     The present invention relates to mixtures of active ingredients having synergistically enhanced action and to methods comprising applying said mixtures. 
     One typical problem arising in the field of pest and/or fungi control lies in the need to reduce the dosage rates of the active ingredient in order to reduce or avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects whilst still allowing effective pest and/or fungi control. 
     Another problem encountered concerns the need to have available pesticidal active agents which are effective against a broad spectrum of pests. 
     Another problem encountered concerns the need to have available fungicidal active agents which are effective against a broad spectrum of fungi. 
     Another problem underlying the present invention is the desire for compositions that improve plants, a process which is commonly and hereinafter referred to as “plant health”. For example, advantageous properties that may be mentioned are improved crop characteristics including: emergence, crop yields, protein content, more developed root system, tillering increase, increase in plant height, bigger leaf blade, less dead basal leaves, stronger tillers, greener leaf color, pigment content, photosynthetic activity, less fertilizers needed, less seeds needed, more productive tillers, earlier flowering, early grain maturity, less plant verse (lodging), increased shoot growth, enhanced plant vigor, increased plant stand and early germination; or any other advantages familiar to a person skilled in the art. Methods for improving the health of plants by applying active compounds to the plants or the locus are a general need. 
     It is also an object of the present invention, with a view to reducing the application rates and broadening the activity spectrum of the active compounds I and II, to provide mixtures which, at a reduced total amount of active compounds applied, have improved activity against harmful fungi and animal pests. 
     It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide pesticidal mixtures which solve the problems outlined above. 
     The combating of harmful phytopathogenic fungi is in many regions not the only problem the farmer has to face. Also harmful insects can cause a great damage to crops and other plants. 
     An efficient combination of fungicidal and insecticidal activity is desirable to overcome this problem. Thus, it is a further object of the present invention to provide a mixture which, on the one hand, has good fungicidal activity, and, on the other hand, good insecticidal activity, resulting in a broader pesticidal spectrum of action. 
     There also exists the need for pest or fungi control agents that combine know-down activity with prolonged control, that is, fast action with long lasting action. 
     Another difficulty in relation to the use of pesticides or fungicides is that the repeated and exclusive application of an individual pesticidal compound leads in many cases to a rapid selection of pests which have developed natural or adapted resistance against the active compound in question. Therefore there is a need for pest or fungi control agents that help prevent or overcome resistance. 
     It was therefore an object of the present invention to provide agricultural mixtures which solves at least one of the discussed problems as reducing the dosage rate, enhancing the spectrum of activity or combining know-down activity with prolonged control or as to resistance management. 
     It has been found that this object is in part or in whole achieved by the combination of active compounds defined below. 
     The present invention relates to agricultural mixtures comprising as active compounds
         1) at least one pesticidal active carboxamide compound I of formula (I):

       Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  subsp.  plantarum  M B1600 (NRRL B-50595) is deposited under accession number NRRL B-50595 with the strain designation  Bacillus  subtilis 1430 (and identical to NCIMB 1237). Recently, MBI 600 has been re-classified as  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  subsp.  plantarum  based on polyphasic testing which combines classical microbiological methods relying on a mixture of traditional tools (such as culture-based methods) and molecular tools (such as genotyping and fatty acids analysis). Thus,  Bacillus subtilis  MBI600 (or MBI 600 or MBI-600) is identical to  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  subsp.  plantarum  M B1600, formerly  Bacillus subtilis  MB1600.  Bacillus amyloliquefaciens  MBI600 is known as plant growth-promoting rice seed treatment from Int. J. Microbiol. Res. 3(2) (2011), 120-130 and further described e.g. in US 2012/0149571 A1.

