A BVP8 protein for killing tetranychid mites and use thereof are provided. The protein is as set forth in SEQ ID NO. 2. The BVP8 protein has a median lethal concentration of 12.98 μg/mL against Tetranychus urticae, 33.45 μg/mL against Panonychus citri, and 26.32 μg/mL against Tetranychus cinnabarinus, and shows an inhibitory effect against the hatching and cleavage of Tetranychus urticae eggs, with the egg cleavage rate of 75.86% after 72 h. The protein provides a new option for the preparation of a novel miticide.

The present invention relate to a pesticidal composition comprising elemental sulphur, choline salt of pelargonic acid, and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient. The invention particularly relate to a pesticidal composition comprising elemental sulphur in the range of 1% w/w to 95% w/w of the total composition; choline salt of pelargonic acid present in the range of 0.01% to 50% w/w of the total composition; and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient. The pesticidal composition comprises particles in the size range of 0.1 micron to 50 microns. The present invention also relates to process of preparation of the pesticidal composition. The invention relates to a method of treating a plant, crop, plant propagation material, locus or parts thereof, a seed, seedling or surrounding soil with a pesticidal composition.

The present invention relates to novel heteroaryl-triazole compounds of the general formula (I), in which the structural elements X, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 have the meaning given in the description, to formulations and compositions comprising such compounds and for their use in the control of animal pests including arthropods and insects in plant protection and to their use for control of ectoparasites on animals.
