Abstract: An agricultural composition for topical application to woody plant periderm, the composition comprising (a) an insecticide or a plant growth regulator, (b) an organosiloxane surfactant, and (c) water.

Abstract: An apparatus for wrapping material onto and around a pipe, the apparatus including a shaft, the shaft rotatable by a driving apparatus, a payout core containing material to be wrapped onto a pipe, the payout core releasably mounted on the shaft, a deflection arm assembly secured to the shaft for rotation by the shaft, rotation of the shaft rotating the deflection arm assembly with respect to the payout core so that the deflection arm assembly takes material from the payout core and wraps the material onto a pipe adjacent the deflection arm assembly, each of the shaft and deflection arm assembly having a central opening through which is movable the pipe as the pipe is being wrapped.

Abstract: A liner for pipe, methods to make liners, and methods for using them, the liner in one aspect including as a first layer a hollow cylinder of polymeric material, a second layer of wrap material around the first layer, a third layer of wrap material wrapped around the second layer, at least one strengthener member on the liner and extending from a first end thereof to a second thereof, and an exterior cover, the liner being a stand-alone structure.
