Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for increasing the lateral root development of a plant by exposing said plant to a composition containing a synthetic amphiphile. By increasing the number of lateral roots, the surface area of the root structure is increased, making the plants better able to survive such stresses as drought or low nutrients.

Abstract: A coated powder comprises (a) nanoparticles, and (b) a coating, on the surface of the nanoparticles. The coating comprises (1) silica moieties, (2) organo oxysilane moieties selected from the group consisting of mono-organo oxysilane moieties, bi-organo oxysilane moieties and tri-organo oxysilane moieties, and (3) poly(dialkyl)siloxane moieties.

Abstract: A trichome and pistil maturing bud finisher plant treatment formula to which plants, pollinators, and humans respond favorably but which deters insects and contagions. The formulas include a series of edible spices claimed in specific ratios. The spices comprise food grade products manufactured for human consumption and specifically comprise Garlic, Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Clove, Black Pepper, Powdered Ancho Chili, Coriander, Cayenne, Cumin, Fenugreek, Nutmeg, and Oregano. In the bud finisher formula, these spices are mixed with potassium bicarbonate in a first container in relative quantities. Meanwhile, the bud finisher formula requires mixing sesame oil with apple cider vinegar, also in a particular ratio. The bud finisher formula matures pistils and trichomes. An alternative bud shield formula excludes the potassium bicarbonate and apple cider vinegar to also mature trichomes but matures pistils at a slower rate. After dilution the plant treatment formula is applied to all surfaces of the plant.

Abstract: Methods of treating a heart condition include administering by inhalation an effective amount of at least one antiarrhythmic pharmaceutical agent to a patient in need thereof. Nebulized drug product and kits are also contemplated.

Abstract: Salts of N-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)arylcarboxamides of the general formula (I) are described as herbicides. In this formula (I), X, Z and R are radicals such as hydrogen, organic radicals such as alkyl, and other radicals such as halogen. A is nitrogen or carbon. M+ is a cation.

Abstract: An adjuvant composition that contains (a) one or more anionic surfactant compounds, (b) one or more one or more fatty acid alkyl ester compounds, and (c) one or more salts is useful as a component of pesticide compositions.

Abstract: There is described a composition comprising a microparticle component; optionally an encapsulated active agent; and a preservative amount of one or more terpenes.

Abstract: A medicinal drug is administered to a person for treating allergic rhinitis, hemorrhoids, toothache, bromhidrosis, or urticaria. The medicinal drug is formed at least partially with salt of peroxymonosulfuric acid, preferably potassium hydrogen peroxymonosulfate.

Abstract: An essential oil blend diluted in soybean oil against the bites of Anopheles stephensi, An. gambiae (the main malaria vectors in Asia and Africa, respectively); Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus (the main vectors of arboviruses listed above). Repellency tests, appraising the protection time for each species, were performed under laboratory conditions using human volunteers and nulliparous female mosquitoes. The results show that the natural repellent was extraordinarily effective against both Anopheles and Aedes genera.
