Compounds of the formula (I-a) are obtained by customary methods of optical resolution, such as, for example, by chromatographing the corresponding racemates on a chiral stationary phase. It is possible to separate either the racemic end products or racemic intermediates in this way into the two enantiomers. 5
Saturated hydrocarbon radicals such as alkyl, alone or in conjunction ,with heteroatoms, such as in alkoxy, for example, may where possible in each case be straight-chain or branched.
10 The radical definitions and elucidations set out above in general or in ranges of

When used as insecticides, the active compounds according to the invention, can
furthermore be present in their commercially available formulations and in the use
forms, prepared from these formulations, as a mixture with synergistic agents. Syner-
gistic agents are compounds which increase the action of the active compounds
5 according to the invention, without it being necessary for the synergistic agent added
to be active itself.
The active compound content of the use forms prepared from the commercially
available formulations can vary within wide limits. The active compound concen-
10 tration of the use forms can be from 0.0000001 to 95% by weight of active com-
pound, preferably between 0.0001 and 1% by weight.
The compounds are employed in a customary manner appropriate for the use forms.
15 When used against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, the active compound
is distinguished by an excellent residual action on wood and clay as well as a good stability to alkali on limed substrates.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according
20 to the invention. In a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or
those obtained by conventional biological breeding, such as crossing or protoplast
fusion, and parts thereof, are treated. In a further preferred embodiment, transgenic
plants and plant cultivars obtained by genetic engineering, if appropriate in
combination with conventional methods (Genetically Modified Organisms), and
25 parts thereof are treated. The term "parts" or "parts of plants" or "plant parts" has
been explained above.
Particularly preferably, plants of the plant cultivars which are in each case commercially available or in use are treated according to the invention. 30

/ Depending on the plant species or plant cultivars, their location, and growth
conditions (soils, climate, vegetation period, diet), the treatment according to^the
invention may also result in superadditive ("synergistic") effects Thus, for example;
reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity spectrum and/or an-

5 increase in the activity of the substances and compositions to be used according to
the invention, better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low tempeifatures,
increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering
performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better
quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage
10 stability and/or processability of the harvested products are possible which exceed
the effects which were actually to be expected.
The preferred transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetic engineering) which are to be treated according to the invention include all plants
15 which, in the genetic modification, received genetic material which imparted
particular advantageous useful properties ("traits") to these plants. Examples of such properties are better plant growth, increased tolerance to high or low temperatures, increased tolerance to drought or to water or soil salt content, increased flowering performance, easier harvesting, accelerated maturation, higher harvest yields, better
20 quality and/or a higher nutritional value of the harvested products, better storage
stability and/or processability of the harvested products. Further and particularly emphasized examples of such properties are a better defence of the plants against animal and microbial pests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also increased tolerance of the plants to certain
25 herbicidally active compounds. Examples of transgenic plants which may be
mentioned are the important crop plants, such as cereals (wheat, rice), maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus fruits and grapevines), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton and oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized are in particular
30 increased defence of the plants against insects by toxins formed in the plants, in
particular those formed by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for

example by the genes CrylA(a), CrylA(b), CrylA(c), CryllA, CrylllAf CryfttB2,
Cry9c, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb and CrylF and also combinations thereof) (hereinbelow
referred to as "Bt plants"). Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the '
increased tolerance of the plants to certain herbicidally active compounds, for
5 example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or phosphinotricin (for example
the "PAT" gene). The genes which impart the desired traits in question can also be present in combination with one another in the transgenic plants. Examples of "Bt plants" which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties, soya bean varieties and potato varieties which are sold under the trade names YIELD GARD®
10 (for example maize, cotton, soya beans), KnockOut® (for example maize),
StarLink® (for example maize), Bollgard® (cotton), Nucotn® (cotton) and NewLeaf® (potato). Examples of herbicide-tolerant plants which may be mentioned are maize varieties, cotton varieties and soya bean varieties which are sold under the trade names Roundup Ready® (tolerance to glyphosate, for example maize, cotton,
15 soya bean), Liberty Link® (tolerance to phosphinotricin, for example oilseed rape),
IMI® (tolerance to imidazolinones) and STS® (tolerance to sulphonylureas, for example maize). Herbicide-resistant plants (plants bred in a conventional manner for herbicide tolerance) which may be mentioned include the varieties sold under the name Clearfield® (for example maize). Of course, these statements also apply to
20 plant cultivars having these or still to be developed genetic traits, which plants will
be developed and/or marketed in the future.
The plants listed can be treated according to the invention in a particularly
advantageous manner with the compounds of the general formula (I) or the active
25 compound mixtures according to the invention. The preferred ranges stated above for
the active compounds or mixtures also apply to the treatment of these plants. Particular emphasis is given to the treatment of plants with the compounds or the mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.
30 The active compounds according to the invention act not only against plant, hygiene
and stored product pests, but also in the veterinary medicine sector against animal

The compounds according to the invention can at the same time be employed for protecting objects which come into contact with saltwater or brackish water, such as hulls, screens, nets, buildings, moorings and signalling systems, against fouling.
10 Fouling by sessile Oligochaeta, such as Serpulidae, and by shells and species from
the Ledamorpha group (goose barnacles), such as various Lepas and Scalpellum species, or by species from the Balanomorpha group (acorn barnacles), such as Balanus or Pollicipes species, increases the frictional drag of ships and, as a consequence, leads to a marked increase in operation costs owing to higher energy
15 consumption and additionally frequent residence in the dry dock.
Apart from fouling by algae, for example Ectocarpus sp. and Ceramium sp., fouling by sessile Entomostraka groups, which come under the generic term Cirripedia (cirriped crustaceans), is of particular importance. 20
Surprisingly, it has now been found that the compounds according to the invention, alone or in combination with other active compounds, have an outstanding antifouling action.
25 Using the compounds according to the invention, alone or in combination with other
active compounds, allows the use of heavy metals such as, for example, in bis(trialkyltin) sulphides, tri-H-butyltin laurate, tri-«-butyltin chloride, copper(I) oxide, triethyltin chloride, tri-«-butyl(2-phenyl-4-chlorophenoxy)tin, tributyltin oxide, molybdenum disulphide, antimony oxide, polymeric butyl titanate, phenyl-
30 (bispyridine)-bismuth chloride, tri-w-butyltin fluoride, manganese ethylenebisthio-

To produce a suitable preparation of active compound, 1 part by weight of active
10 compound is mixed with the stated amount of solvent, the stated amount of
emulsifier is added and the concentrate is diluted with water to the desired concentration.
The preparation of active compound is poured onto the soil. Here, the concentration
15 of the active compound in the preparation is virtually immaterial; only the amount by
weight of active compound per volume unit of soil, which is stated in ppm (mg/1), matters. The soil is filled into 0.25 1 pots, and these are allowed to stand at 20°C.
Immediately after the preparation, 5 pregerminated maize corns of the cultivar
20 YIELD GUARD (trade mark of Monsanto Comp., USA) are placed into each pot.
After 2 days, the corresponding test insects are placed into the treated soil. After a further 7 days, the efficacy of the active compound is determined by counting the number of maize plants that have emerged (1 plant = 20% activity).
