Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the control and the treatment of post-harvest diseases in fruits and vegetables by means of simultaneous and combined application of (i) a first formulation, which is aqueous or in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate, which comprises a plant extract and is applied in the form of an aqueous solution and (ii) a second formulation, in the form of an emulsifiable concentrate, soluble liquid or concentrated suspension, which is applied as an aqueous solution, selected from amongst: a plant-strengthening formulation that contains at least one phosphite salt; a fungicidal formulation that contains at least one synthetic fungicide of the phosphonate family, preferably ethyl phosphonic acid salts; or a combination thereof. Each formulation may be a different composition or form part of a single composition.

Abstract: The present invention consists of a computer security method that enables all users of a computer application to enjoy superior security levels when sensitive information is being exchanged with transaction applications. The method of the present invention consists of developing a virtual desktop or isolated execution environment that restricts the user to working in a specific zone. Said virtual desktop or isolated environment is programmed in such a way that message listening techniques such as hooking or quartz techniques are implanted for intercepting messages between the transaction application, such as the electronic bank, and the user's Operating System (OS). The method that is used in the present invention also blocks special key combinations in order to prevent malicious code execution in OS support devices, like Apple® IOS and Google™ Android, where special key combinations are not evident, but combinations such as “*#06#” exist.

Abstract: An insect control formulation including methyl eugenol, cue lure and a biodegradable wax carrier is a surprisingly effective attractant for Oriental fruit flies (Bactrocera dorsalis) and Melon flies (Bactrocera cucurbitae). Formulation embodiments that include at least one insect toxicant are surprisingly effective for use in fruit fly MAT attract and kill systems, and are suitable for on-crop or off-crop uses. Formulation embodiments can be provided as aqueous emulsions having viscosities appropriate for use in aerial or backpack spray applications or for delivery using caulk gun-type or grease pump-type devices. Other formulation embodiments can be provided as solid blocks, granules or powders.

Abstract: Insecticidal compositions comprising: (a) a biodegradable carrier; (b) an ammonium compound; (c) a protein source comprising one or more proteins; (d) a sugar source comprising one or more monosaccharides; (e) one or more insecticides; and (f) water; are disclosed as well as uses thereof.

Abstract: A pump having both a short stroke pumping mode and a long stroke pumping mode. The pump has two material cylinders, each with an attached hydraulic cylinder for operating a piston rod extending through both the material and hydraulic cylinders. The piston rods are driven by hydraulic fluid supplied to the hydraulic cylinders and are synchronized so that as one piston rod extends, the other piston rod retracts. The piston rods draw material into the material cylinders when retracting, and pump material out of the material cylinders when extending. To pump in a short stroke mode, a diverter valve is placed between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic cylinders which diverts an amount of hydraulic fluid to the cylinders, causing the hydraulic pistons to only be extended about half the length of the hydraulic cylinder.
