The present invention provides a solution and related composition of matter and methods which synergistically improves a fungicide's effectiveness in resisting undesired fungal growth. The invention also provides wood and wood products which have been treated with the solution, method or compound. The solution may contain coformulants which do not alter the performance of the basic technology.

Wood treatment solutions containing fungicides and tertiary alkanolamines and related methods, wood products and composition for protection against fungal organisms

The present invention provides a solution and related composition of matter and methods which synergistically improves a fungicide's effectiveness in resisting undesired fungal growth. The invention also provides wood and wood products which have been treated with the solution, method or compound.

The present invention relates to a solution for resisting destruction of living plants and a related method. A solution including a buffered amine oxide admixed with at least one material selected from the group consisting of insecticides and fungicides is applied to the living plant and provides a synergistically effective greater resistance to living plant deterioration than any of the individual buffered amine oxide, insecticides and fungicides achieve. A related method is disclosed.

Solutions for enhancing the effectiveness of insecticides and fungicides on living plants and related methods

Solutions for killing weeds include a herbicide admixed with a buffered amine oxide. The synergism between the two components reduces the amount of herbicide which must be employed to achieve an effective weed kill. Related methods involve application of the solution to the weeds to be killed.

Solutions employing herbicides and buffered amine oxides to kill weeds and related methods

The present invention relates to a solution for resisting destruction of living plants and a related method. A solution including a buffered amine oxide admixed with at least one material selected from the group consisting of insecticides and fungicides is applied to the living plant and provides a synergistically effective greater resistance to living plant deterioration than any of the individual buffered amine oxide, insecticides and fungicide achieve considered individually. A related method is disclosed.

A method of protecting wood through enhanced penetration of wood preservatives includes providing a solution including (a) at least one amine oxide, (b) at least one organic wood preservative and (c) a non-borate buffering based agent. The solution has a pH of 5 to 12.4 and preferably about 7 to 10. The solution is applied to the surface of the wood after which, with or without intervening storage, the materials are activated to effect enhanced penetration of the organic wood preservative into the wood. One may effect application at a solution temperature of about 30&#xb0; C. to 75&#xb0; C. and preferably about 50&#xb0; C. to 60&#xb0; C. to effect activation at a higher temperature and high relative humidity. In a preferred practice, the wood may be heated before and/or after application of the solution. The solution is also disclosed as a product.
