Pyrazole compounds for controlling invertebrate pests

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling invertebrate pests which method comprises treating the pests, their food supply, their habitat or their breeding ground or a plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which the pests are growing or may grow, or the materials, plants, seeds, soils, surfaces or spaces to be protected from pest attack or infestation with a pesticidally effective amount of a pyrazole compound of formulae I or II or a salt or an N-oxide thereof, wherein A is a pyrazole radical of the formulae A1 or A2, wherein # denotes the binding; D is a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic radical fused to the pyrazole moiety; R, Rand Rare H, halogen, CN, NO, C-C-alkyl, C-C-alkenyl, C-C-alkynyl, etc.; n is 0 to 4; or two radicals Rbound to the same ring-member may form an oxo substituent, or two radicals Rbound to adjacent ring-members may form a 3- to 7-membered fused cyclic radical; B is N or CR, wherein Ris H, halogen, CN, NO, C-C-alkyl, C-C-haloalkyl, C-C-alkoxy, etc.; Xis S, O or NR, wherein Ris H, C-C-alkyl, etc.; Xis O, NRRor S(O)R, wherein m is 0, 1 or 2; Ris C-C-alkyl, C-C-haloalkyl, C-C-cycloalkyl, etc.; R, Rare H, C-C-alkyl, C-C-haloalkyl, C-C-cycloalkyl, etc.; Ris C-C-alkyl, C-C-haloalkyl, C-C-cycloalkyl, etc.; Ris H, CN, C-C-alkyl, C-C-haloalkyl, C-C-cycloalkyl, etc.; R, Rand Rare H, halogen, CN, NO, C-C-alkyl, C-C-haloalkyl, C-C-alkoxy, etc., to a method for protecting plant propagation material and/or the plants which grow threfrom, to plant propagation material comprising at least one compound of formulae I or II, to a method for treating or protecting an animal from infestation or infection by parasites, to novel pyrazole compounds of formulae I or II and agricultural composition containing those compounds.
