The present invention relates to agricultural methods and the use of an insecticidal active carboxamide derivative in seed treatment and soil application methods.

The insecticidal carboxamide derivative is highly suitable alone or in combination with other active agricultural ingredients for controlling animal pests such as insects and/or spider mites and/or nematodes by treating the soil/growth substrate by drenching or drip application or dipping or soil injection.