     Formulations 
     The mixtures according to the present invention can be converted into the customary formulations, for example solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes and granules. The use form depends on the particular intended purpose; in each case, it should ensure a fine and even distribution of the compounds according to the invention. 
     Therefore the invention also relates to agrochemical compositions comprising an auxiliary and a mixture of at least one compound I of formula I and of at least one compound II (and optionally one compound III) according to the present invention. 
     An agrochemical composition comprises a pesticidally effective amount of a compound I. The term “effective amount” denotes an amount of the composition or of the compounds I, which is sufficient for controlling harmful fungi and/or harmful pests on cultivated plants or in the protection of materials and which does not result in a substantial damage to the treated plants. Such an amount can vary in a broad range and is dependent on various factors, such as the fungal species and/or the pest species to be controlled, the treated cultivated plant or material, the climatic conditions and the specific compound I used. 
     The active compounds I and II (and optionally Ill), their N-oxides and salts can be converted into customary types of agrochemical compositions, e. g. solutions, emulsions, suspensions, dusts, powders, pastes, granules, pressings, capsules, and mixtures thereof. Examples for composition types are suspensions (e.g. SC, OD, FS), emulsifiable concentrates (e.g. EC), emulsions (e.g. EW, EO, ES, ME), capsules (e.g. CS, ZC), pastes, pastilles, wettable powders or dusts (e.g. WP, SP, WS, DP, DS), pressings (e.g. BR, TB, DT), granules (e.g. WG, SG, GR, FG, GG, MG), insecticidal articles (e.g. LN), as well as gel formulations for the treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds (e.g. GF).

