Disclosed embodiments of the present invention concern an herbicidal combination, such as a premix concentrate or a tank mix, comprising 1% to 10% of a triketone herbicide, such as a benzoylcyclohexane-1,3-dione, and 30% to 50% of a diphenylether herbicide, such as a 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoic acid. Certain embodiments comprise, consist of, or consist essentially of, mesotrione and oxyfluorfen. Particular compositions comprise an aqueous composition comprising oxyfluorfen, mesotrione, a surfactant, a freeze/thaw agent, a defoaming agent, a rheology agent, and an antimicrobial agent. A method for using disclosed combinations comprises applying a combination to a locus where undesired vegetation is present or may be present. Yet another embodiment comprises a method for forming a disclosed combination, such as a premix concentrate or a tank mix, comprising, consisting of, or consisting essentially of, (1) a triketone herbicide, such as mesotrione, and (2) a diphenylether herbicide, such as oxyfluorfen.

The present invention is related to the field of liquid disinfectant formulas, specifically with obtaining disinfectant compositions applicable to hard and smooth surfaces, porous surfaces and for human use; particularly with disinfectant compositions that allow the surface or surfaces where it is applied, a disinfection with a prolonged effect, for periods greater than 24 hours. More particularly with the use of long-lasting disinfectant compounds, some of them approved by international agencies such as the EPA, and which are also approved by the FDA for cosmetic use due to their low or null toxicity. More particularly, the present invention relates to the formulation of said compositions.

The present disclosure is directed to insect-resistant fabrics or garments and methods for making the same. The insect-resistant fabrics or garments include an insect repelling composition containing a micellar system and optionally an insecticide composition. As an example, an insect-resistant fabric in accordance with the disclosure can include a base fabric (e.g., polyester) having been treated to include an insect repellant composition containing a micellar system. The micellar system may include one or more insect repelling agents (e.g., essential oils) contained within one or more micelles (e.g., saponins) in a first region of the fabric, and optionally an insecticide (e.g., permethrin) in second region of the base fabric. The inclusion of a micellar system in an insect repellant composition is shown herein to provide improved insect-resistant efficacy. Additionally, certain insect-resistant fabrics disclosed herein can also demonstrate durability when exposed to wear such as laundering the garment.
