Abstract

The present invention provides a method of preventing and killing parasites (specially ticks and tsetse fly) by combined application of amitraz and bifenthrin. The method provides a medicinal composition comprising amitraz and bifenthrin, and applying the medicinal composition for preventing and killing parasites in animals easily injured by parasites.

• A01N 47/40 - Biocides, pest repellants or attractants, or plant growth regulators containing organic compounds containing a carbon atom not being member of a ring and having no bond to a carbon or hydrogen atom, e.g. derivatives of carbonic acid the carbon atom having a double or triple bond to nitrogen, e.g. cyanates, cyanamides
• A01N 53/06 - Esters containing the group , wherein the carbon atom marked with an asterisk is acyclic or part of a ring or ring systemThio-analogues thereof the carbon atom marked with an asterisk being acyclic and directly bound to a carbon atom of a six-membered aromatic ring, e.g. benzyl estersThio-analogues thereof

Abstract

An aqueous suspension concentrate (SC) composition of a crop protection active compound is provided, the concentrate comprising: (a) 50 to 700 g/l of an active ingredient comprising at least one compound active in crop protection; and (b) a concentrate stabilising component consisting of: (i) up to 150 g/l of at least one non-ionic dispersing agent; and/or (ii) to 150 g/l of at least one anionic dispersing agent; and 10 (c) 200 to 800 g/l of water; with the proviso that in the case that the suspension concentrate comprises an active ingredient other than an azole and the concentrate stabilising component consists of an anionic dispersing agent only, the anionic dispersing agent is present in an amount of greater than 30 g/l; or in the case that the suspension concentrate comprises an azole derivative as the active ingredient and the concentrate stabilising component consists of both an anionic dispersing agent and a non-ionic dispersing agent, the anionic dispersing agent is present in an amount of greater than 30 g/l. The suspension concentrate is particularly useful in the formulation of fungicides, in particular azole derivates of the given formula (I), especially tebuconazole.