     The agrochemical compositions generally comprise between 0.01 and 95%, preferably between 0.1 and 90%, and in particular between 0.5 and 75%, by weight of active substance. The active substances are employed in a purity of from 90% to 100%, preferably from 95% to 100% (according to NMR spectrum). 
     Solutions for seed treamtent (LS), Suspoemulsions (SE), flowable concentrates (FS), powders for dry treatment (DS), water-dispersible powders for slurry treatment (WS), water-soluble powders (SS), emulsions (ES), emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and gels (GF) are usually employed for the purposes of treatment of plant propagation materials, particularly seeds. The compositions in question give, after two-to-tenfold dilution, active substance concentrations of from 0.01 to 60% by weight, preferably from 0.1 to 40% by weight, in the ready-to-use preparations. Application can be carried out before or during sowing. Methods for applying compound I and compositions thereof, respectively, on to plant propagation material, especially seeds include dressing, coating, pelleting, dusting, soaking and in-furrow application methods of the propagation material. Preferably, compound I or the compositions thereof, respectively, are applied on to the plant propagation material by a method such that germination is not induced, e. g. by seed dressing, pelleting, coating and dusting. 
     When employed in plant protection, the amounts of active substances applied are, depending on the kind of effect desired, from 0.001 to 2 kg per ha, preferably from 0.005 to 2 kg per ha, more preferably from 0.05 to 0.9 kg per ha, and in particular from 0.1 to 0.75 kg per ha. 
     In treatment of plant propagation materials such as seeds, e. g. by dusting, coating or drenching seed, amounts of active substance of from 0.1 to 1000 g, preferably from 1 to 1000 g, more preferably from 1 to 100 g and most preferably from 5 to 100 g, per 100 kilogram of plant propagation material (preferably seeds) are generally required. In some cases the amount for seed treatment may be up to 100 kilogram per 100 kilogram of seeds, or may even excess the seed weight. 
     When used in the protection of materials or stored products, the amount of active substance applied depends on the kind of application area and on the desired effect. Amounts customarily applied in the protection of materials are 0.001 g to 2 kg, preferably 0.005 g to 1 kg, of active substance per cubic meter of treated material. 
     Various types of oils, wetters, adjuvants, fertilizer, or micronutrients, and further pesticides (e.g. herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, growth regulators, safeners) may be added to the active substances or the compositions comprising them as premix or, if appropriate not until immediately prior to use (tank mix). These agents can be admixed with the compositions according to the invention in a weight ratio of 1:100 to 100:1, preferably 1:10 to 10:1. 
     The user applies the composition according to the invention usually from a predosage device, a knapsack sprayer, a spray tank, a spray plane, or an irrigation system. Usually, the agrochemical composition is made up with water, buffer, and/or further auxiliaries to the desired application concentration and the ready-to-use spray liquor or the agrochemical composition according to the invention is thus obtained. Usually, 20 to 2000 liters, preferably 50 to 400 liters, of the ready-to-use spray liquor are applied per hectare of agricultural useful area. 
     According to one embodiment, individual components of the composition according to the invention such as parts of a kit or parts of a binary or ternary mixture may be mixed by the user himself in a spray tank and further auxiliaries may be added, if appropriate. 
     In a further embodiment, either individual components of the composition according to the invention or partially premixed components, e. g. components comprising active compound I and active compounds II (and optionally active compounds III), may be mixed by the user in a spray tank and further auxiliaries and additives may be added, if appropriate. 
     In a further embodiment, either individual components of the composition according to the invention or partially premixed components, e. g. components comprising active compound I and active compounds II (and optionally active compounds III), can be applied jointly (e.g. after tank mix) or consecutively. 
     Applications 
     The compound I and the one or more compound(s) II (and optionally compounds III) can be applied simultaneously, that is jointly or separately, or in succession, that is immediately one after another and thereby creating the mixture “in-situ” on the desired location, as e.g. the plant, the sequence, in the case of separate application, generally not having any effect on the result of the control measures. 
     The mixtures of the present invention are employed as such or in form of compositions by treating the insects, the fungi or the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms to be protected from insecticidal attack with a pesticidally effective amount of the active compounds. The application can be carried out both before and after the infection of the plants, plant propagation materials, such as seeds, soil, surfaces, materials or rooms by the insects. 
     The present invention also includes a method of combating animal pests and harmful fungi which comprises contacting the fungi and/or animal pests, their habit, breeding ground, food supply, cultivated plants, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which the animal pests are growing or may grow, or the materials, plants, seeds, soils, surfaces or spaces to be protected from animal attack or infestation with a pesticidally effective amount of a mixture according to the present invention. 
     Plants which can be treated with the inventive mixtures include all genetically modified plants or transgenic plants, e.g. crops which tolerate the action of herbicides or fungicides or insecticides owing to breeding, including genetic engineering methods, or plants which have modified characteristics in comparison with existing plants, which can be generated for example by traditional breeding methods and/or the generation of mutants, or by recombinant procedures. 
     Some of the inventive mixtures have systemic action and can therefore be used for the protection of the plant shoot against foliar pests as well as for the treatment of the seed and roots against soil pests. 
