HERBICIDAL COMBINATION FORMULATIONS AND METHODS

The present embodiments relates to method and an herbicide combination for controlling weed growth in turfgrass while reducing or suppressing phytotoxicity or bleaching, which include contacting the turfgrass with an herbicidally effective amount of (a) the herbicide combination of mesotrione and quinclorac, (b) at least one agronomically acceptable excipient; and (c) optionally, a third herbicide; wherein the quinclorac in the formulation is present in an amount effective to reduce or suppress the phytotoxic or bleaching effect of mesotrione, as compared with mesotrione alone. The present embodiments also provide a method and combination formulation of controlling weed growth in turfgrass while reducing bleaching using a three-component formulation as described herein.

Antiviral compositions and methods for inactivating non-enveloped viruses using alkyl 2-hydroxycarboxylic acids

The present invention is directed to antiviral compositions that provide efficacy against non-envelope viruses such as noroviruses. The antiviral compositions comprise an alkyl 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid and an effective amount of a sulfonated surfactant. The composition may be used as a topical on human skin, as a hand sanitizer or as a hard surface cleaning composition.

CONTROLLED-RELEASE MATERIAL FOR ANTIFOULING AGENT SENSITIVE AND RESPONSE TO FOULING ORGANISMS AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF

A controlled-release material sensitive and response to fouling organisms for an antifouling agent includes an encapsulating precursor and a crosslinking agent. A hyaluronic acid/polyL-lysine nano-shell controlled-release material is prepared by an alternating layer-by-layer self-assembly of hyaluronic acid and poly-L-lysine, and a polypropylene ammonium chloride/poly-L-glycine nano-shell controlled-release material is prepared by an alternating layer-by-layer sell-assembly of polypropylene ammonium chloride and poly-L-glycine. The crosslinking agent is composed of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride and N-hydroxythiosuccinimide. Based on the specific catalytic hydrolysis characteristic of fouling organism extracellular proteases on the controlled-release material, the purpose of adjusting the release of antifouling agents adaptively with the change of fouling organisms in off-season/peak-season can be achieved, prolonging the service life of the antifouling coatings.

METHOD AND COMPOSITION OF HUMIDITY-CONTROLLED GENERATION OF CHLORINE DIOXIDE IN POLYMERS AND SUPERABSORBENT HYDROGELS

A composition and method for chlorine dioxide production through reaction-diffusion chemistry that facilitates the in situ generation of chlorine dioxide, wherein a dry solid composition of hydroxymethanesulfinic acid monosodium salt dihydrate (abbreviated HMS) and a chlorine dioxide precursor are activated via the addition or absorption of water to produce chlorine dioxide. The dry solid chemical composition comprises dry, safe, transportable reagents that integrate with polymeric materials such as packaging and superabsorbent and stimuli-responsive hydrogel polymers to combine with water to produce chlorine dioxide.
