Use of insecticides in pest control

Abstract

There is now described a method of controlling pests with pymetrozine, profenofos, a benzoylurea-derivative or a carbamat-derivative; more specifically a method of controlling pests in and on transgenic crops of useful plants, such as, for example, in crops of maize, cereals, soya beans, tomatoes, cotton, potatoes, rice and mustard, with pymetrozine, profenofos, a benzoylurea-derivative, especially lufenuron; or a carbamat-derivative, especially fenoxycarb; characterized in that a pesticidal composition comprising pymetrozine, profenofos, a benzoylurea-derivative or a carbamat-derivative, in free form or in agrochemically useful salt form and at least one auxiliary is applied to the pests or their environment, in particular to the crop plant itself.

1 . Method of controlling pests in crops of transgenic useful plants, characterized in that a pesticidal composition comprising pymetrozine, profenofos, a benzoylurea-derivative or a carbamat-derivative, in free form or in agrochemically useful salt form as active ingredient and at least one auxiliary is applied to the pests or their environment.  
     
     
         2 . Method according to  claim 1 , characterized in that pymetrozine is employed.  
     
     
         3 . Method according to  claim 1 , characterized in that lufenuron is employed.  
     
     
         4 . Method according to  claim 1 , characterized in that fenoxycarb is employed.  
     
     
         5 . Method according to  claim 1 , characterized in that profenofos is employed.  
     
     
         6 . Method according to anyone of  claims 1  to  5 , characterized in that the transgenic plant is treated.  
     
     
         7 . Method according to any one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that the transgenic crop of useful plants is maize.  
     
     
         8 . Method according to any one of  claims 1  to  6 , characterized in that the transgenic crop of useful plants is soya beans.  
     
     
         9 . Method according to  claim 6 , characterized in that the propagation material of the transgenic useful plant is treated.
