AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The broad exploitation of biochemical pesticides is limited due to their scarcity and high cost, primarily because few plant extracts contain significant amounts of active agents, and these plants are not widely cultivated in sufficient quantities.

Method used

Development of agricultural compositions that include a significant proportion of ingredients from biomass resources, specifically using extracts from non-woody plants of the genus Hesperaloe, which can be produced on a scale and at a cost comparable to geologically derived chemicals.

Benefits of technology

The agricultural compositions effectively control a wide range of pests, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical pesticides, while maintaining efficacy comparable to geologically derived chemicals.

Abstract

Disclosed are agricultural compositions derived from a renewable source and methods of making said agricultural compositions. The agricultural compositions may comprise an extract derived from non-woody plants of the genus Hesperaloe. The extract of a non-woody plant of the genus Hesperaloe may comprise water soluble components including lipids, proteins, inorganic salts, saccharides, polysaccharides, organic acids, saponins, or combinations thereof. The extracts may be prepared with minimal processing to remove at least a portion of the water insoluble solids. The agricultural compositions have a high degree of efficacy against a range of agricultural pests and may be particularly useful in preventing or inhibiting the growth of fungal organisms.
