Abstract: A process for the production of insecticide-modified bead material composed of expandable polystyrene (EPS) by extrusion, encompassing the steps of a) mixing, in a mixer, to incorporate a blowing agent and at least one insecticide from the group of the phenylpyrazoles, chlorfenapyr and hydramethylnon into a polymer melt which comprises at least one polystyrene, based on a vinylaromatic monomer, b) discharging the polymer melt comprising blowing agent, and c) pelletizing the polymer melt comprising blowing agent.

Abstract: Insecticide-modified bead material composed of expandable polystyrene (EPS) coated with (A) one or more insecticides (B) one or more glycerol esters (C) if desired, one or more binders, and (D) if desired, further additives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel pesticide compositions in the form of a gel material or a solid material which are suitable for combating arthropod pests, in particular insects. The pesticide composition in the form of a gel or solid contains i) 0.001 to 50% by weight of at least one pesticide compound which is effective against arthropod pest, ii) 0.5 to 20% by weight of at least one superabsorbent polymer P having an absorption capacity for deionised water of at least 100 g per 1 g of polymer P, and iii) 5 to 94.5% by weight of at least one filler material different from water, and iv) 5 to 94.5% by weight of water, wherein the % by weight are based on the total weight of the composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a pesticide composition in the form of a water absorbent granular material and to the use of such compositions for combating arthropod pests, in particular soil-living arthropod pests, and nematodes, with particular preference given to soil-living insect pests. The pesticide composition according to the invention as a water absorbent granular material, which contains: i) from 0.001 to 10% by weight of at least one pesticide compound, in particular a pesticide compound that is active against said soil-living arthropod pest, ii) from 80 to 99.

Abstract: A lignocellulosic composite material and a method for preparing the lignocellulosic composite material are disclosed. The composite material is formed from lignocellulosic particles and a binder resin. The binder resin comprises a polyisocyanate, at least one of insecticide and/or fungicide that are dispersed throughout the polyisocyanate. The insecticide and/or fungicide is also dispersed throughout the lignocellulosic particles. Since the insecticide and/or fungicide is dispersed throughout the composite material, the composite material is insect resistant and is able to withstand insect attacks and prevent fungus growth and decay.

Abstract: Pesticidal mixtures comprising, as active components, 1) an 1-arylpyrazole of the formula I wherein R1 is CN, C(?O)C1-C4-alkyl, or C(?S)NH2; R2 is S(O)nR3; R3 is C1-C6-alkyl; R4 is hydrogen, halogen, amino, C1-C6-alkylamino, di(C1-C6-alkyl)amino, or 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino); W is N or CR5; R5, R6 and R7 are, each independently, hydrogen, halogen, or C1-C6-haloalkyl; n is 0, 1 or 2; or its salts and 2) a compound of the formula II, or its salts, in synergistically effective amounts; use of this mixture for combating insects, arachnids, or nematodes; method for protecting plants against these pests; and method for treating, controlling, preventing or protecting a warm-blooded animal or a fish against infestation or infection by pests which comprises orally, topically or parenterally administering or applying to said animal or fish a pesticidally effective amount of this mixture.

Abstract: A method of protecting a corn plant from destructive insects which comprises applying to the seed from which it grows or the soil from which the seed grows a composition comprising an insecticidal 1-arylpyrazole and an insect repellent. A composition comprising the insecticidal 1-arylpyrazole and the repellent.

Abstract: A method of increasing protein expression encoded by a foreign gene in plants which comprises treating a locus comprising the plant or the seed from which it grows with aldicarb. A method of controlling pests at a locus, which locus comprises a plant containing a gene which encodes for Bt endotoxin, the method comprising the application of aldicarb at the plant or at the seed from which it grows. A method of controlling weeds at a locus, which locus comprises a plant containing a foreign gene which encodes a protein imparting tolerance to an herbicide, wherein the herbicide is applied in locus to plant, the method comprising the application of aldicarb to the plant or to the seed from which it grows. A method of increasing the time during which an herbicide may be applied to an herbicide tolerant plant, which method comprises applying a systemic pesticide to the plant or to a seed from which it grows.

Abstract: A flexible and potable water hose and ridged conduit support systems in a aircraft provides a self-locating snap-in potable water support bracket which supports a generally cylindrical tray for receiving a potable water hose. The bracket slips over a structural beam flange without requiring that the structural member be drilled or otherwise prepared for fastening of the bracket. Attachment is maintained through frictional compression by the bottom of the bracket.
