Provided is a sustained-release pheromone preparation that can be easily installed and stably retained in an installation location, and is comprised of at least one pheromone substance-containing polymer tube with both ends sealed or pheromone substance-containing polymer rod, wherein

Sustained-release pheromone preparation

Insect pest control delivery device

Provided are a method and an apparatus for extruding into a tube and filling the tube at a high speed and simultaneously sealing the tube. Specifically provided is a method for producing a polymer tube, containing a liquid therein and being sealed at constant intervals, the method including an extrusion step of continuously melt-extruding a polymer material through a die into at least one tube, while feeding a liquid into the tube to obtain at least one liquid-containing tube; and sealing step of discontinuously pressing the at least one liquid-containing tube between a pair of pressurizing members at constant intervals to cause pressure-bonding before the tube solidifies, while continuously taking up the extruded tube.

Method for producing polymer tube containing liquid and being sealed at constant intervals and apparatus for producing polymer tube

Provided is an annular sustained release preparation to be used by opening a center portion thereof, the preparation having a strength enough to avoid cleaving at a welded end portion. More specifically, provided is an annular sustained release preparation having at least two polymer tubes having both ends sealed and integrated by pressure-welding or at least one polymer tube and at least one polymer rod having both ends sealed and integrated by pressure-welding; and a sex pheromone liquid contained by at least one of the tubes or the tube; wherein an annular space can be formed by pulling the tubes or the tube and the rod apart from each other at a center portion therebetween, the central portion not having been pressure-welded; and an angle formed between a line connecting respective centers of diameters of the tubes welded to each other or the tube and the rod welded to each other and the pressure application direction is from 0 to 45&#xb0;.

Annular sustained release preparation and production method thereof

Provided are an insect pest-targeting gel composition causing neither leakage nor reaction of a volatile substance and capable of releasing the volatile substance at a constant rate; and a sustained release preparation including the insect pest-targeting gel composition. More specifically, provided is an insect pest-targeting gel composition including one or more volatile substances and an oil gelling agent, wherein the volatile substance is included in an amount of from 70.0 to 99.0% by weight by the insect pest-targeting gel composition.

Insect pest-targeting gel composition and sustained release preparation comprising that

Provided is an annular sustained release preparation having at least two polymer tubes having both ends sealed and integrated by pressure-welding or at least one polymer tube and at least one polymer rod having both ends sealed and integrated by pressure-welding; and a sex pheromone liquid contained by at least one of the tubes or the tube; wherein an annular space can be formed by pulling the tubes or the tube and the rod apart from each other at a center portion therebetween, the central portion not having been pressure-welded; and an angle formed between a line connecting respective centers of diameters of the tubes welded to each other or the tube and the rod welded to each other and the pressure application direction is from 0 to 45&#xb0;.

A sustained release pheromone formulation is provided in which once it is secured to a branch or other support, the likelihood of falling off is significantly reduced, and which is capable of being quickly attached to a small or large branch. The sustained release pheromone formulation includes a first and second sheet parts which are provided by bending a single polymer sheet so that they are arranged in a face-to-face manner, the sheet parts each having an engaging hole therethrough; a bend part located between the sheet parts; at least one sex pheromone substance carried on at least a part of the sheet parts; and slits each extending from the bend part to the engaging hole in each one of the sheet parts. This formulation can be secured to the rod-shaped support by guiding the rod-shaped support to the engaging holes via the slits and engaging with the holes.

Sustained release pheromone formulation

Provided is a sustained release preparation comprising an insect pest-targeting gel composition, the preparation being free from leakage or reaction of a volatile substance and being capable of releasing the volatile substance at a constant rate. More specifically, provided is a sustained release preparation including a polymer tube and an insect pest-targeting gel composition in the polymer tube, the composition including one or more volatile substances and an oil gelling agent, wherein the volatile substances are included in an amount of from 70.0 to 99.0% by weight by the insect pest-targeting composition and are released outside of the polymer tube through the polymer tube.

Sustained release preparation comprising insect pest-targeting gel composition

Targeting an insect pest having a carboxylic acid compound as a pheromone substance, provided is a sustained release pheromone preparation enabling a high amount of pheromone to be released during the control period. More specifically, provided is a sustained release pheromone preparation, comprising: a carboxylic acid compound to be released, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer membrane through which the carboxylic acid compound can permeate, wherein the preparation is targeted for an insect pest having the carboxylic acid compound as a pheromone substance.

Sustained release pheromone preparation targeting insect pest having carboxylic acid as pheromone substance

Provided is a sustained release preparation capable of uniformly releasing therefrom a volatile chemical for a long period of time even if the amount of a liquid chemical remaining in a tubular container of the sustained release preparation becomes small. Also provided is a container for sustained release preparation, the container being tubular and comprising two layers of outer and inner layers, the inner layer having a thickness of 0.12 to 1.2 mm and having a foamed structure permitting the soaking-up of a liquid chemical to a height of at least 25 mm by capillarity. Also provided is a container unit for sustained release preparation, the unit comprising two or more of the container combined.

Sustained release preparation comprising a foamed capillary tube

Controlled-release chemical delivery device

Provided is a sustained releaser of a sex pheromone having a high release rate, especially preferably of a sex pheromone of an aliphatic acetate compound having 10 to 16 carbon atoms, wherein the release of the sex pheromone is controlled so that it can be released at a constant rate over a control period of a pest insect. More specifically, provided is a sustained pheromone releaser comprising a polymer container and having, enclosed therein, a mixture having a melting point of 15 to 35&#xb0; C. and being obtained by mixing a sex pheromone substance and a compound having a melting point of 10 to 40&#xb0; C.
