摘要:
Syrup produced in a lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process is used as a binder for soil conditioning materials to make an agricultural composition that is easily handled and applied. The syrup binds powdery soil conditioning materials such as lime and gypsum to form pellets or granules.

Disclosed is an insecticidal composition comprising by weight based on the total weight of the composition: (a) from about 0.25 to about 25% of one or more anthranilic diamide insecticides; (b) from about 2.5 to about 25% of a poly(lactic acid) polymer component having a water dispersability of at least about 5% by weight at 20° C. and an average molecular weight ranging from about 700 to about 4,000 daltons; wherein the ratio of component (b) to component (a) is about 1:1 to about 1:10 by weight; and (c) from about 20 to about 50% of a composition comprising either (i) a poly(lactide-co-glycolide) copolymer and a methyl poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer, or (ii) an acrylate/methacrylate-based polymer or copolymer and a methyl poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer; wherein the methyl poly(ethylene glycol) copolymer has a water solubility of at least about 5% by weight at 20° C., a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value of at least about 7, and an average molecular weight ranging from 12,000 to 65,000, and further wherein the ratio of the poly(lactide-co-glycolide) or the acrylate/methacrylate-based polymer or copolymer, to the methyl poly(ethylene glycol) is about 1:1 to about 4:1 by weight and the ratio of component (c) to component (b) is about 2:1 to about 9:1 by weight. Also disclosed is a geotropic propagule coated with the insecticidal composition. Further disclosed is a liquid composition comprising the insecticidal composition, and a method for protecting a geotropic propagule and plant derived therefrom from a phytophagous insect pest.

Disclosed is an insecticidal composition comprising by weight based on the total weight of the composition: (a) from about 9 wt % (weight percent) to about 82 wt % of one or more anthranilic diamide insecticides; (b) from about 9 wt % to about 82 wt % of a triblock copolymer component having a water solubility of at least about 5% by weight at 20° C.; wherein the ratio of component (b) to component (a) is about 1:10 to about 10:1 by weight; and (c) from about 9 wt % to about 82 wt % of a polymer crosslinking agent having water solubility of least about 5% by weight at 20° C.; wherein the ratio of component (b) to component (c) is about 1:10 to about 10:1 by weight, and wherein the weight percents are based on the total weights of (a)+(b)+(c). Also disclosed is a geotropic propagule coated with the insecticidal composition. Further disclosed, is a liquid composition comprising, the insecticidal composition, and a method for protecting a geotropic propagule and plant derived therefrom from a phytophagous insect pest.
摘要:
A fuel made from co-products derived from a lignocellulosic biomass fermentation process is used to fuel a cement production process. Filter cake and syrup co-products are mixed and dried, then burned in a cement kiln to create the temperatures needed for cement production.
