  • Seed index system for treating agricultural seeds
    Patent number: 10649470
    Abstract: Seed index system and methods for treating agricultural seeds with one or more seed care products employing a size-adjusted application rate based on the size of the seeds. Such size-adjusted application rates can be determined by a supplier of seed care products and communicated to an applicator who applies the seed care product to a quantity of seeds. Such size-adjusted application rates can be in the form of a chart, an equation, or a calculator.

  • Soil-Wetting Insecticide
    Publication number: 20080269299
    Abstract: A soil-applied composition for controlling turf-damaging pests is an aqueous solution including a neonicotinoid insecticide, such as an imidacloprid-based insecticide, and a nonionic surfactant. The composition may also include a bio-stimulant to aid in turf recovery, a humectant, or both a bio-stimulant and a humectant. An effective amount of the composition may be applied to a region of soil or turf in order to control turf-damaging pests, such as white grubs.
