Ethene is used to make a host of organic compounds it is also the starting material for the preparation of polyethylene (Chapter 23). Since it is a plant hormone, ethene finds application in agriculture. It is used to ripen fruit that has been picked green to avoid spoilage in shipping. Exposure to ethene at very low concentrations produces the colors we associate with ripe bananas and oranges.

Biopract provides technological products and processes for industry, agriculture, and environment. They not only produce technical enzyme preparations but also develop enzymes for applications in agriculture, food, and textile industry as well as in environmental technologies. On the later, bioremediation has been an area of service delivery from Biopract. Their activities regards microbial preparations for the bioremediation of organic contaminants (mineral oil (MKW), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene (BTEX), methyl-tert-butyl ether (MTBE), volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOC), and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)).

From this brief review it will be realized that a new organic chemistry of phosphorus and fluorine arose during the war. Interest in these compounds now spreads far beyond the domain of chemistry, and the applications in agriculture and medicine have been particularly gratifying to those of us who worked on these substances initially as chemical warfare agents. Fortunately, they have not been used for the purpose for which they were originally designed. 

The aim of dispersion models is to develop reliable methods for calculating the atmospheric dilution of airborne pollutants under practical conditions. One application in agriculture is the determination of that distance, at which i.g. odouriferous pollutants of an animal farm are diluted in the atmosphere to a concentration below a certain threshold, in order to allow the farmer a profitable production and likewise to prevent odour nuisance from the neighbourhood. 

Nitrouracil has been found to display a stimulating effect on the growth of both the epigeous and subterranean parts of plants, suggesting its application in agricultural practice [315]. 

Major applications of chitosan were previously focused on sludge dewatering, food processing, and metal ion chelation until the mid-1980s. Further, it has received considerable attention for its commercial applications in agriculture, chemistry, biomedical, food, cosmetic, and biotechnology industries (Alasalvar et ah, 2002 Knorr, 1984 Kurita,... 

Sodium Metaborate Tetrahydrate and Dihydrate. The sodium metaborates are components in textile finishing, sizing and scouring compositions, adhesives, and detergents. They are also used in many photographic applications. In agriculture they are used in both herbicides and fertilizer sprays. The dihydrate is less affected by heat.

A book describing the development of chemistry in Britain over the period 1760-1820 in relation to the contemporary social context makes repeated reference to analytical chemistry. One of the themes developed is that chemistry in general, and analytical chemistry in particular, was seen as a means to social improvement through its applications in agricultural chemistry and mineral analysis. The availability and relative simplicity of much of the apparatus (e.g. the portable laboratories referred to earlier) meant that the appropriate analyses could be widely performed. Chemical analysis also held out the prospect of advances in medicine by applying both simple techniques and the latest technology, especially the voltaic pile, to attempts to analyse body fluids.335... 

It dissolves worse in diethyl ether and carbon tetrachloride. If stored for a long time, its aqueous solutions become acidic. The stability of trichlorfon largely depends on the pH of the medium at pH > 5.5 it slowly transforms into 0,0-dimethyl-0-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)phosphate, which finds an increasing application in agriculture and household.
