The present invention relates to compounds which are of use in the field of agriculture as fungicides.

In one aspect, the invention relates to chemical modulators of insect olfactory receptors. In particular, compounds and compositions are provided that can inhibit sensory (e.g., host targeting) functions in airborne insects such as mosquitos. Methods of employing such agents, and articles incorporating the same, are also provided. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

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.
