and preparations comprising insecticidal active plant extracts, nematodes, fungi or viruses.
A mixture with other known active compounds, such as herbicides, fertilizers, growth regulators,
safeners and/or semiochemicals is also possible.
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. Synergistic agents are compounds, which increase
%•. action of the active compounds, without it being necessary for the synergistic agent added to be
active itself.
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 inhibitors which reduce degradation of the active compound after use
in the vicinity of the plant, on the surface of parts of plants or in plant tissues.
The content of the active compounds of the formula (T) of the present invention in a commercially
useful application form can be varied in a wide range.
The concentration of the active compounds of the formula (!) of the present invention at the time of
actual usage can be, for example, in the range of 0.0000001-100% by weight, preferably 0.00001-1%
byweight. .
The pompounds of the formula (I) of the present invention can be applied by usual methods suitable
to the application forms.
In case of application against hygiene pests and pests of stored products, the active compounds of the
present invention have a good stability against alkali on limed .substrates and further show an
excellent residual effectiveness on wood and soil.
As already mentioned above, it is possible to treat all plants and their parts according to the invention. In
a preferred embodiment, wild plant species and plant cultivars, or those obtained by conventional
biological breeding methods, 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 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. Plant cultivars are to be understood as meaning plants
having certain properties ("traits") which have been obtained ;by conventional breeding, by
mutagenesis or by recombinant DNA techniques. These can be cultivars, bio- or genotypes.
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
("syneigistic") effects. Thus, for example, reduced application rates and/or a widening of the activity
jpctrum and/or an 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 temperatures, 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 stability and/or processability of the harvested products
are possible which exceed the effects which were-actually to be expected.
The transgenic plants or plant cultivars (i.e. those obtained by genetic engineering) which are preferably
to be treated according to the invention include all plants which, in the genetic modification, received
genetic material which imparted particularly advantageous useful traits to these plants. Examples of
such trails 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 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 traits are a better defence of the plants against animal and
microbialpests, such as against insects, mites, phytopathogenic fungi, bacteria and/or viruses, and also
increased tolerance of the plants to certain 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, tobacco, oilseed rape and also fruit plants (with the fruits apples, pears, citrus
fruits and grapes), and particular emphasis is given to maize, soya beans, potatoes, cotton, tobacco and
oilseed rape. Traits that are emphasized are in particular increased defence of the plants against insects,'
arachnids, nematodes and worms by toxins formed in the plants, in particular those formed in the plants
by the genetic material from Bacillus thuringiensis (for example by the genes CryIA(a), CryIA(b),
CryIA(c), CryllA, CrylUA, CryHIB2, Cry9c, Cry2Ab, CrySBb and CryEF and also combinations
thereof) (hereinbelow referred to as "Bt plants")- Traits that are also particularly emphasized are the
increased defence of the plants against fungi, bacteria and viruses by systemic acquired resistance
(SAR), systemin, phytoalexius, elicitors and resistance genes and correspondingly expressed proteins
and toxins. Traits that are furthermore particularly emphasized are the increased tolerance of the plants
to certain herbicidally active compounds, for example imidazolinones, sulphonylureas, glyphosate or
phosphinotricin (for example the 'TAT" 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® (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., soya bean), Liberty Link® (tolerance to
p|«sphinotricinj for example oilseed rape), IMT® (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 plant cultivars having these genetic traits
or genetic traits still to be developed, 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 and/or the active 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 mixtures specifically mentioned in the present text.
Then the present invention will be described more specifically by examples. The present invention,
however, should not be restricted only to them in any way.

10 larvae ofSpodoptera litura at the third instar were placed on the leaves and kept in a room at the
constant temperature of 25°C. After 2 and 4 days further leaves of sweet potato were added and after
7 days the number of dead larvae was counted and the rate of death was calculated.
