Abstract: A wind tunnel device defines a cyclical tunnel to receive continuous airflow. Airflow is delivered through the tunnel to a testing region that includes a first portion carrying an arm including a spray tip configured to spray particulates in the testing region at an angle, and a second portion including an enlarged cutout region configured to receive the angled sprayed particulates. As airflow carries the angled spray particulates into the second portion, the enlarged cutout region enables the spray particulates to pass through and exit the second portion of the testing region. Analysis in the second region may be conducted through transparent walls free of openings to minimize exposure of the spray particulates to the exterior of the device. A scrubber is adapted to extract spray mist from the airflow as the airflow exits the testing region and is re-circulated through the cyclical tunnel.

Abstract: An adjuvant that is applied to foliage or fruit or both of a plant and comprises an effective amount ammonium sulfate, an effective amount of an alkyl polysaccharide and n effective amount of a mono, di or polysaccharide. The adjuvant is dispersed in a selected amount of water along with a selected amount of micronutrients or secondary nutrients such that when applied to foliage or fruit or both of the plant, the adjuvant causes an increase in the intake of the micronutrients or secondary nutrients applied to foliage or fruit.

Abstract: A method of increasing the feed efficiency of an animal, the method including applying a suppression agent to surfaces of manure that are exposed to atmosphere, the suppression agent including acidulated plant-based soapstock, the manure located proximate the animal, the method also including providing feed to the animal.

Abstract: An odor reducing blend and a method for reducing odor of manure. The odor reducing blend contains an effective amount of acidulated soybean soapstock and an effective amount of an emulsifier. The method includes providing an odor reducing effective amount of a odor reducing blend. The method also includes mixing the odor reducing blend with manure.

Abstract: A method for reducing odor of an odoriferous herbicide is described. The method includes providing a nonionic surfactant blend. The nonionic surfactant blend has an effective concentration of an acidulated soybean soapstock and an effective concentration of nonoxynol. The method also includes mixing the nonionic surfactant blend with the odoriferous herbicide.

Abstract: The present invention includes a process for methylating free fatty acids in an acidulated soybean soapstock without altering a neutral oil component in the soybean soapstock. The present invention also includes a methylated acidulated soybean soapstock as well a herbicidal mixture that includes the methylated acidulated soybean soapstock.

Abstract: A nonionic surfactant blend is described for use with odoriferous compatible herbicides. The nonionic surfactant blend includes an effective amount of an acidulated soybean soapstock. The acidulated soybean soapstock includes a range of total fatty acids of about 94%-to-96% by volume and a moisture content of not more than about 5% by volume. The present invention also includes a method for reducing odor of a herbicide. The method includes providing an effective quantity of the improved nonionic surfactant blend for combination with the herbicide.
