USE OF NOVEL STRAINS TO BIOLOGICAL CONTROL NEW PINK ROT INFECTIONS IN STORED POTATO TUBERS |
By evaluating for soils suppressive to pink rot and isolating potentially useful strains only from those soils shown to exhibit superior suppressiveness to pink rot, we have discovered six novel bacterial agents that reduce pink rot on stored potato tubers. |

FUNGICIDAL PROPERTIES OF THREE SAPONINS FROM CAPSICUM FRUTESCENS |
CAY-1:1081:919 mixture ratios of 4:3:3 and 6:2:2 have increased fungicidal properties than CAY-1 alone against certain fungi. |

PHYTOPATHOGEN SUPPRESSION USING BACTERIAL METABOLITES |
This invention related to using bacterial metabolites to suppress phytopathogens, more particularly this invention relates to bacterial metabolites applied to Carya ollinoensis and Prunus persica as a fungicide to suppress and inhibit Glomerella cingulata, Phomopsis sp., Phytophthora cactorum, Fusicladosporium effusum and Monilinia fructicola. |

ATTRACTANT PHEREOMONE FOR THE COLORADO POTATO BEETLE |
The invention is an attractant (aggregation pheromone) for the Colorado potato beetle (CPB) Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). The attractant is a single compound (3,7-dimethyl-2-oxooct-6-ene-1,3-diol) that is released by CPB males. The compound is novel for insects and may exist as two enantiomers. |

ATTRACTANT COMPOSITIONS FOR WEEVILS OF THE GENUS OTIORHYNCHUS AND USES THEREOF |
The USDA has isolated, identified and synthesized plant derived odors that are attractive to Otiorhynchus weevils in the laboratory and field. |

TERRESTRIAL ARTHROPOD TRAP |
This invention involves using light emitting diodes (LEDs) of various wavelengths to produce a bright narrow spectrums of light and determined that the beetle was most attracted to near UV light at a 390 nm wavelength. |

COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR ATTRACTING ANASTREPHA SPECIES |
The USDA has discovered that pheromone components including anastrephin, epianastrephin and suspensolide, produced by males of the Caribbean Fruit Fly, Anastrepha suspensa, are linked to glucose to form a glycoside-pheromone complex in the oral secretions and that these compounds are attractive to both male and female flies. When exposed to the environment the pheromone components are liberated from the glycoside in a slow, predictable fashion dependent upon temperature, exposed surface area and amount of conjugate. |

MUTANT LYCOTOXIN-1 PEPTIDE SEQUENCES FOR INSECTICIDAL AND CELL MEMBRANE ALTERING PROPERTIES |
The invention is a yeast strain engineered for enhanced fuel ethanol production that is also engineered to express a library of genes for insecticidal peptides carrying the sequences for the HIS tag, MHHHHHH, the DDDK site, and the lycotoxin-1 mutant sequences optimized for lethality to the fall armyworm that is pelletized for delivery within zein micelles or pelleted in WDGS. |

NOVEL CADHERIN RECEPTOR PEPTIDE FOR POTENTIATING BT BIOPESTICIDES |
The USDA has discovered the partial sequence of a gene encoding a protein in the gut of Tenebrio molitor larvae. The protein that it encodes is similar to the receptor for the lepidopteran-active Cry1A toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). We predicted that this protein is the receptor for coleopteran-active Bt toxins, such as Cry3A, in Bt-susceptible coleopteran insects. Our preliminary data supports this claim, and we are in the process of cloning the complete sequence for the gene, expressing the partial sequence for structure/function studies, and developing antibodies for future studies. |

A METHOD FOR DEPOSITING A THIN FILM WAX MATRIX WITH INSECTICIDE FOR USE AS AN INSECT KILL BAIT STATION |
The invention is a method for depositing a thin film of a wax matrix that contains a feeding stimulant, a visual cue and insect killing agent on a surface. |
