Described herein are processes for preparing aqueous suspensions of organic pesticides. The processes include inducing crystallization of an amorphous organic pesticide with a crystalline organic pesticide where the crystalline organic pesticide and amorphous organic pesticide are not identical. Also described herein are aqueous pesticide formulations including the prepared aqueous suspensions.

A plant growth promoting system according to the present invention makes foliar application of nitric oxide containing a mineral material, an enzymatic material, and a soil microorganism to a root part and leaves of a plant by pressure spraying, makes foliar application of carbonated water containing a plant growth promoter and a moisture fluctuation inhibitor to leaves of the plant by pressure spraying, and applies quantum energy to a round surface and an aerial part of the plant, thus providing the effect of promoting the growth of the plant.

A system for reducing the incidence or severity of fungal infection of a plant, comprising a chemical fungicide component, which may be provided by foliar or root (soil or liquid nutrient) application, together with an antifungal plant defensin not in nature expressed in the plant being protected or expressed in lower amounts or in different tissues, provides synergistic improvement in protection against infection by a plant pathogenic fungus which is susceptible to the defensin and the fungicide. The fungicide can be a strobilurin or a triazole, and the defensin can be selected from a wide range of known defensins, for example, NaD1 and others, or it can be a chimeric defensin engineered for low toxicity to the plant. The defensin can be provided as a protein formulation, optionally together with the fungicide, or it can be provided by recombinant expression in the plant to be protected from fungal infection.

Synergistic composition able to rapidly and efficiently terminate Rhynchophorus ferrugineus infestation, in palms or other species suffering from this parasite. The composition comprises one or more among permethrin, cypermethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin; one or more among chlorpyrifos methyl, and chlorpyrifos ethyl; furthermore, benzisothiazolin-3-one, piperonyl butoxide, imidacloprid. The parasite dies shortly after contact with the product, infestation is terminated, and the palm remains protected against new attacks for a long time; the product is not toxic to the palm, on the contrary the plant recovers a level of health even higher than the initial one.
