| 20090029856 | Hinokitiol As A Plant Pesticide - The present invention discloses that a natural tropolone compound, hinokitiol, also known as β-Thujaplicin as an effective biopesticide for use in controlling plant pests. In particular, hinokitiol and/or salts thereof may be used in modulating non-Erwinia plant microbial infection or in the formulation of a non-Erwinia antimicrobial agent. Alternatively, hinokitiol may be used as a natural herbicide to control the germination and growth of weeds. The formulation used in the present invention may contain a chelator, pH adjustor and UV protection agent in an amount effective to stabilize said hinokitiol. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090099022 | NATURAL HERBICIDE CONTAINING LEMONGRASS ESSENTIAL OIL - The present invention discloses that a plant essential oil, lemongrass oil, is an effective pre and post emergence herbicide on both broadleaved and grass weeds. The lemongrass oil may be combined with corn oil and/or other oil and/or an organic acid, surfactants and other formulation ingredients to control the germination and growth of weeds. As a natural, non-toxic compound, it can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in organic farming systems. | 04-16-2009 |
| 20090111697 | PROPIONIC ACID AS AN HERBICIDE - The present invention discloses that, propionic acid or salt thereof, is an effective pre-emergent and post-emergent herbicide. Propionic acid biodegrades first to acetic and formic acids and then to carbon dioxide and water thus posing not threat the environment. Propionic acid is less caustic and corrosive than formic acid, and with proper formulation and the use of respiratory protection, it poses no threat to the applicator. Propionic acid is demonstrated in this invention to control both monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous plants. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20100167930 | USES OF THAXTOMIN AND THAXTOMIN COMPOSITIONS AS HERBICIDES - There is a need for a selective, low-risk herbicide that can be used to control weeds in cereal cultures and turf. The present invention discloses that a bacterial secondary metabolite, thaxtomin and optionally another herbicide is an effective herbicide on broadleaved, sedge and grass weeds. Thaxtomin A and structurally similar compounds can be used as natural herbicides to control the germination and growth of weeds in cereal, turf grass, Timothy grass and pasture grass cultures with no phytotoxicity to these crops. As a natural, non-toxic compound, thaxtomin can be used as a safe alternative for weed control in both conventional and organic farming and gardening systems. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100266717 | CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL AGENTS FOR THE CONTROL OF MOLLUSCS - Compositions and methods for controlling molluscs, members of the Gastropoda and Bivalvia classes which includes but is not limited to lactones, lactams, carbamates, amides, and/or carboxylic acid containing compounds as active ingredients and/or compounds derived from | 10-21-2010 |
| 20110028500 | PLANT PATHOGEN INHIBITOR COMBINATIONS AND METHODS OF USE - Combinations, compositions and methods of use for modulating plant pathogen infection using plant extracts containing anthraquinone derivatives which induce resistance to plant phytopathogens and an antimicrobial agent, a biological control agent and/or a surfactant having fungicidal activity | 02-03-2011 |
