The invention discloses environment-controlling fibers, method manufacturing the same and fabrics using the same, which adopts polyolefin material, optoelectronic material, thermoelectric material, piezoelectric material and catalyst material, to make fibers and fabric by melting, mixing, drawing and weaving. The fabrics are used in all kinds of environmental control products or for organic agriculture. To use green energy such as solar light energy, solar thermal energy, wind energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy and other renewable energy to stimulate the function of the special material within the fibers, so that the fabrics can remove pollutants in the environment and produce self-purification function to achieve the purpose of improving the environmental conditions or promote plant growth.

Compositions containing 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, nonanal and decanal. Methods of attracting the small hive beetle Aethina tumida, involving treating an object or area with a small hive beetle Aethina tumida attracting effective amount of a composition containing 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, nonanal and decanal, and optionally a carrier. The composition does not contain any other compound produced by the small hive beetle Aethina tumida other than 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, nonanal and decanal.

The present disclosure describes a treated cellulosic material comprising: a cellulosic material having a porous structure defining a plurality of pores, at least a portion of the pores containing a treating agent comprising: a polymer comprising an olefin-carboxylic acid copolymer; and a modifying agent comprising a hydrophobic amine.

A small animal repellent wherein an aromatic compound capable of repelling small animals is infused into a salt so that the aromatic compound can be released over an extended period of time such as days or weeks.

Compositions, devices, and methods are disclosed for treating or preventing fungal infection in an animal are provided. The methods involve exposing the animal to one or more volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in a quantity sufficient to inhibit or reduce fungal growth in the animal. Also disclosed is an automated aerosolization unit (AAU) for delivering compositions, such as the disclosed VOCs, to areas, such as habitats, to treat or prevent fungal infections in animals.

The present disclosure relates to compositions containing a mixture of e.g. one or more or two or more compounds released by a citrus plant in quantities that are altered during infection with Huanglongbing disease, where the composition is an attractant for psyllids. Furthermore, compositions contain one or more active compounds which constitute a synthetic chemical blend for attracting psyllids. Active compounds in the compositions may include, for example, one or more compounds selected from linalool, tridecane, 4-OH-4-Me-2-pentanone, hexacosane, 1-tetradecene, tricosane, geranial, tetradecanal, phenylacetaldehyde, methyl salicylate, cumacrene, (E)-beta-ocimene, hexadecanol, and geranyl acetone.
