Formulations of pesticides are disclosed, specifically pesticidal blends of essential oils and other ingredients, that have been found to enhance the activity of the active pesticidal ingredients. The formulations may be, for example, emulsions or dust formulations. For example, a composition for controlling a target pest is disclosed that comprises at least one active agent and a formulation agent, wherein: the active agent is capable of interacting with a receptor in the target pest; the active agent has a first activity against the target pest when applied without the formulation agent and the composition has a second activity against the target pest; and the second activity is greater than the first activity.

This invention refers to a formulation and a composition that promote the pollination of kiwifruit crops by selectively inducing the pollinating activity of bees. It also refers to a method for targeting the pollinating activity of bees to kiwifruit crops.

The present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of liquid or sludge slow-release compositions suitable for agricultural use, comprising one or more active ingredients selected from the group consisting of fertilizers, pesticides, lipophilic and/or hydrophilic compounds, and mixtures of non-pathogenic bacteria together with lipophilic and/or hydrophilic compounds, wherein these actives become encapsulated in an alginate matrix. The direction also encompasses compositions prepared by this process and methods for using said compositions for the delivery and slow release of agrochemicals and other actives in close proximity to the roots of plants.
