To provide a pesticidal solid composition which is excellent in the controlling effects with reduced labor in application operation with a smaller dose. A pesticidal solid composition, which comprises a solution having cyclaniliprole or its salt and an anionic surfactant dissolved in a polar solvent (component (1)), an oil-absorbing powder (component (2)) and a granular carrier (component (3)) (the anionic surfactant is described in the specification); and the component (1) is absorbed into or attached to at least one of the components (2) and (3).

Particles are sorted into paths based on a measurable parameter by forming them into a stream in at least one duct carried on a body rotating around an axis where the duct is shaped so that the particles are accelerated to cause the particles separated into the duct to be aligned one after another in a row in the duct. The parameter of the particles are measured in the aligned stream one after the other and the particles are directed into one of a plurality of paths as determined by the measurement. In one arrangement the body comprises a disk member having a front face facing a supply conduit and the duct lies in a radial plane of the disk member. In one arrangement the measurement of the parameter is carried out by one or more measurement devices either carried on the disk or outside the edge of the disk.

Devices (10) and methods for pasteurizing and/or sterilizing particulate material. The devices contain at least one electron source (20) for generating an electron beam and a treatment zone (19) in which the material is pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam. The device (10) comprises a vibration surface (11) which vibrates to convey and individualize the material. The first vibration surface (11) has a plurality of grooves (12) into which the material is conveyed and individualized. The device (10) has a good channel (21) in which the material is pasteurized and/or sterilized by the electron beam in the region of the treatment zone (19). The device (10) has at least one auxiliary channel (22) through which a fluid flows between the electron source (20) and the good channel (21) and is separated from the good channel (21). A cartridge (24), for pasteurizing and/or sterilizing particulate material, is also disclosed.

The disclosure relates to bacillus having an effect of inducing corn to resist Northern leaf blight and applications of the bacillus. The bacillus having an effect of inducing corn to resist Northern corn leaf blight is Bacillus megaterium which was deposited on Apr. 16, 2019 with a deposit number of CGMCC No. 17573. The Bacillus megaterium of the disclosure can induce corn to generate resistance to Northern corn leaf blight during seed germination and corn growth to activate the immune response of corns and stimulate immune control of Northern leaf blight of corn. The method described herein is long in coming does not pollute environment and soil, is a green, simplified and new control method of Northern leaf blight of corn, and has wide application and popularization prospect.
