O&#x2014;CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O&#x2014;, &#x2014;O&#x2014;CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;, Ris (C-C)alkyl, (C-C)alkenyl or &#x2014;B&#x2014;(CH&#x2014;CH&#x2014;O)z-Rwhere B is &#x2014;CH&#x2014;O&#x2014; or &#x2014;O&#x2014;, z is 0, 1 or 2 and Ris (C-C)alkyl; Ris hydrogen or methyl; Ris hydrogen or methyl; x is an integer from 1 to 2; y is 0, 1 or 2; with the proviso that when Ris &#x2014;B&#x2014;(CHCH&#x2014;O)z-R, y is 1 and-(propargyloxy)-benzo[1,3]dioxole is excluded.

Process for the preparation of 2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-&#x3b2;-carbolin-3-carboxylic acid esters

The present invention provides a new insecticide formulation based on cyclodextrin characterized in that the active substance (insecticide and/or insect growth regulator), and a compound synergistic with the active substance, are complexed simultaneously with cyclodextrin. The formulation presents as a solid or as a solid/oil composition, and is soluble or completely emulsifiable in water or in aqueous mixtures of water miscible solvents. The activity of the present formulations was found to be greater than that of a mixture of the two active components each complexed separately with cyclodextrin, for the same dose. The preparation process of said formulation and its use as an insecticide in agriculture, for veterinary use or to eliminate household insects, are further aspects of the present invention.

Insecticide formulation

The present invention relates to a new formulation characterised by the presence of two components, one of which (A) possesses insecticidal, acaricidal, fungicidal, snailcidal or vermicidal activity and the other (B) exhibits synergistic activity with the first by enhancing its effectiveness, and in which the average release time of component (A) is 1 to 12 hours later than the average release time of component (B). The formulation is obtained by: a) separate microencapsulation of both components (A) and (B) within a multilayer system of specific polymers in which component (A) is in a more interior portion of the capsule than component (B), being separated from component (B) by a polymer layer of suitable thickness (FIG.); b) microencapsulation of both components within a single layer system (FIG.), combined with an immediate-release emulsion/microemulsion containing an additional amount of component (B).

Innovative formulation

The present invention has as subject, the use of benzodioxole derivatives as modulators of the activity or of the content of protein hydrolases in plants. Such a new use allows the increase of the natural or induced defences of the plant.
