This invention relates to mixtures with insecticidal properties comprising two or more active ingredients, to compositions containing them and to methods of controlling unwanted pests using such mixtures or compositions. More particularly, the invention relates to mixtures containing gamma- 10 cyhalothrin [(S)-a-cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl(Z)-(lR,3/?)-3-(2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoro-l-propenyl)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate] and another compound having insecticidal, nematicidal, acaricidal, molluscicidal, fungicidal, plant growth regulating or herbicidal activity, to compositions containing the 2012201147 mixture and to insecticidal methods using such mixtures or compositions. The discussion of documents, acts, materials, devices, articles and the like is included in this 15 specification solely for the purpose of providing a context for the present invention. It is not suggested or represented that any or all of these matters formed part of the prior art base or were common general knowledge in the field relevant to the present invention as it existed before the priority date of each claim of this application. Where the terms "comprise", "comprises", "comprised" or "comprising" are used in this 20 specification (including the claims) they are to be interpreted as specifying the presence of the stated features, integers, steps or components, but not precluding the presence of one or more other features, integers, steps or components, or group thereof. Compounds having insecticidal, nematicidal, acaricidal, molluscicidal, fungicidal, plant growth regulating or herbicidal activity are hereinafter referred to as active ingredients. 25 (S)-a-Cyano-3 -phenoxybenzy l(Z)-( 1 R,3R)-3 -(2-chloro-3,3,3 -tri fluoro-1 -propeny 1)-2,2- dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate and its insecticidal activity was disclosed by Bentley et al, Pestic. Sci. (1980), 11(2), 156-64.

  • By USDA APHIS BRS Document Control Officer at 2:18 Pm, Dec 11
    CBI Deleted EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of the United States (U.S.) Department of Agriculture (USDA) has responsibility under the Plant Protection Act (Title IV Pub. L. 106-224, 114 Stat. 438, 7 U.S.C. § 7701-7772) to prevent the introduction and dissemination of plant pests into the U.S. APHIS regulation 7 CFR § 340.6 provides that an applicant may petition APHIS to evaluate submitted data to determine that a particular regulated article does not present a plant pest risk and no longer should be regulated. If APHIS determines that the regulated article does not present a plant pest risk, the petition is granted, thereby allowing unrestricted introduction of the article. Monsanto Company is submitting this request to APHIS for a determination of nonregulated status for the new biotechnology-derived maize product, MON 87429, any progeny derived from crosses between MON 87429 and conventional maize, and any progeny derived from crosses of MON 87429 with biotechnology-derived maize that have previously been granted nonregulated status under 7 CFR Part 340. Product Description Monsanto Company has developed herbicide tolerant MON 87429 maize, which is tolerant to the herbicides dicamba, glufosinate, aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (ACCase) inhibitors (so called “FOPs” herbicides such as quizalofop) and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).

The standard will replace the current MRL Standard (GB 2763-2014) and will be implemented on June 18, 2017. This report provides an unofficial translation of the standard. Editors’ Note: The asterisk appearing in the MRL column means that the limit is a temporary MRL. A temporary MRL is usually set under the following four conditions: 1. The dietary risk assessment data is incomplete; 2. The Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is temporary (ADI is used as the basis for MRL setting); 3. There is no surveillance or analysis method for the MRL that complies with the standard requirements; 4. In emergency situations, the pesticide is approved to be used on un-registered crops.

  • Evaluation of Post Emergence Herbicides on Weed Control, Performance and Profitability of Rice (Oryza Sativa) at Lafiagi, Kwara State of Nigeria
    Libyan Agriculture Research Center Journal International 3 (5): 236-240, 2012 ISSN 2219-4304 © IDOSI Publications, 2012 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.larcji.2012.3.5.1105 Evaluation of Post Emergence Herbicides on Weed Control, Performance and Profitability of Rice (Oryza sativa) at Lafiagi, Kwara State of Nigeria Ibrahim Usman College of Agriculture, Ahmadu Bello University, Samaru, Zaria, Nigeria Abstract: Field experiments were conducted in 2009 and 2010 wet seasons at Lafiagi, Kwara state in the Northern Guinea Savannah of Nigeria to evaluate the effect of some post emergence herbicides on weed control, performance and profitability of rice. The treatments consisted of four post emergence herbicides (450g pretilachlor + 30g pyribenzoxim, 3600g propanil + 2000g 2, 4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid, 40g bisbyribac sodium and 1020g pretilachlor + 1980g propanil), two hoe weeding at 6 and 9 WAS and the unweeded plot. The application rates were based on the manufacturers’ recommendations. The treatments were laid out in a randomized complete block design replicated three times. Data on weed cover score, weed dry matter, crop injury, crop vigour, crop stand and grain yields were collected. Gross margin and cost benefit analysis were employed to determine the profitability of each of the control methods. From the results all the herbicides were similar in their effect on weed control and crop growth. The effect of herbicide treatments on rice yield were comparable to hoe weeding and significantly higher than unweeded treatments. The application of 40g/lha 1 of bisbyribac sodium and application of 450g pretilachlor + 30g pyribenzoxim as post emergence herbicides applied at 6 WAS gave the highest gross margin and Cost- benefit ratio over hand weeding respectively and are therefore considered as the best post emergence herbicides in rice among the evaluated herbicides in the study area.
