A liposome composition having a lipid bilayer membrane, made of a crude or de-oiled lecithin, at least one triglyceride, a non-triglyceride active agent, and conditioned water. The liposome composition may be utilized for purposes and treatments including increased plant growth, insecticide or insect repellant, inhibiting fruit decay, forensic labeling of plants, wound treatment, and cosmetic applications.

This invention is directed to synergists for organophosphate (OP), carbamate (CM) and/or pyrethroid/synthetic pesticides (SP). This invention is further directed to a composition comprising organophosphate, carbamate, and/or pyrethroid/synthetic pyrethroid, and at least one boronic acid derivative. This invention further provides methods for killing insect pests.

Modulation of inward potassium ion conductance with structurally diverse small-molecules in the arthropod salivary gland induces arthropod salivary gland failure that results in a reduction or elimination in the ability of the arthropod to feed. Administering Kir channel inhibitors reduces food intake, increases feeding time, reduces salivary gland secretion, induces mortality, and reduces transmission of vector-borne pathogens. Kir channel inhibitors induce these adverse effects in ticks, mosquitoes, horn flies, and aphids.
