The invention discloses a synergist for improving crop resistance and fertilizer absorption capacity. The synergist includes the following components by weight: 20-30 parts of an oyster shell powder, 20-30 parts of a water chestnut skin powder, 10-20 parts of a chinaberry bark powder, 10-20 parts of a magnetic material, 10-20 parts of an illite powder, 5-10 parts of a shiitake mushroom polysaccharide extract. The synergist can, on one hand, improve the resistance of crops, especially reducing the pests and diseases significantly, improving waterlogging and drought resistance; and, on the other hand, greatly reduce the use of fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, preventing soil compaction. It can also significantly increase the content of active polysaccharides, especially β-glucan in crops. In addition, the raw materials are readily available, the cost is low, and there are significant economic benefits.

This invention provides low-dose, low-concentration formulations of phytotoxic trace inorganic compounds for use in methods and systems for selectively and effectively controlling invasive plants.

Water dispersible granules are provided containing (a) an agrochemical active ingredient that is solid at 25° C., (b) a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether phosphate or its salt, (c) at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of arylsulfonates or their formaldehyde condensates, ligninsulfonates, and polycarboxylates, and (d) lactose. The granules are water dispersible granules having good disintegrability and dispersibility in water and also having good storage stability. The water dispersible granules can be disintegrated and dispersed in a small amount of water. Accordingly, the water dispersible granules can be mixed with paste fertilizers to produce agrochemical-containing paste fertilizers, which can also be used in paddy fields and are useful water dispersible granules.

A composition based on three strains of microorganisms to promote plant growth and serve as a plant protection product to protect plants from damaging influences including plant disease, pests or insects. The composition is comprised of isolated strains of Paenibacillus polymyxa M.sub.10, Azospirillum canadense B.sub.2, and Bacillus pumilus L.sub.13. A mineral mix is used to maintain the microorganism viable for a long time, maintaining high efficacy as a biopesticide and biofertilizer. The mineral mix combined with the fermented microorganisms is then further combined with a nutritional additive to enhance the biofertilizing and biopesticidal features of the composition. The resulting composition can be applied to plants in liquid form or to the soil in solid form.

The present invention provides novel phosphate-solubilizing fungal strains, compositions comprising novel phosphate-solubilizing fungal strains, and methods of using novel phosphate-solubilizing fungal strains to increase the availability of phosphate for plant uptake in soil. In some embodiments, one or more of the novel phosphate-solubilizing fungal strains is coated onto a seed.

Insecticidal compositions suitable for use in preparation of insecticidal liquid fertilizers are disclosed. The compositions include bifenthrin, a polymeric dispersant, a suspension agent, a freeze-thaw stabilizer, and optionally a preservative.

The disclosed invention provides agricultural compositions for effective disruption of bacterial biofilms, for the treatment and preventing of bacterial diseases and disorders. The present invention also provides methods for the treatment and of prevention in a plant or plant part thereof, comprising applying to the plant or plant part said agricultural composition.

The present invention relates to a novel agricultural oil dispersion composition comprising at least one algae or their derivatives, and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient. Particularly, the invention relates to a novel agricultural oil dispersion composition comprising at least one algae or their derivatives present in the range of 0.1%-65% by weight of the total composition, at least one water immiscible solvent present in the range of 0.1%-90% by weight of the total composition, at least one surfactant present in the range of 0.1%-80% by weight of the total composition and at least one agrochemically acceptable excipient, wherein the composition comprises particles in the size range of 0.1-50 microns. The invention relates to a process of preparing the novel agricultural oil dispersion composition. The invention further relates to a method of application of the novel oil dispersion composition to the crops, plants, locus or parts thereof or to the surrounding soil.