     The mixtures of compound I and II, or their corresponding formulations, are applied by treating the harmful fungi and the animal pests, their habitat or the plants, seeds, soils, areas, materials or spaces to be kept free from them with a pesticidally effective amount of the mixture or, in the case of separate application, of the compound I and II. Application can be before or after the infection by harmful fungi and/or animal pests. 
     The compound I and the one or more compound(s) II are usually applied in a weight ratio of from 500:1 to 1:100, preferably from 20:1 to 1:50, in particular from 5:1 to 1:20. Depending on the desired effect, the application rates of the mixtures according to the invention are from 5 g/ha to 2000 g/ha, preferably from 50 to 1500 g/ha, in particular from 50 to 750 g/ha. 
     In general, “synergistically effective amount” means that the one active compound I and the one or more active compound(s) II are usually applied in a weight ratio of from 500:1 to 1:100, preferably from 20:1 to 1:50, in particular from 5:1 to 1:20. Depending on the nature of the compounds the employed weight ratio of compound I and compound(s) II ranges can start from 100:1 to 1:100, preferably from 20:1 to 1:20, in particular from 10:1 to 1:10. 
     Further active compounds, like compounds III, are, if desired, mixed in a ratio of from 20:1 to 1:20 to the compound I. 
     The mixtures according to the invention are effective through both contact and ingestion. 
     According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the mixtures according to the present invention are employed via soil application. Soil application is especially favorable for use against ants, termites, crickets, or cockroaches. 
     According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, for use against non crop pests such as ants, termites, wasps, flies, mosquitoes, crickets, locusts, or cockroaches the mixtures according to the present invention are prepared into a bait preparation. 
     The bait can be a liquid, a solid or a semisolid preparation (e.g. a gel). 
     Another aspect of the present invention is when preparing the mixtures, it is preferred to employ the pure active compound I and II, to which further active compounds, e.g. against harmful fungi or having herbicidal activity, or growth-regulating agents or fertilizers can be added. 
     Compositions of this invention may further contain other active ingredients than those listed above. For example fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate, urea, potash, and superphosphate, phytotoxicants and plant growth regulators and safeners. These additional ingredients may be used sequentially or in combination with the above-described compositions, if appropriate also added only immediately prior to use (tank mix). For example, the plant(s) may be sprayed with a composition of this invention either before or after being treated with other active ingredients. 
     The mixtures according to the invention can be applied to any and all developmental stages, such as egg, larva, pupa, and adult. The pests may be controlled by contacting the target pest, its food supply, habitat, breeding ground or its locus with a pesticidally effective amount of the inventive mixtures or of compositions comprising the mixtures. 
     “Locus” means a plant, seed, soil, area, material or environment in which a pest is growing or may grow. 
     In general, “pesticidally effective amount” means the amount of the inventive mixtures or of compositions comprising the mixtures needed to achieve an observable effect on growth, including the effects of necrosis, death, retardation, prevention, and removal, destruction, or otherwise diminishing the occurrence and activity of the target organism. The pesticidally effective amount can vary for the various mixtures and/or compositions used in the invention. A pesticidally effective amount of the mixtures and/or compositions will also vary according to the prevailing conditions such as desired pesticidal effect and duration, weather, target species, locus, mode of application, and the like. 
     The inventive mixtures or compositions of these mixtures can also be employed for protecting plants from attack or infestation by insects, acarids or nematodes comprising contacting a plant, or soil or water in which the plant is growing. 
     The inventive mixtures are effective through both contact (via soil, glass, wall, bed net, carpet, plant parts or animal parts), and ingestion (bait, or plant part) and through trophallaxis and transfer. 
     Preferred application methods are into water bodies, via soil, cracks and crevices, pastures, manure piles, sewers, into water, on floor, wall, or by perimeter spray application and bait. 
     The inventive mixtures and the compositions comprising them can be used for protecting wooden materials such as trees, board fences, sleepers, etc. and buildings such as houses, outhouses, factories, but also construction materials, furniture, leathers, fibers, vinyl articles, electric wires and cables etc. 
     In the case of soil treatment or of application to the pests dwelling place or nest, the quantity of active ingredient(s) ranges from 0.0001 to 500 g per 100 m 2 , preferably from 0.001 to 20 g per 100 m 2 . 
     Customary application rates in the protection of materials are, for example, from 0.01 g to 1000 g of active compound(s) per m 2  treated material, desirably from 0.1 g to 50 g per m 2 . 
     For use in spray compositions, the content of the mixture of the active ingredients is from 0.001 to 80 weights %, preferably from 0.01 to 50 weight % and most preferably from 0.01 to 15 weight %. 
     For use in treating crop plants, the rate of application of the mixture of the active ingredients of this invention may be in the range of 0.1 g to 4000 g per hectare, desirably from 25 g to 600 g per hectare, more desirably from 50 g to 500 g per hectare. 
     The method of treatment according to the invention can also be used in the field of protecting stored products or harvest against attack of animal pests, fungi and microorganisms. According to the present invention, the term “stored products” is understood to denote natural substances of plant or animal origin and their processed forms, which have been taken from the natural life cycle and for which long-term protection is desired. Stored products of crop plant origin, such as plants or parts thereof, for example stalks, leafs, tubers, seeds, fruits or grains, can be protected in the freshly harvested state or in processed form, such as pre-dried, moistened, comminuted, ground, pressed or roasted, which process is also known as post-harvest treatment. Also falling under the definition of stored products is timber, whether in the form of crude timber, such as construction timber, electricity pylons and barriers, or in the form of finished articles, such as furniture or objects made from wood. Stored products of animal origin are hides, leather, furs, hairs and the like. The combinations according the present invention can prevent disadvantageous effects such as decay, discoloration or mold. Preferably “stored products” is understood to denote natural substances of plant origin and their processed forms, more preferably fruits and their processed forms, such as pomes, stone fruits, soft fruits and citrus fruits and their processed forms. 
