The present disclosure provides non-intergeneric remodeled microbes that are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen and deliver such to plants in a targeted, efficient, and environmentally sustainable manner. The utilization of the taught microbial products will enable farmers to realize more productive and predictable crop yields without the nutrient degradation, leaching, or toxic runoff associated with traditional synthetically derived nitrogen fertilizer. The remodeled microbes taught herein are able to be combined with leading agricultural chemistry and elite germplasm. Furthermore, the disclosure provides seed treatments comprising remodeled microbes.

The present invention provides a formulation characterised by the simultaneous presence in cyclodextrin based supramolecular complexes, of two components, one of which is a neonicotinoid selected from the group consisting of Thiacloprid and Thiamethoxam and the other possesses an activity synergistic with the first, enhancing its effectiveness. The synergistic component that is able to synergistically enhance the activity of the active principle is piperonyl butoxide, and. Processes for preparing said formulation and its use for the activities herein indicated are further aspects of the present invention.

A termite bait includes a plurality of cellulosic food material pieces palatable to termites embedded within a water resistant polyurethane foam matrix. Another termite bait includes a plurality of cellulosic food material pieces embedded within a water-absorbent polyurethane foam matrix. Yet another termite bait includes at least one cellulosic food material piece encapsulated within a water resistant polyurethane foam coating. Such termite baits can be used alone or in a monitoring device or other termite control device. Another termite control device includes a container, a cellulosic food material within the container and a water resistant polyurethane foam positioned to separate the food material from its environment. The container can contain a termite bait as described above or can include a chamber containing a cellulosic food material and at least one pocket containing a polyurethane foam barrier to reduce intrusion of water through the pocket to the food material.
