Abstract: Disclosed is a formulation having at least two auxinic hormonal herbicides, normally used separately in applications to control a wide variety of broadleaf weeds, present in fields without cultivation, during chemical fallows, and in crops such as winter cereals, corn and sorghum, that together have a synergistic effect on weed control. This effect is even greater in the microemulsion formulation that includes at least the two active ingredients, if compared to the conventional tank mix, this greater efficiency being attributed to the chemical compatibility that exists in the “ready mix” achieved by the correct choice of emulsifiers to maintain active emulsion, physical compatibility that translates into greater biological efficacy. Preferably, the herbicidal composition has at least: (i) from 7.5% to 40% of 2,4-D in its acidic form; and (ii) from 1.2% to 35% of Dicamba in its acid formic as active ingredients, formulated together in a microemulsion type formulation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a pesticide composition for controlling Spodoptera frugiperda. The pesticide includes an auxiliary material, an active ingredient A and an active ingredient B. The active ingredient A is tea saponin, the active ingredient B is chlorantraniliprole or tolfenpyrad, and the mass ratio of the active ingredient A to the active ingredient B is 1-20:20-1. In the present invention, by mixing tea saponin with chlorantraniliprole or tolfenpyrad, a pesticide with certain ratio is prepared to control Spodoptera frugiperda, has the advantages of good effect and low dosage, and can delay the resistance of Spodoptera frugiperda to pesticides.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for controlling nematode populations, particularly soil nematode populations. Certain embodiments comprise applying 4-hydroxybenzylalcohol, Sinapis alba plant extract, Sinapis alba seed meal, or a combination thereof, to soil, optionally in the presence of a trap crop. A hatching factor and/or a nematicide may also be applied to the soil, either substantially simultaneously with the 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol, Sinapis alba plant extract, Sinapis alba seed meal, or combination thereof, or sequentially in any order. Certain embodiments concern applying 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol to soil that contains potato cyst nematode eggs. The 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol may be obtained by an aqueous extraction of Sinapis alba plant material.
