Plant growth compositions include a mixture of inert compounds and an active component combination of auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin. The plant growth compositions are auxin-dominant, and the ratio of cytokinin to auxin in the active component combination ranges from about 1:10.5 to about 1:4.5. The amount of cytokinin ranges from about 0.1 to 10 wt % by weight of the active component combination in plant growth compositions formulated for in-furrow application to corn plants. Methods of improving plant growth involve in-furrow, seed and/or foliar application of one or more plant types with a plant growth composition. Improvements in plant growth include increases in the average number of bushels produced per acre.

The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions of various pharmaceutical actives, especially lyophilic and hydrophilic actives containing Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or other alkyl derivatives thereof as a primary vehicle and/or to pharmaceutical compositions utilizing Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether or other alkyl derivatives thereof as a primary vehicle or as a solvent system in preparation of such pharmaceutical compositions. The pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention are safe, non-toxic, exhibits enhanced physical stability compared to conventional formulations containing such pharmaceutical actives and are suitable for use as injectables for intravenous and intramuscular administration, as well as for use as a preformed solution/liquid for filling in and preparation of capsules, tablets, nasal sprays, gargles, dermal applications, gels, topicals, liquid oral dosage forms and other dosage forms.

The disclosure is directed to methods of using hydrophilic bile acids for the treatment of viral infections.

An application of a series of compounds in controlling or killing mites. It has been found by comparison that the compounds, when compared with a control group, can reduce the survival time of mites; in particular, taraxerol, diosmetin, and taraxasteryl acetate can significantly shorten the survival time of mites, and can be used for miticide and mite control products (such as drugs, cosmetic products, daily products and so on).

A rat attractant composition is disclosed which includes one or more isolated additives. The composition is attractive to at least rats of the species Rattus norvegicus. Devices including the rat attractant composition and methods of using a rat attractant composition are also disclosed.
