The present invention relates to rodenticide baits and kits comprising anticoagulant rodenticides. The present invention further concerns methods of killing rodents using said baits and kits, as well as methods for reducing the environmental impact of anticoagulant rodenticides. In another aspect, the present invention provides a new use for calciferol.

The invention relates to the use of one or more compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof, wherein the groups R 1 to R 8 are defined as set forth in claim 1 , optionally in the presence of additional agrochemical active ingredients, for improving quality of turf or lawn.

Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation in animal grazelands.

Compositions and methods for controlling, mitigating, or reducing undesired vegetation including difficult to control weed species such as Juniper and Kochia . Methods for controlling, mitigating, or reducing undesired vegetation belonging to one or more difficult to control weed species may include applying to the undesired vegetation or its environment an herbicidally effective amount of an oil dispersion formulation, the oil dispersion formulation comprising aminocyclopyrachlor in a free-acid form suspended or dispersed in one or more oils.

Provided herein are insecticidal formulations for vector and pest control with increased contact efficacy, more particularly insecticidal active ingredient-matrix material particles and insecticidal compositions comprising such insecticidal active ingredient-matrix material particles. Methods of preparation of the insecticidal active ingredient-matrix material particles, the insecticidal compositions and uses of such insecticidal formulations are also provided.

The invention relates to weed mapping, monitoring and control, in particular to the mapping, monitoring and control of invasive annual grasses. A computer system comprises a receiving unit providing a processing unit with images of a geographical area, the images displaying the geographical area at points in time during a phenological cycle of a weed. At least two images depicting a weed at two different phenological stages may be used because two sequentially collected images are required in order to identify a characteristic temporal change. The processing unit analyzes the images to identify image areas showing a spectral signature characteristic of the weed. The processing unit identifies geographical sub-areas corresponding to the identified image areas and to create a weed distribution map with the identified geographical sub-areas marked as areas affected by the weed. The output unit is configured to output the map.

Methods and compositions for controlling undesired vegetation in animal grazelands.

The present invention relates to the application of plant protection agents, fertilisers and/or pesticides by means of a (preferably portable) sprayer or a small appliance (such as, for example, a bicycle tyre sealant injector). The present invention relates to a monitoring module with which existing sprayers can be equipped in order to control, track and/or document the spraying process. The present invention further relates to a method, a system and a computer program product for monitoring spraying processes.

The invention relates to the use of one or more compounds of the formula (I) or salts thereof, wherein the groups R 1 to R 8 are defined as set forth in claim 1, optionally in the presence of additional agrochemical active ingredients, for improving quality of turf or lawn.

Methods for controlling and/or suppressing Poa annua (annual bluegrass) in a stand of warm season turfgrass are provided. In certain aspects, the methods may include contacting a stand of warm season turfgrass comprising Poa annua with an herbicidally effective amount of thiencarbazone-methyl when the Poa annua is in an early post-emergence growth state or during an early post-emergence period of time.
