Abstract: An environmentally safe selective herbicide is provided that includes at least one metal component and at least one chelating agent. The metal component can have a variety of forms, but is preferably in the form of a metal salt, a metal chelate, or combinations thereof. The chelating agent can also have a variety of forms, but is preferably in the form of a metal chelate, a salt, an acid, or combinations thereof Methods of use are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides an environmentally compatible, pesticidal composition and method for the control of insect pests. The composition includes two components. The first component is a chelating agent, a metal complex of a chelating agent, and mixtures thereof, and the second component is preferably a carrier material.

Abstract: An environmentally safe, pesticidally effective composition is provided to control insect/mite pests. In an exemplary embodiment, a composition is provided that includes a pesticidally effective, yet environmentally safe, concentration of at least one spinosyn with at least one additional contact-acting insecticide and/or miticide and at least one solvent or carrier.

Abstract: Bait compositions of spinosyns in combination with metal complexones and other mollusicides are provided in an environmentally safe composition that is effective to a treat and/or control a wide spectrum of insect and mollusc pests.

In another embodiment, an improved selective herbicide, as well of methods of controlling unwanted plants using such a herbicide, are provided. A method for treating undesired vegetation can include providing a selective herbicidal composition that includes a water-soluble selective auxin-type herbicide and a chelating agent complexed with at least one transition metal, and contacting vegetation with a herbicidally effective amount of the composition such that unwanted vegetation is controlled, while desired vegetation is unaffected.

Abstract: An environmentally safe pesticidal liquid suspension composition including a mixture of sulfur combined with pyrethrins and/or pyrethroids is provided. The pesticidal composition is effective to control plant diseases, as well as insect and mite pests. The composition can be prepared as concentrated or ready-to-use formulations. Formulations can be applied to plants, both indoors and outdoors, to control plant disease and insect and mite pests and reduce plant damage from such pests. The formulations can be applied to plants with minimal phytotoxicity (plant damage) and do not leave unacceptable levels of visible sulfur residue.

Abstract: The pyrethrin-based nonphytotoxic arthropodicide is effective against a wide range of pests and is suitable for domestic and gardening uses. The composition comprises a trigliceride component derived from vegetable seed oils, a pyrethrum extract, and one or more surfactants. Optionally, antioxidants and emulsifiers may be added as well.

Abstract: A non-phytotoxic, environmentally compatible composition provides improved efficacy against soft-bodied insects and mites. The composition comprises a fatty acid salt active ingredient and an adjuvant that surprisingly increases the spreadability and efficacy of the active ingredient. The active ingredient is a potassium, sodium, ammonium, or alkanolamine salt of one or a mixture of monocarboxylic fatty acids having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. The adjuvant can be a fatty alcohol having from 4 to 18 carbon atoms, or a methyl or ethyl ester of fatty acids having from 4 to 18 carbon atoms. The ratio of the adjuvant to the active ingredient ranges from about 1:0.1 to 1:50.
