Abstract: The subject invention is based on unexpected more than additive effect of multiple applications of at least one cyclopropene on crop yield as compared to single applications. Provided are methods of increasing yield of a plant comprising contacting the plant with multiple applications of a cyclopropene. In one aspect, the method comprises (a) contacting the plant with a first composition comprising a cyclopropene; and (b) contacting the plant with a second composition comprising a cyclopropene; thereby increasing the yield of the plant in comparison to a plant not contacted with the first composition and/or the second composition. In another aspect, the method comprises contacting the plant with two or more separate applications of a composition comprising at least one cyclopropene thereby increasing the yield of the plant in comparison to a plant not treated or contacted with two or more separate applications of a composition comprising at least one cyclopropene.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pesticidal mixtures comprising a component A and a component B, wherein component A is a compound of formula (I) wherein A1, A2, R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 are as defined in claim 1, and one of Y1 and Y2 is S, SO or SO2 and the other is CH2 and component B is a fungicide as defined in claim 1, The present invention also relates to methods of using said mixtures for the control of plant pests.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel fungicidal two-component compositions based on metalaxyl having an R-enantiomer content of more than 70% by weight as one essential component and a second fungicidal component, for the treatment of phytopathogenic diseases of crop plants, especially phytopathogenic fungi, and to a method of combating phytopathogenic diseases on crop plants. The metalaxyl component is called active ingredient I.
