Abstract: The methods, kits, and products for controlling a target insect population are disclosed in which a non-host plant containing a toxin and a chemical attractant known to attract the target insect is treated with chemical attractant from a plant of interest. The chemical attractant induces the target insect to lay eggs on the non-host plant. The resulting offspring die of starvation from refusing to feed on the non-host plant. The non-host plant and plant of interest contain at least one common chemical. The methods, kits, and products for controlling a target insect population using an extract from a non-host plant are also disclosed. The non-host plant extract is applied to the plant of interest, and when ingested or applied directly to the target insect, kills the target insect or causes it to develop with deformities.

The aqueous suspension agrochemical composition includes: pyribencarb which is an agrochemically active component; an adjuvant for pyribencarb, which is one or more compounds selected from polyoxyalkylene siloxanes, polyoxyethylene/polyoxypropylene block copolymers, and polyoxyalkylene alkyl ethers; a nonionic-anionic surfactant which is a polyoxyalkylene aryl ether sulfuric acid salt and/or a polyoxyalkylene aryl ether phosphoric acid salt; and water.

Abstract: Agricultural compositions having reduced aquatic toxicity are disclosed. The compositions comprise an agricultural active, a monounsaturated C10-C12 fatty amine ethoxylate, and optionally water. The compositions may further comprise an auxiliary surfactant, a solvent, or both. In certain preferred aspects, the agricultural active is a glyphosate salt. Agricultural compositions comprising a monounsaturated C10-C12 fatty amine ethoxylate have good herbicidal efficacy. Unexpectedly, the monounsaturated C10-C12 fatty amine ethoxylates have reduced aquatic toxicity when compared with their saturated analogs.
