Certain novel compounds of the formula I, N-oxides and acid addition salts and their preparation are also described.

Abstract: Described is the use of 2-undecyl acetate defined according to the structure: ##STR1## in attracting Aedes aegyptae.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for imparting insect repelling qualities to the hide or skin of animals by orally administering small but effective amounts of acetate salts to the animals, preferably on a daily basis.

Abstract: A method of controlling fungus is provided which comprises contacting said fungus with a fungicidally effective amount of a compound having the following structure: ##STR1## wherein R is a halogen ateom, andR.sup.1 is selected from the group consisting of substituted or unsubstituted, straight or branched alkyl having from about 1 to 6 carbon atoms, alkoxy having from about 1 to 6 carbon atoms, halo, provided that when any R.sup.1 is chloro, n is 2 and at least one R.sup.1 is meta-chloro, substituted or unsubstituted sulfamoyl, and substituted or unsubstituted carbamoyl,where n is 1 or 2.

Abstract: A process for producing a stable, bactericidal and fungicidal composition which consists essentially of bubbling air or oxygen into limonene, to produce an oxidized limonene having a rapid bactericidal activity as evidenced by the capability of killing at least 99.99% of the bacteria in a suitable culture medium inoculated with 10.sup.6 colony forming units of Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 per ml.

Abstract: Compositions, methods and apparatus provide for the control of Ixodid hard tick populations. The compositions comprise a cholesteryl ester and 2,6-dichlorophenol. In combination, these compounds attract and induce mating behavior in male ticks thus disrupting normal mating, with subsequent reduction in tick populations.

Abstract: A method of reducing cracking and peeling of human fingernails and toenails and, apparently, of polishing and hardening and toughening them. A finely divided powder comprising substantially pure dolomite is provided. The powder is manually rubbed on the fingernails for periods on a regular schedule. After a short time, fingernails that had previously been subject to chipping and cracking are found to resist chipping and cracking and to appear to have a harder and tougher surface.

Abstract: Cotton plants may be rendered male sterile while retaining substantial female fertility by contracting the plants with a gametocidally effective amount of a novel compound which has the formula: ##STR1## where X is oxygen, sulfur, or ##STR2## and where R is a substituted and unsubstituted aryl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkoxy and alkene group, and maintaining the effective amount for a sufficient time to form sterile plant flowers that can then be pollinated by a second variety cotton plant to provide cotton having hybrid cotton seeds.

Abstract: Synergistic antimicrobial and biocidal compositions comprising 2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one and one or more known biocides for more effective, and broader control of microorganisms in various industrial systems are disclosed.
