A composition for controlling nematodes contains plant essential oil, and more particularly, geraniol. The composition is derived from natural substances and is thus environmentally friendly, and exhibits superior nematocidal effects without causing phytotoxicity, and thus can be efficiently used as a nematicide.

The present application relates to the use of Daucus carota plants which do not belong to the Daucus carota subsp. sativus subspecies of cultured carrots to disinfect a culture medium infested with Heterodera carotae nematodes, using the nematicidal power of the plants. The present application also relates to Daucus carota plants which are resistant to the Heterodera carotae nematode, and to methods for culturing such plants which make it possible to reduce the population of Heterodera carotae nematodes present in a culture medium.

Compositions and methods for treating and preventing arthropod infestation are disclosed. A method of treating an arthropod infestation in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering topically to the subject an effective amount of either an insecticidal composition consisting essentially of at least one essential oil and a pentacyclosiloxane or an insecticidal composition comprising at least one essential oil, a pentacyclosiloxane, and a mineral oil.

A trichome and pistil maturing bud finisher plant treatment formula to which plants, pollinators, and humans respond favorably but which deters insects and contagions. The formulas include a series of edible spices claimed in specific ratios. The spices comprise food grade products manufactured for human consumption and specifically comprise Garlic, Ginger, Cinnamon, Turmeric, Clove, Black Pepper, Powdered Ancho Chili, Coriander, Cayenne, Cumin, Fenugreek, Nutmeg, and Oregano. In the bud finisher formula, these spices are mixed with potassium bicarbonate in a first container in relative quantities. Meanwhile, the bud finisher formula requires mixing sesame oil with apple cider vinegar, also in a particular ratio. The bud finisher formula matures pistils and trichomes. An alternative bud shield formula excludes the potassium bicarbonate and apple cider vinegar to also mature trichomes but matures pistils at a slower rate. After dilution the plant treatment formula is applied to all surfaces of the plant.
