Abstract: A method for controlling insect pests on a plant is provided. The method includes applying to the plant and/or to the insect pests a combination comprising: a nitrogen-bearing macrocyclic compound which is a photosensitizer that generates reactive oxygen species in the presence of light, the photosensitizer being selected from the group consisting of a porphyrin, a reduced porphyrin and a mixture thereof; and a chelating agent which is an aminopolycarboxylic acid compound or an agriculturally acceptable salt thereof; and exposing the plant to light in the presence of the insect pests to activate the nitrogen-bearing macrocyclic compound and generate reactive oxygen species.

Abstract: A floating dock includes a frame, a float, and first and second dock posts. The frame has a first longitudinal section and a second longitudinal that define a slip there between. The dock posts are operatively secured to and project upward from the frame and are on opposite sides of the slip. The posts have self-adjusting line systems including a slide, an elongate member, an upper stop, a lower stop, and a line. The slide is slidable along the elongate member between the upper stop and the lower stop. The line is coupled to the slide. The line is adapted to tether the slide to a watercraft. The slides are capable of moving independently to allow vertical translation, pitch, and roll of the watercraft while the watercraft is secured within the slip.
