The invention provides herbicidal compositions and methods for weed control with the herbicidal compositions comprising auxin or auxin-like herbicide and ethoxylated lecithin. The undesired vegetation may be controlled using the herbicidal compositions and methods within and without damage to agricultural crops, turf grasses, or ornamental plants. The herbicidal compositions and methods of use disclosed provide for the improvement in post-emergence undesired vegetation control.

In one aspect, the invention relates to chemical modulators of insect olfactory receptors. In particular, compounds and compositions are provided that can inhibit sensory (e.g., host targeting) functions in airborne insects such as mosquitos. Methods of employing such agents, and articles incorporating the same, are also provided. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

The present invention relates to compositions of microencapsulated organic compounds, such as pesticides, including insecticides, and methods of making and using the microcapsules. Encapsulating materials include proteins and degradable polymers. These microencapsulated organic compounds provide, for example, increased effective working time of pesticides, resulting in lowered need for reapplication of the pesticides.

The present invention is related to a plant biostimulant adjuvant and a method of treating a crop with a plant biostimulant adjuvant. The plant biostimulant adjuvant comprises a plant biostimulant comprising at least one of an amino acid or a peptide derived from a plant source. The plant biostimulant adjuvant also comprises an alkyl amine alkoxylate defined by the formula:

##STR00001##

wherein:
R.sup.1 is an alkyl of 6 to 22 carbons;
each R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are each independently H or CH.sub.3.
n and m are each at least one and taken together n+m is 5 to 25;
and water.
