Abstract: There is provided a method for protecting crop plants from phytotoxic injury caused by a chloroacetamide herbicide by co-applying a non-phytotoxic, conditioning effective amount of a benzothiadiazinone derivative. The method is particularly effective in protecting dry edible beans from phytotoxicity when dimethenamid is applied postemergence.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel biopesticidal compositions comprising an active insecticidal ingredient selected from insecticidal bacteria and viruses such as B. thuringiensis crystal protein or spores or mixtures thereof and baculoviruses such as nuclear polyhedrosis viruses, granulosis viruses and non-occluded viruses; a polymer; and an inorganic light blocking agent wherein the light blocking agent protects the active ingredient from both ultraviolet light and sunlight and the polymer forms a matrix in which the active ingredient and light blocking agent are dispersed therein. Methods for producing the biopesticidal compositions and methods of controlling insects are also included within the scope of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel sporulation gene isolated from B. thuringiensis, and a DNA segment comprising the nucleic acid sequences encoding the gene and DNA sequences encoding crystal toxin proteins wherein said DNA segment is stably integrated into a B. thuringiensis host by homologous recombination. The invention further relates to a DNA segment wherein the sporulation gene is mutated thereby rendering an oligosporogenic or asporogenic transformed B. thuringiensis as a result of stable integration of the DNA segment into the Bacillus thuringiensis chromosome by homologous recombination.
