Abstract: Agrochemical combinations including an effective amount of an insecticide which includes an insecticide from the chloronicotinyl family A such as imidacloprid, acetamiprid or nitenpyram, and an insecticide B having a pyrazole, pyrrole or phenylimidazole group; compositions containing one or both of said two active substances; and a method for treating and protecting plants, and seeds in particular, from insects or arthropods, by applying a combination of both active substances, are disclosed. A composition containing both active substances may also be applied. Alternatively, two compositions each containing one of the active substances may be applied simultaneously or sequentially to ensure a combined effect.

Abstract: Agrochemical combinations containing an effective amount of a fungicide having an azole group and an effective amount of an insecticide having a pyrazole, pyrrole or phenylimidazole group; compositions based on each of the two active substances or containing only one of these; and a method for treating plants and seeds in particular to protect them from diseases and insects by applying a combination of the two active substances, are disclosed. The method may include applying a single composition containing both active substances or applying two compositions each containing one of the active substances either at the same time or one after the other to achieve a combined effect.

Abstract: Artificial seeds, characterized in that they consist of:a meristematic tissue,a support in contact with said meristematic tissue, and preferably surrounding said meristematic tissue on all sides, this support beinga) a solid substance which is not compact and which comprises, in the air and in the dry state, a ratio by volume of air of at least 10%, preferably at least 50%,b) permeable to gases and/or vapors, preferably air- and steam-permeable,c) dry or dryable,a shell made of polymer material and soluble in water, which surrounds the unit composed of support and meristematic tissue,a water-tight film which covers the inside of the shell of polymer material.
