Description

EXAMPLE A

[0200] Aphis gossypii—Spray Test

[0201] Solvent: 7 parts by weight of dimethylformamide

[0202] Emulsifier: alkylaryl polyglycol ether

[0203] To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent and is diluted with water, containing an emulsifier concentration of 1000 ppm, to the desired concentration. Further test concentrations are prepared by dilution with emulsifier containing water. Ammonium salt and/or penetration enhancer in a dosage of 1000 ppm are added to the desired concentration if necessary.

[0204] Cotton leaves (Gossypium hirsutum) which are heavily infested with the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii) are treated by being sprayed with the preparation of the active compound of the desired concentration.

[0205] After the specified period of time the mortality in % is determined. 100% means all the aphids have been killed; 0% means none of the aphids have been killed. The mortality values determined thus are recalculated using the Colby-formula (see sheet 1).

[0206] According to the present application in this test e.g. the following combination shows a synergistic effect in comparison to the single compounds:

EXAMPLE B

[0207] Myzus persicae—Spray Test

[0208] Solvent: 7 parts by weight of dimethylformamide

[0209] Emulsifier: alkylaryl polyglycol ether

[0210] To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent and is diluted with water, containing an emulsifier concentration of 1000 ppm, to the desired concentration. Further test concentrations are prepared by dilution with emulsifier containing water. Ammonium salt in a dosage of 1000 ppm is added to the desired concentration.

[0211] Cabbage leaves (Brassica oleracea) which are heavily infested by the green peach aphid (Myzus persicae) are treated by being sprayed with the preparation of the active compound of the desired concentration.

[0212] After the specified period of time mortality in % is determined. 100% means all the aphids have been killed; 0% means none of the aphids have been killed. The mortality values determined thus are recalculated using the Colby-formula (see sheet 1).

[0213] According to the present application in this test e.g. the following combinations show a synergistic effect in comparison to the single compounds:
