The present invention relates to a novel and synergistic agrochemical combination. The present invention provides agrochemical combination comprising a synergist and an herbicide or a fungicide and compositions thereof especially for controlling weeds and fungi.

The invention relates to the field of pesticide technology, and in particular a type of carboxylic acid derivative-substituted iminoaryl compound, preparation method, herbicidal composition and use thereof. The compound, as shown in general formula I:

##STR00001## wherein, Q represents

##STR00002##

Y represents halogen, haloalkyl or cyano; Z represents halogen; M represents CH or N; W represents OX.sub.5, SX.sub.5 or N(X.sub.5).sub.2; X represents —CX.sub.1X.sub.2-(alkyl).sub.n-, -alkyl-CX.sub.1X.sub.2-(alkyl).sub.n- or —(CH.sub.2).sub.r—; X.sub.3 and X.sub.4 each independently represent O, S, NH or N-alkyl, etc. The compound has excellent herbicidal activity against gramineous weeds, broadleaf weeds, cyperaceae weeds and so on even at low application rates, and has high selectivity for crops.

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.

Self-assembly is defined as the ability of an active ingredient (AI), when mixed with a polymer or polymers (solid or liquid state), to form either a complex or a strong attraction with the polymer/polymers, which influences the controlled release of the total system. This AI-polymer interaction or strong attraction can form in the solid state or in solution. The AI-polymer interaction also can form when applied to a filter paper, soil, seeds, or plant vegetation substrates, where the AI and polymer self-assembles into an AI-polymer-substrate matrix or complex that influences how the AI releases from the complex or matrix in a controlled manner.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) recombinant exosporium-producing Bacillus cells that express a fusion protein comprising: (i) at least one plant growth stimulating protein or peptide and (ii) a targeting sequence that localizes the fusion protein to the exosporium of the Bacillus cells; and b) at least one particular insecticide disclosed herein in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.
