The present invention provides methods comprising applying to a crop of rice plants, the locus thereof, or propagation material thereof, a compound of formula (I): wherein &mdash；B1&mdash；B2&mdash；B3&mdash； is &mdash；C&boxH；N&mdash；O&mdash；, &mdash；C&boxH；N&mdash；CH2&mdash；, &mdash；C&boxH；CH2&mdash；O&mdash； or &mdash；N&mdash；CH2&mdash；CH2&mdash；； L is a direct bond or methylene； A1 and A2 are C&mdash；H, or one of A1 and A2 is C&mdash；H and the other is N； X1 is group X R1 is C1-C4alkyl, C1-C4haloalkyl or C3-C6cycloalkyl； R2 is chlorodifluoromethyl or trifluoromethyl； each R3 is independently bromo, chloro, fluoro or trifluoromethyl； R4 is hydrogen, halogen, methyl, halomethyl or cyano； R5 is hydrogen； or R4 and R5 together form a bridging 1,3-butadiene group； p is 2 or 3. Preferably the methods are for control of stemborer, leaffolder, hoppers, Gall midge, whorl maggot, Rice bugs, and/or Black bugs.
