The present disclosure includes a combination composition comprising UBP and fermentation collected from Burkholderia sp. where the combination provides significantly improved insecticidal and/or plant growth promoting properties when applied to plants and/or seeds.

The present invention comprises a novel combination and composition for controlling weeds in wheat. The combination comprises a post-emergence phenoxy herbicide such as Quizalofop-p-ethyl (QPE). The novel composition further includes a broadleaf herbicide. When applied to wheat comprising QPE tolerance, surprisingly, the novel composition appears to provide synergy that results in increased wheat yield over and above the yield expected from wheat intolerant of QPE, untreated wheat, or wheat treated with either QPE or a broadleaf herbicide. Despite the fact that QPE is typically used to kill members of the grass family, the present invention successfully employs the novel combination to increase wheat yield.

This invention relates to polymer-based partially-open, hollow reservoirs in the nano-size to micro-size range that encapsulate an additive, which can be released from the reservoirs using specific event stimuli such as reduction-oxidation and voltage change, or at will, using the same stimuli. This invention also relates to method preparing such reservoirs, and for releasing the additive. This invention further relates to matrix that comprises such reservoirs and the method of preparing such matrix. This invention also relates to applications, for example in corrosion inhibition, lubrication, and adhesion, that benefit from using such a controlled release of an additive.
