Termicidal compositions containing cold pressed orange oil with high concentration D-Limonene and acrylic lacquer for protective repellents against termite infestation and termiticides for the control of termites are provided. Wood preservative and protective compositions for repelling and killing wood boring insects are provided. In addition, the invention is directed to methods for repelling and killing termites by applying a pesticidally-effective amount of the above pesticidal compositions to cellulosic materials where pest control is desired.

A clathrate of 1-methylcyclopropene with α-cyclodextrin, obtained as a solid particulate product, is modified by comminuting, classifying, or both to obtain a modified particulate. When subjected to identical atmospheric disgorgement conditions of humidity and temperature, identical masses of the modified and unmodified particulates exhibit different rates of 1-methylcyclopropene disgorgement. Specifically, we have found that a smaller mean particle size is inversely related to a greater rate of 1-methylcyclopropene release.

Disclosed herein is one or more aqueous seed coating composition comprising (i) a binder comprising a modified starch, and (ii) an active ingredient, which composition works at least as well as or better than an aqueous seed coating composition containing a synthetic polymer, and, surprisingly, better than aqueous seed coating compositions containing unmodified starch. The binder comprising a modified starch is water soluble, compatible with the active ingredients, and more cost effective than using primarily synthetic polymers as the binder in an aqueous seed coating composition. Additionally, the one or more aqueous seed coating compositions described herein provide excellent seed coating characteristics, including demonstrating good flowability, decreased dust-off, and uniform coating application.
