| 20120077674 | METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING JASMONATES OR RELATED COMPOUNDS FOR PROMOTING BIODEFENSE ACTIVITY IN PLANTS - This document relates to the use of jasmonate or related compounds in combination with crop input products (e.g., herbicides, pesticides, bioactives or biologicals, seed treatment components, semiochemicals, and the like) to induce biodefense activity in plants. Also provided are compositions comprising a jasmonate or related compound with one or more crop input product. | 03-29-2012 |
| 20110272408 | METHOD AND DEVICES FOR IMPROVED OXYGEN PERMEABILITY IN MICROORGANISM STORAGE CONTAINERS - The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to improved containers for transporting microorganisms and other living material. Certain embodiments include air-permeable bladders having an air-permeable inner wall and a stronger outer wall having perforations. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110268704 | ENHANCED SHELF LIFE AND ON SEED STABILIZATION OF LIQUID BACTERIUM INOCULANTS - The present invention includes a method for producing a liquid inoculant containing a desiccant. The method can improve survival and stability of bacteria in liquid inoculants in pack and on seeds. The method includes providing a liquid inoculant of a bacteria grown to a substantially stationary phase. A desiccant treatment containing a desiccant is added to the liquid inoculant to form a partially desiccated inoculant product. The partially desiccated inoculant product can be packaged and stored. The partially desiccated inoculant product can also be applied to seeds. | 11-03-2011 |
| 20110086228 | Green-Colored Environmentally Inert Coated Materials, Barrier Compositions and Related Methods - Substantially environmentally inert materials that include substrates coated with a green-colored barrier layer containing at least a film forming polymer; organic pigment green 7; and yellow iron oxide pigment are disclosed. In the layer, the organic pigment green 7 and the yellow iron oxide pigment are present in the layer in a weight ratio of about 1:about 3 to about 1:about 5. Suitable substrates include crumb rubber, sand, chipped rubber and other particulate substrates. Related compositions, methods and recreation fields upon which such materials have been disposed are also described. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20100229461 | COATING FOR AND METHOD OF TESTING LANDSCAPING MATERIAL - A coating is provided for a landscaping material, comprising a hybrid network of high functionality structured oligomeric siloxane and a polyalkylene glycol coupled with a co-product of monopropylene glycol and propylene oxide. The coating may be coupled with a pigmented colorant and be further mixed with a water-based carrier. The coating is contemplated to increase the efficiency of the mulch as compared to plain mulch material and other coating materials. A testing apparatus, including a retention basin and water measuring basin, are also defined as a means to determine the efficiency of the mulch material and its corresponding coating. | 09-16-2010 |