     In the context of the present invention, the term plant refers to an entire plant, a part of the plant or the plant propagation material. 
     The mixtures of the present invention and the compositions comprising them are particularly important in the control of a multitude of insects on various cultivated plants. 
     Plants which can be treated with the inventive mixtures include all genetically modified plants or transgenic plants, e.g. crops which tolerate the action of herbicides or fungicides or insecticides owing to breeding, including genetic engineering methods, or plants which have modified characteristics in comparison with existing plants, which can be generated for example by traditional breeding methods and/or the generation of mutants, or by recombinant procedures. 
     The term “plant propagation material” is to be understood to denote all the generative parts of the plant such as seeds and vegetative plant material such as cuttings and tubers (e. g. potatoes), which can be used for the multiplication of the plant. This includes seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plants. Seedlings and young plants, which are to be transplanted after germination or after emergence from soil, may also be mentioned. These young plants may also be protected before transplantation by a total or partial treatment by immersion or pouring. 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood as including plants which have been modified by breeding, mutagenesis or genetic engineering. Genetically modified plants are plants, which genetic material has been so modified by the use of recombinant DNA techniques that under natural circumstances cannot be obtained by cross breeding, mutations or natural recombination. Typically, one or more genes have been integrated into the genetic material of a genetically modified plant in order to improve certain properties of the plant. 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood also including plants that have been rendered tolerant to applications of specific classes of herbicides, such as hydroxy-phenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors; acetolactate synthase (ALS) inhibitors, such as sulfonyl ureas (see e. g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/26390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/02526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/14357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073) or imidazolinones (see e. g. U.S. Pat. No. 6,222,100, WO 01/82685, WO 00/26390, WO 97/41218, WO 98/02526, WO 98/02527, WO 04/106529, WO 05/20673, WO 03/14357, WO 03/13225, WO 03/14356, WO 04/16073); enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) inhibitors, such as glyphosate (see e. g. WO 92/00377); glutamine synthetase (GS) inhibitors, such as glufosinate (see e. g. EP-A-0242236, EP-A-242246) or oxynil herbicides (see e. g. U.S. Pat. No. 5,559,024) as a result of conventional methods of breeding or genetic engineering. Several cultivated plants have been rendered tolerant to herbicides by conventional methods of breeding (mutagenesis), for example Clearfield® summer rape (Canola) being tolerant to imidazolinones, e. g. imazamox. Genetic engineering methods have been used to render cultivated plants, such as soybean, cotton, corn, beets and rape, tolerant to herbicides, such as glyphosate and glufosinate, some of which are commercially available under the trade names RoundupReady® (glyphosate) and LibertyLink® (glufosinate). 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood also including plants that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more insecticidal proteins, especially those known from the bacterial genus  Bacillus , particularly from  Bacillus thuringiensis , such as ä-endotoxins, e. g. CryIA(b), CryIA(c), CryIF, CryIF(a2), CryIIA(b), CryIIIA, CryIIIB(b1) or Cry9c; vegetative insecticidal proteins (VIP), e. g. VIP1, VIP2, VIP3 or VIP3A; insecticidal proteins of bacteria colonizing nematodes, for example  Photorhabdus  spp. or  Xenorhabdus  spp.; toxins produced by animals, such as scorpion toxins, arachnid toxins, wasp toxins, or other insect-specific neurotoxins; toxins produced by fungi, such Streptomycetes toxins, plant lectins, such as pea or barley lectins; agglutinins; proteinase inhibitors, such as trypsin inhibitors, serine protease inhibitors, patatin, cystatin or papain inhibitors; ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIP), such as ricin, maize-RIP, abrin, luffin, saporin or bryodin; steroid metabolism enzymes, such as 3-hydroxysteroid oxidase, ecdysteroid-IDP-glycosyl-transferase, cholesterol oxidases, ecdysone inhibitors or HMG-CoA-reductase; ion channel blockers, such as blockers of sodium or calcium channels; juvenile hormone esterase; diuretic hormone receptors (helicokinin receptors); stilben synthase, bibenzyl synthase, chitinases or glucanases. In the context of the present invention these insecticidal proteins or toxins are to be understood expressly also as pre-toxins, hybrid proteins, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Hybrid proteins are characterized by a new combination of protein domains, (see, for example WO 02/015701). Further examples of such toxins or genetically-modified plants capable of synthesizing such toxins are dis-closed, for example, in EP-A 374 753, WO 93/007278, WO 95/34656, EP-A 427 529, EP-A 451 878, WO 03/018810 and WO 03/052073. The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above. These insecticidal proteins contained in the genetically modified plants impart to the plants producing these proteins tolerance to harmful pests from all taxonomic groups of insects, especially to beetles (Coeloptera), two-winged insects (Diptera), and butterflies (Lepidoptera). 