The present invention relates to biocide-composites providing high retention of biocides in glueline-treated glued-wood products that are hot-pressed or hot-pressed and block-stacked during manufacture.

The present invention relates to a composition for increasing the retention of a biocide in a glueline-treated glued-wood product, a method for increasing the retention of a biocide in a glueline-treated glued-wood product, a glueline-treated glued-wood product, a glue for producing a glueline-treated glued-wood product, and the use of a composition for increasing the retention of a biocide in a glued-wood product.

The present invention relates to a composition for increasing the retention of a biocide in a glueline-treated glued-wood product, a method for increasing the retention of a biocide in a glueline-treated glued-wood product, a glueline-treated glued-wood product, a glue for producing a glueline-treated glued-wood product, and the use of a composition for increasing the retention of a biocide in a glued-wood product.

Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, Hemipteran, fungi and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
