The novel active ingredient combinations of compounds of the formula (I) and the mixing partners (B-1), (B-2), (B-3), (B-4), (B-5) detailed in the description have very good insecticidal, nematicidal and/or acaricidal properties.

The present invention provides novel sulphonamide inhibitors of cystathionin gamma synthase (CGS), their use as selective and non-selective herbicides, agricultural and non-agricultural herbicides, herbicides in integrated pest management, herbicides for gardening, clearing waste ground, clearing industrial or constructions sites, clearing railways and railway embankments, pesticide, fungicide, agricultural plant stimulant or antimicrobial agent. Also provided is a method for the control of undesired vegetation or clearing areas from the undesired vegetation comprising applying to the locus of said undesired vegetation, to the undesired plants or to a habitat thereof, a herbicidally effective amount of the compound of the present invention.

A species of Burkholderia sp with no known pathogenicity to vertebrates but with pesticidal activity (e.g., plants, insects, fungi, weeds and nematodes) is provided. Also provided are natural products derived from a culture of said species and methods of controlling pests using said natural products.

##STR00001##

The present invention relates to certain heterocyclic compounds of formula (1) that have the ability to inhibit lysine biosynthesis via the diaminopimelate biosynthesis pathway in certain organisms. As a result of this activity these compounds can be used in applications where inhibition of lysine biosynthesis is useful. Applications of this type include the use of the compounds as herbicides.
