Abstract: A mycoherbicidal delivery composition prepared from an inoculum of a fungal pathogen in an amount sufficient to control growth of an aquatic weed on a biocarrier comprising a plurality of discrete particles derived from a residual cell mass remaining fter lipids, proteins and sugars have been removed from oil seeds. The composition is formed as a cohesive, non-agglutinating dough which is shaped and dried to a low moisture content. The composition is shelf stable in dried form and can be used for targeted delivery of the mycoherbicide to an aquatic weed.

Abstract: A biocarrier loaded with up to 60% by weight of a mixture including a biological control agent. The biocarrier is derived from the residual cell mass remaining after lipids and soluble proteins and sugars have at least in part been removed from crushed or ground oil seeds. The biological control agent is an agrochemical, biopesticide or mixtures thereof. When the product is formulated as a granule, tablet or briquette it has good hardness and produces substantially no dust, thereby reducing operator exposure to the biological control agent.

Abstract: A formulation is described for systemic delivery and controlled release of a trophic factor. The formulation comprises a glycolipid carrier component which delivers trophic factor, such as nerve growth factor, to a target organ. The glycolipid carrier protects the trophic factor from degradation by enzymes typically endogenous to the human body.
