Tea tree cultivation, and specifically relates to use of sodium selenite in prevention and/or alleviation tea tree sunburn in the prevention and/or alleviation tea tree sunburn. Specifically, the sodium selenite is applied to the tea tree to prevent and/or alleviate sunburn of the tea tree, avoid damage(s) caused by high temperature and drought weather to the tea tree, and reduce losses caused by the sunburn. The method for preventing and/or alleviating tea tree sunburn using sodium selenite is simple to operate and highly efficient. Compared with the existing methods of shading, reasonable dense planting, soil cultivation, drought prevention, and timely irrigation, the method in the present disclosure shows lower economic and labor costs, such that tea farmers can achieve a higher profit.

A sugar composition of the present invention is a formulation containing sugar that can be easily absorbed into plant leaves and stems and immature fruits. When the sugar composition is diluted or dissolved in water and sprayed onto plant leaves and stems and immature fruits, sugar is rapidly absorbed into a plant and translocated like sugar produced through photosynthesis, and thus, the sugar composition can exhibit various effects such as plant growth promotion, fruit fattening, fruit coloring promotion, and increased sugar content in fruits. In addition, since sugar is rapidly absorbed into the inside of leaves after being sprayed onto the leaves, there is the effect in which the concentration of sugar remaining on the surface is rapidly lowered, and thus, the sugar composition can be safety used in the control of pest such as mites and aphids.

Compositions, and methods, for selectively controlling and killing invasive flatworms in Phylum Platyhelminthes. The compositions and methods are designed to control invasive flatworms, their eggs, their cocoons, and their reproductive fragments in and on plants, plant tissue, plant transportative material, water, soil, turf, roots, root balls, sidewalks, drive ways, play areas, common areas, and surfaces and substrates that are both permeable and impermeable. The composition comprises: 1) degreasing solvent, 2) a surfactant compound, 3) an acid or base, and 4) a monohydric alcohol.

The present invention relates to silica aerogels with a high to very high loading (55-90% w/w) of encapsulated biocidal and/or biorepellant compounds, high porosity and low thermal conductivity and to methods of making and using such aerogels in antifouling compositions, which are especially suitable for both onshore and offshore coatings (marine paints, coatings, sealants, lacquers, wood protection or similar controlled leaching systems) that are naturally exposed to humid conditions and/or water, including sea water, and thus prone to fouling.
