5681859 INSECTICIDE AND INSECT REPELLANT COMPOSITIONS James Lynn Sue; Siedman Michael A Newtown, CT, UNITED STATES assigned to James Lynn Su A non-toxic, environmentally safe and easily employable insecticide and insect repellant is achieved by providing an aqueous composition incorporating ethanolamine based compounds, either independently or in combination with the ethanolamine based compounds being selected from both simple compounds and conjugated compounds. In one preferred embodiment, a highly effective composition is attained for safe, effective, direct topical application to humans and animals by employing between about 10% and 70% by volume of the entire composition of the ethanolamine-based compound. In alternate preferred embodiments, the insecticide is formulated for application to plants, trees, crops, and other vegetation to provide a composition which effectively controls bothersome insects, while being completely safe and non-injurious to the plant, tree, or crop, as well as to the flowers or fruit thereof. In addition, the compositions of this invention are completely biodegradable, and are safe to the environment and water supplies.
5683689 CONTROLLING COCKROACHES, CARPENTER ANTS, AND PHARAOH ANTS USING STRAINS OF BEAUVERIA BASSIANA Stimac Jerry L; Pereira Roberto Gainesville, FL, UNITED STATES assigned to University of Florida Research Foundation Inc The subject invention concerns novel biopesticides and their use to control cockroaches, carpenter ants, and pharaoh ants. Specifically, highly virulent isolates of Beauveria bassiana in an agricultural composition, can be used to effectively control these pests. Exemplified are Beauveria bassiana No. 447, ATCC 20872, and Beauveria bassiana SPl 1 l,ATCC 74038. Also described are unique formulations which are highly effective for delivering biocontrol agents to target pests. By using these novel compositions, target pests can be controlled without the environmental and public safety hazards presented by chemical control agents.
5683691 5682709 METHOD FOR RECYCLING CARBON DIOXIDE FOR ENHANCING PLANT GROWTH Erickson Stewart Marietta, PA, UNITED STATES assigned to The Agricultural Gas Company A method of recycling carbon dioxide for enhancing plant growth. The method comprising the steps of collecting carbon carbon depositing the dioxide-containing gas. dioxide-containing gas into an underground void which is substantially free of methane, storing the carbon dioxide-containing gas in the underground void until it cools to a less than ambient daytime temperature, and distributing the stored carbon dioxide-containing gas to plants within a contiguous tract of plants under field conditions.
BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS INSECTICIDAL TOXINS Leuven, Peferoen Mamix; Lambert Bart; Joos Henk BELGIUM assigned to Plant Genetic Systems N V Two new Bacillus thuringiensis strains, which are deposited at the DSM under accession nos. 5 13 1 and 5 132, produce crystal proteins during sporulation that are toxic to Coleoptera. The crystal proteins contain 74 kDa and 129 kDa protoxins, respectively, which can yield 68 and 66 kDa toxins, respectively, as trypsin-digestion products. A plant, the genome of which is transformed with a DNA sequence that comes from either one of the strains and that codes for its respective toxin, is resistant to Coleoptera. Each strain, itself, or its crystals, crystal proteins, protoxin or toxin can be used as the active ingredient in an insecticidal composition for combatting Coleoptera.
