A composition including (a) at least one (thio)phosphoric acid triamide (T) according to the general formula (Ia)

R.sup.a1R.sup.a2N—P(X)(NH.sub.2).sub.2  (Ia)

wherein X is oxygen or sulfur; R.sup.a1 is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.20 alkyl, C.sub.3 to C.sub.20 cycloalkyl, C.sub.6 to C.sub.20 aryl, or dialkylaminocarbonyl group; R.sup.a2 is H; or R.sup.a1 and R.sup.a2 together with the nitrogen atom linking them define a 5- or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic radical, which optionally comprises 1 or 2 further heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur; and (b) at least one specific herbicide.

The present disclosure provides a method for treating rice. The method comprises the steps of: providing a domestic rice crop plant and at least one ACCase-inhibiting cyclohexanedione herbicide selected from the group consisting of cycloxydim, sethoxydim, tralkoxydim, and clethodim; applying an effective amount (measured in g AI/Ha) of the at least one cyclohexanedione herbicide to the domestic rice crop plant, post-emergence; thereby creating a treated rice plant; and growing the resulting treated rice plant.

Attractant blend compositions attractive to female mice include one or more pheromone components comprising one or more of 2,3,5-trithiahexane, 1-hexanol, and 3-methyl-2-pentanone; and one or more known attractants. The known attractants can include 3,4-dehydro-exo-brevicomin (“brevicomin”), 2-sec-butyl-4,5-dihydrothiazole (“thiazole”), and testosterone. Devices and methods of using the attractant blend compositions are also disclosed.

A packaged rodenticidal bait comprises a soft bait composition enrobed in a perforated thermoplastic film, wherein the soft bait composition comprises a blend of at least one edible fat, at least one particulate food component and at least one rodenticidally-active substance. Preferably, the thermoplastic film comprises one or more polyolefins. The perforated film used in the manufacture of the packaged bait according to the invention does not absorb fat, unlike conventionally-used paper sachets. The packaged bait composition of the invention is palatable to rodents such that rodents may take a lethal dose of a rodenticide from the bait in a single sitting.
