Compounds and compositions for nematode treatment

Monoterpenoid/phenylpropanoid-containing compounds and methods of their making and use as seed treatments

The present invention relates to monoterpenoid and phenylpropanoid containing derivative compounds, methods of making the compounds, compositions comprising the compounds, and methods of repelling pests using the compounds and/or compositions.

Insect repellent compounds and compositions, and methods thereof

The compositions comprise an effective repellent amount of one or more monoterpenoids, one or more sesquiterpenoids or a blend of one or more monoterpenoids and one or more sesquiterpenoids in combination with a carrier, wherein the compositions are formulated to repel a target pest from a target area. In one embodiment, the one or more monoterpenoids, and/or one or more sesquiterpenoids are from a biorational source, such as a plant volatile. In one embodiment, the one or more sesquiterpenoids are oxygen-containing sesquiterpenoids. In a particular embodiment, the plant volatile is a monoterpenoid, such as 'nepetalactone' (or the individual nepetalactone isomers) derived from catnip (). In another embodiment, the plant volatile is additionally or alternatively a sesquiterpenoid derived from the fruit of the Osage orange tree (), Siam wood or theplant. Such compositions have repellency, including long term repellency, against arthropods.

Biorational repellents obtained from terpenoids for use against arthropods

This invention provides compositions and methods useful for repelling target pests. The compositions comprise an amount of a monoterpenoid or sesquiterpenoid effective to repel a target pest from a target area, the monoterpenoid or sesquiterpenoid in combination with a carrier. In one embodiment, the monoterpenoid or sesquiterpenoid is from a biorational source, such as a plant volatile. In a particular embodiment, the plant volatile is a monoterpenoid, such as 'nepetalactone' (or the individual nepetalactone isomers) derived from catnip (). In another embodiment, the plant volatile is any one or a combination of sesquiterpenoids derived from the fruit of the Osage orange tree (). Such compositions have repellency against arthropods, such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, mites, ticks, spiders, and so forth.

A method for suppressing target pests, comprising exposing the pests to an effective biopesticidal amount of a composition, the composition comprising a carrier and a purified glucosinolate breakdown product having a hydroxyl group attached, wherein a starting material for the purified glucosinolate breakdown product is isolated from a crambe plant or mustard plant, further wherein the target pests are plants, fungi, bacteria or root knot nematodes is disclosed. Methods for suppressing target pests without limitation as to the starting materials are also disclosed wherein the pests are exposed to an effective biopesticidal amount of a composition comprising a carrier and either an analog or a derivative of a purified glucosinolate breakdown product having a hydroxyl group attached.

Compounds related to natural sources and their use as biopesticides

This invention provides compositions and methods useful for repelling target pests. The compositions comprise an amount of a monoterpenoid or sesquiterpenoid effective to repel a target pest from a target area, the monoterpenoid or sesquiterpenoid in combination with a carrier. In one embodiment, the monoterpenoid or sesquiterpenoid is from a biorational source, such as a plant volatile. In a particular embodiment, the plant volatile is a monoterpenoid, such as &ldquo;nepetalactone&rdquo; (or the individual nepetalactone isomers) derived from catnip ( ). In another embodiment, the plant volatile is any one or a combination of sesquiterpenoids derived from the fruit of the Osage orange tree ( ). Such compositions have repellency against arthropods, such as cockroaches, mosquitoes, mites, ticks, spiders, and so forth.

The present invention provides novel biopesticides which can replace commercial pesticides and biopesticides which have been banned, restricted, or are being phased out, including, but not limited to chloropicrin, dichlorvos and methyl bromide. Many of the biopesticides of the present invention are excellent fumigants, possessing quick action and volatility, while posing less risk than currently used pesticides to humans and the environment. The biopesticides of the present invention are natural and closely-related synthetic derivatives or analogs related to two classes of natural compounds, namely glucosinolates and monoterpenoids.

Biopesticides related to natural sources

A method and device are disclosed which prevent the intrusion of insects onto wood structures by using a controlled release device capable of releasing insecticide. In the disclosed method, the device maintains a minimal effective level of insecticide for a predetermined period of time.

Termite and boring insect barrier for the protection of wooden structures

Compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein X is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkoxy group, Y is selected from the group consisting of halogens, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, and C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkoxy, and R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are selected from the group of chloro, nitro and hydrogen, with at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 being chloro, and at least one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 being nitro, are useful in combatting insects.
