A non-hazardous bio-pesticide, nematicide, and plant nutrient composition includes a mechanical insecticide and a biofertilizer and may further include a binder. The composition provides a natural pesticide defense when introduced at or near the plant rhizosphere, controlling and killing plant pathogenic nematodes and nematode larvae and introducing plant nutrients and growth promoters into the soil to promote water conservation.

Disclosed are compositions that include treated biodiesel glycerin. The disclosed compositions may be utilized as soil-amendments for controlling pests, weeds and for enhancing growth of plants. The biodiesel glycerin utilized in the disclosed compositions may be treated by one or more steps including neutralization, heating, refluxing, condensing, and distilling.

Aspects of the invention include compositions for controlling plant parasitic nematodes. Compositions according to certain embodiments include a carbon skeleton energy compound, a chelating agent, macronutrients, micronutrients, an ionophore, exotic micronutrients and a plant parasitic nematode antagonist. Methods for using the compositions of the invention to control plant parasitic nematodes and kits having one or more compositions for controlling plant parasitic nematodes are also described.

A composition comprising herbicidal mixtures of mesotrione impregnated into or coated on the surface of a granular substrate material such as a fertilizer granule and/or a solid inert carrier material is provided for use to control weeds in turfgrasses without causing damage to the grass and methods for the use thereof.

The water dispersible granule according to the present disclosure includes aggregates, wherein each of the aggregates includes: one type of an agrochemical active ingredient powder and a carrier composed only of a low hygroscopic water-soluble powder, wherein the agrochemical active ingredient is tert-butyl {6-{[(Z)-(1-methyl-1H-5-tetrazolyl)phenylmethylene]aminooxymethyl}-2-pyridyl}carbamate.

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the vigor and/or crop yield of agricultural plants under essentially non-existent pathogen pressure, wherein the plants, the plant propagules, the seed of the plants and/or a locus where the plants are growing or are intended to grow are treated with an effective amount of a composition comprising a Bacillus subtilis strain with Accession No. NRRL B-21661, a mutant of the strain having all the identifying characteristics of the strain, or a cell-free extract thereof; wherein the vigor and/or crop yield of agricultural plants under essentially non-existent pathogen pressure is increased and the increase in vigor is characterized by less fertilizer needed.

Methods of treating a plant exposed to a phytotoxicant are provided. Embodiments of the subject methods include identifying a plant exposed to a phytotoxicant and applying an assimilable carbon-skeleton energy component-comprising composition to the identified plant. Embodiments of the subject compositions may include one or more of a macronutrient component, micronutrient component, vitamin/cofactor component, complexing agent and microbe. Kits for use in practicing the subject invention are also provided. The subject methods find use in a variety of different applications in which a plant is phytotoxic or at least in danger of becoming phytotoxic due to exposure or potential exposure to a phytotoxicant.

The present subject matter relates generally to stable and homogeneous aqueous suspension compositions comprising urea, water, a suspension agent, urease inhibitor N-(n-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) and nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide (DCD), and to methods of preparing and using such compositions.

Compositions and methods are provided for benefiting plant growth. In particular aspects, the compositions contain a biologically pure culture of Bacillus sp. D747 strain (deposited as FERM BP-8234) and an insecticide in a formulation suitable for dissolution in a liquid fertilizer.

The present invention is directed to a fertilizer composition comprising a cannabidiol (CBD Oil), and/or a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC Oil) and/or hemp oil derivatives in combination with a superabsorbent polymer(s) (SAP's). The present invention also relates to methods of using and manufacturing said fertilizers.
