A method for mosquito control is provided in the form of mosquito larvicide carrying insects which can be introduced in a mosquito population to thereby control the mosquito population. The larvicide carrier insects may include artificially generated adult insect carriers of a mosquito larvicide in which the mosquito larvicide has minimal impact on the adult insect carrier and which mosquito larvicide affects juvenile mosquito survival or interferes with metamorphosis of juvenile mosquitoes to adulthood. The larvicide carrier insects may be either male or female and may include mosquitoes and non-mosquito insects.

Disclosed are compounds having a monoterpenoid and/or phenylpropanoid moiety and methods of their making and use as pesticidal compounds, such as seed treatments.

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe diapocarotenoid plant growth regulators represented by formula (I): R-A-R (I) or a precursor, salt, solvate, stereoisomer or polymorph thereof; wherein R is a monovalent carbonyl moiety selected from the group consisting of aldehydes, ethers, diethers, carboxylic acids, alcohols, and ester carboxylates and A is a bivalent polyene represented by the bivalent moiety —(CR.sub.a═CR.sub.b).sub.x—, wherein x is the number of double bonds in polyene moiety A, and R.sub.a and R.sub.b are, independently, hydrogen, a hydrocarbon, or an alkoxy group, and composition of the diapocarotenoid plant growth regulators in an agronomically acceptable carrier. Methods of regulating plant growth including promoting root development, increasing nutrient uptake, enhancing resistance to abiotic stress factors, invigorating plant growth, increasing plant yield, and increasing plant biomass by applying at least one diapocarotenoid plant growth regulator to a seed, plant propagation material, plant or plant growth medium are also described.
