The present invention relates to compounds which can be used to control plant development. Indeed, the present invention discloses a new class of pyrabactin analogues which have a physiological effect onfor exampleseed germination, and/or stomatal closure, and/or have developmental effects on root and shoot development and organogenesis. Hence, the latter compounds can be used to control plant development such asfor exampleincreasing the tolerance of plants to drought stress or to control physiological phenomena such as pre-harvest sprouting, tolerance to pathogens etc.

The present invention relates to novel active ingredient combinations which consist of fluopyram and other known active ingredients and are very well suited for the control of animal pests, such as insects and/or unwanted acarids and/or nematodes, in foliar and soil application and/or in the treatment of seeds, and are also suitable for increasing yields.
