Abstract:
The instant invention refers to nanosystems comprising nanocomposites for adsorption or support of natural extracts; a process for the preparation thereof; formulations containing thereof, as well as a nanomaterial that adsorbs one or more essential oils in its surface. Specially, one object of the invention is the encapsulation of natural extracts, i.e., essential oils and/or natural pure bioactive compounds and optionally terpenoid, sesquiterpenoid, diterpenoid, sesterterpenoid, triterpenoid, carotenoid, and ricinoid compounds; complementary acids, and polysaccharides; vitamins, and other organic compounds, in mesoporous materials for application in different industries such as food, agricultural, veterinary, aquacultural, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfection industries, as well as in medicine.
Abstract:
Multilayer sheet material, comprising: a first layer attached to a second layer, wherein: the first layer is an insulative layer or a protective layer; the second layer is a cushioning layer; and wherein one or both of the first and second layers is: pest repellent; recyclable; or both pest repellent and recyclable.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a natural pesticide formulation containing: A) botanical products having an arthropod repellent effect (preferably mixture of garlic and chili oils) and B) an entomopathogenic fungus strain or a blend of entomopathogenic fungi strains specific for said arthropod control (preferably blend of Beauveria bassiana strains). The formulation is useful in the control of coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei) in coffee plants and of other important insects in corn crop fields and green-house crop fields (flowers and vegetables).
Abstract:
Grease-like compositions are provided for repelling insects and preventing undesirable behavior in hoofed animals. The compositions utilize nontoxic mineral, synthetic, or vegetable oil based gels containing silica, clay, urea, polytetrafluoroethylene, or metallic soap thickeners and capsaicin.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel liquid animal repellant composition which is environmentally safe, non-toxic, long-lasting and efficacious against a wide variety of animals such as dogs, cats, raccoons, skunks, mice, rates, squirrels, chipmunks, deer, etc.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to solutions of CIPC and of one or more terpenes or terpene oils for the antigerminative treatment of bulbs and tubers. This use is particularly appropriate for the treatment of potato tubers. The CIPC solution contains from 50 to 80% by weight of CIPC relative to the total volume of the solution. Examples of the terpenes and terpene oils are eugenol, isoeugenol, clove oil and their salts and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
A process for treating, by means of eugenol or clove oil, reservoirs for storing cereals, oil-producing plants, dry fruit or dry vegetables contaminated with mycotoxins.
Abstract:
The present invention provides, inter alia, methods for increasing the production of biomass and/or seeds, and plants for use in such methods. The production of biomass and/or seeds by a plant can be increased by supplying glutathione to a plant into which a gene encoding a protein phosphatase 2C having characteristic consensus sequences has been introduced.
