Described herein, inter alia, is a composition comprising an agricultural agent in particulate form and a microfibrillated cellulose, and methods of making and using the aforementioned composition.

A composition that is used in combination with a useful substance to allow a plant to efficiently absorb the useful substance and potentiate the effects of the useful substance in the plant is provided. The composition includes a biosurfactant and a phospholipid. At least one type of the biosurfactant is selected from among a peptide-based biosurfactant and a sugar-based biosurfactant. The composition is applied to a plant separately from the useful substance or as a mixture with the useful substance.

The present invention relates to a method for post-emergent weed control, which comprises applying an effective amount of a composition comprising herbicide A (component A), 2,4-D (component B) and optionally herbicide C (component C) to emerged weeds, or an area, where weeds are growing.

An insect control device is provided for controlling insects in a household garbage receptacle used in an outdoor or semi-outdoor environment. The insect control device includes an outer housing with gas-flow apertures therein, a quantity of a gas-releasing insect poison contained within the housing, and an adhesive attaching element for securing the housing to an inner surface of a closed or lidded household garbage receptacle. Gas released by the insect poison flows out of the housing through the gas-flow apertures to permeate the air inside the enclosed garbage containment area and kill insects therein while the adhesive element keeps the device securely in place within the garbage receptacle and out of the reach of children and pets during both use and emptying of the receptacle.

The present invention relates to the technical field of delivery systems for agrochemical active ingredients or pharmaceutical active ingredients. The present invention primarily relates to certain compositions in solid form comprising as constituent (a) at least one agrochemical or pharmaceutical active ingredients, as constituent (b) urea, and as constituent (c) at least one non-ionic surfactant. The present invention also relates to products obtainable or obtained by the processes defined in the context of the present invention. The present invention further relates to formulations comprising these compositions or products and application mixtures obtainable or obtained by dilution of these compositions or products with water or aqueous surfactant solutions. The present invention further relates to processes for preparing these compositions, products, formulations and application mixtures as well as to uses thereof and methods of using these compositions, products, formulations and application mixtures.
