The present invention relates to pesticides, preferably insecticidal agents containing at least one of the novel benzamides of the general formula (I) in addition to extenders and / or surface-active agents. It has already been disclosed that certain benzamides, e.g. N- (6-chlorobenzothiazol-2-yl) -2,6-difluorobenzamide, insecticidal activities (see J. Agric., Food Chem., 24 (1976), pages 1065-1068). Surprisingly, the benzamides used in the present invention according to the present invention exhibit substantially superior insecticidal activity, especially against larvae of insects of the order Lepidoptera, as compared to analogous compounds known from the prior art cited above. |