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood also including plants that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to in-crease the resistance or tolerance of those plants to bacterial, viral or fungal pathogens. Examples of such proteins are the so-called “pathogenesis-related proteins” (PR proteins, see, for example EP-A 0 392 225), plant disease resistance genes (for example potato cultivars, which express resistance genes acting against  Phytophthora infestans  derived from the mexican wild potato  Solanum bulbocastanum ) or T4-lyso-zym (e. g. potato cultivars capable of synthesizing these proteins with increased resistance against bacteria such as  Erwinia amylvora ). The methods for producing such genetically modified plants are generally known to the person skilled in the art and are described, for example, in the publications mentioned above. 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood also including plants that are by the use of recombinant DNA techniques capable to synthesize one or more proteins to increase the productivity (e. g. bio mass production, grain yield, starch content, oil content or protein content), tolerance to drought, salinity or other growth-limiting environ-mental factors or tolerance to pests and fungal, bacterial or viral pathogens of those plants. 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood also including plants that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve human or animal nutrition, for ex-ample oil crops that produce health-promoting long-chain omega-3 fatty acids or unsaturated omega-9 fatty acids (e. g. Nexera® rape). 
     The term “cultivated plants” is to be understood also including plants that contain by the use of recombinant DNA techniques a modified amount of substances of content or new substances of content, specifically to improve raw material production, for example potatoes that produce increased amounts of amylopectin (e. g. Amflora® potato). 
     Some of the inventive mixtures have systemic action and can therefore be used for the protection of the plant shoot against foliar pests as well as for the treatment of the seed and roots against soil pests. 
     Seed Treatment 
     The mixtures according to the present invention are therfore suitable for the treatment of seeds in order to protect the seed from insect pest, in particular from soil-living insect pests and the resulting plant&#39;s roots and shoots against soil pests and foliar insects. 
     The protection of the resulting plant&#39;s roots and shoots is preferred. 
     More preferred is the protection of resulting plant&#39;s shoots from piercing and sucking insects. 
     The present invention therefore comprises a method for the protection of seeds from insects, in particular from soil insects and of the seedlings&#39; roots and shoots from insects, in particular from soil and foliar insects, said method comprising contacting the seeds before sowing and/or after pregermination with mixtures according to the present invention. Particularly preferred is a method, wherein the plant&#39;s roots and shoots are protected, more preferably a method, wherein the plants shoots are protected form piercing and sucking insects, most preferably a method, wherein the plants shoots are protected from aphids. 
     The term seed embraces seeds and plant propagules of all kinds including but not limited to true seeds, seed pieces, suckers, corms, bulbs, fruit, tubers, grains, cuttings, cut shoots and the like and means in a preferred embodiment true seeds. 
     The term seed treatment comprises all suitable seed treatment techniques known in the art, such as seed dressing, seed coating, seed dusting, seed soaking and seed pelleting. 
     The present invention also comprises seeds coated with or containing the active compound(s). The term “coated with and/or containing” generally signifies that the active ingredient(s) are for the most part on the surface of the propagation product at the time of application, although a greater or lesser part of the ingredient may penetrate into the propagation product, depending on the method of application. When the said propagation product are (re)planted, it may absorb the active ingredient. 
     Suitable seeds are seeds of cereals, root crops, oil crops, vegetables, spices, ornamentals, for example seed of durum and other wheat, barley, oats, rye, maize (fodder maize and sugar maize/sweet and field corn), soybeans, oil crops, crucifers, cotton, sunflowers, bananas, rice, oilseed rape, turnip rape, sugarbeet, fodder beet, eggplants, potatoes, grass, lawn, turf, fodder grass, tomatoes, leeks, pumpkin/squash, cabbage, iceberg lettuce, pepper, cucumbers, melons,  Brassica  species, melons, beans, peas, garlic, onions, carrots, tuberous plants such as potatoes, sugar cane, tobacco, grapes, petunias, geranium/pelargoniums, pansies and  impatiens . In addition, the mixtures according to the invention may also be used for the treatment seeds from plants, which tolerate the action of herbicides or fungicides or insecticides owing to breeding, including genetic engineering methods. 
     For example, the active mixtures can be employed in treatment of seeds from plants, which are resistant to herbicides from the group consisting of the sulfonylureas, imidazolinones, glufosinate-ammonium or glyphosate-isopropylammonium and analogous active substances (see for example, EP-A-0242236, EP-A-242246) (WO 92/00377) (EP-A-0257993, U.S. Pat. No. 5,013,659) or in transgenic crop plants, for example cotton, with the capability of producing  Bacillusl thuringiensis  toxins (Bt toxins) which make the plants resistant to certain pests (EP-A-0142924, EP-A-0193259), 
     Furthermore, the mixtures according to the present invention can be used also for the treatment of seeds from plants, which have modified characteristics in comparison with existing plants consist, which can be generated for example by traditional breeding methods and/or the generation of mutants, or by recombinant procedures). For example, a number of cases have been described of recombinant modifications of crop plants for the purpose of modifying the starch synthesized in the plants (e.g. WO 92/11376, WO 92/14827, WO 91/19806) or of transgenic crop plants having a modified fatty acid composition (WO 91/13972). 
     The seed treatment application of the mixtures is carried out by spraying or by dusting the seeds before sowing of the plants and before emergence of the plants. 
     In the treatment of seeds the corresponding formulations are applied by treating the seeds with an effective amount of the mixture according to the present invention. Herein, the application rates of the active compound(s) are generally from 0.1 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of seed, preferably from 1 g to 5 kg per 100 kg of seed, in particular from 1 g to 2.5 kg per 100 kg of seed. For specific crops such as lettuce the rate can be higher. Also in some other cases the amount for seed treatment may be up to 100 kilogram of the active compound(s) per 100 kilogram of seeds, or may even excess the seed weight.

