A novel wettable power or water dispersible granule for agrochemical formulations. Said wettable power or water dispersible granule comprising dispersants, mineral based fillers, and microorganism or microbes. Where the dispersants in particular are selected from acrylic copolymers and copolymer of acrylic acid with hydrophobic monomers and alkylacrylate of a monoalkyl polyethylene glycol. The fillers are in particular mica particles coated with metal oxide, kaolin, silica, or calcium carbonate. A pre-blend is also provided for forming the formulation. There is also provided the use of said wettable power or water dispersible granule for treating vegetation to control pests by applying the formulation, or use for seed coatings.

Disclosed is a composition or formulation and methods for inducing Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) in plants, optimizing plant health, increasing yields, improving crop quality, and resisting pathogens and pests, and suppress plant virus. Also disclosed are a method of initiating and inducing a superior SAR response by application of and method of treatment with a formulation of salicylate molecules. Further disclosed is a method of preventing viral infections, suppressing plant virus in infected plants, returning plants to an outwardly healthy state, and achieving a successful harvest.

A method of reducing a biofilm, including mixing a cobalt salt and an iron salt in water to form a solution. The method further includes adding an aloe vera extract to the solution and stirring for 1 hour to 10 hours at a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius ( C.) to 80 C. to form a gel. Heating the gel to form a foam, calcining the foam at a temperature of 600 C. to 1000 C. for 1 hour to 3 hours to form CoFe.sub.2O.sub.4 NPs, and contacting the CoFe.sub.2O.sub.4 NPs with a biofilm on a surface. The CoFe.sub.2O.sub.4 NPs reduce an amount of the biofilm after the contacting. The CoFe.sub.2O.sub.4 NPs have an average size of 5 nanometers (nm) to 35 nm. The CoFe.sub.2O.sub.4 NPs form aggregates having an average size of 500 micrometers (m) to 1 m.

Disclosed are agricultural compositions comprising a jasmonate, a seaweed and a surfactant. Also disclosed are methods of using the compositions for altering secondary metabolite production in a plant or plant part.

The instant invention refers to nanosystems comprising nanocomposites for adsorption or support of natural extracts; a process for the preparation thereof; formulations containing thereof, as well as a nanomaterial that adsorbs one or more essential oils in its surface. Specially, one object of the invention is the encapsulation of natural extracts, i.e., essential oils and/or natural pure bioactive compounds and optionally terpenoid, sesquiterpenoid, diterpenoid, sesterterpenoid, triterpenoid, carotenoid, and ricinoid compounds; complementary acids, 10 and polysaccharides; vitamins, and other organic compounds, in mesoporous materials for application in different industries such as food, agricultural, veterinary, aquacultural, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfection industries, as well as in medicine.

An aerosol dispensing device including an aerosol valve in fluid communication with a reservoir. A nozzle is in fluid communication with the aerosol valve. The nozzle includes a nozzle insert with an exit orifice and a nozzle body to receive the nozzle insert. The nozzle body is in fluid communication with the aerosol valve. A primary swirl chamber is in fluid communication with one or more inlet ports. The exit orifice is disposed generally concentric with the primary swirl chamber and a secondary swirl chamber and is in fluid communication therewith. The inlet port(s) are in fluid communication with the aerosol valve and may enter the primary swirl chamber non-tangentially. The secondary swirl chamber has a first and second diameter. A ratio of the first diameter to the second diameter is greater than about 1 and less than about 1.6. The pest control composition is non-Newtonian.
