Abstract: An agricultural apparatus for metering and treating granules such as seeds and granular crop additives. The apparatus comprises a metering device rotatably mounted on a spray chamber, the spray chamber connected to a conveyance device intake such as an auger. The metering device is rotatable between first (use) and second (transport) positions.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for metering and treating seed. The apparatus incorporates a belt conveyor or circular conveyor within a housing enabling a low-profile configuration, the conveyor having a plurality of cleats forming a series of separate voids for transporting determinable volumes of seed, and a seed treatment applicator adjacent the conveyor outlet for applying seed treatment to the seed. The apparatus and method enables the application of seed treatment based on a mass flow calculation derived from the measured volume flow through the apparatus.

Abstract: A composition for treating fungus infection of turfgrass, such as snow mold infection, comprises a mixture of fungicidally effective amounts of formulae 1 and 2: and in particular mixtures of iprodione and trifloxystrobin. A method for treating snow molds comprises applying the mixture before the onset of continuous snow cover, in at least one application.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of grasslands against insects, comprising applying an effective quantity of 1-[2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-cyano-4-[(trifluoromethyl)-sulphinyl]-5-aminopyrazole to the grasslands.

Abstract: Fungicidal compositions for the protection of turfgrass against crown and root rot are disclosed. The compositions comprise, as the active material, (a) a first active agent selected from the group consisting of (i) a monoester salt of a phosphorous acid (preferably aluminum ethyl phosphite), and (ii) phosphorous acid or an alkali or alkali earth metal salt thereof; and (b) a benzoporphyrin compound. Preferred compositions comprise 1 part by weight of the first active agent, and between about 0.01 and about 0.1 parts by weight of the benzoporphyrin compound.