     EXAMPLES 
     B. Biology 
     Synergism can be described as an interaction where the combined effect of two or more compounds is greater than the sum of the individual effects of each of the compounds. The presence of a synergistic effect in terms of percent control, between two mixing partners (X and Y) can be calculated using the Colby equation (Colby, S. R., 1967, Calculating Synergistic and Antagonistic Responses in Herbicide Combinations, Weeds, 15, 20-22): 
     
       
         
           
             E 
             = 
             
               X 
               + 
               Y 
               - 
               
                 
                   X 
                    
                   Y 
                 
                 
                   1 
                    
                   0 
                    
                   0 
                 
               
             
           
         
       
     
     When the observed combined control effect is greater than the expected combined control effect (E), then the combined effect is synergistic. 
     The analysis of synergism or antagonism between the mixtures or compositions was determined using Colby&#39;s equation.

     B.1.6. Activity against  Rhizoctonia solani    
     The stock solutions were mixed according to the indicated ratio, pipetted onto a micro titer plate (MTP) and diluted with water to the stated concentrations. A spore suspension of Rhizoctonta solanlin an aqueous biomalt or yeast-bactopeptone-glycerine solution was then added. The plates were placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at a temperature of 18° C. Using an absorption photometer, the MTPs were measured at 405 nm 7 days after the inoculation. The results are given in table B.1.6 hereinbelow.

