Abstract

The invention further relates to certain of these mixtures.

1 . (canceled) 
     
     
         2 . A pesticidal mixture comprising as active compounds
 1) at least one compound (I), which is a component of the ginkgo tree selected from the group consisting of bilobalide, ginkgolide A, ginkgolide B, ginkgolide C, ginkgolide J, and ginkgolide M; and   2) at least one pesticidally active compound (II) selected from the group of neonicotinoids consisting of acetamiprid, clothianidin, cycloxaprid, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, thiacloprid and thiamethoxam   
       in a synergistically effective amount, wherein the weight ratio of compound (I) and compound (II) is from 7500:1 to 1:5. 
     
     
         3 . The pesticidal mixture of  claim 2 , wherein the weight ratio of compound (I) to compound (II) is from 5000:1 to 1:5. 
     
     
         4 . A seed treated with the mixture of  claim 2  in an amount of from 0.1 g to 100 kg per 100 kg of seed. 
     
     
         5 . A pesticidal composition comprising a liquid or solid carrier and the mixture of  claim 2 . 
     
     
         6 . A method for controlling pests from the family of Pentatomidae, comprising the step of contacting the pests, their food supply, habitat or breeding grounds with the mixture of  claim 2 . 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the Pentatomidae are selected from  Acrosternum  spp.,  Euschistus  spp.,  Nezara  spp. and  Piezodrus  spp. 
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 6 , wherein the Pentatomidae are selected from  Acrosternum hilare, Euschistus heros, Nezara viridula, Piezodrus guildini, Halyomorpha halys  and  Dichelops  spp.
