NOVELTY - A mixture comprises, as active components, an insecticidal compound (I) selected from nicotinic receptor agonists/antagonists compounds acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and nitenpyram; and an amide compound; and one or two further fungicidal compound(s) (III) selected from thiophanate-methyl, procloraz, orysastrobin, pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin and azoxylstrobin; and/or compound (IV) selected from fipronil and ethiprole, in synergistic amounts.    USE - As a mixture in pesticidal composition for controlling pests and/or improving the health of plants; for protection of plant propagation material from pests; and in plant propagation material (claimed) such as seeds, roots, fruits, tubers, bulbs, rhizomes, shoots, sprouts and other parts of plant including seedlings; in the protection of materials such as wood, paper, paint dispersions, fibers and fabrics; in the protection of stored products; for protecting wooden materials such as trees, board fences, sleepers and buildings such as houses, outhouses, factories, construction materials, furniture, leathers, fibers, vinyl articles, electric wires and cables from ants and termites; and for controlling fungal plant diseases selected from Albugo species (white rust) on ornamental plants, Cochliobolus species (leaf spots) on corn, Cycloconium species on olive trees, fungi of genus Dematophora, Elsinoe pyri on pome fruits, Gibberella species on cereals, black Sigatoka disease, Phomopsis species on sunflowers, Physoderma maydis (brown spots) on corn, Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides on cereals, Puccinia species (rusts) on various plants, Helminthosporium turcicum, Candida species and Typhula incarnata. The pests include animal pests such as insects, acarids and nematodes e.g. plant parasitic nematodes such as root-knot nematodes and harmful fungi. The insects includes insects of order Lepidoptera such as Agrotis segetum, Coleoptera (beetles) such as Agrilus sinuatus, Diptera (flies and mosquitoes) such as Aedes aegypti, Thysanoptera (thrips) such as Thrips oryzae, Isoptera (termites) such as Calotermes flavicollis, Blattaria (cockroaches) such as Blattella germanica, Hemiptera (true bugs) such as Acrosternum hilare, Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps, sawflies) such as Atta cephalotes, Orthoptera (crickets, grasshoppers, locusts) such as Locustana pardalina, Arachnids of family e.g. Sarcoptidae, Siphonaptera (fleas) such as Pulex irritans, Thysanura (silverfish, firebrat) such as Thermobia domestica, Chilopoda (centipedes) such as Scutigera coleoptrata, Diplopoda (millipedes) such as Narceus species, Dermaptera (Earwigs) such as Forficula auricularia, and Phthiraptera (lice) such as Menopon gallinae.    ADVANTAGE - The synergistic combination improves plant health (i.e. improves crop characteristics such as emergence, crop yield, protein content, oil content and starch content, improves stress tolerance against drought, heat, salt and water, reduces ethylene, increases plant height, reduces number of dead basal leaves, forms stronger tillers, allows earlier flowering, early grain maturity and early and better germination) and controls animal pests and fungi; and reduces dosage rates of the active ingredients in order to reduce or avoid unfavorable environmental or toxicological effects while still allowing pest control effect. The simultaneous or successive application of compound (I) and (II) allows enhanced control of pests compared to the control rates that are possible with individual compounds.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - A mixture comprises, as active components, an insecticidal compound (I) selected from nicotinic receptor agonists/antagonists compounds acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam and nitenpyram; and an amide compound of formula (II); and one or two further fungicidal compound(s) (III) selected from thiophanate-methyl, procloraz, orysastrobin, pyraclostrobin, trifloxystrobin and azoxylstrobin; and/or compound (IV) selected from fipronil and ethiprole, in synergistic amounts.    R4=methyl, difluoromethyl or trifluoromethyl;    R5=H or F;    M=a thienyl ring or a phenyl ring, where the phenyl ring is optionally substituted with F;    Q'=a direct bond, a cyclopropylene or an anellated bicyclo(2.2.1)heptane ring;    R1=cyclopropyl, 1,3-dimethylbutyl, isopropyl, phenyl di- or tri-substituted with halogen atoms or a trifluoromethylthio radical.    INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) a pesticidal composition comprising a liquid or solid carrier and the mixture;    (2) controlling pests and/or improving the health of plants, where the pest, their habitat, breeding grounds, their locus or the plants to be protected against pest attack, the soil or plant propagules; or the plant, the locus where the plant is growing or is expected to grow or plant propagation material from which the plant grows; are treated with the mixture;    (3) protection of plant propagation material from pests involving contacting the plant propagation materials with the mixture; and    (4) plant propagation material comprising the mixture in an amount of 0.01 g to 10 kg per 100 kg of plant propagation material.
