Compositions and methods for affecting dipteran hematophagous parasites. The compositions contain at least one dipteran semiochemical and at least one phagostimulant. The compositions may further include a pesticide. The semiochemical may be a floral attractant and the phagostimulants may be sugar-based. The compositions may be useful in attracting mosquitoes and/or repelling sand flies.

Hydrogels are blended with water to produce a hydrogel solution. Viscosity of the hydrogel solution is controlled by adjusting the ratio of hydrogel to water and/or by adjusting the blending conditions. The hydrogel solutions may be used to modify the rheology of agricultural compositions. The hydrogel may include lactose, which may be provided by a milk permeate waste stream from the dairy or food processing industry.

An antimicrobial composition with a synergistic combination of ingredients is described. Cosmetic compositions containing the antimicrobial composition with improved preservation properties are also described. The cosmetic compositions are effective in treating the skin to cleanse, moisturize and to reduce the effects of aging and photo damage and treat other skin conditions after being topically applied.

A method of phytosanitary treatment, which includes the step of administering a nematicidal composition, is disclosed. The nematicidal composition includes cinnamic aldehyde and terpene alcohol as active ingredients as a nematicide in a phytosanitary treatment, particularly in crops of banana, plantain, table and wine grapes, fruit trees, citrus plants, strawberries, and soy. Main advantages of the invention include high efficacy against nematodes, great stability over time, and the very low toxicity of the composition, both for plants and humans.
