An insecticidal composition includes one or more essential oils and/or vegetable oils in an amount of about 0.05 wt. % to about 5 wt. %, water in an amount of about 55 wt. % to about 95 wt. %, and mineral oil in an amount of less than about 15 wt. % wherein the composition is suitable for further dilution with water to form a sprayable preparation.

An insecticidal composition includes one or more essential oils and/or vegetable oils having insecticidal properties, mineral oil in an amount of about 55 wt. % to about 95 wt. %, and isopropyl alcohol in an amount of about 10 wt. % or higher, wherein the insecticidal composition is substantially free of a lactate solvent, and wherein the insecticidal composition shows no phase separation at about 4° C. after about 72 hours of storage.

Antimicrobial compositions comprising gum rosin, pine oil, and salt water mitigate or eliminate detrimental plant microorganisms, and mitigate or reverse plant diseases such as Gram-negative bacterial diseases. The compositions are effective against Gram-negative bacterial diseases (including citrus greening disease or HLB caused by Candidatus Liberibacter, and diseases caused by Xylella fastidiosa), fungal diseases such as those caused by Candida auris, and viral diseases such as those caused by Citrus tristeza virus. The antimicrobial compositions may be used as a root treatment, foliar treatment, or both. The compositions can be diluted into a concentrated mixture and sprayed on the leaves of a diseased plant, or a plant that is prone to disease. The compositions can be used as a root drench or in an irrigation system to treat a diseased plant. The compositions may optionally include surfactants (especially in foliar applications) and growth stimulants (especially in root drench or irrigation applications).

Provided is a method for hydraulic fracturing in a borehole in a geological formation using a process fluid including an environmentally friendly biostabiliser. The biostabiliser is characterised in that it includes at least one organic acid, or a salt, alcohol or aldehyde thereof, such that the at least one organic acid is selected from the hop acids, resin acids, fatty acids and mixtures thereof.

A pest control composition, the composition including an active component having between about 0.001 wt. % to about 5 wt. % spearmint oil, between about 0.01 wt. % to about 5 wt. % geranium oil, and between about 0 wt. % to about 5 wt. % of a third oil selected from the group consisting of cinnamon oil, cedarwood oil, and mixtures thereof. The composition further includes a carrier, a solvent, and a dehydrate.
