Pesticidally active mixtures The present invention relates to mixtures of active ingredients having synergistically enhanced action and to methods comprising applying said mixtures. One typical problem arising in the field of pest control lies in the need to reduce the dosage rates of the active ingredient in order to reduce or avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects whilst still allowing effective pest control. Another problem encountered concerns the need to have available pest control agents which are effective against a broad spectrum of pests. There also exists the need for pest control agents that combine knock-down activity with prolonged control, that is, fast action with long lasting action. Another difficulty in relation to the use of pesticides is that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual pesticidal compound leads in many cases to a rapid selection of pests which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Therefore there is a need for pest control agents that help prevent or overcome resistance induced by pesticides. Furthermore, there is a desire for pesticide compounds or combination of compounds, which when applied improve plants, which may result in "plant health", "vitality of plant propagation material" or "increased plant yield". It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide agricultural combinations which solves one or more than one of the discussed problems as - reducing the dosage rate, - enhancing the spectrum of activity, - combining knock-down activity with prolonged control, - improving resistance management, - Improved plant health; - Improved vitality of plant propagation material, also termed seed vitality; - Increased plant yield.. It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide pesticidal mixtures which solve at least one of the discussed problems as reducing the dosage rate, enhancing the spectrum of activity or combining knock-down activity with prolonged control or as to resistance management. It has been found that this object is in part or in whole achieved by the combination of active compounds defined below. The present invention relates to pesticidal mixtures comprising as active compounds 1) at least one pesticidally active anthranilamide compound of formula (I): wherein R is selected from the group consisting of H, F, C I, Br and C N; R2 is selected from the group consisting of F, CI, Br, I, CH3; R3 is selected from the group consisting of Br, CI, C HF2, CF3 and OCH2F; 4 R is C I or C F3; R5, R6 are selected independently of one another from the group consisting of hydrogen, Ci-C4-alkyl, Cs-Cs-cycloalkyl, or R and R6 together represent a C2-C7-alkylene, C2-C7-alkenylene or C 6-Cg-alkynylene chain forming together with the sulfur atom to which they are attached a 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9- or 10-membered saturated, partially unsaturated or fully unsaturated ring, k is Oor l ; or a stereoisomer, salt, tautomer or N-oxide, or a polymorphic crystalline form, a co-crystal or a solvate of a compound or a stereoisomer, salt, tautomer or N-oxide thereof; and 2) at least one pesticidally active compound of formula ( II) wherein 2 R is H, Ci-C 2-alkyl, or Ci-C 2-alkoxy-Ci-C 2-alkyl; R22 is CH3, or halomethyl; 23 R is C N, C2-C6-alkyl, -C6-haloalkyl, Ci-C 2-alkoxy-Ci-C 2-alkyl, C2-C6-alkenyl and C2- C 6-alkynyl, C3-C6 -cycloalkyl, Cs-Ce-cycloalkenyl, Ci-C6-alkoxy, wherein the C-atoms may be unsubstituted, or partially or fully substituted by Ra; R24 is Ci-C4-alkyl, or a group mentioned for R23; or R23 and R24 may together form a five- to six-membered carbocycle, which may be substituted by Ra; R25 is H, or a group mentioned for R24 ; a R is halogen, CN, Ci-C2-alkyl, Ci-C2-haloalkyl, Ci-C4 -alkoxy, Ci-C2-haloalkoxy, and the stereoisomers, salts, tautomers and N-oxides thereof; in synergistically effective amounts. The compounds of formula (I) are also referred to as compounds of formula I or compounds I. The compounds of formula (II) are also referred to as compounds of formula II or compounds II. Both compounds of formula (I) and compounds of formula (II) are referred to as "compound(s) of the present invention". Moreover, it has been found that simultaneous, that is joint or separate, application of one or more active compound(s) I and one or more compound(s) II or successive application (that is immediately one after another and thereby creating the mixture "in-situ" on the desired location, as e.g. the plant) of one or more active compound(s) I and one or more active compound(s) II allows enhanced control of pests compared to the control rates that are possible with the individual compounds. Therefore, the term "mixture" as used herein is intended to include also combinations. The present invention also provides methods for the control of insects, acarids or nematodes comprising contacting the insect, acarid or nematode or their food supply, habitat, breeding grounds or their locus with a pesticidally effective amount of mixtures of at least one active compound I with at least one active compound II. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a method of protecting plants from attack or infestation by insects, acarids or nematodes comprising contacting the plant, or the soil or water in which the plant is growing, with a pesticidally effective amount of a mixture of at least one active compound I with at least one active compound II. The invention also provides a method for the protection of plant propagation material, preferably seeds, from soil insects and of the seedlings' roots and shoots from soil and foliar insects which comprises contacting the plant progagation material as e.g. the seeds before sowing and/or after pregermination with a pesticidally effective amount of a mixture of at least one active compound I with at least one active compound II. The invention also provides seeds comprising a mixture of at least one active compound I with at least one active compound II. The invention also provides pesticidal compositions, comprising a liquid or solid carrier and a mixture of at least one active compound I with at least one active compound II.

Reduction in the yield and quality of coffee results from the adult female CBB boring into the coffee fruit and building galleries for reproduction, followed by larval feeding on the bean itself. This review examines the invasion biology of CBB in various coffee-growing regions throughout the world, comparing and contrasting patterns in historically invaded countries with those that were more recently invaded. The situation in Hawaii is highlighted as a case study for the development and implementation of a successful integrated pest management (IPM) program following 10 years of research and outreach.

  • 4 Berry-Feeding Insects
    4 Berry-feeding Insects Introduction Many of the insects that feed on green berries are also found on leaves or green shoots, and these are dealt with in Chapter 5. These include scale insects (Coccoidea) of various kinds, leaf-eating caterpillars (Lepidoptera) in several families, mites (Acari) and some Orthoptera, including grasshoppers and tree crickets. The insects dealt with in this chapter include the more important species that feed primarily on berries, although Antestia bugs can damage green shoots also. Coffee Berry Borer Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) [Coleoptera: Scolytidae] Morphology The female adult beetle is 1.5–2.0 mm long × 1 mm wide; the adult male is smaller, but this can vary somewhat from place to place, American specimens being somewhat smaller than Old World specimens. When first emerging, the beetle is brown, but as it matures over the next few days it becomes black, with a reddish tinge to the thorax. The pupae are a similar length to the adult and the larvae are a little smaller, having a white body and brown head (see Fig. 4.1). © J.M. Waller, M. Bigger and R.J. Hillocks 2007. Coffee Pests, Diseases and their 68 Management (J.M. Waller, M. Bigger and R.J. Hillocks) Berry-feeding Insects 69 Fig. 4.1. Adult and larva of Hypothenemus hampei. Pest status and distribution A serious pest in many countries of low-altitude arabica and robusta coffee (CABI, 1981). Damage by the coffee berry borer is rarely severe at altitudes > 1370 m, and this species has not been found > 1680 m. The centre of origin of the species is in some doubt, but must have been somewhere in West or Central Africa.