     The measured parameters were compared to the growth of the active compound-free control variant (100%) and the fungus-free and active compound-free blank value to determine the relative growth in % of the pathogens in the respective active compounds. 
     These percentages were converted into efficacies. 
     As mentioned above, the expected efficacies of active compound mixtures were determined using Colby&#39;s formula [R. S. Colby, “Calculating synergistic and antagonistic responses of herbicide combinations”, Weeds 15, 20-22 (1967)] and compared with the observed efficacies. 
     The following further test systems may also be used to demonstrate and evaluate the fungicidal action of compounds, mixtures or compositions of this invention on specific fungi. However, the fungicidal control protection afforded by the compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to these fungi. In certain instances, combinations of a compound of this invention with other fungicidal compounds or agents are found to exhibit synergistic effects against certain important fungi. 
     If not otherwise specified and as described above, the active substances are formulated separately as a stock solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at a concentration of 10 000 ppm. 
     The measured parameters are to be compared to the growth of the active compound-free control variant (100%) and the fungus-free and active compound-free blank value to determine the relative growth in % of the pathogens in the respective active compounds. These percentages are then converted into efficacies. 
     Fungicidal Test Example B.1.8: 
     Activity Against the Grey Mold  Botrytis cinerea  in the Microtiterplate Test 
     The stock solutions are mixed according to the desired ratio, pipetted onto a micro titer plate (MTP) and diluted with water to the stated concentrations. A spore suspension of  Botrci cinerea  in an aqueous biomalt solution is added. The plates are placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at a temperature of 18° C. Using an absorption photometer, the MTPs are measured at 405 nm 7 days after the inoculation. 
     Fungicidal test example B.1.9:
 
Activity Against  Septoria glycines  in the Microtiterplate Test
 
     The stock solutions are mixed according to the desired ratio, pipetted onto a micro titer plate (MTP) and diluted with water to the stated concentrations. A spore suspension of  Septoria glycines  in an aqueous biomalt solution is added. The plates are placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at a temperature of 18° C. Using an absorption photometer, the MTPs are measured at 405 nm 7 days after the inoculation. 
     Fungicidal test example B.1.10:
 
Activity Against  Colletotrichum truncatum  in the Microtiterplate Test
 
     The stock solutions are mixed according to the ratio, pipetted onto a micro titer plate (MTP) and diluted with water to the stated concentrations. A spore suspension of  Colleotrichum truncatum  in an aqueous biomalt solution is added. The plates are placed in a water vapor-saturated chamber at a temperature of 18° C. Using an absorption photometer, the MTPs are measured at 405 nm 7 days after the inoculation. 
     Fungicidal Test Example B.1.11 
     Fungicidal Control of Brown Spot Caused by  Cochliobolus miyabeanus  (Protective) 
     Leaves of pot-grown rice seedlings are sprayed to run-off with an aqueous suspension containing a certain concentration of active ingredients prepared from a stock solution. The plants are allowed to air-dry. At the following day the plants are inoculated with an aqueous spore suspension of  Cochliobolus miyabeanus . Then the trial plants are immediately to be transferred to a humid chamber. After 6 days at 22-24° C. and a relative humidity close to 100% the extent of fungal attack on the leaves is visually assessed as % diseased leaf area. 
     Also here, the measured parameters of the fungicidal tests are to be compared to the growth of the active compound-free control variant (100%) and the fungus-free and active compound-free blank value to determine the relative growth in % of the pathogens in the respective active compounds. These percentages are to be converted into efficacies. An efficacy of 0 means that the growth level of the pathogens corresponds to that of the untreated control; an efficacy of 100 means that the pathogens are not growing. 
     B.2 Pesticidal Activity Against Animal Pests 
     The following tests can further demonstrate the control efficacy of compounds, mixtures or compositions of this invention on specific animal pests. However, the pest control protection afforded by the compounds, mixtures or compositions is not limited to these species.
