1 - 35 . (canceled) 
     
     
         36 . A mixture comprising, as active components,
 1) bifenthrin; and   2) fluoxastrobin;
 in synergistic effective amounts. 
   
     
     
         37 . The mixture according to  claim 36 , wherein the ratio by weight of bifenthrin to fluoxastrobin is from 1:500 to 500:1. 
     
     
         38 . The mixture according to  claim 36 , wherein the ratio by weight of bifenthrin to fluoxastrobin is from 1:100 to 100:1. 
     
     
         39 . A pesticidal composition, comprising a liquid or solid carrier and a mixture as defined in  claim 36 . 
     
     
         40 . A method for controlling pests and/or improving the health of plants, wherein
 (a) the pest, their habitat, breeding grounds, their locus or the plants to be protected against pest attack, the soil or plant propagation material; or   (b) the plant, the locus where the plant is growing or is expected to grow or plant propagation material from which the plant grows;   are treated with an effective amount of a mixture as defined in  claim 36 .   
     
     
         41 . A method for protection of plant propagation material from pests comprising contacting the plant propagation materials with a mixture as defined in  claim 36  in pesticidally effective amounts. 
     
     
         42 . A method as claimed in  claim 41 , wherein the mixture as defined in claim  16  is applied in an amount of from 0.01 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of plant propagation materials. 
     
     
         43 . A method as claimed in  claim 40 , wherein the compounds as defined in claim  16  are applied simultaneously, that is jointly or separately, or in succession. 
     
     
         44 . Plant propagation material, comprising the mixture as defined in  claim 36  in an amount of from 0.01 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of plant propagation materials.
