Abstract: The present invention relates to novel pyrazoles of formula I wherein the variables are as defined in the description, a method for controlling invertebrate pests, a method for protecting plant propagation material and/or the plants which grow therefrom, to plant propagation material, comprising at least one compound according to the present invention, and to an agricultural composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to pesticidal mixtures comprising as active compounds 1) at least one pyrazole compound I of formula I wherein the variables are as defined in the description; and 2) at least one active compound II as defined in the description in synergistically effective amounts, further to methods and use of these mixtures for combating insects, arachnids or nematodes in and on plants, and for protecting such plants being infested with pests, especially also for protecting plant propagation material as like seeds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling invertebrate pests, in particular arthropod pests and nematodes, by using pyrazole compounds of formula I and the salts thereof, the tautomers thereof, the N-oxides thereof and the salts of the tautomers or N-oxides thereof, wherein X is N or CH, Y is N or CH, Z is N or CH, provided that either only one of X, Y and Z is N or only two adjacent groups of X, Y and Z are N; and wherein Q is a bivalent 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic radical or a 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic radical having one heteroatom moiety which is selected from the group consisting of O, S, N or N—RQN as ring member and 0, 1 or 2 further heteroatom moieties N as ring members, wherein 0, 1, 2 or 3 of the ring members that are carbon atoms may carry a radical RQ, provided that the pyrazole radical and the 6-membered heteroaromatic radical are bound in ortho- or meta-position of Q with respect to each other, if Q is a 6-membered radical; and wherein RA, if present, is C1-C3-alkyl, C1-C
