Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of retarding rootlet formation from one or more plants in a medium that can support the growth thereof, which method includes introducing into the medium a growth inhibiting effective amount of a growth inhibitor which comprises corn steep liquor. In othr embodiments, the growth inhibitor is a mixture of a growth medium and lactic acid. In preferred embodiments, the present invention further provides a malting composition that includes a fermentable grain and a growth inhibitor, wherein the growth inhibitor is present in an amount effective to retard rootlet formation.

Abstract:
Methods and compositions for the control of nematodes are disclosed. Specifically, substituted hydroxyproline anthelmintic compounds of formula (47) have been found to advantageously control nematodes at concentrations which are non-phytotoxic. The anthelmintic compounds can be used in conjunction with other nematicidal agents such as free fatty acids, fatty acid salts, avermectins, ivermectin, and milbemycin. R1 is C1-5 branched or straight alkyl (optionally substituted with phenyl); C3-8 cyclic alkyl; aryl (optionally substituted with C1-10 branched or straight alkyl, or OC1-5); R2 is C1-5 branched or straight alkyl which is optionally substituted with aryl (optionally substituted OC1-5 or OAr); NCH2R5 wherein R5 is Ar (optionally substituted with OCF3); OC1-5,CH2OR6 wherein R6 is C1-5 alkyl or C3-8 cyclic alkyl (optionally substituted with C1-5 straight or branched alkyl, or OC1-5); aryl (optionally substituted with C1-5 straight or branched alkyl; OC1-5; halogen; naphthyl (optionally substituted with OC1-5 or an amine); or a 3 ring fused polycyclic group; R3 is H; C1-5 branched or straight alkyl whhich is optionally substituted with aryl (optionally substituted with halogen, OC1-5, C1-5 branched or straight alkyl); OC1-5; C2-8 ether; cyclic alkyl (optionally substituted with C1-10 branched, straight, or cyclic alkyl); aryl (optionally substituted with halogen, C1-5 straight or branched alkyl; OCF3); R4 is H, C1-5 branched or straight alkyl which is optionally substituted with aryl (optionally substituted with halogen, OC1-5, C1-5 branched or straight alkyl; OC1-5; C2-8 ether; cyclic alkyl (optionally substituted with C1-10 branched, straight, or cyclic alkyl); aryl (optionally substituted with halogen, C1-5 straight or branched alkyl; OCF3); and X is CO or SO2.
Abstract:
A soothing anti-viral lotion composition and a lotioned tissue product having a surface with the lotion composition applied thereto, and methods for making and using the same. The lotion composition includes an anti-viral organic acid and a topical delivery system. The topical delivery system includes one or more polyesters which allow incorporation of the organic acids into the lotion formulation, controls their delivery, and maintains them in the stratum corneum. The lotion composition may optionally contain a surfactant, an irritation inhibiting agents and other additives.
