Abstract: An agricultural and horticultural plant growth zeolite-based composition containing a particular zeolitic (i.e., zeolite-containing) material, termed “Yenomite,” is disclosed. This composition exhibits a collection of outstanding advantageous properties in agricultural and horticultural applications. Yenomite, which is found in a particular area of Jordan, comprises primarily phillipsite as the zeolite, optionally in conjunction with palagonite. Yenomite provides surprisingly better results as compared to when other zeolite-based soil amendment compositions, even when it is used as the mined material that has been only subject to a grinding or crushing operation to a desired mesh size. As mined, Yenomite contains very low levels of undesired Na+ ions. It can, therefore, be used without being subjected to a washing operation to remove these ions. Yenomite also possesses a very high CEC. These characteristics, and others, make Yenomite uniquely suitable to use in any agricultural or horticultural operation.

Abstract: Methods of controlling calcium intake and phosphate metabolism and metabolic acidosis in patients suffering from renal failure and associated hyperphosphatemia or patients predisposed to development of a hyperphosphatemic condition are provided. The method in accordance with this invention comprises administering to a patient a calcium glutarate compound. Therapeutic benefit can be realized in accordance with such method by administering the compound orally to a patient to increase available calcium and contact and bind with ingested phosphate in the patient's digestive tract, and thereby prevent its intestinal absorption.

Abstract: Surfactant adjuvants that improve the bioefficacy of herbicides by combining known surfactancy, or wetting characteristics, of sulfosuccinate or sulfosuccinamate-based surfactants, with the proven bioefficiacy characteristics of alkoxylated amine-based surfactants. The surfactant adjuvants contain an amine-based surfactant, and a sulfosuccinate or sulfosuccinamate-based surfactant. The surfactant adjuvants are combined with herbicidal active ingredients, and optionally, one or more formulation aids to form herbicide compositions that have a reduced tendency to cause eye and skin irritation and can be used to control unwanted weeds or vegetation.

Abstract: A herbicidal emulsion composition comprising an ethenylamide compound as a herbicidally active component and a dichloroacetamide compound as a phytotoxicity reducing agent. This composition has excellent keeping stability because the phytotoxicity reducing agent of the composition does not decompose and crystals do not separate out even when it is kept for a long time. An amino alcohol and a polar nonaqueous solvent as a solvent are added to the ethenylamide compound and the dichloroacetamide compound to prepare a herbicidal emulsion composition.
