The present invention relates to agrochemical compositions: their use for foliar application; their use at low spray volumes; their use by unmanned aerial systems (UAS), unmanned guided vehicles (UGV), and tractor mounted boom sprayers fitted with conventional nozzles but also pulse width modulation spray nozzles or rotating disc droplet applicators; and their application for controlling agricultural pests, weeds or diseases, in particular on waxy leaves.

A rat attractant composition is disclosed which includes one or more isolated additives. The composition is attractive to at least rats of the species Rattus norvegicus. Devices including the rat attractant composition and methods of using a rat attractant composition are also disclosed.

The disclosure relates to methods and compositions for altering the production of one or more secondary plant metabolites comprising applying an effective amount of at least one elicitor, wherein the elicitor is a jasmonate or a salicylate, and combinations thereof. The disclosure further teaches compositions comprising effective amounts of the elicitors disclosed here. The disclosure further relates to methods and compositions for controlling plant pathogens, such as fungal pathogens.

The invention concerns medical applications and can be used in oncology, as well as in neurosurgery, traumatology, neurology, rehabilitation. The aim of the inventions claimed is the creation of a new method of local exposure on biological tissues and a new tissue-substitute applicator that benefits to both destruction and replacement of tumor tissue by restored biological tissue with no external exposure applied (alternating magnetic field, heating, etc.) The aim set is solved by using porous polytetrafluoroethylene as a cytostatic material. The aim set is also achieved by using porous polytetrafluoroethylene in production of a tissue-substitute applicator for treating or replacing tumor tissues. The aim set for the method of local exposure to biological tissues, including the placement of a tissue-substitute polymeric applicator in direct contact with the biological tissue to be exposed, is solved by using porous polytetrafluoroethylene for the constituent polymeric material.
