Abstract: The present invention provides a method to control parasitic mites on beneficial insects, such as honeybees, via the application of a parasiticidally effective amount of tebufenpyrad.

Abstract: There is provided a process for the preparation of 2-aryl-5-(perfluoroalkyl)pyrrole compounds from N-(arylmethylene)-1-chloro-1-(perfluoroalkyl)methylamine compounds. The 2-aryl-5-(perfluoroalkyl)pyrrole compounds are useful for the control of insect and acarid pests, and may also be used to prepare other pesticidal arylpyrrole compounds.In addition, the present invention provides N-(arylmethylene)-1-chloro-1-(perfluoroalkyl)methylamine compounds which are useful as intermediates in the preparation of arylpyrrole compounds.

Abstract: There is provided a method for inhibiting or preventing injury to a corn plant caused by the synergistic interaction of an organophosphate compound employed for the protection of the plant against attack by insects and nematodes and the use of an acetohydroxyacid synthase-inhibiting compound employed for the control of undesirable weed species in the locus of the plant comprising the application of an effective amount of naphthalic anhydride, the dipotassium salt of naphthalic acid, dicamba, 2,4-D, dichlormid, butyl 2-[(5-chloro-8-quinolyl)oxy]acetimidate, butyl [(5-chloro-8-quinolyl)oxy]acetate, 1-methylhexyl 2-[(5-chloro-8-quinolyl)oxy]acetate or 1-carbethoxyethyl-3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate. There is also provided a safened insecticidal composition.
