The present invention relates to a composition and to the production and use of said composition. Pesticide synergist composition comprising, inter alia, (1) a proteolytic enzyme (or a mixture of proteolytic enzymes), (2) a polyphenol compound (or a mixture of polyphenol compounds chosen from hydrolysable tannins), (3) a compound chosen from triglycerides (or a mixture thereof), (4) a phase change inhibitor chosen from ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, benzyl alcohol and a mixture thereof, (5) an enzyme stabiliser chosen from organic peroxides, (6) a non-ionic surfactant, (7) an essential oil chosen from melaleuca alternifolia and quinquenervia essential oils, (9) a simple reagent such as ascetic acid and citric acid to modify/stabilise the ph. The present invention can be in the form of a concentrate or an emulsion further comprising pyrethrins and pyrethroids (i) and (ii) and a mixture thereof. The composition is intended, when used, to manage the resistance linked to the mechanism of insects, detoxify insecticides and improve the efficacy of pesticides, in particular certain insecticides such as pyrethrins and pyrethroids (i) and (ii). |
