Abstract: Methods for controlling and/or treating of phytopathogenic fungi causing soybean rust infections in plants include applying a fungicidally effective amount of a composition to the plants, and/or seeds of the plants, or soil in which the plants are growing, or soil in which the plants are desired to grow. The composition includes zoxamide, optionally in combination with one or more additional active ingredients selected from the group consisting of strobilurins and/or triazole compounds. The phytopathogenic fungi are selected from P. pachyrhizi or P. meibomiae. The zoxamide is applied in an amount of about 10 g/ha to about 2000 g/ha.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds which are of use in the field of agriculture as herbicides. The invention also relates to methods of using said compounds and compositions comprising said compounds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to benzimidazole and benzotriazole compounds which are of use in the field of agriculture as fungicides, wherein the compounds include benzimidazole and benzotriazole compounds having a structure according to formula 1, or an agronomically acceptable salt or N-oxide thereof:

Abstract: The present invention relates to the compositions comprising algae, specifically Spirulina platensis and Chlorella, and their use for the treatment of crops, such as fruits, vegetables and arable crops against heat stress, especially sunburn.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of silthiofam for the treatment of soybean rust and agricultural compositions thereof. The invention further relates to a method of controlling, preventing and/or treating of phytopathogenic fungi causing soybean rust.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of 9-tricosene as a pest control agent against Drosophila suzukii, where in 9-tricosene inhibits mating. The compound 9-tricosene can be used alone or mixed with other compounds in order to control Drosophila suzukii in a more efficient manner. In addition, this present invention provides the use of a dispenser and specific spraying methods with 9-tricosene.

Abstract: S-abscisic acid is used for promoting fruit set and/or for producing parthenocarpic fruits in useful plants. S-abscisic acid is also used as a growth inhibitor in useful plants. Methods are provided for treating useful plants with S-abscisic acid for these purposes.

Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a composition in low doses containing single L-amino acids, including their precursors and biologically still active metabolites, to influence the life processes of plants, such as their growth, whereby the total amount of single L-amino acids when applying the composition is at least 0.5 g/ha and at most 250 g/ha, and wherein the L-amino acids are selected from the group of glutamine, asparagine, aspartic acid, histidine, lysine, and combinations thereof with each other and/or with arginine and/or with glutamic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a composition comprising S-abscisic acid or a salt thereof and another growth inhibiting active substance during a period of vegetative growth for the increase of the yield of agricultural and horticultural crops, annual as well as perennial, monocot as well as dicot crops, whereby the S-abscisic acid or the salt thereof is dosed in an amount corresponding to at most 40 g/hectare.

Abstract: Controlling insects of the superfamily of the Psylloidea in horticultural and/or agricultural crops, by using bicarbonate and carbonate salts.

Abstract: S-abscisic acid is used for promoting fruit set and/or for producing parthenocarpic fruits in useful plants. S-abscisic acid is also used as a growth inhibitor in useful plants. Methods are provided for treating useful plants with S-abscisic acid for these purposes.
