Abstract: The present invention provides for methods for fumigating soil containing deleterious organisms such as nematodes. The methods utilize an effective amount of acrolein over sole demand for acrolein which when added to the soil will control the organisms but will not exhibit phytotoxicity towards the existing or future plant life.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods for fumigating soil containing deleterious organisms such as nematodes. The methods utilize an effective amount of acrolein which when added to the soil will control the organisms but will not exhibit phytotoxicity towards the existing or future plant life and an effective amount of a detoxification compound such as for example: sulfites, bisulfites, ammonia or ammonium compounds.

Abstract: A foam carrier for a dust control agent and a biological control agent is provided to control fugitive dust dissemination and biological activity in bulk/granular solids.

Abstract: Methods are provided for inhibiting the production of acid in acid mine waters by controlling the growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in the mine waters by adding an effective amount of acrolein. This will reduce acid mine drainage to other aqueous systems. The methods comprise adding from about 0.1 to about 10 parts acrolein per million parts of the mine water for which acid production inhibition is sought.

Abstract: A method of controlling the fouling potential of macroinvertebrates, such as mollusks, in aqueous systems which comprises adding to the system an effective controlling amount of a water-soluble alkyl guanidine salt wherein the alkyl group has from about 8 to about 18 carbons.

Abstract: A method of controlling the fouling potential of macroinvertebrates, such as mollusks, in aqueous systems which comprises adding to the system an effective controlling amount of a water-soluble quaternary ammonium salt having the following structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group having about 6 to 24 carbons; R.sub.2 is an alkyl, aryl or arylalkyl group having about 6 to 24 carbons; R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are alkyl groups having about 1 to 4 carbons; and X is chloride, bromide, sulfate, bisulfate, nitrate or acetate. Preferably, the quaternary ammonium salt is water-soluble alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride having an alkyl chain length from C.sub.6 to C.sub.24 and, most preferably, it has an alkyl distribution of about 40% C.sub.12, 50% C.sub.14 and 10% C.sub.16.
