摘要:
Disclosed are methods of enhancing plant growth, comprising treating plant seed or the plant that germinates from the seed with an effective amount of at least one chitooligosaccharide, wherein upon harvesting the plant exhibits at least one of increased plant yield measured in terms of bushels/acre, increased root number, increased root length, increased root mass, increased root volume and increased leaf area, compared to untreated plants or plants harvested from untreated seed.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to the combination of biopesticide and at least one exogenous cuticle degrading enzymes (e.g., a protease, chitinase, lipase and/or cutinase) for controlling (preventing or eliminating) pests. The use of an exogenous cuticle degrading enzyme increases the efficacy of the biopesticide by increasing the speed and/or efficiency of infestation of the pest resulting in faster or more effective killing or disabling of the pest by the biopesticide. The present invention accordingly provides methods for controlling a pest comprising treating a pest habitat with a combination of pesticidally effective amounts of at least one biopesticide and at least one exogenous cuticle degrading enzyme. Pest control compositions are also described.

摘要:
Methods of treating and/or controlling algae including contacting algae with an effective amount of one or more thaxtomins are disclosed. One or more thaxtomins are applied to algae contaminated environments in a predetermined amount effective in controlling, reducing and/or killing algae.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for preventing and/or reducing biofilm formation and/or planktonic proliferation with one or more selected bacteria strains or bacterial blends.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compositions containing concentrated biologically-active ingredients for treating wastewater in systems such as septic tanks, cesspools, and sewage systems.
摘要:
The present invention relates to aqueous surfactant systems that in diluted or undiluted form may be used for cleaning surfaces or may be used as an active cleaning base in various ready-to-use (or in-use) aqueous cleaning compositions suitable for surface cleaning. The invention also relates to a cleaning system comprising a surfactant system of the invention. According to the invention the cleaning efficacy of the surfactant system or cleaning system is increased by reducing or minimizing the size of the surfactants typically used in surfactant systems and reducing or minimizing the water solubility of the surfactant system.
