Abstract
Provided are liquid compositions comprising inactive biopesticide precursors comprising a glucosinolate concentrate, a plant material comprising a myrosinase enzyme complex, and a water soluble polyol. Further provided are methods of making and using such compositions.
Claims13
1-20. (canceled)
21:
- A pesticide application kit containing a liquid formulation comprising:
- (a) a glucosinolate concentrate;
- (b) an active myrosinase complex in a concentration sufficient to release an effective amount of glucosinolate breakdown products upon the addition of water;
- and
- (c) a water soluble polyol,
- together with instructions regarding (1) the addition of water to the liquid formulation to form a diluted liquid formulation and (2) application of the diluted liquid formulation to a pest.
3 more elements
22:
- A pesticide application kit according to claim 21 wherein either or both of the glucosinolate concentrate or the active myrosinase complex are dissolved in the water soluble polyol;
- and further comprising instructions regarding mixing of the glucosinolate concentrate and the myrosinase complex.
23:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 21 wherein the water soluble polyol is at least 80% pure.
24:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 22 wherein the water soluble polyol is at least 80% pure.
25:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 21 wherein the liquid formulation comprises at least about 1% water and up to 20% water.
26:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 22 wherein the liquid formulation comprises at least about 1% water and up to 20% water.
27:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 21 wherein the active myrosinase complex is present in a concentration of from about 1 unit to about 10 units per gram in the liquid formulation and the glucosinolate is present from about 25 mg to about 500 mg per gram in the liquid formulation.
28:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 22 wherein the active myrosinase complex is present in a concentration of from about 1 unit to about 10 units per gram in the liquid formulation and the glucosinolate is present from about 25 mg to about 500 mg per gram in the liquid formulation.
29:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 21 wherein the liquid composition further comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium chloride and ascorbic acid.
30:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 22 wherein the liquid composition further comprises a compound selected from the group consisting of magnesium chloride and ascorbic acid.
31:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 21 wherein the water soluble polyol is selected from the group consisting of glycerol, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
32:
- The pesticide application kit according to claim 22 wherein the water soluble polyol is selected from the group consisting of glycerol, polyethylene glycol and propylene glycol.
