The present invention provides compositions and methods for reducing bacterial contamination or infection in plants, animals, fabrics, and products therefrom. The present invention also provides compositions and methods for reducing human infections and the emergence of antibiotic resistance. In particular, the invention provides magnetic nanoparticles comprising bactericidal or bacteriostatic enzymes in one component, substrates for the enzymes in a second component, and a bactericidal chemical agent that works in combination or synergistically with the enzymes. The compositions are dormant and become active upon exposure to hydration, oxygen, or mixing.

The present invention sets forth small novel abscisic acid (ABA) receptor agonist scaffolds and compounds with potent in vivo activity. In some aspects, the present invention provides agricultural formulations and methods comprising the ABA receptor agonists described herein, such as methods of managing crop water use and improving stress tolerance (e.g., drought tolerance). In some preferred embodiments, the inventive compounds have improved properties relative to the current “best in-class” molecules quinabactin and its derivatives.

This disclosure relates to biting arthropod control or repellent formulations for the control or repellency of biting arthropods. The formulations comprise at least one sensate compound, wherein the at least one sensate compound is present in an effective amount sufficient to control or repel biting arthropods. This disclosure also relates to a method for the control or repellency of biting arthropods. The method comprises bringing the biting arthropods into contact with a biting arthropod control or repellent formulation. The biting arthropod control or repellent formulation comprises at least one sensate compound, wherein the at least one sensate compound is present in an effective amount sufficient to control or repel biting arthropods.

The present invention relates to novel triazole derivatives of formula (I) having insecticidal activity, to processes and intermediates for preparing them, to insecticidal, acaricidal, nematicidal or molluscicidal compositions comprising them and to methods of using them to combat and control insect, acarine, nematode or mollusc pests
