Abstract: The present invention provides a method for post-emergence selective weed control in turf sites by applying an herbicidal composition comprising sulfentrazone and quinclorac to a locus where weeds are present.
Abstract: There is a need for a selective, low-risk herbicide that can be used to control weeds in cereal cultures and turf. The present invention discloses that a bacterial secondary metabolite, thaxtomin and optionally another herbicide is an effective herbicide on broadleaved, sedge and grass weeds. Thaxtomin A and structurally similar compounds can be used as natural herbicides to control the germination and growth of weeds in cereal, turf grass, Timothy grass and pasture grass cultures with no phytotoxicity to these crops. As a natural, non-toxic compound, thaxtomin can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in both conventional and organic farming and gardening systems.
Abstract: A method for improving the growth of target plants at a locus is provided, the method comprising applying to the locus a growth-improving amount of compound (I): The method is suitable for improving the growth of a range of target plants, in particular improving the growth of sugarcane, rice, soybeans, oilseed rape and potato crops.

Abstract: Described herein are biofertilizer compositions that rely on a natural oil extract of Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) (TTO) where the macronutrient components in the composition contribute to the fertilizer mixture, particularly as a foliar fertilizer mixture. The compositions include both TTO macronutrients (NPK) and terpenes.
Abstract: Provided herein is Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain PMB05 used in the field of plant disease control. Inoculation of plants with the strain can increase immune responses induced by detection of fungi and/or bacteria in plant, for example, increase the production of ROS and deposition of callose. Also, the strain has the effect of promoting plant growth. Therefore, the strain and its culture filtrate of the present invention can boost plant disease resistance and promote plant growth, which can be extensively used to control plant diseases and have the potential of turning into a commodified biological control agent.

Abstract: A nanobionic approach for augmenting plant photoprotection and photosynthetic light energy conversion and carbon assimilation under abiotic (e.g., light) stress was used. Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) improve Arabidopsis maximum quantum yield of photosystem II (10%) and carbon assimilation (19%) by protecting leaf mesophyll chloroplasts from damaging reactive oxygen species (ROS). Nanoceria augments scavenging of superoxide and hydroxyl radicals. For the latter, there are not known scavenging enzymatic pathways.
